[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 2477, member: 175057"] This is a strange one TB, between the box and the LNB there are only two elements that can be changed/controlled by basic equipment. They are, polarisation H & V, which is the 14/18v switch and Upper and lower band, which is the 22Khz tone switch. Aside from them, the signal would need to be QPSK demodulated and the MPEG stream decoded, before any thing could be done to override the videoguard encryption. Just can't see how any device that contained anything less than the above facilities could work, you would basically be buildig the best part of the receiver to strip out the encryption data. I'm sure somebody more technically adept than myself will be able to explain in a more precise manner how the box would need to operate. I'm not saying that it's impossible for any hardware hack, just that I don't believe the solution would be cheap. Rolf [/QUOTE]
