Ah! Vocabulary mixup - so you were talking about a "Cable-TV" type of
connection instead of 10base-2/5! Well, then indeed it is more
complicated than grabbing into the mothball box...

Does "decode all traffic" include the video part or just the IP packets?
Best ask the IP access provider as there are a number of different IP
access technologies in use, some using encryption (of varying quality).

Bye
