how do people chip analogue cable?

**schmevin** · 27th January 2003

how is it possible to chip an anaologue cable box to receive all the tv channels. i heard that the Jerrold box can be chipped, but does anyone know if it would work on telewest?

Yes works on telewest mate, you will need a PIC 12C509 chip available from most elctronic stores, then programme the hex, get diagram for corresponding model and install chip.

You will find everything you need by searching the net.

thanks for the info

you will also need to readdress the box using tcinit or a modified cube will also work

Hope this helps

like amo says...jus get a pic12c509(Maplins),Hexgen3 or 4 software,diagrams for your specific box and a progger like Elvis will do the rest...no need to use tcinit to reset..Good Luck

i suppose the same would apply to the old

scientific atlanta box's (cable london- with the loopback cable)?

cheers

Only SA8602 VR01 scientific atlanta boxes can be chipped, enabling all channels is a similar process to jerrold.

I have written a detailed tutorial for the Videoway tvn-pal-1-2 analogue decoder, if you want it please let me know and i'll upload it on some webspace.

I was going to make a proper cable analogue and digital site but i couldn't be bothered so i've just uploaded my videoway tutorial and a few links to useful sites and files at www.amoweb.cjb.net

hope it helps someone! if it does please let me know!

Getting an analogue box soon to play around with.
Sure your tutorials will be very helpful.

- Can the programming for these cable chips etc be carried out using an "ELVIS" if so what software would need to be used with the elvis.

- A friend has a cube that no longer works, i hear that they can be re-chipped or re-programmed if so could someone tell me how this can be done what equipment, software, tools etc.

cheers..

@ fossil:

i have 4 videoway decoders unchipped for �40 each, i will sell if you want to collect?

TBH...until I saw your post, I had never heard of videoway. I was more interested in the article about chipping SA boxes. Until recently I hadn't been interested in cable viewing, but I have just had NTL broadband installed & realised that the analogue video channels are also sent down the same cable.
I also didn't realise until a couple of days ago, that Jerrold and SA boxes were not interchangable. A mate told me that for my area I need an SA box. He said he knew someone who might be selling one & would let me know.
Is the videoway box compatable with Jerrold, SA or neither!
