AnswerThe trained cable TV installer from the cable company checks at the outside box, where it comes into your house or apartment building.

They open the dome, panel, or box and visually check if the coax cable that feeds internet/televison signals in to a dwelling is physically connected to your house, and if so if you are paying for the service.

Even though the cable may be connected to your house, there might be a filter or blocker inline with the cable, either filtering out TV if you only pay for Internet or blocking the signal completely.

They can also use special equipment to see if you are thwarting the service.
