Do Digital Cable Filters Work?

I will buy a new digital cable box on ebay so I will not have to use there cable boxes. That way they need to come for repair, I can hide the box. Also, I would not have to clear memeory. How About HBO and all those? The On Demand Channels? Thx In Advance :) Also, How do you get HBO on demand With It? Dont u gotta call and order? Or can you do it on remote? I have Time Warner.

Answer:
If it does work when you get it, It wont be working for long.
Cable companies are going to star a new thing where your cable tap is going to have an I.P. Address and if your cable box doesn't match that add its not going to work.
Digital cable cant be used in that way because the Set top Box they assign you has a MAC address that is programmed into their network that enables the bi-directional communication that actually engages the broadcast transmission to your box, so people cant boot leg cable services. As soon as you connect another digital box to the cable the network head end node will disconnect transmission and generate a network alarm in their Network Operations Center, Which since 2002 is now a crime!

Only Analog cable can be defeated with use of frequency filters, but many Cable companies use a digital link over analog services, so as soon as a STB is connected they know, its not like the old days!
