This is the latest version of my CableCrypt Decoder (ccd). This
program will decode PAL TV channels with scrambled sync, which
is the case for "CableCrypt" encrypted channels but it also works
with "MovieHouse". It detects H/V SYNC and fixes polarity of the
incoming signal.

There's still a lot to be done, like Bt848/Bt829 support and
digital audio decryption (Canal +).


!! WARNING NOTE !!

This program is intended for educational and research use only.
It might not be legal to decode and view an encrypted channel.
All use of this program is at your own risk!!
