What is a Satellite Television Descrambler?
Most satellite television is encrypted using conditional access systems such as:
- DigiCipher II
- VideoCipher II RS
- Nagravision
- VideoGuard
- Irdeto
- Mediaguard
- Viaccess
- Conex
To watch these encrypted television channels, you need a box which can decrypt them. This box is sometimes referred to as a satellite television descrambler.
Satellite Television Descramblers
Most satellite television descamblers are legal boxes which are provided by legitimate resellers. These descramblers require valid subscriptions from the satellite television broadcasters.
A few people sell "hacked" satellite television descramblers which are designed to provide satellite television service without paying a subscription fee. These hacked systems typically work for a few months until the satellite television broadcaster figures out how to shut them down.
