free cable?
 
does anyone know if i can get free cable by setting up just cable internet but not actual cable? you buy each one seperatly in packages and you can setup just internet if you want and im wondering if they can send JUST internet through the cable cables or if itll magically have cable through it as well? someone told me it would work like that but im skeptical.

If you got a shady installer or hook him up with a few bucks, he might. Guy that installed our knology internet gave us basic, was mighty nice of him.

Look into FTA satellites.

probably just some filters on the line to eliminate the cable channels.
local slut around here worked for armstrong stopped by and asked if I had cable, I did so she asked if I had HBO and Skinemax. I didn't so she ripped off two little filters and then I did.

Everyhere we went if they didn't have cable she'd open up the box, crimp an end on the coax cable, plug it into their house and they'd have it.

Stenseltism is right. They can NOT send you an internet signal without also sending the cable tv signal. They install an inline filter on the line at your house to block the frequency range that the cable channels are on if you only purchase internet service. You can just unscrew it and bypass it.

Cable stealing muthafuckas.

All I can think of is that commercial about the little girl in school saying how her daddy has a magic black box, that gets all the channels. And then it's like "Stealing cable is a serious crime".

---- comcast.
