It's really not a good idea to recommend people commit theft of
service. It's a felony, and can have pretty hefty fines. If the cable
guy happens to climb the pole to work on a neighbor's connection and
finds that you did this to yours, all it takes is a phone call for
them to start making your life hell.
Well Theft would be climbing the pole and connecting or disconnecting something, but if the cable company neglected to place a filter on your line, is it stealing? I dont think it is

Sure it is. If I leave my car in your driveway with the keys in the ignition and the car running and you decide to take it for a "test-drive" can I report my car stolen?
Just because they didn't put the filter on doesn't give someone the justification to be able to help themselves to whatever they want. They still own the content.
