Most cable companies carry local (non-premium) HD channels unencrypted in QAM format. TVs with built-in QAM tuners can receive the broadcasts without
a set top box or cable card. My TV in NJ can do this. My HDTV in Seagrove uses an external Over The Air tuner that does not support QAM format. Does anyone receive QAM unencrypted local HDTV from Mediacom? Has anyone tried to connect their QAM equipped HDTV directly to the cable?
