Imagine catching all the pay-per-view (PPV) movies and all the sporting events free of charge!

Filter Cable has launched technology which will allow viewers and cable operators to receive all the PPV channels without even paying for the same.

Filter Cable's Digital Filter works on digital cable if viewers orders PPV and special events through the remote control. However, it doesn't work if one has make calls (to the local cable operator) in order to receive the same.

The Digital Filter connects on the input side of the digital box where the incoming cable line is connected. The digital power filter fits on the cable between the wall jack and the converter box, nothing else needed to be done. The digital filter stops the frequency signal that communicates with the digital cable box. The filter is to be used as a digital signal booster to enhance digital cable, but subject to to the local laws.

This particular digital filter doesn't depend on the type of cable system or the set top box one is using. The filter works by blocking the billing signal that the receiver sends back to the cable company.

Whenever the viewer pushes the ("Order" "Purchase" "Buy") button on the receiver; instead of the cable company receiving the information, it is completely blocked and stopped from ever reaching the cable company. Viewers can still get the channel they ordered only difference is they won't be charged for it.

It seems as if the more complex the technology, the easier it is to bypass it!
