Penguin Unregistered guest | Digital cable boxes, Tivos, etc., are based in Linux and can all be hacked as the software is open sourced unlike Windows. |

He came to my door and said there was a "problem" with the neighborhood node (not sure what he meant). H ewanted to check my inside system to make sure all was ok. I said sure. He left but he and other man stayed outside for at least an hour then left. Even if this coincidence, I'm not fooling around anymore. |

Kable Skam Unregistered guest | In case you missed the excellent post elsewhere on this forum, I'll paraphrase to stop these annoying requests for links. The digital cable hack is a crock. It is a filter to block cable company from seeing movies you ordered inside your cable box. It does NOT work because the box remembers each movie ordered. You WILL have to pay when cable company shuts your box down since it can't get a signal anymore and you want it reactivated. This is not old time technology anymore. The cable company can "see" your modem return and cable box return signals. You are disconnected if your return signal can't be seen. These alleged cable hack filters are one of the biggest scams and you guys are falling for it. I don't feel sorry for any of you who have lost money to this. |

New member Username: CabletoolMidwest Post Number: 9 Registered: Jan-06 | CAN SOMEONE ADD MY EMAIL TO THIS LIST OF PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE EMAILS SO I CAN GET SPAMMED TOO? "In case you missed the excellent post elsewhere on this forum, I'll paraphrase to stop these annoying requests for links. The digital cable hack is a crock. It is a filter to block cable company from seeing movies you ordered inside your cable box" He is correct, I work for Comcast. It blocks your reverse so the company cannot collect your PPV information. The only issue is your box reports itself as a "NON RESPONDER" and after a week or so will shut down all interactive services. No more ordering PPV through the box. As soon as you take the filter off your box will try to get that data to its company. As soon as the box comes back to the warehouse it is "collected" All movies will be charged to your account as the data needs to come off of it before it can be re-issued to a new subscriber. Thanks for posting all your emails though. Especially the ones that say COMCAST.NET CON. |

22222222222222 Unregistered guest | true. but im a comcast tech to an i can tell u that if you unplug the box from the wall for 24 hours and un do the filter then it clears the eprom memory and its all good . i used the filter for 6 months |

donkem Unregistered guest | this is stupid. wat i would like to know though, is the code that takes you to your cable box's information screen and whether you can alter it. when a time warner person came over to fix it i found that he kept changing to a special channel. i think it was 1999 but i cant remember. that channel has a bunch of options that look as though they could be used to do sneaky things. someone help me out. |

CSKA Unregistered guest | Ok, here's a different approach: The comcast tech guy said there was an eprom chip in the box. So with an eprom reader, wouldn't you be able to duplicate the boxes so if one guy got the premium package and copied the box, he can share it with all of his friends? Also, I wasn't able to find an eprom chip in my box (Motorola DTC2524). There was something that resembled it in that the pins looked similar but it was much smaller with only 10 pins. If anyone knows anything about this please post. Thanks. |

New member Username: ToodeeptoknowPost Number: 1 Registered: Feb-06 | I purchased 2 cable boxes from www.motoroladescrambler.com. Both boxes work fine and I have had 1 for 2 years and the other for 6 months. My question is will these boxes ever go out. They advertise they won't. Question#2 Will the cable company find out I'm using these boxes. It been two years and it seems they do not know. I do not have a filter and I'm afraid to put one on. My grandmother aways said "If it ain't broke, do fix it". |

New member Username: Blooddrinker6Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-06 | Nathan, I think of Confuicius when I read your post. Honesty and honor start at the top. When cable companys are able to stay unregulated and abuse the client base with excessive box add-ons and pay-per view charges for every damned thing they can fathom, when their services don't match what what they're chargin, when crooks like Bush and his boatload of buffoons rip off the public enmasse the little guy sees it and feels abused (Quite rightly so) and tries to do a little scamming his damned self. I totally support it. If digital TV were important to me I'd definitely be doing the same thing. Go on guys. Go ahead and get down. The big guys do it with immunity. F'em. You figure it out and you go. Citizen X |

Bronze Member Username: Formerly_fxPost Number: 18 Registered: Mar-06 | Nathan wrote (incorrectly I might add): "If you're getting something for free when you know most people are paying for it, you are breaking the law. Since when has any type of cable been free? Never." My dear poor confused child, In order for him to receive analog channels he must already be a subscriber. Every cable company in the US allows unlimited viewing of their basic analog tier on any TV you have in your home. Perhaps you need to read all my above posts on this topic. You will understand I advocate on paying for what you receive. In the above example there is no wrongdoing. xvxvxvx |

Bronze Member Username: N8d1Baltimore Post Number: 51 Registered: Jan-06 | Scooby Doo - Sorry, I thought they were trying to get the analog channels without paying for them. My bad. I'm glad you don't promote that stealing is ok. |

New member Username: Blooddrinker6Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-06 | Nathan, re-read my post. You are a good boy and a good American. Stealing is not okay. And it's not for everybody. You gotta be made of the 'Right Stuff'. It's only for those with expensive lawyers who can manipulate the law. White collar crime is just horrible! Don't you think? Let's do a google on corporate crime and other offenses and abuses of power, malfeasance, skimming etc. from the last year locally (Your particular region) and nationally. Combine the the financial gain from these arrogant crooks and the monetary amount is a gogol compared to a thousand Joe Blows cheating on cabale you upright, good and proper citizen you. Re-read my first post Nathan. I stand behind it. And you're wrong. There's ALWAYS a way to get around the system. The Wall Street guys prove that on a predictable almost boring basis. Just follow their lead. It won't steer you wrong. But let's talk about the pyschology of .... creative allocation of desired products. On one hand the creative rascal feels a sense of ..... adventure and accomplishment at having learned about and conquered a sought out goal. This of course is fuled mostly by financial motivations. Unless we have an individual who is always looking for a challenge (I have great respect for these people). There's also usually some sort of guilt associated with the aquisition of said products. It's human. But unless you're a simple minded sheeple, android, nicumpoop, ignoramous you take a look at the big guys and see how it's really done and you just have to sit back and drink a Snapple and enjoy Wathcing the British Parliment do their political thing on C-Span. By the way I highly recommend watching Tony Blair and Company in all their parlimentary splendor. It's quite a political spectacle. Very entertaining. By the way C-Span is on cable. And Cable is ALWAYS best when it's free. Don't you think? I'm confused all right. Travel the world a bit Nathan. You'll see that in some parts of the world the black market is not only high culture but is a necessity. Otherwise you'd have nothing. I'm fortunate to have traveled a lot. I had to give a knowing snicker at the clever Thai people who were quite clever at setting up illegal phones systems and guffaw at how ingenius the Indians are at obtaing electricity. It's human nature. Why are we Americans so pent up about it when our elite write the book on how to do it best? To the other un-american devils on here who are looking for ways around the system you go guys. You are the freedom fighters on the new world. |

New member Username: IndbizPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | You guys are fn nuts. Stop wasting your time with the motorola digital cable box. All the digital boxes are the same, you can not clear the ppv, you can not get free digital service. Stop wasting your money. The only still that still works is old-fashion removal of house filters for analog service (at your own risk). As long as you have a Motorola digital cable box (either standard or high def), you'll get great quality, but it will cost you one way or another. |

New member Username: LonerangerPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Yes, but if you purchase your own digital cable box, and have a legal comcast digital box and service. And make sure you buy one that has a phone port, not the new one that automatically has phone hooked up and then put it in your bedroom and hook up the filter, it will work, sure you have to pay your reg. fee, but you can have all the chanles in another room..It works,because I did it... all the pay per view chanles, everything.... So the guy who keeps on writing "You guys are fn nuts. Stop wasting your time with the motorola digital cable box. All the digital boxes are the same, you can not clear the ppv, you can not get free digital service. Stop wasting your money" And the comcast employee who stated "He is correct, I work for Comcast. It blocks your reverse so the company cannot collect your PPV information. The only issue is your box reports itself as a "NON RESPONDER" and after a week or so will shut down all interactive services. No more ordering PPV through the box.

As soon as the box comes back to the warehouse it is "collected" All movies will be charged to your account as the data needs to come off of it before it can be re-issued to a new subscriber. " If they don't collect your 2nd box, because its not theres, than they cant collect the information, and if it is not plugged into the phone line but the other one is then they cant track it... O yes,,,, |

New member Username: IndbizPost Number: 7 Registered: Apr-06 | Interesting followup, lone ranger. How do you suppose to get your purchased box to work on their plant. Forget channels maps for a second (they probably come down all the time eventually), but we are talking about general box configuration and authorizations. Correct me if I wrong, but Comcast will not add boxes to their system unless they have issue you the box and/or recognize the serial number? |

New member Username: TkguessPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | I have a scientific atlanta box. I have legitimate digital cable from my cable company. I bought a second box because they wanted to charge me 9.95 for rental of another box a month and 4.95 for the outlet. I find this ridiculous, but I don't want to have to unplug and carry my box back and forth from my living to my bedrooom to watch it. These people are greedy and crazy! I bought an identical box and called them to have them activate it when I was irately told that was illegal. What is illigal about owning your own box, they can turn it off anytime they want anyway. All I want to do is to use my 2nd box to get identical channels to the livingroom box. and why should I have to pay them for outlets that I put in and have been using for analog anyway without charge. This is extortion and just plain crazy. We live in the trees and can no longer get satellite so we are stuck with one cable company. There are others but they can't compete in the same territory. just STUPID. Can I challenge this somehow or can I find a way to use my second box. I don't want to steal. just watch what I pay for without having to sleep on the couch all night. |

Bronze Member Username: Formerly_fxDallas, Tx Post Number: 91 Registered: Mar-06 | Your cable company is correct and you are misleading yourself. Do you think you should be able to drive two different cars using one license plate too? The cable company is a "for profit" company, not a charitly whose sole purpose is to make your life easier. Pay the fees, use your new STB for a doorstop and enjoy. xvxvxvx |

New member Username: TkguessPost Number: 2 Registered: May-06 | Most of you have misuderstood me. I am not trying to STEAL my didgital cable. I pay for all the channels I receive, However when I bought a second converter to use in my bedroom that is identical to the one the cable company gave me for the first room ( because I didn't want to pay their 9.95 a month to RENT a second one, almost 120.00 each year. I called them and wanted them to hit it and turn it on, just like the other one we have. Then some jerk told me that was illegal, WHAT? I bought the second converter, just Like i bought my own cable modem and I calle them and had them hit it and it was just fine. I'd rather own my own equiptment than to rent theirs eternally. If they hit it to turn it on, they can turn them bot off anytime we don't make a payment which has never happened in all the years we have had it. I don't know why I should have to unhook the converter from the livingroom and hook it up in the bedroom whenever we go to bed because our bodies are tired. I see no reason that owning our own converter to watch the channels we pay for is illegal. Someone is full of crap. They even want to charge me 4.95 per outlet ( that we installed and have used for free when we had anaolog cable with them, they didn't care then. What's up? All I wanted to know is there a way to hack this one to get it ON so we can watch the channels we pay for, No pay per view and no premium channels. And a GOOD reason why it woul be illegal when the same company let me do the same with my cable modem and it was perfectly legal. It makes no sense to me. I bought it, if they don't pay, they can shut it off, Where's the harm in that, especially when you can't buy or get hacked converters anyway. What's up |

New member Username: SeanbatemanPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | Well, this is what I did, and it seems to work: At my previous residence, I received digital cable and I was renting the HD DVR cable box from the cable company. I ended up moving and closed my account but they never asked for the box back, so I kept it. I moved somewhere else where my roomate already had digital cable in his name, but he didn't have the DVR box so we couldn't record, etc. I plugged my old box into the cable there and removed his. I get all the same channels I used to get plus the DVR box, and I am not paying the rental fee for the box. My question is, can the cable company see that the box has been changed? If so, will they see that it belongs to my previously closed account? Will this get my roomate in trouble, will they start billing him the rental fee? I am not getting any channels that he doesn't pay for, we are just getting use of DVR for free. |

New member Username: Jdub383Post Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | Alright heres the deal. I'm going to attempt to address every issue discussed in this post. First issue everyone wants to know about is getting free pay-per-view. It can be done Ive done it for quite sometime now and never had a problem with my bill. The way that most cable companies bill you for orders is everynight when most people are in bed around 3 or 4 in the morning the computers at the cable company poll everyones boxes to see if they are responding or not. This is also when it gets the information about pay-per-view. So to be safe you can block off the return from your box(either with a filter or run the cable through your vcr before going to your cable box) watch your pay-per-view movie. Then do a hard reset of the box(you can usually find a in-depth manual on whatever box you own), when you do the hard reset this dumps whatever info the box has including pay-per-view information. After doing this you are free to unblock the return so that your cable box does not come back as a non responder. Second thing is Kevin who ordered the box from motoroladescrambler.com, he is getting digital channels. All analog and digital channels are sent as a radio frequency, it just takes a different type of tuner to pick up the digital channels. To answer Kevins question about getting caught, the company that hacked these boxes may have cut off the boxes capability of sending back a signal. Ok and now Joe Handle. I am going to correct you because you are wrong. Comcast will add your own personal digital box, they will need the information off the box but you will get charged a fee for having a second digital outlet. You just wont get charged a rental fee on the box. Ok and now this is to Sean Bateman, If you brought that box from somewhere else and it works still, you dont have to remove his box. You can use both boxes still, you will just have to put the one your not using presently on another active outlet. They may eventually see that the DVR box you kept off of your old account is still in use and shut it off and you will also probably be getting a bill in the mail for the cost of the box. Anyways the easiest way right now to get all the digital channels free is going out and getting a QAM tuner. This is the type of tuner that is in all digital boxes to pick up the digital channels. The only thing about going and getting a QAM tuner is that it only tunes into frequencies. Channel 125 may be at 185 Mhz or maybe even higher. The Mhz is what the QAM tuner will tune into. So you will just have to figure out what channels are on what frequency. The only way cable companies can stop this is by encrypting all the digital channels, which would cost quite a bit of money to do. So for now enjoy. Any questions email at JDub383@hotmail.com. |

Silver Member Username: Formerly_fxDallas, Tx Post Number: 125 Registered: Mar-06 | Justin, How a bout a link to the applicable FCC link? The only one you will discover will not be from 1982 and it only allows you to own an analog STB. Now statute yet forcing a cable company to make your digital STB of choice to work on their network. Since you don't need any sort of analog STB in order to receive analog programming to point becomes moot. xvxvxvx |

Silver Member Username: CableguyDeep in the ... U.S. Post Number: 776 Registered: Mar-05 | Taken from the FCC website: www*fcc*gov/mb/facts/csgen*html (replace the * with .) UNAUTHORIZED RECEPTION OF CABLE SERVICES The 1984 Cable Act provides damages and penalties of up to two years in prison and/or $50,000 in fines to be assessed against anyone determined to be guilty either of the unauthorized interception or reception of cable television services or of the manufacture or distribution of equipment intended to be utilized for such a purpose. The Commission does not prosecute unauthorized reception of cable services. Rather, cable operators aggrieved by a violation may bring an action in a United States district court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Knowledge of violations should be reported directly to the cable system. The text was taken from the same link posted above: www*fcc*gov/mb/facts/csgen*html (replace the * with .) (pay attention to the last line) you can see it under the section "COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN CABLE SYSTEMS AND CONSUMER EQUIPMENT" Under the consumer education program requirements, cable operators must also inform subscribers that: certain TVs and VCRs simply may not be able to receive all of the channels offered by the cable system once they are connected directly to the cable system; there are various types of channelization (tuner reception) incompatibilities; and offer suggestions for resolving channelization problems, e.g., use a set-top channel converter device that could be obtained from either the cable system or a retailer (in the latter case, only simple channel converter devices that do not include descrambling capability) As xvxvxvx cleary states nothing indicates a cable company has to allow you to have your own STB to view digital channels. For the sake of argument, let's say you go on eBay and buy a Motorola digital STB, and your cable company doesn't use Motorola equipment. How does the cable company communicate with a piece of equipment that they have no files for in order to load data to allow that piece of equipment to work in their system? They don't, they won't and there is nothing else to be said about it. |
