Method and apparatus for interdicting cable television channels

Apparatus for interdicting television channels of a cable television system comprising:

• a plurality of oscillators for jamming audio portions of television channels to be interdicted and
• a plurality of different oscillators for jamming video portions of the television channels to be interdicted, said plurality of video oscillators being greater in number than said plurality of audio oscillators, such that
• a jamming frequency of an audio jamming oscillator dwells on an audio portion of a television channel to be interdicted more than ten times longer than a jammming frequency of a video jamming oscillator dwells on a video portion of the television channel to be interdicted.

• a plurality of different oscillators for jamming video portions of the television channels to be interdicted, said plurality of video oscillators being greater in number than said plurality of audio oscillators, such that
• a jamming frequency of a video jamming oscillator corresponding to the video portion of the television channel to be interdicted varies plus or minus ten kilohertz.

• a plurality of different oscillators for jamming video portions of the television channels to be interdicted, said plurality of video oscillators being greater in number than said plurality of audio oscillators, such that
• a frequency of at least one audio carrier jamming signal is offset from a frequency of an associated video carrier jamming signal by greater than 4 and less than 4.425 MHz.
