Whenever someone broadcasts something on the airwaves, everyone has a right to recieve and use it. Period. This is why beer & pizza joints can advertise the Super Bowl. If it were illegal, they couldn't. (Of course you can be sued if you copy various Decoders, for unscrambling certain broadcasts, even though you have every right to record the scrambled version). This is even the case of such things as Radar Detectors which search for the microwave emmission of cop's radar guns. Some states outlawed radar detectors (notably Texas), but the laws were struck down in federal court for precicely the above reason. Steven (absolutely positive in his opinions) Maurer p.s. look up the definition of 'positive' in the fortune file.
