An idea that crossed my mind for an OTA box: It would receive and decode 6 or so digital TV signals in parallel, a bit like a cable head end equipment room. Each decoded digital TV signal would then be modulated onto its own TV channel, so you have from the box an analog NTSC channel on say ch2, another on ch4, another on ch6, another on ch7 and so on. It would go in between a rooftop antenna and a splitter that feeds several analog TVs throughout the house. Each TV set user would tune his TV as before, and it would look like he was getting ordinarl OTA analog TV.
Having the equivalent of 6 OTA set-top-boxes in one box is probably too expensive, and the customer base not big enough, to be a viable product.
