Filters aren't really a thing anymore. That was back in the analog TV days. It's all encrypted digital these days. The broadcast channels in your area might be unencrypted but that's it.

The last time I had cable a shitload of it was encrypted and the broadcast channels and some other shit wasn't. You could get it with the digital tuner without the STB.

If everything is encrypted, though, there is no need for a filter OR to disconnect it at the tap.
