There is always the possibility of damage to neighbor's electronic equipment should someone actually contemplate this. Coupling devices and fuses will eventually fail on the CATV plant, but this certainly would cause some real damage to the plant. It would, of course, be easily traceable to the causer's area and tap simply by visually inspecting the damage to the system. Not that they'd likely suspect the real cause of the damage. > > I think you've approached this correctly by writing and documenting all > this. Having the local government in the loop is smart.

It is still possible that the noise may be conducted by the CATV system, but caused elsewhere. Either way, the power company's noise locater will have the gear to do the job. It is most unlikely that your average installer or tech would. Have you had a conversation with your local CATV Plant Manager yet?
