Does anyone know any reliable sites. This site says dont remove,,wheres i read from here...you should remove it once in a while and only insert when want to use it...Thanks alot... |
Superman Unregistered guest | Hi again all, These are "lockout busters". They claim to eliminate the need to reset when using hi-pass filters by mimmicing the communicating with the cable company. Their warranty is all messed up, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of these and if anyone has any experience. Thankx |
dublatime Unregistered guest | Thanks wally, I spent some time yesterday trying to figure out all the chips. |

Redb3ard Unregistered guest | Seems you guys found my old DCT2000 page. First off, emailing me with "how can i hack my dct?" questions annoy me. Second, they annoy me doubly if you misspell one syllable words. That said: I still have an interest in seeing these things broken. But, I haven't had alot of time in my life to experiment. Anyone that hasn't bought a BDM cable, needs one for serious experimentation. There was a guy on ebay selling homemade ones for less than $20. Second, if you've never had an interest in how a "computer chip" works, and you only want free tv, forget about it. I suppose you could spend $1000 hacking dishnet, but you guys never seem to understand you spend just as much as if you had subscribed. Third, I'm thinking that the right docsis cable modem, could be modified to eavesdrop or even spoof on the DCT's OOB signal. If you could do this, you could exploit any number of flaws that are likely existent. Asymetric crypto allows for scenarios where it could truly be unhackable... but if you start doing the back of the napkin calculations, they end up using more bandwidth rolling individual keys than sending PPV pr0n (lame vulgarity filter :P) and sports... the accountants don't like that. I doubt there are video keys in cleartext or anything, but cloning an existing sub seems possible, or even some playback attacks. Anyone with a proper background is welcome to contact me for collaboration. Thanks, Redbeard PS You need to peruse this unlinked page... |

dllfb Unregistered guest | Looking for someone who sells and/or installs fta receivers and cable descramblers in the Guelph Ontario area? |
adilson Unregistered guest | Universal Clearview SuperMax 2k4 Cable those anybody know if it really works also where can i buy one |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 82 Registered: Jul-04 | free to air recievers,copied from other site: FTA broadcasts are very narrow interest channels, meaning they are foreign language, religious and public service type channels for the most part. To take full advantage of an FTA system you need to have a tracking dish(moves from 1 satellite to another). If you go to lyngsat.com you can view all the channels available in North American, the FTA channels are designated by a DVB(and nothing else below it) or F(free), you need a 10ft dish for C-band (frequency 3xxx-4xxxGhz) and at least a 30" dish for Ku-band (11xxx-12xxxGhz), most FTA are Ku-band. Intelsat Americas 5 at 97.0°W has the most Ku DVB channels lyngsat.com then frequencies:America, this will list all satellites above equator in our hemisphere, then select a satellite and it will show available channels, some satellites are for South America and the signal won't be available in North America |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 83 Registered: Jul-04 | adilson google it,it works by being piggybacked to a digital reciever,it may still signal the catv company you have one and can show up on your digital box,seems pointless to me,if its polled. |

Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 85 Registered: Jul-04 | i like beaver,but jerry mathers aint my type lol.as far as the Clearview Matrix 2k4 it only gets 181 channels.they say its a digital hybrid,does that mean its analog and when coupled with a digital dct as an example it then is able to get digital,if thats the case then existing analog descramblers piggy backed to dcts may still work,just a good question to ask that 1-800 site?just thinking out loud. |

Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 89 Registered: Jul-04 | sorry for the multiple posts site problems |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 90 Registered: Jul-04 | Clearview Matrix 2k4 it is a analog unit,read the ad carefully.1-800 is very misleading advertising,even the free to air unit is misleading it is not capable of 2000 channels in itself on a fixed mounted direct tv or dish antenna,it does not open premium channels but is capable if you order dish or dtv thru the unit. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 91 Registered: Jul-04 | after reviewing 1-800 site i concluded they only sell analog boxes,read carefully,then on the top of the ad it says: >>Universal Main, TV Converters, & Decoders for Analog & Digital Cable Television Systems well of course that makes sense since digital cable systems also transmit in analog by law they have to.VERY MISLEADING ADVERTISING.no one sells working digital stbs,like i said before digital is not scrambled,so why would you buy a descrambler. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 92 Registered: Jul-04 | hey NAUT?HUH?Comcast basic digital cable WHAT THe hell is that?all you know about the unit is what you THINK you read,the question is can you comprehend what you read.the ad does not say the unit will recieve digital on its own with digital service,and it does not say it will recieve 999 channels,there aint that many programs dude. |
adilson Unregistered guest | Has anybody tries the ebay baoxes do they work? "Motorola Digital Cable Box Decoder" if not can somebody suggest a box i miss my spice network. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 93 Registered: Jul-04 | Motorola Digital Cable Box Decoder work if activated. |
Naut Unregistered guest | HEY WALLY?HUH?, all the info i got was from 1-800-descramblers.com, if its wrong, YOU'RE SMARTER THEN THEM, GIVE YOUR SELF A PAT IN THE BACK. |

adilson Unregistered guest | wally thanxs for the pic lol,also how can i get the box activated if i already have basic cable will the Motorola Digital work or those it need a signal from comcast. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 95 Registered: Jul-04 | naut ask them if its anolog the ad says it is,ask them if it will get 999 channels by itself.again no. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 96 Registered: Jul-04 | hey naut if ya dont like the pic post your own if you know how? |
Unregistered guest | Hey, can anyone share some secrets of Rogers Cable ? What brand of descrambler is effective and how much will it cost me? Thanks |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 97 Registered: Jul-04 | hey naut if ya dont like the pic post your own if you know how? |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 98 Registered: Jul-04 | so naut how did you talk to 1-800-descramblers.com did you call a 800 number?also what is pron? |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 99 Registered: Jul-04 | the only thing that could possibly make sense with any analog descrambler is to connect first then output to digital box input then out to tv,tune in a ppv channel then it could in theory anyway descramble that channel,reguardless of anolg box unit,now ig thats the case the catv can still shut you out of those channels,but i would bet it works someone try it if you are connected with aworking dct. |
Bronze Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 100 Registered: Jul-04 | now on to another way to get catv wirelessly,no cable service required,can be done with 2 common items.if anyone gets close on how they think it can be done then ill tell ya .CLUE,its very easy and takes about 10 minutes to set up. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 101 Registered: Jul-04 | if you try my above method do not place a order thru remote. |
JLA01 Unregistered guest | Well back at the beginning of this month I posted a msg stating that I had purchased a Unicable U4000 directly via email through an EBAY seller. Well the seller was not replying to me so I eventually filed a claim w/PAYPAL. Thank god I decided to purchase the PAYPAL money back guarantee. PAYPAL is going to reimburse me for the price I paid for the fraudulent Unicable product. To be honest, I did not even attempt to use the Unicable box. The instructions were very vague and stated that the product will work as a converter if you download the appropriate software online. Well it did not provide a site and the seller just told me to search google under EXOtv. It is all bullshit. If there is anyone out there considering purchasing one of these products, save your money and avoid the frustration. I even sent an email to an EBAY seller that was about to win a bid for the same product warning them against the purchase, but they did not respond. They will need to find out first hand. DO NOT PURCHASE THE UNICABLE U4000!!!! |
jacobson Unregistered guest | Hi i was wondering if this website was legit? anyone use this product and if so does it work well? |
New member Username: MrjinxNova Scotia, NS Canada Post Number: 2 Registered: Aug-04 | i heard it only works for so many ppv's and then the memory fills up and you can't order anymore until the box is flushed... to flush it you take the filter off and allow the ppv requests to hit your cable company... wait for the huge bill and start over again... haha in other words stay away... it only delays you being charged for the PPVs. that is what i hear anyway... apparently hooking youyr vcr between your cable box and tv has the same effect instead of buying a "filter"... |
Smitty need some tv Unregistered guest | Does the Digital Filters works for comcast or are they a scam,,,i GOT A MOTOROLA receiver..Anyone know any good sites....Comcast sucks I miss my Direct tv.... |
ARA Unregistered guest | JLA01, how did you purchase "paypal money back guarantee"? Paypal policy clearly states that "You may not file a claim if you are simply disappointed with the item you have received. Items must be significantly not as described or never received". This is a quote from Paypal. In other words, they force the seller to ship you the unit if not received but if the unit does not work and it is stated that the unit must be programmed before use then it is your fault "not to be able to program the unit". I do not see how Paypal can help in this case. I will not use Paypal anymore. If you pay just by a credit card it really protects you. Simply send the unit with a trackable service to the seller's return address and submit the receipt to your credit card. They will deposit your money with no question asked. But if you paid by Paypal then it is impossible. |
JLA01 Unregistered guest | ARA: In regards to your question. When I was submitting payment through PAYPAL, I saw an option that provides money-back guarantee for an additional charge. I think I paid about $13.00 for the addl insurance. To be honest, I was thinking that they would have to haggle with the seller in regards to a refund, but I shipped the product to PAYPAL on 8/14 and by late 8/16 I received an email from PAYPAL stating that they had approved my claim and my c/c will be reimbursed. I guess I was lucky. Once my credit posts, I am going to post the name and address of the seller for all to see. Unicable U4000 is a fraud. I think a lot of people are seeing that now. **I noticed from your email that you stated that you can send the unit back via trackable service and you can have your credit card remove the charge, have you tried that before? I am curious if it works. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 102 Registered: Jul-04 | really the unicable is a rip off i did not know that hmm.lol |

jimmay boy Unregistered guest | Hey, I saw an auction on ebay for a program that will alow you to get cable and ppv channels through your pc by loading a program. the auction is like $10 and seems to state that there is no fee for the cable after the program is installed. Is this something a penny pinching anti-cable co. guy is missing out on? |

adilson Unregistered guest | I had it done 12 weeks back but i guess they found out and know all i have is basic cable i dont want to pay a cable man 100 dollars to do it for me if in a few weeks they will just find out. |

Anonymous | Ok so congratulation Wally for being "Silver". Now on a different subject: Anyones imput is appreciated: This is my 2nd day here and I am so confused I am not sure which way my head is supposed to be facing. hehehe Now the question. Chicago, analog service, no box. Let us assume that if I had a digital box "General Intruments" DCT 2244 not connected and not modfied and Comcast service for cable and internet access how could I possibly get HBO? Let us assume I have HBO voice OK but video scrambled. I need it spelled out what needs to be done. Aside from 9:95/month to get HBO? Note: I am very dense thus the need of having the info spelled out. NOTE: information requested is for educational purpose only. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 114 Registered: Jul-04 | if you have anolog,then a anolog descrambler will work,but if you have service in a analog/digital service then you are wasting your money on a box. |
Annonymously Unregistered guest | I have a question about the filter. If someone had a legitimate digital box from the cable company and a second box, could they hook the incoming cable into the first box then out to the second box, using the filter on the second box,then out to the TV? Would it work? I'm guessing that if it did work then the first box would be sending back a signal to the cable company, satisfying them, while the second box on which you ordered any PPVs or whatever, wouldn't be...I dunno. Just a thought. I make no sense most of the time. Sorry. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 115 Registered: Jul-04 | huh?no. |
Cleric Unregistered guest | I recently acquired a Motorola DCT2244/1661/ABCDEFG. I did the power on/off -select - blah blah blah reset thing. After that the box powers down then comes back on after about 10 seconds with the word "hunt" in the LED. I've since been able to pull up the Diagnostics menu but nothing else, clock, guide, or otherwise. That leaves me with 3 questions - 1) Does anyone know what this "hunt" message means? 2) Does the diagnostics menu just show current settings, or can anything be adjusted to make this work? 3) Am I just wasting my time with this thing? Any help appreciated. Thanks. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 116 Registered: Jul-04 | cleric try here. |
Train Unregistered guest | Good site above Wally. Cleric--If you read that site and my prior posts, you'll find your answer. |
Silver Member Username: SpawneddPost Number: 117 Registered: Jul-04 | hey train or anyone else interested seems the ppv reset frequenct is 9.44 mhz. |
Cleric Unregistered guest | First off, thanks to Train and Wally for your help. Secondly, based on your information and other research I have been doing on this subject, I have come to accept the following as truths. 1) There is currently no working hack available for digital cable, including the build your own "Radio Shack kit" 2) HP filters may work to some degree, but are an extremely risky gamble, while trying to reset the boxes (if even possible) and remove filters during "call days" is way more trouble than it's worth. <3> The people I know who "claim" to have descramblers also have Analog service. 4) The Motorola DCT 2XXX and others like it that are sold online, are generally only useful as paperweights. 5) The only way to get free digital cable is to get a job with the cable company. If you guys could let me know if these conclusions are correct, I shall go about my merry way and try and look for a new hobby. I have always wanted to learn to play golf ![]() |

janiepoo Unregistered guest | ok, i still have my analog cable from comcast, but now hbo, showtime and tmc are no longer available so my 7 year old descrambler is now worthless(except for the fact that comcast charges 10.00 a month for extra box rentals), i am now thinking instead of getting comcast digital cable and dealing with resetting , i might get satelite- which is the better deal? i have a aquestion about digital cable --is it sent throught the same cable which is now in my house? or do they need to rewire it or is it through a phone line? Also, what about extra digital boxes- do they charge a rental fee per month per box? will i be able to still use my spliced cable from one room to three rooms? or should i chuck everything and go for satelite? please help i need ppv for the upcoming fights in sept. and right now no ppv channels are availble through comcast analog cable |

Cleric Unregistered guest | And thanks for your reply Wally. Incidently, since I have no use for this thing, I'd be happy to unload it for the cost of shipping if anyone wants one to experiment on - for educational purposes, of course. Otherwise, I believe our next trash pick-up is on Friday. |

Cleric Unregistered guest | Nothing on the TV. This is of course after doing the famous "reset".
