See Nano Nano's response which seems to make my argument moot then. But
I recall the cable system is like this:
H H H H
| | | |
Main --------- <--- Shared Lines
------[_________ <--- Shared Lines
Trunk | | | |
H H H H
I assume the only 'head end', the [ in the diagram, could be off and on
for each of the smaller shared lines but that isn't going to stop those
few H's (houses) from seeing their lines.
If cable could really be turned off like this then "cable theft" would
disappear.
