   Some Guy to All   
   Are TV signals blocked if I'm just payin

   From: Some@Guy.com   
      
   If I cancel any or all TV packages on my (Rogers) cable service, and if   
   later I decide to subscribe to an internet service through cable   
   (internet provided either by Rogers or Tek Savvy), is it technically   
   possible for Rogers to install a filter that would block any of the   
   available TV channels (be they digital ATSC or legacy NTSC) ???   
      
   Rogers still has many analog TV channels from 2 through 70 still active   
   where I am, and I get a few digital channels without going through a   
   converter box (some of those digital channels are un-encrypted PPV and   
   On-demand).  I'm wondering if I would still get those channels if I   
   cancelled my cable TV service but later opted for internet-over-cable.
