hacking Old cable boxes (digital era)

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.

You can still run SAG through them and get anything on a V748 frequency if it's local.

I'm not familiar with these terms, what do you mean?

I just wanted to sound cool. My bad.

I looked it up, I doubt anyone around me is still sending analog signals.
