First, my other TVs aren't cable-ready -- I'd only get the local
broadcast stations, and with a worse picture.  Second, the cable company
is on a holy war against unauthorized hookups, and since I call them out
about once a month to try to get my signal cleaned up, they're bound to
notice.  Third, in my particular situation, the logistics of stringing
cable include boring holes through 6-inch block, and then having to
seal the hole against weather.
