I don't see why it makes any difference to the cable company. It's not like they own or rent cable boxes. I mean, everything these days already has a cable tuner in it. And the tuners I would be using would probably just be old VCR's. (Pretty much what I do now). The only difference would be that now, instead of being on top of the TV, it would be in the basement. Connected through a long cable.
Likewise, if you chose to do this with digital television, you'd own the converter box, and it would be hooked up to a roof antenna. Provided that you didn't somehow wind up with more than your alotted two $40 off coupons, it doesn't matter what you do with your new digital TV converter box, or how many of them you buy.
Really, the only deviation I'm suggesting is a way of modulating the signal on something other than just channel 3 or channel 4. And, if done through a cable and not over the air, there would be no "broadcasting", so therefore no FCC problems.
