When I was first out on my own, I considered it.
No.
No. Comcast has probably gotten at least 10 large from me in the last eight and a half years.

Never really stole cable per se. Back in the late 80's-early 90's I did have a cheater box that I used to watch PPV events for free.

It's virtually impossible now, right? Cable boxes can only be activated from an account. You'd have to really know someone on the inside to steal cable.

Now there were times when I worked at Comcast, and it was obvious that some people would call in and activate service under a made up name (John Davis would be a cancelled account, and then days later a Dave Johnson would call to activate service in the same house), but I didn't care at all.

I steal satellite service.

Sending my own satlellite into space was a real bitch, but well worth it in the long run...

The person that lived there before already had the lines running into the apartment. It was like finding a twenty dollar bill on the ground every month and not picking it up.

It was a different time in America, i can stream what i want these days.

Why did you sent it into space, Crazy?

Mine orbits Spany's head. You should see the HD feed I get for NASCAR.

you can actually split your satellite bill with someone else if you have two boxes. give them a Box and find a dish on craigslist, align it correctly and boom....

They are taking it to a new level with my cable company. They don't just disconnect you at the box they go up the electrical pole and disconnect you as well. Nothing an extension ladder can't take care of though. It will still only get you basic cable.
