Title: cable TV signal leakage

This is an applied physics question, so no flames please.

  My appartment complex recently rewired their cable TV, so that each
appartment has a seperate line, instead of a tap on a common line.
Naturally, the complex has stopped providing the previously 'free'
service.  I have not subscribed to cable.  My question is this:  I
have noticed substantial leakage from the surrounding cable, such that
I can see 1 or 2 'cable' channels faintly via my TV antenna.  Is there
any way to boost this leakage signal so that I can 'receive' cable
channels off of my neighbors' leakage?
