In any case, I had a thought: There are tons of "Free to Air" Satellite receivers that have the capability to upload encryption keys.
There doesn't seem to be much of a crack-down on the equipment capable of decrypting the signal, regardless of whether there is a valid application of the capability within North America for the capability.
Would this imply that making the capability available in scanners [to hack the standards] would be an option for the manufacturers.
