I subscribe to a couple of premium cable channels that require a descrambler.
The descrambler maps everything to channel 3.  If I had an "inline"
descrambler, it would generally be much handier for me; I could tape one
premium channel while watching another, etc.

Does anyone offer this?  Is there some technical reason why it's not feasible?

By the way: I'm not interested in ripping off the cable company, just in
more effective use of my equipment.  Thanks in advance for any insight.
