Poking around their website looks like they offer a "dual
tuner" version -- which seems like it should handle my needs
(at least for TV).
OTOH, some of the more detailed documents indicate that
the two tuners share a single antenna. I.e., you couldn't
watch CATV *and* OTA -- you'd have to (at installation
time) decide if you wanted to support two OTA broadcasts
or two CATV broadcasts.
OTOOH, it seems like an older (?) version of the dual box
*did* support two antennae. So, a pair of external coaxial
switches would allow you to configure either tuner to
operate from either RF source (?)
Sheesh! Things were *so* much easier when we had just
3 stations and a pair of rabbit ears! :-/ (or, the
motorized roof-mounted antenna: kachunk... kachunk...
kachunk...)
