Look closely at that ad.  You will see it has a Gresham Oregon address.
That outfit has been introuble with the law (or on the edge of it) for 
several years.  That little gizmo they are selling is ILLEGAL.  The local
Portland (Gresham is a suburb of Portland) FCC office has quite a file on
that outfit and that particular unit and has warned them many times about
selling and advertising that item. (I know, so why haven't they done anything
about it).  It is only a matter of time until the FCC has them good.  They
were also (previous owners) one of the big ones they got for selling MDS
decoders a few years ago.  The local cable company and HBO sued them and
about a dozen others and HBO won.  I would stay clear.
