Shame you never got a pic though! If I had seen anyone doing that and putting my tv, telco & broadband at risk I would have gone over to them with a baseball bat!

There is no dangerous voltage on any customer taps in the CATV cabinet, the highest voltages on coax are for the amplifiers that run from 60V AC (hardly enough to give much of a tickle)

Not completely true.If a customer has a doggy appliance(eg tv with a poor earth) it is possible to get increased voltage "back"through the catv.
Dont take this the wrong way mate,i dont mean to be one of those annoying pedantic people,i just though id point it out.In the majority of cases you are correct.
