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.
