# Ghost Cable: Support & Administration Guide

Welcome to the official support documentation for the Ghost Cable network.

Our core philosophy is absolute network stability and direct, human-to-human support. We do not use automated chat bots, generic ticketing queues, or outsourced help desks. When you reach out to our team, you are speaking directly to the network administrators who provision your nodes and maintain the grid.

This guide outlines our official communication channels, how to request diagnostic passes, and the best ways to format your support requests for lightning-fast resolutions.

*Unseen. Unthrottled. Unstoppable.*

## Official Support Channels

To maintain operational security and ensure fast response times, all Ghost Cable support, ledger updates, and custom routing requests are handled through our dedicated, encrypted direct-messaging channels.

Operating Hours: We monitor channels daily. Standard provisioning and non-emergency support requests are typically handled within 24 hours.

#### Direct Contact Methods

* Telegram (Fastest Response): `@Nucl3arTurtl3`
  * *Best for:* Urgent support, fast troubleshooting, 1-on-1 diagnostic traces, and direct ledger adjustments.
* Text-Only Support Line: `(604) 359-9338`
  * *Best for:* Quick inquiries, renewal checks, and offline text communication. Voice calls are not monitored on this line.
* WhatsApp: `@ghostcable`
  * *Best for:* General inquiries and international clients who prefer WhatsApp architecture over Telegram.

> Security Note: Ghost Cable administrators will *never* ask for your banking passwords. All official transactions and tier upgrades should be processed securely through our verified portal at ghostcable.vip.

## Sales & Diagnostic Trials

Never blindly commit to a network. We encourage all prospective users to stress-test our zero-buffer pipeline on their own hardware during peak traffic before securing a permanent ledger spot.

#### 1. Requesting a 24-Hour Diagnostic Pass

To claim a fully unlocked, 24-hour diagnostic node, reach out to `@Nucl3arTurtl3` on Telegram or text `(604) 359-9338` with the following information:

* The hardware you will be using (e.g., Nvidia Shield, Firestick 4K, PC).
* Your preferred media player app (e.g., TiViMate, Smarters).

#### 2. Upgrading to Permanent Packages

Once your trial is complete, you can select your permanent loadout at ghostcable.vip:

* Wraith Package: Single-node connection. Perfect for solo viewers and dedicated desktop setups.
* Demon Package: Multi-connection household grid. Run simultaneous streams across different rooms on a single unified ledger.

If you need a custom multi-connection setup that exceeds the standard Demon package, message the admin team directly for a custom infrastructure quote.

## Reporting Network Issues

If you experience hardware decoding conflicts, blank EPG (Electronic Program Guide) cells, or rare network drops, providing the right information upfront allows us to run a diagnostic trace immediately.

#### The Troubleshooting Checklist

Before sending a support ticket, please verify the following:

1. Restart Your Hardware: Completely power cycle your streaming device and your local internet router.
2. Force an EPG Update: Navigate to your app settings and manually refresh your playlist and EPG.
3. Check Decoder Settings: If you have audio but a black screen, toggle your app's Video Decoder from "Hardware" to "Software" (or vice versa).

#### How to Format a Support Request

If the issue persists, send a message to `@Nucl3arTurtl3` or text `(604) 359-9338` using this template:

Issue Report:

* Hardware: \[e.g., Firestick Max]
* App Used: \[e.g., TiViMate]
* Specific Issue: \[e.g., The UK Sports category is failing to load, or VOD movies are stalling.]
* Steps Taken: \[e.g., Restarted router and cleared app cache.]

Providing this exact layout ensures we can pinpoint whether the anomaly is a localized hardware conflict or a server-side routing issue that requires an admin reset.
