I don't decode , just a bunch of redundant over priced feed anyways.

Well I guess if you use a amplifier to decouple any back refection or
ground loops leakages. 

And then use the T.V. down stairs in a foil lined room. Well, then
electron emitions off the screen would be unreadable , even with a big
parabolic dish on top of a snooper--van parked out side of your house.

But , how about record and play back later , just recording the thing
wouldn't give off much emitions. Then play later , how could they
catch you in the act. -- unless they raided your collection and looked
for station codes on your video. 

Hey, I bet Active matrixe LCD emitions are real low .

I 'hate' the cable company , because they're so greedy .
Worse then the tele-co.s , worse than any ISP. or  D.SAT


Hey, if I new of a real cheap way to put internet on to cable, 
about 100 times better then what they are proposing , do you thing I'd

tell them anything . No way , not with out all kinds of patent lawyers
in many contries . Nope , I don't thing they'll get the tech they need
, with out paying lots and lots of money. Any inventors are going to
give the cable providers a real run for their money. The legal fees
alone to protect their inventions, well well well , its going to drive
the cost up up up.

Hey, don't give em any ideas unless they give you a shit load of cash
up front. ( OR, better yet only to non-profit , cable.)
