My next door neighbour has an unused TV aerial on his roof right next to our house. While he was on holiday i ran a short cable from my kids bedroom so they could have a decent TV signal without having to buy and fit an entire new aerial.

Thing is its not doing him any harm at all and it saves us a fair bit of hassle.

Should i feel bad about it?

ETA: Hes a bit of a nob anyway, really into his Italian cars and never stops talking about how much he hates the Labour government.

PS. Forgot to add a big biggrin at the end as this is a spoof thread and dont want people thinking i am a TV reception thief!

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I had a very similar situation but I don't like my neighbour, so I had a st down his chimney while I was up there.

Interesting theory, my neighbour doesn't use his car at weekends, should be ok for me to take it at weekends smile

Erm, you can't 'steal' tv from an aerial, surely? Most apartment blocks have a common shared aerial, you only pay for it when it reaches your tv?
