Dear Group:

This may be a stupid suggestion, but what if one were to install
optoisloators on the cable line? This would short-circuit (literally and
figuratively)what the cable company can detect? Or is there something I
have not thought of?
Install them how?

A typical opto will require at least several millamps of current to make the
input side of it do anything useful -- that's DC.

A typical cable is carrying a bunch of different RF signals, all at very low
levels, way too low to do anything useful with an optoisolator.
