Oh yeah because TV's totally put out a signal and it's totally traceable down to the specific house.
If anything he probably picked up a wifi router from a neighbor's smart TV

That is their bullshit line to scare you. As an engineer I'm sure you know that a TV is a receiver only and does not transmit a signal.
Eventually they can get a bailiff to gain entry but that takes months. Plenty of time for you to get rid of your TV. They have to catch you in the act to get a prosecution.
If you can prove you only use the TV for your playstation ie you hide the ariel there is nothing they can do.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I think PBS found the solution to their funding problem.

I'd love to see that battle in congress. Not a fucking chance. Now the internet? Fuck it's already built into the rent and good luck trying to get another cable besides one of Comcast's.

All we gotta do for Net Neutrality is just keep adding acids and bases until the Net gets to around 7.

Best TV programs in the world without an advert every 10 minutes spoiling every broadcast for less than a cable subscription. The BBC is the envy of the world. We laugh at you poor suckers. Enjoy your commercials you losers.....

We get the BBC too. It used to be ok but now it's just trash.
