From working for DTV for 8 months, this comes as no surprise. DTV loves to sue over even possesing "pirating" technology, even large corporation who employ smart card technology for Id/authentication purposes. I love it. They sent out something like 135,000 cease letter or be taken to court. You can call DTV and social engineer your way into free TV and equipment if you want to take the time. *shrug*
