splitting cable signals....Speaking of AMPs

Speaking of amps .....
A couple of years ago we had 5 TV's and an amp, gemini I think.
We were eating dinner when we heard a loud beep, beep, beep
coming from outside. There was a Comcast cable truck outside.
The worker rang our bell. He said he detected an illegal condition
that needed to be resolved. If we refused, service would be stopped.
We let him in. He said that our amp was in violation and had to be
removed. We complied and he went away. The reason he gave was
that it interfered with aircraft, believe it or not. We never hooked it
back up. It was very scary to have somebody pull up outside and
"scan" our premisis. Makes you wonder what else they have.
It is basically a radio, your amplifier was emitting signals, IE
broadcasting, and he was able to pick it up, with a more sensitive
receiver than TV or radios.
The frequencies used by air craft, and police are right above the FM
band (what would be 109-120 on the dial or so), which is between
channels 6 and 7 in the TV spectrum.
So yes, a bad TV antenna product can cause problems with public safety.
