Black boxes for cable - What the f' happened?

[HedCold]

at my college my old black box that didn't work on staten island anymore worked in newark. it was sweet, but now they have it setup at school where we don't need a cable box to get cable channels, so its useless this year

lz where did you get the stuff to program the dtv cards? i have a football card that was shot but i heard you can get something called a condom for it where it still lets it work and you program it that way
