This is apparently a system wide policy.  When I first bought the
laundromat 4+ years ago I contacted cable about turning it back on in the
mat (it is already wired) I told them all I wanted was the basic to clear
up the broadcast channels, they said that option was not available to
businesses and that I had to purchase the first THREE tiers of packages
for a cost of about $50 a month.   The rabbit ears I bought were about
$15.
