No CATV company shall charge or in any way penalize a subscriber for the possession or use of a video cassette recorder, video disc, computer or other auxiliary equipment provided by the subscriber and connected by the subscriber, in series, to a television receiver or monitor through which cable service is received. This section shall not be applicable if the company provides additional service or equipment to the subscriber as a result of the connection by the subscriber; or if the connection by the subscriber qualifies as the provision of cable service by the company and the State regulation of the rates for that provision of cable service is prohibited under the “Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984,” Pub.L. 98-549 (47 U.S.C. § 521 et seq.) or any other federal law, rule, regulation or order concerning cable television. This section shall not be construed as prohibiting a CATV company from waiving monthly charges should an external splitting device be provided by the CATV company without a converter.
