Hi: I know I can buy descrambler boxes already made, but I'm interrested in building my own. Anyone know where I can get plans for such a thing? If I were to buy a descrambler ready made, the one I'd need to buy is a Jerrold Tri-Bi.... Thanks, -franco Frank A.

As has been mentioned earlier in this group, some of the simpler systems (such as v/h sync suppresion video inversion, clipping and shifting aren't so bad) - I believe that the digital scrambling systems may be worse. Disclaimer: I have no non-theoretical knowledge of the subject. There Big Brother -- you happy? >>Frank A.
