> Side note: the cable tuner is useless on cable, due to all cable companies moving to encrypting all channels, or moving to IPTV platforms entirely, thus always requiring a box

Maybe on your market. In Germany, unencrypted DVB-C is alive and kicking, especially for public broadcasting which everybody has to pay anyway. (I think private broadcasters have switched to an encrypted model or are in the process, but I don't care about them because German private TV is utter crap.)
