Maybe I'm "conscience challenged" but once it's inside the walls of my
house, it's mine! If they don't like it, they should filter it at the
pole outside my property line so there is no chance I might
misunderstand what is mine and what is theirs.

That's sort of my view on all open air transmissions as well. If the
cable company wants to provide more service than what I'm contacted to
pay for, that is their choice. It sure keeps me from looking at "the
dish". :)

 I do it all the time with my clients. It's keeps them happy when I do
something for them thats a bit special and don't charge them for it. I
think of it as a relationship building experience. One clients Nextel
email account got clogged with spam one day and he was on the road
waiting for an important email. He called and asked me to log into his
account and dump the crap so he could get the important stuff. I have
often handled a crappy email attachment (usually a word doc that is a
wrong version) just to help out. Keeps my people happy.
