their neighbors house where they had the same setup...
Would you be able to get a network connection between
those two houses?

This might turn out to be an unnecessary expense for me
to try it, if it didn't work, so, I thought someone on
this group might already have the equipment to try it,
without incurring additional expense, or, you might
already know if it will work.

I thought it would be an interesting experiment.

What do you think?

There are lots of ways to steal cable.
That additional expense you incur might be for lawyers.
Cable TV doesn't reach this far out of town. I wouldn't
be able to steel cable if I wanted to, which I don't.

I think you don't understand what I was talking about.

My bad.
Just use a wireless modem and a cantenna or some such to
increase the range.
