Just in case anyone is interested in getting something for nothing with one of these digital cable filters please understand that the use for which these items are being marketed is ILLEGAL in many jurisdictions, and can be considered theft of service.
The 'filter' will only work temporarily and only on programming that is ordered with your digital cable box's remote control.
The filter will not get you premium channels, and you will eventually have to pay for any programs/(Pay Per View) you order, as digital cable boxes store purchases in a nonvolatile, non-erasable memory until such time as the purchase can be reported to the cable system's head end.
In addition, the filter blocks all communications between the box and the cable television system. Occasionally the system operator will poll the boxes to check for trouble and to collect purchase information.
Typically after a certain number of days/weeks without a response the cable company will treat this as a "non-responder" and issue a command to shut the box down. The box will typically not be re-enabled until either a service visit is scheduled, or the box is returned to the cable operator, and in either case, the previous purchases will be discovered and you will be billed for the services rendered.
The filters work by blocking the return path signal (5-42 MHz, "T channels") used to send information from premise equipment to the cable company. (This is the same frequency range commonly used by cable modems upstream bands, portable transmission equipment in schools, etc., etc.).
This is a huge problem for the cable television industry, and the general public is being duped into believing that what they are doing is legal and that they will get away with it. (To add insult to injury, not only will the subscriber be back billed, but also they will have wasted a significant amount of money on a little metal tube that does absolutely nothing).
The manufacturers of these filters, which do have legitimate uses within the cable television industry, have issued statements reiterating that they do not approve of this use, and that the persons selling these devices have obtained them from 'grey market' sources.
