The RID number comes from the AV chip. If you take a look at the uma6fix sources, you can find the code that reads it out.

I have not seen any indication that the BCM7022 video chip on the DTiVo...

Crypto chip (QFP Atmel) and AV chip (BGA AV1AWA). Then "clear and delete everything" on the new unit to avoid error 51.

You need one tuner for each transponder (i.e. frequency) from which you want to record. You can use the birthday paradox to guesstimate this number, although you might luck out and find that they...

An interesting bit of trivia: the tuners in the Series2.0 DTiVo (CX24108/9) can take a stacked signal without the need for a destacker.

This may require a (relatively simple) software patch.

Are they using RS232 or TTL voltage levels?

Many devices omit the level converter chip (e.g. max232) because it is not used once the unit is deployed to the customer. The first generation device...

I have seen Series2.0 units get into this state, but it is generally curable by removing and re-inserting the access card.

Since the IRD is able to assert/deassert the ISO7816 reset line, the...

The admin/mod list is under View forum leaders.

Earlier in this thread, I suggested monitoring the HDMI ioctls. If you post the logs, somebody may have insight into what is going on.

It might be useful to hook up the HR10 to a computer LCD...

It would be interesting to know what daemon is generating this activity.

Just noticed that there is a DOA HR20 on ebay: link. One could extract the BGA flash from this unit, dump it into a file,...

In general, standby mode causes the video outputs and green LED to be turned off. I am not aware of any software revision in which the hard drive or anything else is powered down.

On the HR10,...

A while back somebody wrote a TSReader plugin that could pull (Echostar) firmware updates off the satellite. This sort of approach may be less costly than surgery.

The DBStalk thread is here:...

You can create a dynamically linked binary that runs on all "LSB" compliant distributions:

Typically, very little progress is made that way.

I am disappointed to see that the guy who lobbied so hard for an HR20 forum and finally got his wish, has nothing to post in it.

A reasonable...

The CPU and hard drive definitely seem to be on the low end.

Competing boxes will continue to develop better and more responsive user interfaces. The bloated and slow (but ever so friendly) TiVo...

Yes, it looks like quite a few of the necessary helper daemons are missing in 6.3.

We can all thank the "4.0.1b E-Z Guide" and "Zipper" folks for making sure MRV hacking was prominent and...

Moved to general discussions.

I have no problem if you want to share information on HR20 internals, ondisk formats, software mods, extraction, etc. In fact, many of us would be interested in...

If I recall correctly, the kernel module works OK for phone downloads, but satellite downloads are handled differently and are not written to disk in the clear.

As others have mentioned, pulling...

Like the original Series2.5 boxes, the serial port is on ttyS1.

Unlike the original Series2.5 boxes, "console=0,115200" is needed to see kernel log messages.

Perhaps a glance at the source tree...

Around here we call those units Series2.5. Series2.0 and Series2.5 units use a slightly different ABI to access the OSD. It is possible that your application has not yet incorporated those changes....

The TiVo software appears to produce one 32-bit word for every byte of the WEP key. The first output word (52) is merely a count of bytes in the entry, and is not significant to us.

The mapping...

Each byte of the output is a constant xor'ed with zero or more (specific) bytes from the input. An easy way to spot this pattern is by noting that specific bit(s) get flipped in the output when a...

FWIW, he hasn't logged in for over a year. He got what he wanted, then vanished. Just like all of the other complainers.

So much for "breaking the mold." :rolleyes:

Still not sure why you chose to have this done in one of the most expensive labor markets in the country. From what I've seen, people on DDB usually charge about $50 for socketing.

What do you...
