The FCC allocates the same channel frequency and bandwidth to both services so the same tuner can be used for either one. These tuners have their own i2c address. They are not a part of the decoder chip. Currently these tuners have separate code in video4linux CVS and dvb CVS that does exactly the same thing. The code in video4linux CVS is configured by tables and supports a large number of the analog tuners. It would be nice if the code in video4linux was shared instead of having to maintain code that does the same thing in dvb CVS for tuners that are used by both analog TV and ATSC.
