Is there a way to reactivate the box. i plug it in and get the guide but no channels?

Will BDM make it reactivate can you add PPV?

The is not re-activated. It is just a "connect" BDM software has a feature called "connect box" can do the job.

For now if the box has the PPV enabled in XC chip, you will still have PPV, otherwise you need to wait until the SPI command be understood.

One member found that if the box is in the database of the cable company, simply "connect" the box will soon be disconnected by the cable company. A better way is to change the firmware to make the box always connected.

This is from old forum.

This experiment was done on my first testing box.

If you buy a box that is not activated, here is a way I found work to have the box "connected".
The box must be able to flip channel first and you see blank screen. You go to diagnostic screen and select "Current Channel Status" and you should see the "NOT CONNECTED".
Here is an example for firmware "07.85".

This is original code.

I am willing to make a "conect" firmware for each verion for you to download. It will put under news forum. If you have a request for specific version, please email me the original version of firmware.
