Ping ? Never heard of cable companies pinging the signal .
I think the pinging really only applies to people who reconnect a disconnected cable service not those who already have a legit box up and running.
I read about a guy in the usa being "pinged" (not the correct term) and getting caught because he only had cable internet and not a cable tv decoder and they figured out what he was up to because his connection wasnt terminated.
although im no expert, sat-indusrty really needs a cable forum to attract some experts
