as of last night it was working fine, but I have Time Warner Cable - not Cablevision. Doesn't your cable box go up to around channel 125? If not, you'll have to get one that does. This is the box I essentially have now - mine is an older model though) and I've had it for over 5 years - had to reset/unplug it once. The site I bought it from seems to have moved on, but there are loads of places that you can get it from. Just make sure that they will sell to NY if you plan on buying one.

I'm considering getting a dish when we move, and I looked into this also - it seems like it's a lot of work, and you really have to know the right people (which I don't). You either have to have the card swiped by someone every time it's disabled, or you have to get emulation software/hardware and a spare PC to do it yourself (at least that's the impression I got). If it's gotten easier to do, I'd love to know about it :-D
edit : Sorry TW, make sure they will sell to NJ (I thought you were in NYC). Just make sure to read the fine print about warranty terms - my box came with a 3 year deal, but in order to get it I had to fill out and return a form that wanted me to state the name, address and phone # of my cable co. which I didn't do so if my box died, I was fucked. Luckily it's still going strong), and I would recommend ordering over the phone or via a paypal transfer (for privacy issues).
