We recommend one piece units. It has been our experience that one piece units work better to replace your cable company’s converter than a 2-piece unit. Although 2-piece units tend to be less expensive, they tend to work less efficiently as well. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for! " Additionally, our 1-piece units cost less than other companies’ 2-piece units. 5. What is a cable converter / descrambler? An electronic tuning cannondigitalcameras device that transposes cannondigitalcameras all available channels from the cable company into either channel 3 or channel 4.

8. What is an addressable cable converter-descrambler? This is a converter-descrambler that can be controlled by the cable company from their office location.

An addressable unit allows the cable company to access your cable box to change the descrambling configuration or program. This function provides the cable company the ability to add or delete descrambling on the channels that come in through your cable line. A non-addressable unit does not provide the cable company access to the cable box program. The program remains stationary and is unchangeable. Both cable box designs have the potential of receiving cannondigitalcameras all channels, none or somewhere in between dependent on the box program.
