They have no distinct data line like some cable decoders as the addressing & control data is embedded in the signal. If you manage to prevent the data getting to the cpu the box will time out and disable itself anyway. To 'chip' these boxes you'd need to extract the data, interpret it and substitute 'happy' commands for 'bad' ones within the video signal and on the correct line. Anyone know the data structure for these? (seems different to earlier models and maybe encrypted)
I guess I'm not exactly a workaholic though.
