Getting something for nothing would be considered fraud in my way of thinking... I would call the Cable Provider and ask if it is legal to view their cable transmission without paying for it before dumping a bunch money into a high dollar DVR and other Televison monitor equipment. I think the cable provided INTERNET signals is around the CH79 - CH82 frequency bands which the cable company should be using filters just for your Internet Signals.
What I would do if you want to continue watching TV would be to install a good quality OTA Outside Antenna setup. We get all of the local channels here using the eight Bow-Tie Flat antenna panels mounted up on the peak of our house roof line. We are roughly 50 miles away from the Washington DC and Richmond Virginia areas and there a few other digital TV towers in some of the other somewhat close towns... There is also alot of cable TV like programs also being transmitted by these local TV stations. The live 24/7 radar transmissions are the most important ones for me...

This is all public TV from the National Broadcast System which is now all transmitted in High Def Digital mode and more important is legal to view and is free to the general public... You will not be considered stealing TV from your local TV provider doing this. This should let you sleep well at night knowing you are not doing something illegal... That is what my mother would have said at any rate if she was still living...
Just saying....
