Way back when HBO was broadcast in the clear, a few of us conjured up a reciever that took the HF HBO signal and mixed it with a local oscillator so that the resulting IF was then in the 2-13 channel band.

HBO managed to sniff out these LOs by driving thru neighborhoods and plopping a Cease & Desist order on the guys that were using them.

That is raw of them! I think recent laws prohibit companies from doing that as long as you don't resell. After all, those are public airwaves.

If you had the hindsight when you started you could have built your device in a tempest proof box.

You were pretty clever.
