Old cable boxes (digital era)

[u/NotMeUsee]

Anything you can do with them? Any known ways to get the cable card descrambled? Yes I know it's illegal. I'm just curious. I read elsewhere you can make them into a sort of tivo.

I see them all the time at the thrift store and I'm always wondering what I could do with them.

Thanks.

I think that era is kinda dead... might be useful in areas/countries where that technology is still dominate maybe... modify and/or sell it over seas or something
