    Signal Leakage A Reminder It is very important that you do not tamper with the cable wiring in your home once StarHub's signals are connected to your TV points. This is because you could cause signal leakage. Signal leakage is the unwanted radiation of cable signals into the atmosphere from a component in the cable network which is faulty or improperly installed.
