I guess we’re going to find out.

We have no digital converter boxes in this house, so we may be out of luck come football time. I guess I’ll be searching the webz for an illegal feed. heh.

The local Fox TV station, FX channel and some Fox Sports Net channels will be cut off for all Time Warner customers. It doesn’t matter if it is digital cable or standard.

If you have an antenna and a TV capable of receiving digital TV (HDTV or over the air converter box) you can get the local Fox channel with an antenna.

Personally, I think Time Warner isn’t the bad guy in this. Rupert Murdoch is trying to get a more than 300% increase in the fees paid by Time Warner, fees that will be directly passed on to Time Warner cable customers. Murdoch is trying to get one dollar per subscriber for the local Fox affiliate. The current average is 30 cents per subscriber.
