	Is it really illegal to hook up an additional tv (via coupler)
to an existing cable provided by your local cable company. I realize
the cable company would have you believe that (because they want
the extra few dollars a month for an additional outlet).
But are you really breaking some kind of law ??
	What are the penalties?? Would the cable company charge
you for it or might they possibly revoke your cable service entirely?
How about getting a FM splitter to get access to the stronger FM
signal the cable company usually offers (not to mention the MTV
stereo signal on 90.1). I guess this would be illegal too. Oh, well.
				
				Just curious (really)
