Hello all,

I am traveling by plane, was wondering if I can pack 2 stbs in my luggage?
There will only be factory files on them. Or with at least one.
I have searched the web and found no real answers.

Thanl you.

It's not illegal to have these boxes in your possession. It's illegal to use them to decode encrypted signals.

Having said that, you may wish to contact customs and ask them if its prohibited where you are going or you may have them confiscated.
