A special "addressable " cable converter is furnished by the cable company to subscribers of this service. Usually the source has another outlet or may need to do research on your request. 14. What are "bullets"? The terms "bullets" is very misleading and has grown way out of control in this industry. Cable companies transmit data, this is how all addressable cable systems work. Both, cable companies and cable dealers alike use the term "bullet" to describe this transmission of data . Bullets are nothing more than transmitted signal which affects the cable box program. It does not fry the guts of the equipment but rather may shut the box off temporarily, reprogram the box, or shut the box down in an error mode. The box can easily be reset by unplugging it for 15min. This will allow the unit to reset and correct any error that has occurred. They should provide two-piece systems, refurbished RAN baseband boxes in conjunction with the latest tech versions. Of course, you get what you pay for. But there are reasonable values out there. 3. Do you need a cable converter if you have the cable company box, VCR or a cable-ready TV?Yes you do. In order to establish a non- addressable system, it is essential to have a cable converter. A cable ready TV, VCR and a Cable Company box do not provide for this feature and in not doing so, cannot replace a cable converter. You must have a converter to use a descrambler. This is especially true if you desire a converter / descrambler that cannot be altered or addressed by your cable company. ©2003 www.palm-pilots-accessories.com. All rights reserved. |
