w00t, we finally got cable tv!

[Shawn]

My dorm room shares a bathroom with the room next door. We're good friends with our neighbors and their parents just paid for the cable so I asked if I could use it. They said yeah so I bought a splitter and a 50ft cable from Walmart and ran it from my neighbor's room, across the bathroom floor, and across our whole room. I taped it down to the floor with some packaging tape. 😀 w00t! That saves us the $30 activation fee plus $25/month. The bathroom doors still close too. 😉

Is bitto-rant supposed to be a pun?

It's not stealing if they are paying for it.

You really can't be that dense.

I guess my entire block can chip in for one cable connection, and just run the lines and splitters from house to house?

Couldn't you just buy them a wireless router as a "thank-you" and to avoid the wiring scheme?

I believe he's talking about TV, not internet.

Just like they wanted to charge for every TV in my house at home. Yeah right. I just took off the covers in the rooms and put a cable jack there.

 

[Chode Messiah]

just get an old 12ft sat. dish and make a wifi reciever. ull get signal from miles away. Also illegal.but tasty:evil:

 

[aplefka]

Technically, it is against the rules, but when they come out they're not gonna say anything. Hell, they even gave me a new splitter to get a better signal.

Well, then the occupants of the house actually pay for it.

It's no different. The cable company wanted us to pay extra for every TV we had hooked up. We are just hooking up an extra TV to my roomates cable. It's not like we opened up the box outside.

People who know about the internet still watch that crap? 😕 Anyway, he specifically mentioned BT, so...

It is completely different. Tell me what the difference is between what you're doing, and if an entire block on a street split one cable connection across several houses (besides them running cables outside).

EDIT: Is it roommate or neighbor? There's a huge difference.

Yeah, he had me at first too. Granted, I still do watch some programs, but I don't watch > an hour or two of TV a week. Just not my thing really.
