Basically that means that if I disconnect my basic cable from Comcast, I will either need a OTA antenna or record via satellite. Since I have both comcast basic and satellite, I wanted to get rid of Comcast basic. Seems like I will have to redo my setup if I want to keep using Myth instead of the satellite DVRs.<div>

I have a question:<br>
* Currently I have my myth recording via my Comcast Cable. If I disconnect my cable, will I still be able to get the basic channels (ABC, NBC, WLS, WGN, CBS) - I heard that the basic channels are supposed to be free?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

If you disconnect cable, you will need to get your local channels from another source, such as an antenna.<br>
<br>
In analog days, cable companies offered a basic (or lower) level subscription for people who only wanted the local channels (usually for $10/mo). I'm not sure if they do the same thing, now, in the age of digital TV. However, they are not required (or expected) to provide any service free to people who are not customers (that's what broadcast over-the-air TV is for). Check your cable company's terms for details, but unless you're paying them something, you almost definitely are not allowed to pull any signal from their cable lines.<br>
