     I heard a vicious rumor today that one of the
radio channels on one of the satellite`s offered a 
$10,000.00 reward to anyone who could break the new 
Cypher-2 scrambling now in use by HBO.
     Someone has evidentially collected the money
with his version using common Radio Schaack parts 
worth only $12.00.
     Has anyone else heard this rumor?  Has anyone
have any information on how this system actually
works?
