Please note, the units we sell are not cable descramblers.
They are cable converters. They can be modified into being cable
descramblers by the end user if he/she wishes to install an Avenger
MX Video Board. We do not sell or stock Avenger MX Video Boards
nor do we preinstall them into our cable converters. If you wish
to purchase an Avenger MX Video Board, please try searching Yahoo
or Ebay. Our warranty does not
cover the installation of the Avenger MX Video Board into our
units and/or the attempted operation of our units with an Avenger
MX Video Board installed.
The legal information and opinions found here are given without
representation as to accuracy and may be completely wrong. If
you buy a descrambler and intend to hook it up to your cable system,
you are responsible for notifying your cable company of your intention
to own and operate your own equipment, and you must pay for all
programming that the descrambler is capable of receiving. If you're
concerned about the legality of using a descrambler or owning
your own cable equipment, ask a lawyer or your cable provider.
The use of descramblers for the unauthorized reception of cable
programming is against the law. However, cable consumers have
the right, under US Federal Law, to own and operate their own
equipment, including descramblers.
US Federal Law: The cable cunsumer has the right, under US Federal
Law, to own their own equipment.
See FCC site: http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/News_Releases/nrcb4009.txt
In this text you will find that it says: "Cable operators
may not prevent customers from using their own equipment if such
equipment is technically compatible with the cable system."
Federal and State laws provide civil and criminal penalties for
anyone that receives cable service without paying for it. We will
not aid anyone in the theft of cable TV services. Anyone implying
that they have an intent to steal cable services will be denied
assistance. By purchasing any cable TV equipment, the customer
agrees to comply with all laws (State and Federal) regarding the
reception of cable TV.
