If the memory ever fills up on your box and it won't let you order pay per views anymore. Repeat step 4. If that fails, try this:

Unplug the power. Have someone hold the ON/OFF and SETUP button at the same time. Plug it back in while still holding the buttons in for at least 20 seconds and then release. This should completely reset the memory. If it's reset to the point that it's not working, take the filter off, put the cable back on and call the cable company and say your kid was messing with the box and it's not working. They will turn it back on over the phone. Then install the filter again.

If you have a different brand of box than the ones listed above do this:

Find your power button and then select one of the other buttons on the box. Push the two buttons at the same time and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat this procedure using the power button and all the rest of the buttons on the box until each of the buttons has had it's turn. (Example: Hold the power + select buttons for 20 seconds, then the power + menu buttons for 20 seconds, etc until they all have their turn.) Then immediately unplug the box. Let it sit for at least 30 seconds unplugged. Plug the box back in and wait until you hear a click before you turn it back on (some may not make the clicking sound) just wait 1 minute before turning back on if that's your case. The memory should be clear now. You will know it's cleared when it temporarily forgets the names of your channels.

If you have to call in to order your pay per views then this will not work for you. You must be able to order them through your remote! Once the filter is installed on your box DO NOT REMOVE IT! It may result in double charges! This is not a descrambler and will not descramble channels. This is to insure your privacy only. It is your responsibility to contact your cable company and notify them of the pay per views you watch since they will never know.

Update April 02, 2003:

If your box happens to have a problem and it's a Motorola, General Instruments, or Scientific Atlanta box, here is the reset procedure that does work to reset the memory of these boxes.

Unplug the power of your digital box and hold the on/off button and the setup button down and plug it back in. Hold these 2 buttons down for 15 seconds and that will reset your box. Remove the filter, call the cable company and have them reset your box. Reinstall the filter and you will be good to go!

If you have a Motorola DCT 2000 follow these instructions:

Unplug the power, Hold the ON/OFF switch and guide button down and plugit back in, Hold for 15 seconds and release. This should totally reset the box.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If that doesn't work, unplug it when you go to sleep and leave it unplug for 12 hours. You will reset the memory and will be able to watch more ppv channels. Try unplugging your box for 12 hours, but DO NOT TAKE OUT THE FILTER, NEVER DO THAT with this technique or you will be charged everything that you watched since you've got the filter.

Another option:
When ordering PPV, call 800 number on screen to order PPV. But do not "hang up yet", when you call that number. The system sends signal to your box to turn on that channel. Now, here is the trick! Right when the PPV channel appears, either unplug the box or disconnect input cable from box. Right after disconnecting, you cancel order by pressing #9 on the phone. The reason you do this is after you cancel your order, The system sends another signal to your box to "turn off" that PPV channel! If the box is unplugged or disconnected, it cannot read that signal, leaving PPV
turned on! Hook your box up after 30 seconds and you can watch your movie!
