(first of all, I'm for the moment *assuming* the above to be true) Seems like they would have trouble picking out stuff coming from one specific tv set, especially in the case of apt/condos where there would be a lot of tv sets going within a small physical area. Also, an antenna amplifier should prevent anything from going back out the antenna.
