That's how cable worked in the 90's, but most cable companies are using a digital signal now. You need a set-top box to get the signal because it may be encrypted, but also because TVs don't come with a tuner that can actually tune into a QAM256 signal. Most digital channels are delivered at all times, not on-demand, unless you have a switched system like uVerse.
