Channels past 99?

[egro]

Is there any possible way to get channels past 99 without a cable box hooked up to the cable line? I have cable that includes all the regular channels. I have it hooked up in two places in my home. I have one TV with a box and another TV without a box. Is there a way to get the TV without the box to display channels past 99?, but I don't have a box for one TV. Is there a way to get to the channels past 99 without another box.

No....

Yes, a TV with a digital tuner and a cable card.

Most cable ready tv's should go up to 125.

Whether the cable company sends out unencrypted analog signals in that range is another story.

On a regular analog tv,no. If you buy a tv with a built in QAM tunner, you will be able to get what ever digital or Hd signal they sent that is not encrypted.

Yeah I have a Panasonic with an HD/DTV tuner built in. It finds almost all Digital channels; however, they are grossly out of order, sometimes repeated, and just a regular mess! Reason being that the tuner is ATSC, and will show the channels according to their actual frequency, such as 2-1 or 132-3. Cable uses QAM, which would likely require a Cable Card anyway.

Well the channels will also move on you as well. Most systems will use a system to move channels around automatically to free up space. And when SDV launches it will be a worthless tuner anyway. Unless your TV is tru2way compatible.
