That won't work, and you can't "cheat" either. If you have a very old TV
with a fine tuning control, you could switch to cable channel 65, and be
able to tune in UHF channel 14. Modern TVs won't do that. Problem is that
UHF station 14+ are offset from cable channels 65+ by 2 MHz, or 1/3 of a
channel.
