Never mind if it is a violation but I have no money to buy an FF card. Get it? And mostly legal and illegal is defined by whether you actually commercialize something and make money out of it. Youtube has so many bootleg videso but NP since nobody makes money out of it. So for me to view pay channels with a budget card, what do I do? Can I get a generic USB CI card? So that I place a CAM which houses a smart card to decrypt channels? I hold my conscience above law. :-) Don't worry about legalities any further. :-) regards, Girish -- Duty for duty's sake without hope for reward or fear of punishment
