is using a black box illegal?

[kalster]

for cable that is

 

[nodoubts2k]

I hope not. It probably is though

Of course it's illegal. Using any device to get channels that you are not legally paying for is illegal.

Now, please allow me to step off of my soap box.

Enjoy !!

of course not, everyone uses it.

There for it must be legal

owning no, using on a your own private broadcast no, using on a cable company's broadcast very.

Most of these black boxes come from ex military guys designs.

My brother took sat-com in the Air Force....they basically give you a cable and satellite feed, you get graded on how many channels you could decode/descramble from them....he said some of the guys were selling the plans and got caught....it's a big time offense in the military.

From what I know.. anyone's allowed to use their own cable box to view cable, but watching channels that you don't pay for is not.

I heard some people get caught.. but I have no clue how they can catch u.
