Default cable companies

I am assuming TWC = Time Warner Cable.

I have Metrocast with no cable box. However I have a QAM tuner on which I am able to access the digital channels. For instance 6-1 is channel 6 high def and 6-5 is channel 6 digital as well as 6 for channel 6 analog signal.

Metrocast as of January 31st discontinue channel 6 because channel 7 braodcast the same affiliate. They also discontinue Channel 8 because channel 9 is the same affiliate.

However, I am able to get channel 6 and 8 digital and the analog channels are gone. I was able to watch the game on channel 6 HD even though the folks with cable boxes could not.

I also notice to the higher channels 95-100 if someone in the neighborhood is watching an on demand or PPV, i can pick the signal up.

I always use channel 8 weather as I find the weather forecast a lot more accurate than channel 9
