But then again, Im not entirely sure which act youre referring to. It seems, Google hasnt heard of the Electronic Privacy Protection Act of 1. There is the Electronic Communication Privacy Act ECPA of 1. In this case, the data stored in the STB is INTENDED to be transmitted to the cable provider. Not intercepted. I suspect, however, that youre referring to the the Electronic Privacy Protection Act http thomas. H. R. 1. 12 from 2. In this case, it does say that no one has the right to intentionally receive electronic data from a device without the consent of the primary user. However, nowhere does it specify that the consent must be received in written form. In fact, it doesnt specify a required means of receiving that consent, and I imagine thats for the courts to determine. Any precedent I think cable providers are completely in the right, because all the data they are receiving can reasonably be assumed to have been sent with the users consent. After all, if you order a PPV and you are aware that its going to cost you i. Its not a reasonable conclusion, its a necessary one. Now, if they were monitoring how much of every channel you watch or at what times you watch each channel and they receive that data in a form that can be directly linked to you, then theyre at fault, because you cant reasonably assume the layman would know thats going on. The webcam example would no doubt be illegal too, but not because of its ability to monitor tampering so much as its ability to monitor everything else in its line of sight. Activation of comcast box. David Jackowski. New member. I subscribe to comcast and have digital cable on 1 tv and basic and ext basic on 3 others. Getting ALL of the premium channels for free. I had to exchange my box, and got a DCT2000. All of comcast boxs come setup to receive all channels. Pretend there was something built in that could monitor only tampering. Of course, with a reasonably small error. I mean, nothings perfect, so how can you REALLY monitor just for tampering It has to be a device that was clearly designed exclusively for that purpose. So long as the STB is labeled such that the user ought to know theyre not authorized to tamper with it, then tampering falls outside of whats considered normal use of the STB, and since the Act only protects users, well, guess whatOf course, we cant argue unless were talking about the same thing. So if youre referring to some other Act, let us know specifically what it is. Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 Gratis Downloaden Nederlands Dans here. Maybe link to the exact verbiage. And for all the moral cable employees out there, I dont understand why anyone ever attempts to call someone else immoral. By your moral code, yes, their method of cable procurement sorry, necessarily avoiding loaded verbiage. Only psychopaths are admittedly immoral. Everyone else is. Some see it as a petty theft. Stealing a few pennies from the rich guy. After all, they can benefit from that service a lot more than the already wealthy company can from their subscription fee, right Dont answer so fast theres no clear cut answer. Its justified to them in a utilitarian world. Of course, youll probably be quick to point out that legally, there is a clear cut answer, but I think most people try to tackle this from a moral perspective. Unless, theyre a bit over ambitious. Unfortunately for you cable people, from the individual perspective, morality trumps legality. Lets be honest, though. Any cable worker thats out there snipping peoples illegal hookups is not doing it on account of their moral beliefs. Theyre doing it for personal gain its their job, just as much as the people stealing cable are doing that for personal gain. Therefore, its no wonder that their morality is consistent with their actions. Its called cognitive dissonance. Would you feel the same way if you had never worked for the cable company Maybe, maybe not. I have the motorola 6412 HDDVR box with comcast. Is there any way to hack this box ANYTHING Just looking for something fun to do send the video. As to the possibility of whether cable can be hacked. Why are we arguing about this Of course it can. Anything can, and as far as Ive seen everyone agrees with that. The real question is, is it practical to do so In almost all areas, theres more to it than just fiddling with the STB or the cable line. Were talking investing in possibly expensive equipment and with very few exceptions, the answer seems to be no. Can we all agree on that Finally, all those flames and not just from Scooby Doo. If youre trying to convince someone of something, why call them an idiot Imagine if an attorney addressed the jury as idiots. Its just a primitive sort of Im better than you. Cmon, no doubt civilized people dont steal cable.
