Of course you can include an NTSC/analog tuner in it; if you want to. But if you have OTA digital/ATSC why in the world would you want the analog. As soon as I got my HDTV Wonder intstalled in my WMCE and saw what an improvement the SDTV content was over analog, not to mention the HDTV content,I unhooked the analog antena and erased all the analog stations. They were complete crap.BTW I get more digital stations than I got analog. The PBS, NBC, ABC, and PAX affiliates all run multiple sub-channels where I live.
BTW. I had to chuckle at your gripe. I had the exact same reaction, however I knew the limitation before I bought the HDTV Wonder. Incidentally I left my analog tuner in the case because I thought I had to. I was upset because I wanted the space for another card. One night while I was fiddling inside the case I accidentally tore off a cicuit mount capacitor on the analog tuner and thought "Oh crap, it might screw up the digital tuner!", but I just yanked it out and the HDTV Wonder kept on chuggin. The only thing is though, is that if you want to change TV settings in the Settings menu it scans for the analog tuner and will not let you make changes if it is not found. So if I want to make a change I just put it back in and everything is OK (even though I probably ruined the analog tuner-I never tried to test it)
