Direct TV Descrambler: Decodes scrambled satellite TV signals.
|
Direct TV Descrambler
The Direct TV descrambler is designed to decode and unscramble
intentionally scrambled satellite signals so the subscriber can
receive their satellite TV programming.
Direct TV scramble the
satellite signals so that unauthorized persons cannot access the
programming.
The Direct TV descrambler unscrambles the video signals using the
following method:
The authorization center creates the master data stream. This data
stream contains a digitally derived key based upon the serial number
of each authorized decoder and a "Tier bit" for each channel it is
authorized to receive (determined by which programming package has
been paid for)
"SEED KEYS" in the receiver itself combine with the other half of the
key (transmitted by the authorization center) and create the master
key used to decode the audio and turn on the video descrambling
circuit
Once the Direct TV descrambler unscrambles the signal an access card
delivers the programming package the subscriber has paid for. The
card has a unique identification number, which is how Direct TV can
add or remove programming from each card.
DirecTV is a satellite
television provider in the United States whose braodcast signal can
be received in almost all of Central and North America.
In Canada it
is legal to descramble these coded signals due to an ill equipped
legilative law that concerned Satellite Providers not being
registered with the CRTC.
