I recently found this newsgroup, so if I am bothering people, please be
patient.  A friend of mine's father just had his descrambler (8 years old)
zapped by the cable company.

How in the hell can they do this? I could understand on the new two-way
systems, but on the old A/B one-way systems, how could they "zap" a system?
 If they can do this, how could one defeat it?
