I don't know about the above idea.  I tried that, it wasn't long and I got
a call from my local CATV dud.  He said he was detecting leakage from my
duplex.  He traced it to my CATV amp.  It was a 1 to 4.  I even terminated
the unused outputs.  This was a Radio Shack model.

Did I just get a bad amp.  Or did he just have his sensitivity turned up.

Since we are on the subject.  Is it possible for a lay person to build
one of these CATV leakage detects.  That way you could check out your
own system.
