JTAG-My take

Post by Boxnut »

Hi people, new to the forum but old hat with JTAG. Since the days of satellite hacking, I have noted that nearly all testers are more concerned with getting more speed from their cable modem, or extra packages on their PVR = theft of service that I don't condone.
I have taken old dish and direct IRDs and made them free to air, nothing wrong with that.
What people overlook is you JTAG a device, you own it. I am into a lot of communications projects, SDR, scanning, and such.
I even turned a Samsung IRD into a radio astronomy box for monitoring solar flux and EMR across the spectrum to 26 Ghz.
Those newer cable boxes make for great QAM front ends for digital communications. They have unknown capabilities beyond most awareness.
The newer OLED 4k TVs, JTAGing those either for service or modding to what ever you choose.
I see JTAG testing going downhill save for the few like me.
Explore the possibilities.
