If yo can prove to the cable co. that is is interfiering with your cable then
they would have to fix it!! It happened up here to (Nanaimo B.C.) and by law
they had to fix it! something to do with the FCC law that was put out by
CRFC! But hey you got real live COPS on HBO then did ya!?! That would be
kinda cool! :) l8r for now!
Sincerely,
