When I got my cable hookup installed ("Dimension Cable Company" in
West Lafayette, IN), they had me sign an agreement, part of which is
reproduced below. I'm not sure what the serviceman would have done
had I refused to sign.

At any rate, regardless of any other laws, they can now stick me for
breach of contract if I hook up additional sets and they find out (not
a problem though, since I only own one set :-) ):

	"12. Customer agrees not to change the locations of any of
	the service facilities. Customer also agrees not to connect
	or attach, directly or indirectly, any additional television
	set(s) or any other other device to any of the service
	facilities. Any unauthorized connection to the cable system
	is a misdemeanor [I'm not sure if I believe this]."
