The offense of Theft of or Tampering with Multichannel Video or Information Services refers to which service?

• A. Multichannel Video or Information Services
• B. Internet Service Providers
• C. Telephone Services
• D. Cable Television Only

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that this offense targets theft of or tampering with a defined service known as Multichannel Video or Information Services (MVIS). MVIS is a broad category that covers providers delivering multiple channels of video or information to subscribers—think cable TV and other systems that send many channels or informational feeds to customers, not just a single channel. It’s broader than just traditional cable television and can include various multichannel delivery methods.

So, the question is asking which service the offense applies to, and the correct reference is the defined service itself—Multichannel Video or Information Services. Internet service providers or telephone services aren’t the focus unless they fall under MVIS under the statute, and calling it “Cable Television Only” narrows it to a subset of MVIS.
