What is an Addressable Cable Box ?
An addressable cable box is the most common type of box supplies by the cable companies. It allows the cable companies to send a signal through the cable line to your box that will selectively turn on or off premium channels. It is this technology that allows the companies to offer pay per view movies that turn on the movie that you request and then turn it off as soon as the movie ends. However, both addressable and non-addressable units have the ability to receive all premium channels. 4.
