Getting Rogers/Shaw 'ME TV' Service Free by Angel of Death ======================================== For those of you who do not know what Me TV is I suggest you close this file now. But if you know what your sort of doing then read on... 1.) Okay, Step One you need to locate the Rogers Cable Box somewhere around your house. I heard that the newer houses built have the boxes in the garage but that is not yet confirmed. Now this box is probably right beside your BC Tel box, but this one is bigger. It is usually gray with a metal cylinder on the bottom for security purposes. Here is a Text Diagram, not very detailed but you have an idea of what to look for. ________ ____ /_______/| /___/| |_______|| | || <=====( TELEPHONE ) | || |___|/ | || | | || <=====( CABLE ) |_______|/ || ** <=====( METAL CYLINDER ) 2.) Step Two, if you try and "unscrew" the metal cylinder it just keeps turning and turning, if it DOES happen to spin off then skip this step. Now there are two ways of removing this cylinder. Method One - is you can take a small allan key or screwdriver and put it up the VERY middle of the cylinder bottom pushing up and "unscrewing" at the same time. To explain this in more detail there is a small sort of 'button' device inside the cylinder. Rogers has a special tool that will push the 'button' in with no hesitance. So make sure the tool you are using is small enough to push the 'button' in. Yet, Another way is Method Two - push the cylinder forward towards yourself and apply medium pressure while turning the cylinder at the same time and it should either pop off or spin off easily. Although this method may cause damage to the box or cylinder I recommend Method One. You don't want to bring heat to yourself. 3.) Once you have removed the cylinder, remove the cover by sliding it down. Now you'll see a bunch of cable, a Y-Adapter (Cable Splitter), and a item that looks like the cylinder you just removed but a bit bigger and with maybe a colored piece of tape, this is the "ME TV Blocker". It will look along the lines of this: ______ ( TO CABLE SPLITTER {OUTPUT})====> |=======|___||_|] <-------( TO MAIN CABLE LINE {INPUT}) ^------------( Colored Tape ) 4.) Now all you have to do is remove this cylinder looking device and plug your MAIN cable line into the Y-Splitter located at the OUTPUT end of the "ME TV Blocker". Now if you don't see this blocker but you know your area has "ME TV" the device is probably located on top of the telephone pole where the cable companies line meets your house. Be Careful if you are going to climb the telephone pole, big charges involved if caught. 5. About this Text file. ********************* This text file was written by Angel of Death.
