they wouldn't break into YOUR boxes if ya wouldn't lock em, Like you said, the customer owns the cable in his house NOT the cable company. A guy pays hundreds of dollars to have his house prewired when it's built and hooks up to cable tv, Then he realizes that his cable is going up 2-3 dollars every year so he calls the satellite company only to find that YOU locked up HIS wiring, Like you are the only one allowed access to it!
