When I moved in to my place I plugged the tv into the cable jack and I had free cable. One day a cable guy came by and climbed the pole in front and the cable was gone. I tried getting cable internet turned on but the company said the previous renters never canceled. I think the cable was shut off because of a bill not the cable company turning it off because there was new renters.
I then decided to get cable internet, hoping that it would turn on basic cable. I read that it would on a couple of yahoo answers. The guy came out hooked up the internet but no free cable. But he never went up on the pole too. Where the cable comes in from the pole to the house but before it goes into the house there is something connected to it. Any ideas?

they put a trap on the line which stops the cable from coming in.
sometimes u can still receive channels around 75-76

This just happened to me! I got cable internet and right away I had cable tv connection as well as HD channels. So far it has worked for me. I wonder how long it will last!
