- 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
