Generally, they will leave a number of NTSC channels around those used
for DOCSIS.

But with cable companies moving to all digital, you'll find you won't
get anything of interest left on NTSC. Rogers has plans to move to all
IPTV service so it can compete on on-demand services and better set top
boxes.

Rogers will block all your channels and also cut your line (a guy with a
big knife comes by around 3 in the morning) about 4 days after you sign up
with a 3rd party internet provider. If you have some connectors you can
reconnect your line and your internet will work again.
