Reset Procedure and using the filter responsibly: Please Read!

Firstly, please don't go crazy with the filter. The filter does require a little maintenance to insure smooth and uninterrupted use. The filter should only be used for special occasions or special events because of the maintenance required. It's not a miracle worker like the old analog black boxes were but it's the only product that will work on digital cable at the moment.

Your box may keep a record of pay per view events in it's log and therefore will require a reset to clear the memory of the box. That is what the filter does, it traps the billing signal from leaving your box to give you time to reset the memory. We have acquired the knowledge of many cable employees and the wealth of information on the internet to find the secret reset procedures the cable companies never thought would get out.

It is these secrets that are listed below and will require you to experiment a little until you find the exact method of resetting your box. If you can't find the reset procedure for your box below then you might want to get creative and do a search for your box's reset procedures. The internet is a wonderful thing and it is a great tool, so use it.

3rd 17th and the 22nd of each month are not good days to use the filter and this is why it is a good idea to put the filter on, watch your pay per view, reset the box and then take it off. Rest assured that when you do find your reset procedure it will become second nature and only take you a minute or two to do. If you forget about these days and watch a pay per view on them it's not the end of the world, just do the reset and take the filter off after you're done watching it. They are bad days because the cable company likes to stay in communication with the boxes and the filter may disrupt their communication with the box.

So now you are acquainted with what the filter does. Lets move on to the correct way of testing it out.

Below you will find the reset procedures for many makes and models of boxes. You will want to go to your section and look them over. You will want to start with the first procedure listed for your box. You then watch your movie, and then keep the filter on and do the first method listed. After doing the first procedure you should take the filter off. Wait a few days and then check your account online or over their phone system to see if you were billed. If the charge doesn't show up then congratulations! You have found your correct method and can now use the filter freely.

If you were charged then you will want to try and order another pay per view except this time, try the next reset procedure listed for your box. etc, etc, until you find the correct reset method for your box. Doing it this way may cost you a couple of pay per view charges but will significantly save you time in the future instead of doing all of the reset procedures every time you need to reset because you don't know which one is actually working.
