there are digital descramblers though you should try to understand how these things work before you use it.

digital cable receivers all have their own "frequency" which is specific to EACH BOX and has to be registered with the cable company. so, it's just like your cable modem, it has a code on the bottom of it and each one is unique.

the descramblers work on ACTIVE subscriptions by intercepting and changing the packet of information that transmits that the "purchase" of a show or PPV event was successful. however, since a purchase request is first sent to the cable company, they can track how many were purchase and how many failed and if you fuck around too much they'll catch you...

i was thinking of picking one of these up a while back but it's just not worth it. digital cable makes it toooo easy to track down since each box is registered to a certain user.

you might as well try to talk to your cable guy and get the hookup from him.
