  12. I recently found this newsgroup, so if I am bothering people, please be
  13. patient.  A friend of mine's father just had his descrambler (8 years old)
  14. zapped by the cable company.

  16. How in the hell can they do this? I could understand on the new two-way
  17. systems, but on the old A/B one-way systems, how could they "zap" a system?
  18.  If they can do this, how could one defeat it?
