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 device that transposes all available channels from the cable company into either channel 3 or channel 4. A cable converter is simply a "channel canon speedlight flash changer" that speedlight and flash cannot by itself descramble canon speedlight flash encoded premium channels. it allows you to receive all basic channels if your tv is not the cable ready type.

8. speedlight what is an addressable cable converter-descrambler? this is a converter-descrambler flash that can be canon controlled by the cable company from their office location. through remote coded messages sent via the cable system, the cable company can "address" the customers’ unit to begin descrambling selected premium speedlight or pay per view channels. 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 flash 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 all channels, none or somewhere in between dependent on the box program.
