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:
Cable filters work by preventing the two way communication that occurs between the box and the cable company's "head end". Without two way communication, you can't get any on demand features at all, because the demand has to be routed upstream to signal to the cable company to send you the on demand programming.

They've gotcha.
