" Sounds illegal to me.

Why illegal?  Lots of these descramblers are legal -- the person pays a
fee which unlocks the descrambler for a set period of time, say 3 months
instead of 1 month.  Instead of renting them from the cable TV outfit,
they're sold direct.  What's often the case is that people pay higher
amounts of money than usual for them because they *think* they're illegal
and getting something for nothing, but they're actually paying for the 
service to the box just the same.
