My local company, Cable One, tells me that they are resticted by the FCC 
from interferring with or otherwise altering our broadcast signal without 
our prior approval in writing.
This came about when changing equipment on our second digital program stream 
and we asked the cable company to insert EAS tests on our behalf for a short 
period.
Not to say that cable compression schemes are not altering to content.
