What I think is funny is a radio scanner law that says that it is legal to listen to broadcasts, but it is illegal to tell anyone else what you heard! So it's hard to tell what the laws are relating to this... |

Both signals are legal to receive but not legal to use without express permission. If it's an encrypted broadcast, such as Satellite TV, and you break the encryption, yes, illegal. Otherwise, it's called "Free To Air" or FTA. Next analogy please.... |
