hmm... im no expert, but if someone knows your home phone number and or password they may be able to call your cable company and order pay per view-movies and or events such as boxing or major concerts but im not sure it would do them much good unless they are able to also break in and watch them in your home. We have DirecTV at home and we can order either on the phone (all we have to verify is the home phone number and my name) online or on the tv. I suppose if someone wanted, they could call in and order stuff but im not sure what that would benefit them.
