USBBDM installed & Software operational.
connect to cable box alligning pin 1 (tried flipping cable too)
with USB cable attached to BDM, cable box won't turn on
without USB cable, but with BDM cable, cable box comes on &
clicks off as soon as usb cable is attached.
I believe I'm right that there is no watchdog on PH8
DCT2224/1661/ACDEG
any help apreciated

thank you for the reply
I did eventually figure it out (see the duh comment)
copied nvram from our legit box and my ebay box came alive.
tv guide works
the box came from ky, we're in GA
free digital channels don't work (yet)
The unit downloaded the new firmware after I copied the nvram too... do I need to copy the legit fw for free digital channels?

one other question too. probbaly related to the box being from another area. when I use the legitemate firmware from my area on the test box, all I get is green lines and then the box resets over & over. earlier when I copied just the nvram the box self upgraded the fw to the latest, so I had a backup of this. My problem is in getting the applications across which I believe are also stored in the firmware. seems that there are many objects in the firmware, and only the main app is pulled from the cable stream, and not the app modules. If this issue is simply because the box is from another area... don't bother with any elaborate reply. since I have new boxes coming |
