Digital Boxes-Qam Tuner-Service-Different rooms

searched and couldn't find anything posted.

I have a QAM tuner on one tv and do not currently subscribe to TWC digital service. They do provide the local stations digitally with standard service--that's ok but I'd like more. I hate the idea of paying $70 for tv! I would have gotten digital service by now if they didn't want to make me rent a box. Those $7-8 a month add up. Also charging the same for HD channels when I would ony get like 2 more that I get now--for free!

Anyway, they are having a promo and looking at the details seems they add on extra fees for each tv. Well, if I got digital service on the nonQAM tv would that let my QAM tv pick up the digital channels in the other room w/out spending the extra ~$20 or so?

I hope this makes sense.

thanks

No.

The QAM channels you're not getting are most likely encrypted. You'd need a CableCARD enabled TV, rent a CableCARD to decrypt the channels, and pay the service fees for the channels you're not getting but want.
