Cable descramblers

LtDan:
Anyone have experience with the aftermarket cable descramblers they sell on Ebay? I have the NHL Center Ice package but want to view it on my small tv I take out to the hot tub which means I need another digital cable box. I don't want to rent another from the cable company.

I don't know a lot about those, but can you add a splitter AFTER the cable box and run one wire to each tv?

We had an "Aftermarket" descrambler for years and it worked great.

Then the cable company switched to Digital cable and my older box wasn't compatable, and the new boxes i bought were lousy  for picture quality.  I returned mine.  This was about 4 years ago.  Perhaps the new, aftermarket  boxes for the digital signal have improved?

I would make sure the seller is reputable and will give you  100% refund if it doesen't work out for you.  There are so many differetn cable providers out there,  one box may not work that great with a certain provider.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same thing, but that is what we are going to do this weekend with our DISH, so that we can watch the shows that we DVR on our 2nd tv in the office, on our main HDTV in the living room.

Also, can you ebay the box?  Is it more/less than a descrambler?  My son lost our remote for the HD DISH and they wanted $50 to replace it.  I got one from Ebay for $10.

Oh yea.  My wife and I upgraded to this system 2 weeks ago.  One box runs 2 tvs.  Good thinking brook.
