FWIW, here is my experience with free cable. When I moved into my
apartment I did not set up cable service. One day shortly after moving
in I connected up a TV to the cable outlet and behold, I had cable.
This continued for over a year, until one sad day I came home to find a

I dont think this arguement will hold up... if this was the case, cable

they seem to whack you. (and this was way before DMCA and such)

Depending on your area, and cable company, they will add the filter
blocks to take the television channels off your block or not,
completely depends on your installer. If they saw your dish, and that
