I used to subscribe to Comcast Digital TV with HD and cable modem service. I cancelled the cable TV but kept the cable modem service.
I just got a TV with a ATSC tuner. I cannot use OTA because of a mountain in the way. I connected the TV to the cable outlet and I get basic analog cable and the local networks in HD. I know watching ESPN, Discovery or other cable channels is illegal and stealing cable. But I literally only watch HD.
Is it illegal to watch FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC over the cable since the exact signal and programing is otherwise available freely?
If it is not illegal could they accuse me of watching the other channels even though I never tune to them?
