	When I was in college at Purdue U. (W. Lafayette, IN), the cable
system there used "black boxes" mounted on the telephone poles from
which several houses were fed.  They just used a short piece of wire
to "scamble" the pay TV channels (only HBO at that time).  The short
piece of wire was used as a (de)tuning stub.  Cheap, inexpensive,
and passive.
