ARRL's info on cable TVI may help:

This is a 3-part article that was first published in Communications Technology, the journal of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers. Your cable operator will feel comfortable with the content.

If things don't go smoothly, contact Mike Gruber, W1MG at arrl.org, with a short summary of your case and efforts to resolve it. Mike can forward a cable case to Ron Hranac, N0IVN. Ron serves on the SCTE Board of Directors and can be very helpful at helping local cable operators understand their responsibilities.
