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. For a unit loaded with all
the Latest On-Screen display and other features use our High quality
black test boards.

5. How do I know which Testchip or "Multi-Mode" TestBoard I need ?
	1. First, you must get the Brand Name and Model Number of the cable box
unit that is supplied by your cable company that is capable of receiving
Premium channels. The Model number is usually printed on a sticker on
the bottom of most boxes. Model numbers are usually 6-10 digits long,
for example: DPV7212, ST1600, SA8590-757, 5507VIP etc... 2. If you don't
currently have a cable box that can receive premium service, you may be
able to get the model number from a friend or neighbor nearby that has a
box that is capable of receiving premium service.

6. What if there isn't a Testchip or "Multi-Mode" TestBoard Descrambler
