Seems to me that if you still want to watch KSAT, you can just unplug the cable and stick in an antenna. Then when you want to watch something else, you can put the cable back in. I don't have cable and I pick up ABC, CBC, NBC, Fox and others using cheap rabbit ears.

I think you are right on that. My remote can switch back and forth from one signal to another and that's what I'll be doing if I must watch ABC. I already have a converter box that is needed for 09', I had it to convert to HD before it was free to TW customers.

I am seriously considering switching to Att. I am growing tired of all the problems we have had with Time Warner. If we lose ABC, thats really it for us.

That will only work for the next 130 days until the digital tv conversion.

That's not true for most HD televisions or anyone with an almost-free digital-analog converter.

I doubt that KSAT will be off of Time-Warner for that long. KSAT can't afford to walk away from that many viewers. That's why they're trying to reduce the number of T-W subscribers.

Here's the government website that offers 2 $40 certificates for the purchase of a digital-analog converter that will enable your analog televisions to work with over-the-air broadcasts after the switchover in February. Converters cost about $50, so the certificates knock the price down to about $10 when all is said and done.
