April Fools 2018 Prank for encrypted cable TV

[comm...@korea-dpr.com]

save honey bees. Go hook TV directly to encrypted cable headend areas for
pranks on April Fools 2018. Save the honey bees.

Trying to scan the QAM channels may lock up your tuner and force you to
power off (or pull the plug on some), disconnect the coax, power on and
delete the offending channel, then proceed. (to even see the EAS screen or
the "need an adapter" program)

It has been reported that Comcast has encrypted all digital channels
including locals. They seem to have left some analog channels come though as
of May, 2013. Frequently analog channels are part of a "lifeline" service
similar to what phone companies offer low income households.
