Here is the exact FCC regulation language:

The way I read it, a manufacturer could include a digital QAM tuner, but if
it is capable of tuning a frequency allocated for OTA broadcast, then it
must include an ATSC tuner as well.
That says to me that you can't include an analog NTSC tuner to get the
analog tier cable signals, so a QAM-only tuner would be limited in
usefulness.

Are they allowed to make digital cable ready but not OTA ready TV's?
