Can Lincoln-area TWC subscribers receive HD channels on an HDTV with a built-in QAM tuner?
I"m a basic cable subscriber through Time Warner, and I am strongly considering the purchase of a 42" Magnavox LCD HDTV, which has a built-in QAM tuner. An HDTV with a QAM tuner lets you receive a handful of channels in high definition, if the local cable provider is sending out unscrambled HD signals. I had no idea this was possible until I spoke to a friend of mine from high school.
That friend, who currently lives in San Antonio, also has an LCD HDTV with a built-in QAM tuner, and he can receive his local stations in HD without a cable set-top-box.
Does anyone know if TWC sends out unscrambled HD signals, which would allow me to view any channels, local or national, in HD just going through a coaxial input?
Any insight/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
