OK i have the basic cable and i was told its just a filter blocking my other channels in the box on the pole.. but i live in an apartment complex so is there a way i can get to the filter? the guy came to install my road runner the other day and used a tool.. it plugs into the coax outlet in the house and must send a signal to the box or something and then he could determine where it was at... any information or websites for more information would greatly be appreciated..

thanks

anybody remember that guy who got sued by the cable company because they DIDN't put a filter on his cable line. He only wanted Internet but they said he was stealling cable.

I could tell you, I know how; but before I do you do realize that what you are asking for is illegal, correct? It's called cable theft and is punishable by jail time and a massive fine. That's like walking up to the police and asking where you can buy some pot.

Just pay for cable. The fine and embarassement is much higher than a lifetime of cable tv fees.

by wanting to know how to get free cable, you imply you want to use it which is ripping off the cable company n00b.

Speaking of channels, WTF is this??? Comcast was nice enough to let me know that I now have this channel. Thanks, but no thanks.

No, OIKOS, my wife and kids are not asleep. They are watching TV. Why do you ask?

Keep in mind that I live only a few miles from Rowland Heights. In fact, I have family living there. :evil:
