Be careful about descrambler plans. Almost 100% the time, they don't work! They're just a ripoff, plain and simple. If you want a descrambler, then fine, do it right. Check out this list of WWW Descrambler Links: http://www.netengine.net/~master/descrambler/ You'll find lots of companies that sell all kinds of descramblers for every cable system. If you're deturmined to build something yourself, then check into getting a "test chip" that is specifically designed to put your cable box into test mode. If you're not very handy with a soldering iron, or you haven't had the experience of lifting a trace off of a pc board because you left the iron on too long, then ask about "super cubes" or "combination units." If money is no object, then ask about "cable boxes." If you know of a cable descrambler site that's not listed, let me know about it.
