Need Free TV Unregistered guest | Could someone please give me any information on cable descrambler is it worth signing up for a year of basic cable for 29.99 thru Comcast then using a descrambler to get all the channels...Is there a catch to it? Anyone have any proven websites to get answers from..thanks |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Most cable comapanies use digital cable for their premium and pay perview channels and only anolog for the basic local and Network channels. All descrambler boxes are made to descramble anolog cable. I used to use one for the premimum and payper veiw till my company swithced to digital about 7 years ago. My best suggestion is to subscribe to the digital package and use their digital box most likly a motorola or GI DCT 2000 or 2024 and use a high pass digital filter on the back to recive free payper view movies and events. The downside to these filters is that the box memory will have to be reset after 10-25 orders dependig on the box. Some boxes reset easy others are a pain and some I have seen can only be done by the cable company (bad news cause then you will get the bill). You can buy digital filters on ebay for under 15US inc shipping. Hope this helps Dublatime |

Dublatime Unregistered guest | Here is a site with about 9 ways to reset different digital cable boxes. [link removed] Late Dublatime |

Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | if u can get an analog descrambler cheap enough, it is well worth it.they work with no catch unless you unplug it and take it somewhere. then it may take awhile to get the channels back, but if it is comcast, then it will work. Also check and see if comcast where you are at offers a BASIC service. I mean just your locals. Here they do and it cost about 8 dollars a month. They come and put a box on with a lock that will only allow those locals. Just take it off, hook yours up and really get over on them. I miss those days. it was really bulletproof. |

the beast Unregistered guest | dont beleive whitefolks he is dtv employee and a theif |
|
Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | Hey D!ckhead, how could I be a dtv employee and a Thief(spelled correctly) loser.I've BSed alot but I am being for real. No more political BS.I grew tired of that. Anyway take my advice for what is worth. |
|
MR.WHITEFOLKS Unregistered guest | whats the big deal so what if im a employee of dtv at least i have a job. not like some of the losers here. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Whitefolks method will work well and is a cheaper alternative then mine, and if comcast in your area has not gone digital then it is the only way to go. |

girlpower Unregistered guest | I have a question were I live the cable has no box. cable vision is there a way I can get ppv channels. I am fed up with waiting on dtv to get a program. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | The only way a TV can recive digital feed is with a box to convert from digital feed to anolog for your TV. In your case your cable company must use only anolog signals, if that is so an anolog descrambler will do the trick, all channels open, you can either buy them all over the net or if you have the skills build one yourself it is not too bad. |
|
Smitty need some tv Unregistered guest | I have comcast ditigal cable, I have seen some sites advertising a ditigal filter that is just screw in the back of the box. This this recommended and does anyone know of any reliable web sites to gather information,,and was is the chance that if it gets marry to the box I cant reset and will pay for it |
|
Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | The second post here was not mine. I know about analog and not digital cable. I am just trying to give you some alternatives. |
|
Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | Girlpower, your cable provider "should" offer some PPV programming, as well as some movie channels. If they do then they will offer boxes. I am not saying you are wrong but to my knowledge all cable providers offer premium channels. They don't make money otherwise. Check again. Cheer up, if Comcast can be descrambled, a multimillion dollar company, then your one horse cable provider can too. Where I live, Comcast required a Scientific Atlanta box that I had modified for Testing. You can find the boxes, just look around. But remember, like Dublatime says, analog will be dead soon. But who knows when? |

interboot Unregistered guest | great! i just stumble into this place. i have been looking all over everywhere for infomation. hopefully some of you can shed some light for me on digital cable descrambler box. ebay has these general instrument /motorola dct2244 boxes suppose to descramble digital channels. a friend bought one. indeed it did work with most of the channels except for ppv and adult stuffs. the thing is he doesn't even subscribe to the digital service. he only has the regular cable tv and broadband internet. for what i undestand you have to subscribe digital before they can stream the signal to your house. but i could be wrong on that part ? (fyi, i am a dtv hu refugee, getting real desperate). my question is, i heard these digital boxes do phone home. is it true? say, if i don't order ppv or any of the adult stuffs, just do whatever i have when i turn on the tv/box. does it still phone home? if it still phones home even without the ppv order, then wouldn't that be unsafe to use these boxes? i mean it is like telling dave & charlie my address. right? and why ebay bids are going for $100.00+ if it is danergours? someone mentioned (but cannot be sure) that some of these older boxes do not have bi-directional feed capabilty. true? i am thinking of getting the same one my friend got cuz i know it works ( i got scam by the 'stupid bullet' earlier). please school me on these boxes. thx. |
|
Jane Unregistered guest | I have a General Instuments analug box and have used a filter. Every now and then I get these messages that the cable has disconnected and I have to bring the box in to get it reset. I am going to upgrade to digital. I need to clear the box so it resets. Do I just leave it unplugged for a 48 hours? |
|
Ripped Unregistered guest | HI, I just happened upon this site. Looks like some good info here too! Can someone clarify for me one thing? If I get digital service from Comcast (I have basic analog now) and I get a filter for it, I will get PPV and other preminum channels, or will I just get PPV? If only PPV I guess I will have to pay for preminum channels? Many THANKS! |
|
steelerfan Unregistered guest | heres my 2 cents worth. i have basic cable(comcast) no box, just a cable to the tv. i had no use for a box since i was testing DTV. like everyone else i grew impatient. bought a box off of e-bay that was supposed to be compatable to comcast. plugged it in and, nothing. talked to a few techs in the area and they said for it to work comcast has to send a signal down. well, when i called them up they said they wont send the signal down. they only do it for the boxes they rent out. i also purchased one of those filters and it also doesn't work. i guess im screwed, unless someone has a answer for me. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Ripped The filter only will alow you to order ppv movies and events thru your box depending on the provider you can order preminum channels if you can order it thru your box. The filter does not descrable anything your box does the descrabling the filter only prevents your box from telling the cable company that it is descrabling the channel for you. Steelerfan - comcast are flackers like that, cause they want you to use their box. Your box is usless till they activate it thru the feed. The filter will work once you get digital cable. (see above explaination) |
|
Smitty need some tv Unregistered guest | For ditigal cable for comcast you get the ditigal filter does it make channel wide open like hu card besides ppv channels or you have to order premium channels as well,,if i have ditigal cable is there a way to get all premium channels wide open and order ppv like activation..thanks for your time dublatime and mr whitefolks,,just explain exactly what needs to be done,,to get premium wide open through ditigal and any websites that I can read into it..thanks |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | The only way to get wide open channels with comcast is with a digital descabling box, (personally I have never seen on in use) they might exist but extermly hard to find. Your alternative is a High pass filter, this is similar to a ppv wiper on D*V. With a digital filter you can order PPV without the cable company knowing about it, you just have to wipe your purchases every month or so. Their is a link in one of my above post that has a few ways to wipe your dct ppv memory. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | I should not have said comcast, don't know if their premium and ppv are all digital my provider is. If comcast in your area is only anolog then anolog descrablers are avilible to give you wide open programing. |
|
steelerfan Unregistered guest | thanks for all the info, i have found a site thats claims if you get comcast, and dont have a box, they said to get comcast to come out and install their box and pay for basic. then purchse there box and replace the box you just purchased with the box you got from comcast. the upside is they have a phone number and a 90 day return. one comcast tech told me there is a way but you need to find a tech that is willing to make a few extra bucks on the side. comcast in my area is all digital. hopefully when the swap is made from mine to theirs everything the offer will come in.its around $150.00. undecided though???? |
|
Anonymous | I have Cablevision and they use the Jarrad Analog Boxes CFT2200. I am looking to reset the box. I have used a Filter that set the box to receive the stations but now I want to clear it out so that I can get digital and return the box. I have left it unplugged for 24 hours but it still gets the pay stations. How do I get it to reset? |
|
Anonymous | leve it unplugged for 31 days. that is the way i do the s.a. boxs |
|
Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | Steelerfan, maybe it is different where you live, but here, i had the same setup as you. Just a cable from the wall, NO box. A friend of mine had an extra Scientific Atlanta box that he gave to me. A friend of his Modded it for 50 bucks. I don't know what he did exactly but im thinking he just soldered a chip of some kind in it. When i got it back plugged it in i had all the movie channels analog had to offer and it took about one hour for the PPV to burn in. Like i said if you take the box somewhere else in comcasts network it will take a while to get the PPV back but they will come. Maybe you bought the wrong box or maybe comcast is a little more complex where you live. However my box(which i sold because i moved out of the comcast coverage area) still works cause i know the guy i sold it to. I've never heard of sending the signal down. Where i live the cable to the tv must send every channel wide open only to be opened,blocked or scrambled by a box.Without a box you receive only basic. Anyway good luck and keep searching it is worth it. |
|
isp Unregistered guest | I got the Comcast basic service (about $7) plus a digital box yesterday. I was quite surprised to see that all my analog and digital channels were wide open (about 300). Do you know if they will remotely program my box to receive only what I've paid for or I can continue receiving all of them? Right now I keep the box unplugged so they cannot access it. Any thoughts? |
|
New member Username: BrickheadPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-04 | I just got digital from Comcast the box is Motorola DCT 2224 They said it is an addressable box. Can you use a filter on an addressable box and not get charged for PPV? Also this box has a slot in the back for TV Pass card, Can I get a card to use? I had the hu card and programer before. New to this digital system. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Isp - Since Comcast gave you no box and they belive you have the basic pakage they will not expect feedback from your line that the digital box would send. Your lucky if the box is opening up all the channel, but if your going to hook it up comcast will Know you are using something that is not supposed to be their. Put a filter on the back of the box so it can't send or recive any signals essentially making it act like you have no box, which is what you want. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | G-bitting - an addressable box is a box with addressable memory meaning that the box can process things faster cause it does not have to proforme the fuction it is required to get an answer it needs it simply recall a memory location where the answer is. Example when you hear 3*4 a person thinks the answer is 12 from memory they don't calculate 3+3+3+3=12. So yes you can use a filter, the only problem with filters is that eventually the cable company will know you are using one and want to send a tech down to fix the problem because your box will not respond to their signals which it is supposed to do. So to remain completly covert you must clear the memory and take the filter off for awhile a few times a week. |
|
New member Username: BrickheadPost Number: 2 Registered: Jul-04 | Ok Dublatime But I just read the clearing the filters It says never take the filter off. Also I am only going to have this box for three months. I have a diff Motorola box for use with Adelphia. Comcast said it will not work on their cable system I have not tried to hook up yet. |
|
New member Username: BrickheadPost Number: 3 Registered: Jul-04 | If I just have Basic service for Comcast which descrambler box will work in Florida? And will it work with digital? I have five tvs only one hooked up to digital box. |
|
isp Unregistered guest | Dublatime - comcast gave me the cable box and it opens all the chanels. I haven't done anything to it. So I'm wondering wether they can send a signal to program it to release only the channels that I've subscibed for ... what do you all think ... |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | I understand they don't want you take the filter off cause if the mem is not totaly cleared then you will get charged for your purchases. As I said before by keeping it on all the time your box will stop communicating with the cable company and they might want to know why. I would just leave it on if they call you for a service check, clear and take it off. If not, sweet. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | isp - That is very weird, when they gave the box did you ask the teck for the hook ups. It might be comcast giving a couple days of free premium tv as a sample to get you hooked. Cause other then that I can not see why comcast would give you wide open channels without charging. They can change your programing but if the box is hard wired all open then you will still recive all channels. No matter what you sub package is. Wait till you recive a bill to see what is being charged if you get charged for the preium then you know it is the cable company, but if you get charged basic then you know it is the box, and that is a wonderful thing. |
|
steelerfan Unregistered guest | the company that i might buy my box from sya that it will get all channels wide open because its non-addresable. they said it won't even need the filter for the ppv. i hate to keep puttting $$$ out if it dont work. |
|
frankthetank Unregistered guest | I thought I would give my 2 cents seeing that I have a digital box in canada and recently purchased a filter for it.. First of all I attached the filter a few days after installing the digital box (that way it doesnt look suspicious) after installing the filter I ordered a movie and a few days later ordered another movie. After this I followed the directions to clear my box and it worked like a charm (I cleared my box with the filter on it so the cable company would not recieve a signal from my box) so after resetting (clearing the memory of the box) after this I kept the filter off my box so the cable company could find out if I had ordered ppv. I waited a few days and then called my cable company and told them that my little brother may have ordered some ppv's but I wasnt sure so I just asked him if he could clarify whether or not ppv's had been purchased and he said NO PPV'S HAD BEEN PURCHASED. Since then I have not ordered a movie yet and have left my filter off while I am not ordering ppv's and then when I feel like ordering ppv's I just attached it (it takes less then a second) watch the movie and then do a simple reset that takes less then 5 minutes. It is better to take simple precautions just so you dont get hit with a huge bill at the end of the month. Hope this helps out. |
|
Anonymous | Quick question, all-- I am interested in receiving premium channels -- like HBO, Showtime, and others -- and not necessarily the PPV. Comcast in my area has such channels on digital cable, but not on analog. I want to buy my own digital cable box. How can I get it to receive premium channels? |
|
New member Username: FrankthetankPost Number: 2 Registered: Jul-04 | As far as I know if your on digital cable you cant recieve the premium channels for free, if they were analog then you could get a cable descrambler box which is a seperate box entirely, I had one of those about 5 years ago but most if not all cable compaies are using digital now... |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Most cable companies ping your box three times a month to see if they are responding. You can phone and ask what days of the month they do it, public info. So just reset and, take it off for thoes days and you will be fine. Good input Frank, what dct are you using? |
|
bungnati Unregistered guest | isp; they scammed you they gave you digital cable service for 30 bucks a month they did it to me to you are gonna get charge for the box rental and the dtv service at the end of the month |
|
New member Username: FrankthetankPost Number: 3 Registered: Jul-04 | dublatime- I'm using a Scientific Atlanta box, the basic reset works for my box...is that what you meant by dct? |

dazagthoth666 Unregistered guest | I just signed up for basic cable service that is analog through Comcast here in Colorado for $13 mth. It is just the local channels and some others. They also offer digital service but I didn't want that. Here is the thing. They dont give out cable boxes for basic and standard analog service. Instead they hook the cable up straight to the tv. Now if I were to buy a cable descrambler, would it work with the basic service to recieve the standard channels? I dont want to be spending money on something that is not going to work. |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | yes it is, Thanks Frank. |
|
TeepingPom Unregistered guest | Has anyone heard of the Unicable U4000 boxes? A seller claims that these are digital descramblers, capable of receiving all channels on all digital systems. Here is a link to one sold on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39804&item=5708930074&rd= 1 Has anyone used these? Is it a scam, or a genuinely new technology? I tried googling around for information but was unable to find any. |
|
TeepingPom Unregistered guest | And one more question. SCENARIO I. Joe Couchpotato moves into a new apartment and orders only the cable modem internet service from Comcast. Joe also buys a splitter and puts it on the line just before the cable modem. The other cable from the splitter goes to a digital cable box (a Motorola DCT2224) that Joe has from his old apartment. Joe also installs a high-gain filter on the digital cable box as to prevent it from talking to Comcast. Comcast is all-digital in Joe's area. Can Joe watch premium channels like HBO? SCENARIO II. Same setup, except the non-internet end of the splitter goes directly to the back of the cable-ready TV. Can Joe watch analog cable channels (i.e. Comedy Central, CNN, MTV, and other non-premium channels)? SCENARIO III. Same setup, except Joe has 3 TVs instead of one. Should Joe (1) install a 2-way splitter to get his Internet signal, followed by a 3-way splitter on the TV side or (2) simply install a 4-way splitter? GENERAL QUESTIONS 1. In all of the above scenarios, what should Joe look for before he buys the splitter(s)? 2. Does Joe also need to buy an amplifier, either for the Internet signal or for the TV signals? If so, what should he look for? |
|
Anonymous | I've received many advertisments on the U4000 in my email, and have been cautious about ordering it. After all, it's upwards of $400. So, I'd be interested in answers to your question as well. So, that's two of us. |
|
Anonymous | Well, I'm already paying for most of Comcasts premium channels, using two of their digital boxes. But I would like to just add the service to a third TV. Is there somewhere to just buy a digital box so I don't have to pay the monthly charges for another damn box? |
|
TeepingPom Unregistered guest | The guy selling them on eBay is offering them for $225 direct. If this is the real deal, the price doesn't seem bad at all. Some guy left him good feedback on it, but it was only one and I'd rather hear from someone who knows these things. |
|
Anonymous | I'm a bit leary of eBay, too many shady characters. $225 ain't bad, but you don't know what you are getting. There's just got to be another way. |

steelerfan Unregistered guest | TeepingPom, i purchased one of those units on ebay, a motorola that was supposed to be compatable with my comcast here in s.fl., only to find out that comcast has to send a signal down to address it. after some phone calls to them they said NO WAY. now im stuck with a motorola DCT2244 and i have no use for it. the ebay ad said "sold as is no refunds no returns". im going to post a site that says the unit is non-addressable[whatever that means] they also have a phone number and 90day money back guarntee. also they said all channells that they offer in my area will be open. another scam? who knows. but getting desperate here |
|
steelerfan Unregistered guest | TeepingPom, anybody else who might have a interest. ive been thinking about trying one of these. i have serious doubts if dave will ever be back up for testing |
|
Dublatime Unregistered guest | Peeping Tom - you can not get cable TV from the internet lines well at least not from my company but comcast maybe but not likely. When you order just internet the the TV signals are filtered out right from the box in the neighbour hood. You need a special tool for the box, we used one and gave our entire block full anolog cable pack cause you just take all the filters off. So in short all your senerios are no go. late |

New member Username: Rooterdog1Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-04 | ok, so there are no digital descramblers. Cool. I was looking at those unicable 4000 things on ebay before I came here. So, what I want is a descrambler that just gives me a step up from basic cable. So I can get the history channel (channel 37 in my area). I don't care so much about show time, hbo and stuff but that would be cool too. Boxing would be good, the title fights. I have basic, cheap cable. channels 1 - 32 or something like that. I would like to get channels 1 - 71 or so. Can anyone send me a link to a descrambler on ebay that will work for this, an old school proven one? Thanks. |

Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | The guy that did it is no longer around. However you should be able to find out what it was that he did on the internet somewhere. I am pretty sure all he did was solder something inside the box. I will try and find a site for you to go to. |

Mr. Whitefolks Unregistered guest | Laziboy, I'm not sure because i'm not a "techy" but try looking at this link |

CableGuy Unregistered guest | OK, here is the scoop from a CATV Engineer, First All programs and services offered by a cable company are coming down the pipe, think of it as a water system, and yes now the pipe flows both ways, so anythin you put in that path can cause questions on the other end. As for the questions regarding cable modem service, if you have a cable modem yes you allready have basic service, just split it off to as many tv's as you need. to date there are no 100% digital cable systems in the US, it is impossible, and illegal, since the must carry act, states all locals have to be carried and all locals are not digital. now as far as the high pass filter yes it will work, but you have to be very very careful, if they ping your box with no response they will be knocking at your door and remember they own that equipment and have the right to get a warrant to come in and get it, and it can and has been done. CATV is much much different than dave, since there is 2 way comunications, with dave we just disconected the phone line to cut this out, CATV uses the same pipe, the return is operated on the low end of the bandwith along with the cable modem service so keep in mind that if the filter is between your modem and the street it will cut out that service also. Just wanted to pass along some notes, but just be very carefull, i am suffering from p4 frustration with most of you, and have always had a cable modem with service split to my tv's for back up, that to me is best since there is nothing added to the data stream for them to pick up, if you add anything that the cable company did not give you they can detect it.!! And yes they do have to tell you when they ping the system, but they do change the times often in mid stream, so you would have to call everyday. |

New member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 8 Registered: Jul-04 | sellers note off ebay on the celebrity u4000 n Jul-27-04 at 20:31:03 PDT, seller added the following information: This item was purchased new off ebay. When i got it i had no need to use it so i am selling it and all i know about it is whats in the booklet. Thank You. now really if the unit worked why would this buyer/now seller want to dump it,if he had no need to use it then why did he buy it in the first place,lol. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39804&item=5712045392&rd= 1 |

Anonymous | wally cleaver, what is all this junk that you are writing. you are too smart to make typos, so come out of your shell and tell the whole world that U4000 works. either that or you are a kid who is trying to find more infos about the U4000 but doesn't know how to ask for it. I'll give a few Q's and A's on how to ask an ebuyer about Digital cable box descramblers. * Does the box need to be activated? * Does the cable co. needs to know about the box? * Do i need a card? * do i connect the box to a phone line? * Can i reprogram the box from an internet site? the Q's can go on for as long as you want. but make sure you get A's for your questions, if the seller doesn't give you the correct and wright answer then don't buy. Salam Pease shaloom |

Anonymous | One more thing. this forum is not about you wally cleaver spawned@att.net, it's about digital cable box descrambler, so ask Q's or give A's OR stop writing negative comments.... |

Dublatime Unregistered guest | Anny - For Informational purposes only an Individual would want to try Method 1 on the site I posted in my second post on this thread. An Individual may also want to check how many ppv they have at different points in time, they may do this by powering up the unit (5 sec) then pressing power followed by setup and look in the first menu. late |

Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 16 Registered: Jul-04 | you can not use a anolog box box as a digital descrambler,same premise if you buy a dct_any model from ebay most are stolen or left over from previous users,in effect why would the catv companys turn it on for you,you are wasting your money.would you gas a stolen car if you was a gas station attendent and the thief wanted to gas up your car that was just stolen ,same with the catv industry.tv's with digital catv tuners are coming by the end of this year. http://www.dtvmax.com/main.htm im not going to post trash at least i leave reference sites,unlike ANONYMOUS the THORAZINE junkie. |

Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 17 Registered: Jul-04 | ANONYMOUS here is a url for the dct_5100 manual, |
