are these useful anymore

[RatLabGuy]

Cleaning g out an old drawer, found these coax line filters. I *think* they may be the old filters they used to put on the cable line to enable HBO etc? Not sure. Can't figure what else they would be.
W everything having gone digital I assume these are useless?

I haven't even seen that, & after Rabbit Ears, I bought the 10' Dish. It was Great, until Stations Scrambled their signals!

Not exactly useless.
Wanna mess with a buddy? Put this on his cable and as he randomly gains and looses channels, it will drive him and the tech nuts. Apparently the techs aren't smart enough to figure this out. After watching one stumble around our house scratching his head and calling an equally unhelpful tech line, I finally just told him to go up the pole and remove the old filters to see if that would work.

And we pay these guys for this service ....
