Thats the 1999 article i have already read and studied for about 2 days but it seams like its a pin in the but because it uses switches and the skill of and eyeball to sync the signal and if there is the slightest glitch you have to get off the couch and go to the box. and hit some switches and turn some puts to get it to re lock. I once owned a descrabler that all you did was plug it in and it worked. it had an ir sensor im assuming this was like a switch. and every time you turned the channel with the remote the box would lock on that channel. I got rid of it because although i could get the spice channel which was great. It actually knocked out the channels i was already paying for like HBO and CMAX...
Is this the only article on the net. I mean atleast twice a week i get the question " Oh your an electronic Tech for a living." "Can you build me one of those cable descramblers" and of course i say no because i dont want to assist in any illegal activities. But if the subject is so frequent and so many people want to know how to make them then why is the answer so hard to find on the internet...
I guess the answer is to study more about how they work. And finish learning how to program PICS and then design my own.
The question still remains of are there any more modern examples on the internet?
