I am thinking about canceling or getting rid of some of my Comcast services.
Basically TV
I have found that most of the TV stations I can get thru the internet for free
using Windows Media Center , or other internet sites.
What I am curious of is if I cancel my TV services completely will I get some standard free channels available for everybody no matter what?
Does antenna/air wave broadcasted TV shows equal coaxial cable broadcasted TV shows? Or are there more channels available from one then the other currently ?
Note : I am not talking about in theory which media air or coaxial supports more stations.
And I am not asking if the air or coaxial cable has better quality/clarity over the other.
I am asking weather you use air/antenna or coaxial cable if one has broadcasted different stations that you cann't get with other?
Question 2
Does the TV / cable company have to provided any of the free air channels thru there coax cable for free?
Or in general you can only use the air waves/antenna to get any free stations if I cancel my TV services
Question 3
Who is responsible for providing TV thru the air are these comcast company or the FCC ,...i.e what company is responsible for broadcasting TV over the air in certain locations? ( is the same coax cable providers responsible for the TV thru the air channels)
