Well, the apartment should be pre-wired for cable -
Reminds me of the time, back in 1968, when I moved into a brand new apartment in San Jose, off of SW Expressway.
The cable/antenna box was prewired into the apartment. All we had was a small, B&W portable TV, sitting on a TV tray. Since the rabbit ears just weren't getting decent reception, I decided to hook into the box on the wall. Then I found out how much it cost and couldn't afford it ..... because we were saving up for a bed - out apartment was unfurnished.
So, I thought I could just tap into the box and no one would be the wiser. I did so and the TV reception was fantastic! However, the next morning was a Saturday and all the neighbors were down in the managers office bitching that they didn't have any TV reception.
As I watched the repair crew moving through the complex, it dawned on me .... maybe I had done something to the system by "tapping" into it -
I quickly disconnected my TV and put all the wires in the box in the wall back to where they were. Yep, all at once, everybody got their TV signal back.
Nope! I never told anybody there, what I had done. -
