SkyGrabber is a software from the Russian company SkySoftware which accepts input from a digital satellite tuner card for hard drive recording.
It was used by Iraqi insurgents from the group Kata'ib Hezbollah to intercept MQ-1 Predator drone video feeds, which were not encrypted. The encryption for the feeds was removed for performance reasons.
