I have some questions about RF leakage from a cable TV source: 1. Why does the cable company check for RF leakage? Is it merely to see who is tapping their signal and not paying for it? Is it a health hazard? Or does it cause interference to other TV's? 2. How do they detect leakage? I'm suprised there is enough leakage from a leaky system to be detectable. How much stray RF actually comes out of the leaks?] 3. What is the best way to reduce RF leaks in a home cable system. Thanks, Hugh -- ******************************************************************************* ** Hugh L.
