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) Peter F. Meng
