Read that whole article on ZDnet, specifically the part on exactly "how" the hackers get the TV signal.
It keeps saying that the hackers split the "cable line" as if there is a seperate coaxial cable coming into your house just for internet. It's not that way where I live - tv broadcast, internet, and digital TV can all come in on the same coax. And I have even gone outside to where the cable is wired into the house (the first splitter) and I don't see any of these magical "filter" things that the article speaks of. I guess my cable company is more secure.
