Ok Guys, I have digital t.v Cable with ***Cast and only have about 20 channels after the tech install a small device like a filter That I could see from my backyard, I've heard that there are some devices (connectors) that could be bypass this filter to the line coming from the pole and be able to get all the Goodies....True or Not...
Thank you all in advanced.

filters got nothing to do with tv only cable modems the boxes can get the channel even with the filter on not always. the filters can be used to take out analog channels or any frequency if the cable company gets them special made for their needs. if you are trying to get more analogue channels then yes you need to bypass the filter. this has nothing to do witht this forum. to get digital channels taking a filter off won't help unless the filter is bloking the frequencies for that QAM. and you'll need a digi box auth for the channels. |

yes for analogs but then again even with filter the analogs can be descrambled by a normal black box.....depends on area even this black boxes 99 channel analog need to be for that area

Thank you all for your great anwser..last ?
ok Adrian so you said that with the famous Box mention in this forum I could get the rest of the analog channels ? the boxes can get the channel even with the filters on in the pole ? Now once I buy one of this digital boxes in Fleabay just plug and filter bypass ? ....or I have openit up play withit wich is what is forum is about ?
Now from what I understand analog channels go from 0 to 78) then after that is digital...Would I get both analog and digital ? ....
Again Thank you all.

no if from 78 and up are digital are diferent format..... do you have cable internet? cable modem ? not sure what you meant. where i am 2-62 are analogue and the rest are digital. yes i have a cable modem and no there is no filter on that line. i can get cable on it too. so for example if i had a filter to block everything above 450Mhz (~channnel 62) and assuming your digital QAM's start above 450MHz now matter how wide open your box is you won't get digital channels. A trap/filter drops the frequency 30db or more. No black box, digital box can descramble a signal it can't get. If you have internet only then you have a filter that allows the sub low and the higher frequencies to pass to allow the modem to see a return path (upstream) and the docsis channel (downstream) (assuming you have docsis modem) . In this case yes you could get digital channels that are above the downstream channel. The point is form the original post by pete is that if they trapped his line to only recieve 20 channels and nothing more (~220MHz) then he won't get digital without removing the trap. I don't know what cable system he is in or what traps they use, so this is just an example. |
