In our cable system SHOWTIME is mundane scrambled (you can get it by
replacing a jumper in your converter box).  PLAYBOY has some more
complicated method (all I get is white and black marks on the screen
and a bleedle noise in the audio) which probably requires some more
complicated decoder.  HBO seems to be patched in out in this little
box where the cable is distributed to our apartment building.  The
installer opened it up twiddled the wires inside the distribution
panel, I wasn't watching too closely.
