Ya descrambler rock, with cable tv you only have to pay for the base configuration, and nothing with sat... All Chan and PPV !!!
Sometime you need to update it cause the company changes thier signals every 1-2 months.
They also try to catch you by making you call some phone number... They say like "You got a problem with that plz call our tech support number .... Give them your name, adress, phone number and the police will arrive soon. Be prepare to pay huge and go in jail cause you stole our TV signals. Thx..." Never call them ... and never plug your descramber in the phone plug. Best advice I can give.
Ah and they got others methods to track you down like finding some highfrequency signals that your descramber emit but there is nothing you can do for that....
