Vista To Not Require NTSC Tuner!

AVS Forum | Vista Beta 2 Discussion | Jay P. Kapur of the Media Center TV Team confirmed at AVS Forum that Vista will not need an NTSC Tuner!  This means you can use ATSC Tuners and/or CableCARD’s without needing a separate NTSC Tuner installed.  Vista Beta 2 still needs the NTSC Tuner, but the final will not.  Previously, Media Center has keyed the ATSC EPG Data off of the selected NTSC Lineup.

Cool, hope this turns out to be true. About time they root out some that awful legacy code.
But will it properly support USB tuners that can pull both? Only time with tell.
