That reminds me of the early 90's? when I had a 10ft fiberglass dish to watch all the tv channels for free. (including the skin channels
)
They started scrambling them and 'the guy' would stop out with a 'fixed chip' to open up the channels for $50 each time. I think he was out a half dozen times in a couple years to my place to get my channels back. Finally, they figured out a scrambling method that 'the guy' couldn't defeat.
Then Direct and Dish came along.
