Questions and Answers

Q: What is an unmodified cable box descrambler?
A: Unmodified means that the box has not been tampered with to force it to receive channels you are not paying for.
Q: Why does the industry call them descramblers if they do not descramble anything?
A: Every type of tuner is one type of A descrambler or another. IE: A VCR or TV takes in the signal from the cable wire in your wall, that signal is not viewable unless it is "tuned" or "decoded" or "descrambled" into something that can be viewed on your TV set. The signal is decoded into a viewable signal. Certain channels like premium and pay per view channels must be authorized by the cable company to be decoded. Many people on the web sell boxes that are setup to defeat the cable companies "unauthorized scrambled" channels. We do not sell boxes this way. Our boxes will only tune in the channels that your cable company sends down the wire that are "authorized" such as the basic or extended basic channels.
Q: What purpose does an unmodified cable box or unmodified cable descrambler serve?
A: Consumers that have older TV sets or TV's that are not capable of tuning to 125 channels will need a cable box. Owners of most brands of plasma high definition TV's will need A cable TV box to tune in the cable channels since nearly all plasma TV's do not come with a built in Tuner or decoder. Anyone that has a TV that the volume control does not work or the remote does not work can install an unmodified cable box descrambler and have full remote control access again without replacing the whole TV set.
