Just got my usbBDM today, but not sure how to get it up and running. I have 2 boxes. both are dct 2244/1161 boxes (one is abcdefg and the other is acdeg). they both power up and work with my cable provider.
I pay for one of the boxes and bought one off ebay. the box i pay for has a ph6 board and the other one i got off ebay is Cr4? Anyways... I took one of the legs off the C105 capacitor , but everytime i try and connect the BDM the power on the box shuts off (this happens with both boxes). Is there something else i'm suppose to do?

I can communicate with both boxes now, but could someone help me with cloning my box? Not really sure where to go from here. Thanks

u bought the wrong box from diferent area.
if u wana get those channels u beter find someone that seels a box in your area and paid for all channels use that box to clone your nvram and u get all the channels that guy had.
bdm is good for testing fixing boxes like forcing firmware updates repaiering dead boxes and other stuff u cant crack the deciper 2 best way is to do what i said find a box for sale in your area
u live in illinois? what provider

Why wont this box work?
The guy i bought it from lived in the next state and probably did have it on the same provider. I've already updated the firmware on the box I bought to 7.93... all i want to do is get the same digital channels i recieve on the box i paid for on it.. why should I buy another box? they're both the same model dct 2244/1161, but different MB's and ABC etc numbers

also... just to make sure i'm doing it right...
When i clone the nvram this is what I'm suppose to do, correct?
open the usbbdm software, click on the nvram tab at the bottom, type
reset 1 init getram 200000 40000 savenv
then connect to the box I want to put the nvram on and type
reset 1 init ldram 200000 setram 200000 40000
and that's all or is there more i have to do?

I only have a certain amount of movie channels on the box I pay for..
I get 112 115 209 735-760 764 767 768 and a few others...
I don't think the other box went past 60 before i did anything.. Now it seems to go to 100.... it'll go as far up as i want it, but a lot of the channels say unauthorized..

is there some special way you have to hook up the usbbdm? sometimes as soon as i plug it in it turns my box on and i cant communicate with it... Do i need to go into diagnostic mode or something?

Question.... I'm trying to change the firmware on a box, but it doesn't seem to take the firmware. I'm trying to go from 7.93 to 7.54, but it still shows 7.93 in the menu. this is what I'm doing...
I first load my backed up NVram by doing this
reset 1 init ldram 200000 setram 200000 40000
I then load the firmware by doing this..
reset 1 init ldram 400000 (then select the firmware) program (I only see intel on my board so that's what I select) reset
Is there another step i'm not doing?

You don't happen to have a bin for Comcrap? The one that I have is missing over half.

having a bin from a box won't get you any premiums.
