He's asking $200, which includes:
*  unit w/ keyboard and original Wagner manual

If interested, PM me for the details!

Have pics of the apparatus? (videocipher? manual?)

BTW, isn't that illegal?

Yeah, it is. 100%. Plus its a violation of TWC's terms of use.

I'm willing to barter. I'll send an autographed picture of myself in exchange for the STAR. Deal?

Me too... though I could always steal the one from my Comcast headend. It's only about two miles away.

I've put a ticket in with the support desk to locate the owner of the unit, and get it shipped back.

Will he be fined?

I've never dealt with this type of thing, so I have no clue.

I could care less about the STAR, its the IRD that concerns me. Thats all TWC is problaly concerned about as well. That IRD can access more than TWC, it can access any encrypted signal off of the AMC satellites.

Yeah well it shouldn't be any concern to any of us IMHO. None of us are true employees of TWC. You come the closest, but really your only an employee at will. IOW, your only employed by them when they need you. Your not a true full time employee of TWC. IMHO its crossing the line for any of us to report this, as none of us are truly in a position to make it our business.
