Notes:

- VIP TEST
CHIP DIFFERENCES
-
- =====================================================
- BOTH CHIPS
FIT ALL BOXES MARKED: 5507 VIP OR 5503
VIP
- NEITHER CHIP
WILL WORK ON 5503, 5507, OR 5503A
- =====================================================
-
- NON-AUTOMAPPING
CHIP
-
- Used for
testing purposes only, the chip forces the
box to "turn-on" all channels the box is
normally capable of receiving. If the box did
not receive a given channel before, if will
still not receive that channel after the test
chip is installed. This chip, typically, does
not alter the order in which the channels are
placed. I.E., channel 5 is still channel 5 on
the box display. Channel order is the same as
before the test chip is installed into the
box.
-
- AUTOMAPPING
CHIP
-
- Also used
for legal testing purposes only, this chip is
different in that it "remaps" all channels by
deleting the "empty" channels where no
programming was present. As with the
NON-AUTOMAPPING chip, channels that were not
present before will not be added.
Specifically what this means is if a premium
channel was not decodeable by the converter,
it will still not be decodeable by the
converter with the test chip installed. To
decode premium channels a second box with a
descrambler is sometimes used. Another method
used by cable companies is to place premium
channels on a different coax. Typically both
chips will allow testing of all channels that
the box is capable of receiving and decoding.
-
- KNOWN
PROBLEMS
-
- In some
areas on the United Sates, such as Dallas,TX,
Los Angeles, New York City, and others, the
AUTOMAPPING chip will not work properly.
There have been no reported problems with the
NON- AUTOMAPPING version, however.
-
- VIP OR
NOT
-
-
- To determine
which series box you have, look for the
series number 5503 or 5507 on the bottom,
front or back of the box. There MUST be a
suffix of VIP after the numbers. If the VIP
suffix is not present, you do not have a VIP
series box, and the test chips will not work.
-
- USE OF
CHIP
-
- The purpose
of these and all other test chips is to
enable full channel testing of the
descrambler/decoder. It is not intended to
defraud any cable service provider from
income due them. It is the responsibility of
the user of these test kits to comply with
State and Federal law in the use and testing
of descrambler/decoders. Purchase of any test
kit or chip does not imply that the user is
authorized to use this test kit or chip in an
unlawful manner. If in doubt, consult an
attorney.
