[Cable TV] Still getting channels after cancellation

FreeCable	[Cable TV] Still getting channels after cancellation I canceled TV but kept Internet/phone. The truck came and installed a filter I guess but I still get a good 10-15 channels. Is this typical or did the tech make a mistake? Is this permanent? Des Moines area if that helps...

FreeCable	No HDTV. I am getting 3-4 public access channels in the teens and about 10-12 channels in the 63-72 range. Not really channels I watched on a frequent basis but it is nice to have some channels before I sign up for D-TV latter this summer.

I once had the entire analog 'Family Cable' channels (2-78) for about 6 months before they finally got someone out to trap it. LOL And of course you'll continue to get QAM unencrypted locals no matter what.

The thing is that The downstream signal for many of mediacom's systems are down around channels 98 and 14 while other systems are in the high end of the spectrum. Mediacom uses the same trap for all systems in a single area. And that trap HAS to pass the HSD Signal. That is why you get some channels. You just had a LAT
