My dad was a cable instillation guy back in the late 80s. I remember this story he used to tell about the time he was sent to Chester to do a job and ended up getting chased with a knife. Must have been disconnecting someone’s cable lol

Cable guys would go in to the houses to do an install and come out to have an empty or missing truck. They used filters back then, these small cylinders (a little smaller then a roll of pennies). You would just screw them on to your cable line and they would give you different channels.
