    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

                "Every so often your cable company sends out a test signal to ensure your cable box is online. Because your digital cable filter prevents your box from sending information BACK to your cable company, your box will no longer be able to report back to your cable provider that it is online. When this happens several times in a row, eventually your cable company will shut off ALL of your digital cable television programming."

                Hi i agree with krankshaft, in england we have cable and although the encryption/decryption is a little different its basically the same. When you use a filter (im not selling) it stops talkback and eventually the CC want to know why the box is not talking back ie what channels you get on ppv, and what you are subscribed to. The only way of free is by Modding the box.

                    Modding the box is hard. You have to activate it and change the serial (so they don't deactivate it) . You will still only get the channels you originally paid for.

                        Cable Repair
                        by Patch2
                        I have a broken connector (believe it's a 6 pin mini-DIN) on a cable. The metal shroud and all but one of the pins are separated from the cable, and just stuck together for the photo. The other end is an unknown rectangular connector. The cable is for the foot pedals on an Italian made electronic piano, and the company is out of business. Looking for ideas on how to fix it. I have a soldering iron, but I'm not very skilled at soldering, so getting a retrofit for the broken end may be beyond my ability. The other end would be easier to replace, if I could get a mini-DIN cable with the same number...

                        T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)

                        Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                        The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                        Original T-con:
                        Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                        First replacement T-con:

                        I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                        HP-Pavilion x360 Laptop Dead After USB-C Cable Connection
                        by fweonea
                        While at university, I connected my HP-Pavilion x360 14-dw0156ng laptop, running Windows 10, to a monitor using a provided USB-C cable. Immediately after this, my laptop's screen turned black and the device stopped working entirely. There are no signs of life such as fan noise or LED indicators, holding the power button does nothing. I've previously used this same monitor model and cable without issues, the cable typically charges the laptop as well.
                        I've attempted holding the power button for over 30 seconds, removing and reinserting the battery, and trying to power it on with only the...

                        by marce002
                        Hi all, please

                        I just want to make a "usb c" charging cable from 5V power supply (have cut cable w/ red black green and white pins connected from factory.... i just want to use 500mah max !

                        How do I connect this ? if I do not have CC1 /2 physically wired, how to proceed?

                        NOTE: an identical new (not cut) USB A to USB C cable charges my phone but not the remote control!

                        here is a picture of the remote, the cable to be used and a picture of what are the factory connected pins

                        thanks in advance!!

                        Hannspree HT 273 HPB USB cable type A to type B?
                        by paparazzo79
                        Hi guys.
                        I purchased the monitor from the link below:
                        https://www.hannspree.eu/product/ht-273-hpb/
                        Since I will be using monitor from bed, I'd need longer usB type A to type B plug cable.
                        I got one which is 4.5m long, regular one
                        May I use it without harm to the monitor?
                        I suppose cable which came with monitor is regular type A to type B,not some speical cable.
                        I could picture what is labeled on the cable, if it matters for assistance.
