:The earliest form of cable in the U.S. was "community anntena," i.e. simple retransmission of the programs. Commercials were a part of it, though I don't think the cable operators received money for it. [[User:Tomos|Tomos]] 21:23, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This article is in another language, not English however as stated incorrectly at the moment. If was smart enough to fix it I would. Aldie 14:05 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)

"the signals are not transmitted over the airwaves where anyone (including children) can receive them."

I understand the point whoever was trying to make, but you have to get the child perfectly aligned to pick up even the major stations :) I can't think how to reword this - please help. Verloren

"the signals are not transmitted over the airwaves where anyone with a television set (including children) can receive them." How's that? Darkwind 20:20 19 May 2003 (UTC)


This article is very US-centric. Surely someone out there can write a history of cable television in Europe? 18.24.0.120 23:12, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)


If "basic cable" redirects here, it needs to actually talk about basic cable in some way. -Branddobbe 07:08, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)
