Twoply 0 #1 September 8, 2006 I've been borrowing cable for a while and today when I got home it was gone. I checked this and that and even eventually ran a brand new cable line out to the, what I think is called a terminal, that comes out of the ground in my backyard. I plugged the new line into that and then into my tv and nothing. Can they shut off those terminals individually or can it be something to do with a new cable company taking over the area? Help! If my woman can't watch TV she'll want to talk all freaking night!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 September 8, 2006 You've been getting free cable for who knows how long and now you're pissed that the cable company finally seems to be on to you? Yeah, life is so unfair."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J.

micro 0 #3 September 8, 2006 I'm crying for ya buddy. Just consider yourself lucky if you don't get a BILL for the months you stole. You're better off w/o TV anyway. Most of it is shite. Unless I'm on the road for business, I never watch it at all. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twoply 0 #4 September 8, 2006 Right, and if you moved into a new house and the cable was on, you'd call the company and have them shut it off. Yeah ok. I want to know how things work. If it's gone so be it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #5 September 8, 2006 Yes, they can shut off the cable to any connection they want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's gone so be it. Oh you just want to know how things work? I thought you wanted to avoid hearing your woman talk your ear off all night? Believe what you want about me, bud. If you read my post carefully enough you'd know that I don't watch TV in my home...at all. Even if I did watch TV, I wouldn't steal cable. Stealing is stealing.

If it's gone so be it. Yeah, I would, because I wouldn't want to loose my internet connection one day. Like you just did. I don't watch much TV, but I can't live without my highspeed.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #8 September 8, 2006 Ditto. I get my cable internet from the same company I get my cable tv from. If I moved in and cable tv was already hooked up, I would still contact them to get my internet, at which point they would start charging me for tv, too. Which is fine with me.

Doesn't want to listen to his woman talk about things, either. You get no sympathy from me. Just wondering, if you'd care to explain, how you can "borrow" cable. How did you intend on returning it? You got caught stealing. As a professor I have said during the opening lecture, "you get caught? Suck it up, cupcake." Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

They wanted to charge installation fee of $50... but i get a free movie channel for one month. I explained there is nothing to install. It works ! But sir we still have to charge you $50. Umm no you don't you, can turn it off. Walked out. Had free cable for 9 years. They finally turned it off 3 months ago. I don't miss it. I do miss the Weather Channel so i don't have to get on the computer to see the radar. What bothers me is i think it was my over zealous goody good friend who called the cable company and told them.
