In Technology News, by the year 2000 consumers will be able to be cable
converters and descramblers at their local electronics store thanks to the
FCC. Cable descramblers and converters are used for viewing your local cable
service. Right now, most people rent this equipment from their local cable
supplier. Some companies such as Outback Electronic Systems sell this
equipment with a disclaimer that they may not use their products to defraud
their cable company. With a cable descrambler you can view all cable channels
without paying your local cable company.
