Yeah, I'm here in good ol' Glendale. I suppose it's worth a shot to use an A/B switch just to see if I could get the signal. I'm not extremely well versed on cable technology, so I'm not sure if the box is even going to work without getting the 'active' signal from the Charter...but I think I might have an old switch around here somewhere to hook it up.
Given what I know about the cable service now though, I have a feeling that the cable box will be 'paralyzed' without a signal from them. If you've ever been late on your cable television bill payment, you know what I mean -- the remote doesn't work, you get a 'no service' message, etc.
Like I said though, it's worth proving out...I'll post for all to see afterward. If it doesn't work (as I anticipate it won't) my days with Charter may be numbered. The ads I've seen for DiscoveryHD and all of the OTA broadcasts I'm missing are getting far too compelling to ignore! Cable may just be losing yet another subscriber to the 'evil dish'!
