• Answer:

  This is like asking "I just robbed a bank, is there any way to get away with it?" Of course you can get away with it, but there are risks to doing anything, and you shouldn't expect to get away cleanly. Thusly, if you are illegally descrambling cable (first of all kudos to you for bucking the system) you have no place to ***** that your theft isn't going smoothly. You're experiencing problems, but you're not paying for it. If you aren't illegally descrambling but instead chose to purchase your box so that you don't have to pay the "rental" fees associated with the box the cable company provides, you should check with the company to make certain your box is 100% compatible with their signal. It's not illegal to own your own box, so they should be able to give you that information.
