In U.S. v. Playboy Entertainment, a 2000 decision, the Supreme Court held that:

a) adult programming may be banned from over-the-air television except late at night; b) cable systems may air scrambled adult programming during the day in spite of the “signal bleed” problem; c) adult programming is legal on over-the-air television at all hours of the day; d) cable systems may not air scrambled adult programming except late at night; e) this case had nothing to do with adult programming.
