The best way to check is by using Time Warner's channel lineup webpage and entering your zip code or city and state. I searched for my state here in Arizona, and their basic cable service only offers the main local channels (like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC), not their subchannels. This may vary by city and state, so don't take my word for it.

If they don't offer subchannels, you will need a converter box, and it will have to be connected to your TV independent of your cable connection (using an AB switch or a splitter).

Do you have basic cable service with Time Warner or do you rent one of their set top boxes?

with cable you only get the main network. If you want sub-channels get a box and an antenna

Hook up your cable line and box/antenna with an A/B switch so you can switch from antenna to cable whenever you want a sub channel

It's the same here with DirecTV too, no sub channels. I wonder why?

staticMHZ

I'm not sure why.

In my area, TWC does give you some digital sub-channels but you must have their HD box to get them.

There is no requirement to provide sub-channels, but some service providers will do so. We get practically all the sub-channels here (but this is Comcast), but only on Digital Starter or above.

Yes, on Comcast, they do give you some of the sub-channels but you need a Digital package with one of their boxes and you need a qualified digital package. Like THIS TV, is up in the 700's.
