thinking of copping this on Craiglist. dont know much about the politics of cable boxes, so could someone skool me please? Pls tell me all I need to know.

Is $225 a good deal or am I gettin GOT? :confused:

Will all those channels always be available, or do they go off after a while?? :confused:

Is it true illegal boxes send signals back to the cable company? :confused:


here's the ad..

Cable Box. All PPV channels free. - $225
Cable box for Balto county or city includes all standard channels and all PPV channels. And best of all no monthly bill. You also get the adult channels for free.
 
i had that for a long time til they did something to the cards. i didn't even think they still did that shit.

whenever my shit went out i'd have to have the dude flash the card ($50) and after awhile he said they changed some shit and he couldn't do it anymore.

maybe yours is different but it sounds like the same shit

most of the cable boxes are digital now and direct tv boxes have to be programmed to a unique card...

everybody i know that used those things gave up and got legal cable.

good luck though and let me know if it works and what brand and model you brought

It's doubtful it will work. If you are not able to connect a coax cable wire directly to the tv and get a picture without having a digital tuner built into the tv, chances are slim to none. Most cable companies require at least a digital adapter/converter to get even local channels now. Most motorola boxes are tied to a specific carrier. When it starts up if it gives you a splash screen for a specific provider that is not your own you are out of luck. If it is the same provider, IF it works, its only going to work until the stb reauthorizes itself and if it does that on start up, you are SOL from jump. Where I work, (not comcast) the serial numbers are associated with the account and provisioned based on the account. They are tied to the circuit that brings service to the house. They aren't supposed to work at all if they are not on the matching circuit, tho I've seen it happen. If the serial number is associated with another ACTIVE account, you may get whatever they were provisioned for, but if it is a disconnected or suspended account, again no go. Adult channels, unless they are a monthly subscription are mostly ppv and wont authorize without an acct tied to it with a credit limit. I'd walk away.
 
One more thing: I haven't tried any of these so I can't vouch for the content, but if you are looking for adult content, pick up a roku the next time they go on sale. There are a private channels/hidden channels you can subscribe to. This page gives some general info and links to a blog page that is supposed to be all free or free previews:

Just google "roku private adult channels" for more hits.
 
It could work if you have analog cable. But you would still have to pay for the basic package. It won't work with digital. If I where you I would get the cheapest analog package your provider has and, ask the person selling the box to let you hook it up before you buy it.
 
Craigslist?

LMAO.

There are tech's that hook people up with hot boxes.

But they aren't dumb enough to put that shit up there on any public forum.
 
Unless you are on a cable system that hasn't been updated since the early 90s it's not possible anymore. It's a scam.

True for real "hot boxes".

But I know for a fact that there are techs here in Baltimore that are selling boxes with all the channels on them for about $200-300.

I'm pretty sure what they are doing though is just putting codes on a box that is attached to another persons account.

I wouldn't fuck with CL but let me assure you that price is legit and that shit WORKS... I don't know where you are who your provider is or anything but lets just say i know someone with a 3d box from a cable (Not Satellite) company that is working as of right now. He gets porn but not the shit you really want to see.Playboy etc... The nigga got 4 boxes all HD and one 3D. I wont answer any questions or PM but just know if you dealing with the right people the shit is real. :yes:
 
With the boxes I don't know. I know if you know someone who pays for cable, you can have them order a extra box and use it at your home as long as you have a cable line coming through. They can put a code in the box, but I think that's more of a inside job.
Sold a cable modem to my cousin about 3yrs ago, he said it's still working fine. I should have kept it, now I'm using Clear:angry:

I will say that both of these comments are true. I know for a fact. I also will not answer any questions or PM's. You can get PPV through them, but that shit will get turned off fast as fuck. Same with the modems.

Its real..but it wont last for long. Especially if youre fucking with some guy who drives a Cable truck full of equipment or if youre dealing with some big company.

If its a major Cable company like Comcast...be advised that every..and i mean every cable box that theyve purchased from Motorola, etc is registered in their systems. If you get caught getting some shit you aint paying for..they will press charges. I know a few people who got fucked over here in Chicago via Comcast and RCN. BIG fines.

We're in a digital age when it pertains to cable. Aint no more of that screwing on adapters or sneaking in the cable room and switch cords around. That shit is done.

But....what you can do is pay someone thats paying for cable to use/"rent" one of their boxes. Quick example using Comcast.....everything is digital now. The way your cable is activated via comcast is by them sending a signal through their entire network. Once that signal locates the box thats it looking for...you now have cable. And that cable box will continue to work until a disconnection signal is sent to it. Once your box is activated...you can basically take it to any cable ready building or house a view every channel that the person is paying for.

Say you live on the south side of chicago.....and i live way on the north side. If I order a movie on PPV on the north side...and you have one of the boxes registered to my account on the south side...whatever movie that i ordered you can view it as well. Mainly because we're only dealing with digital signals.

As long as i pay my cable bill every month..the cable box that I let you borrow will always stay on. Trust me...when people sell you hot boxes theyre usually selling you a box thats under someones account. But if that person stops paying their bill....and that disconnection signal go's out...you no longer have cable. Get it?

Its people out here renting 7 cable boxes...but only using two. and theyre hustin off the other 5 to pay their cable bill. Hence... its like theyre getting free cable..but theyre really not...lol

When they discontinue their account they will owe one hell of an equipment fee. They'll probably never be able to go back to cable.

I work for Time Warner. SHIT AINT WORKING SON. Almost all cable boxes are hot in every cable system now . All that means is that
the box doesn't require a hit(activation) to come on. That shit will last you about all of 1 day if your lucky. AND FOR THE POSTER ABOVE ME, even if your friend gave you his legit cable box that was on his account and you take it outside the node its registered to, it wont even work. You literally would have to live on the same damn block as the person. And I cant wait until we get rid of analog(basic) cable here at Time Warner.
Then the whole bootleg game will be over. We are one of the last few companies to still offer it. So just fucking buy it man.
Muthafuckas crack me up jumping through loops to get free cable, but will sign there souls over to Verizon or Tmobile for cell services :smh:
