Unauthorized cable hookups are a serious and expensive problem—both for us and for our legitimate, paying customers. Cable theft reduces the quality of service you receive and can cause frequent disturbances or interruptions in your service. Tampering with or altering a cable system or converter to receive unauthorized services is a Federal crime punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.

The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 "prohibits the unauthorized reception of communications service over a cable system". In addition, the FCC determined in November, 1994 that the use of cable descramblers not authorized by cable systems is a violation of federal law.

We have the technology necessary to detect unauthorized hookups, and we conduct periodic systems checks to ensure compliance with the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984.
