- Well, it isn't really illegal unless I do it without paying for it.
- The cable company says if I want to split the cable I must PAY for
- additional service (about $10/month). They said they don't care if the
- cable is going to two separate tv's (in different rooms) or a vcr and
- tv in the same room. It seems pretty unreasonable to me... is it like
- this elsewhere? Are they lying to me in hopes of getting more of my
- money (they won't get it, of course)?
