The earlier questions peeked my interest because no one mentions a network tap(not talking about a cable splitter) which could be covertly installed on the cable line.
From a electronics block diagram you would need a tuner to tune to the channel that the data is being sent on. This would be an inline device. Then connected to the tuners output you would need a demodulator which would go to the MAC. You would also need a modulator connected to the output of the tuner to send the signal back down the line. The output of the mac could be sent to a network card. However, the purpose of a network tap is anonymity so you would need some way to insure that your device was not detected by the cable company, or degrade the targets signal, picture, or data.

I'm sure this can be done.
