Most cable feeds have at least 2 channels that they transmit on. Tell them
your cable company and area and they should be able to tell you which one
to use. The real point here is that on any cable feed on most of the
channels (not all) they will put up a local commercial and since it comes
from the local channel it will block out the feed. See which channels they
have and watch to see if there are local commercials on that particular
channel. In your case WGN would not be a good choice. GGGG
