This is supposed to be blocked on the drops to homes. It is likely the splitter on your drop is defective, call the cable trouble line, they will want to repair it.<br><b>References : </b><br> There is usually about 26 volts on the cable company trunk lines to power downstream amplifiers.

It's a very low voltage to power amplifiers along the cable. It's probably more than 9 volts, but 9 volts isn't a dangerous voltage, either. More than likely what you're feeling is a static charge that's building up in the cable as the wind blows across it.<br><b>References : </b><br> While there may be electricity in a coax from CATV, it’s not enough to hurt you.
