[sci.electronics] A few questions about CATV descramblers

rlscon@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Robertt L Sillet) (09/22/90)

I guess the title says it all......

------

I've been reading this newsgroup off-and-on for a few years and have
read a great deal of information about the various types of scrambling
techniques and how to descramble.  I've also listened to ye ol' cable
monopoly tracking down illegal boxes and connections.  Why would
anyone risk arrest to see HBO for free?  Am I missing something, or is
it possible for a descrambler to _not_ be detected?

Thanks in advance

Robert
