I don't know how good you "Pore"...

Evidently, not well enough. Was Not meant as a slam, honest!
But here is the nitty-gritty info.:
The cable company must either provide an analog signal, or a FREE cable box for their first tier customers.
Any signal the cable company pulls out of the air (OTA aka, local Broadcast Channels) for free, must be provided to the customer for free. This includes your local broadcast HD Channels. If you have an ATSC tuner, you can receive the Clear QAM channels by hooking your ATSC Tuner directly to the Cable Company Coax, but the Cable Company does not provide any guide info as the OTA signal does, also the channel assignments can move at any time, forcing you to do a channel scan.
