Maybe in so cal, their contract doesn't require them to provide broadcast stations without a box.

Went through every channel after re-scanning both my HD TVs. There not there.
I have a tech from TW coming out on Sunday but I think that will be a waste of time except to give me someone to talk (bitch) to.
With no boxes or receivers and only cable that we've have for over ten years I doubt if we get anywhere.
Thanks for the posts and I'll let you know what transpires.

The tech that came out but couldn't figure anything out so he's sending out the service guy to check the pole. Stay tuned.

Latest update
Yesterday I had a card installed in my new Tivo by T.W. and the tech was very knowledgeable and said that they had been having trouble with the local HD channels and were working on it.
He said that he had even talked to someone that morning and he thought it might have been corrected.
I scanned all my channels again and checked. I have 2-1 through 7-1. 9, 11 & 13 aren't coming in yet.
What's maddening is that I could not get any kind of answer as I kept calling in every week.
However....they did take $20 off this months bill. I guess threatening to switch to Verizon at least got their attention.

Might not be a bad idea to start thinking about getting the local hd channels through an antenna. Pretty cheap and easy option.

MIGHT be easy, depending on where you live. Not just distance, but topology.... Originally Posted by jessef15
