This is a chip that is installed into your cable box turning it into a descrambler. A Testchip or "Multi-Mode" TestBoard is an Add-on type of device which when used with a addressable cable box restores the video and audio of scrambled channels, making them clear and viewable. This will let you view channels like Pay-Per-View, HBO, Showtime, Spice, and many others. All chips are sold with instructions on how to install the chip and also a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee for less than $40. Frequently Asked Questions 1. How do I get more information on a Testchip or get in contact with you? You Can take a look at our Webb page @: http://www.ganesisnetwork.net/users/nathanb/index.html or call us at 1-88-TEST-CHIP or (1-888-378-2447). 2. Are Testchip or "Multi-Mode" TestBoard Descramblers legal to own and use ? YES, Absolutely! Descramblers are Now legal to own and use. If your cable TV company can rent a cable box to you, then you can own a box yourself. Many years ago, AT&T had the monopoly of renting telephones to consumers. Then, the FCC ruled that it was legal for consumers to own their own telephones. Now the law has been changed for cable TV equipment too! It is now legal for you to purchase and own your own cable equipment to take advantage of all the latest features available as well as saving Big money on all the equipment rental fees! Please note: it is your responsibility to let the cable TV company know that you have your own equipment, since they can't detect it. It is also your responsibility to pay for any services you receive. 3. What is an Addressable Cable Box ? Addressable means that the cable box can be controlled remotely by the cable company from their office. By sending signals thru the cable system, the cable company can "talk" to a specific addressable cable box on the system to control which channels are scrambled and where the channels are located. This type of system lets the cable company instantly add or delete descrambling on the channels that come into your cable box as well as the location of those channels. The Testchip or "Multi-Mode" TestBoard descramblers do not allow the cable company to have control over the cable box. Addressable and Non-addressable units both have the ability to receive all Premium channels. 4. Are all Testchips and TestBoards the same ? No, There are significant differences in technology, features, reliability, quality, warranty and price. Some companies sell obsolete equipment with little or no warranty. Other companies charge a small fortune for a low tech unit. We offer the spectrum from yesterday�s technology to tomorrow�s State-of-the-Art TestChips and Test Multi-Mode Boards loaded with all the features you want.
