    No as it's propitiatory encryption.

    Nope, and there's no way around it. UPC/NTL pair the card to the box to ensure people use only the supplied box. (Sky also pair the card to the box, but only check it for premium channels.)

    Its against the Terms and Conditions of your UPC digital service to use anything other than a cable company supplied decoder to view the service.

    In addition, we don't allow discussion of Dreamboxes in Cable/MMDS.
