    The filters were installed to unscramble the channels. Not the other way around. We had a filter for Cinemax that we’d put in line as it would get to our cable box in the house.

      Might depend on where you were; I know where I am it filtered the signal out.

      I know this because we didn’t get HBO until there was this random coax filter lying on the ground next to the telephone pole in front of the house.

        Could be. I know this because we owned the filter that gave it to us when installed. Each cable company could have been doing something different, though.
