Cable descramblers

TD:
I purchased an RF-Link (brand) 5.8 gHz video transmitter. I  just hook it up to my satellite receiver, and to the TV I place on a table in sight of my spa. Its wireless, and works great. It also has an infrared remote extender, so I am able to change channels with the remote from outside. I didn't go with a wired option, since we sometimes put the TV farther away on the patio so we can watch football etc. when not in the spa. I bought the transmitter from Amazon.com, I think it was about $115. Also, with this option I can transmit video to anywhere on the property, even with cameras. Good luck!

Gomboman:
I have Comcast cable.  We pay $5/month for a HD DVR Cable Box.  It's the only way to go.

Brookenstein:
Gombo... what is your total bill though?  We had Comcast at our last house but switched to Dish when we moved about 16 months ago.  I recently looked into switching back to Comcast but I would go from spending $60mo to spending over $100 for about the same chanel line up.  I couldn't justify that expense.

Brewman:
It must vary by locale.  I have digital cable bundled with high speed internet.  I looked into the dish networks, and the initial pitch sounded good until we found out that all the free recievers they offer have a monthly fee for each TV beyond the first(we have several TV's in the house plus one HDTV), and the price of HDTV recievers was quite high.  Plus we'd loose the discount we are getting on our high speed internet hookup, so it all came out to be too close in price to bother switching.
