    SWIM has just hooked up cable to his household via an illegal connection through the box outside. Lets say he wants a cable internet service, would this illegal connection for his TV affect the chances of being able to have it?

    Thanks

    Not a chance.

    The cable modem has an internal ID number. If this isn't on file at the cable office as a paying subscriber, it can't be activated though their gateway server.
