I thought I remembered, that if you had one of the new TV with a built-in HD receivers, that you could receive some channels w/o cable service?
Yes...you can always connect up to an antenna to see what you get.

And...we have internet-only with the cable co (no TV service, not even basic) but still get a bunch of TV channels anyway over the cable. I think they don't quite know how to allow the digital internet signal while blocking all the digital TV signals. All 3 big networks, NH and ME public TV, plus a couple of others. Oh, and they're in HD too. Some channels are there several times in different resolutions (sd, hd, 1080)

I'm not sure if that's the case with all cable co's, but...that's the TW story.

We rarely watch 'em though, maybe a couple of times a year when there is some big news story or something.
