dss question for ex67

[jer6969]

I have a question for you, I live in so. california and had my card fixed for the latest problem, I turned my tv on and channel's 5 and 9 say program not available in your area, what does that mean? I have seen this frequently on mlb season pass on some games, also there are two games on right now, dodgers channel 5 and angels channel 9, thanks in advance, also is there any way to get these channels, when it says program not available in your area?

thats the local blackout,your zip on your ird and card are set for your local market,i take it you have a fifthgen or a newer reciver.

if your doing your own card i take it your using stuff of the net,if not your dealer is.

if your doing your own look for a file called hutz,set the zip for another market and watch the so.cal teams try and play(sorry yank's fan from birth)you should only get blackout's on wed and sun and only on the games espn is airing,there listed but espn own's the right's to those night's and call all the shot's,they also own the right's to mlb ticket on ppv so it does'nt matter if your card is done or not.

football and basketball are differnt,the rights to the sunday ticket and nba leage pass are owned by d@$% so only your local market get's blacked out,they use your local nbc,cbs,abc and fox to rebroadcast the games and a paying sub has the local tier bytes set by them at activation.

by the way,open local channel tier's are the first place an ecm checks for code,if a person want's the 900's or a local byte set i tell them there on there own after that,i prefer to load without the local byte's set to on,think about it,a leigt card is not set to recive all the locals and keeping the card as close to a sub is the best thing to do..

cool thanks I thought it was another hashing attempt, i have someone do it for me,

 

[ex67]

if they havent been doing this for long or if they are using net stuff,tell them you got it from good athority not to set the locals open for more than one market or set the zip for all 0's,this will keep the line's of code on the card down,i use s/w with 3 lines,the other stuff uses about 150 lines,to fully explain it would take alot so think less is better like golf,would you rather shot 3 over par or 150 over??? get the idea..

ok now i don't know if something is going on, now all of my local channels 2-11 and 80 for pbs says channel not available, also I left the channel on 80 pbs, and when I went back into the room, it said searching for channel, what does all this mean

 

[ex67]

never heard of searcing for channel,signal yes.

if it says channel not avalible then the tiers were ethier set to fade properly or your card is being hashed again witch would led me to belive it has a public script on it.

did you reset the reciver before you put the card back in after it was updated,if not you'll get the same thing.

to reset the reciver no matter what kind,with the unit on remove the card and unplug it from the wall,with it unpluged hold the power and arrow down buttons at the same time for about 30 to 60 seconds,insert the card and plug it back in the reciver will power up by itself.

ok i know your saying "say what,with it unpluged,he's crazy" well i'm not,every electrical device still holds a minor charge when it's turned off or unpluged,what this does is drain that small charge safely quickly,you would have to leave it unpluged for about 20 hr's to dissapate the leftover charge,also remember as long as the unit is pluged in it is accepting a signal,if you know anybody run'n an emulation setup watch the data flow accross the screen without the reciver turned on only pluged in,unplug it and the data stops rolling.

i did not reset the reciever, I just put the card back in and I had all the channels, I am going to do what you said, so we'll see what happens, Your right it did say searching for signal not channel. thanks

if your not having bad weather than the reciver reset itself with the memory that was stored and m3m is definatly on that card.i'm run'n one right now with all the 900's open and i'm not getting the psb,but i'm also not using that file.

exe67, maybe you could help me with a problem that my friend is having.

my friend has an emu setup that was working perfectly. tonite, it would not work. cannot get logger to respond to pgm Processor Emulator program, com port is okay as a modem works off of it. when trying the test program, it seems to recognize the card as the message "Insert Access Card" changes to "Insert Valid Access Card" but no channel 100 video or audio. tried rebooting IRD, no luck.

the only thing i can think of that makes sense given the above is bad connection between logger board and com port, but the damn thing is only 2 months old so sure it is not that. any thoughts?

my friend needs to get this back up so he can monitor all the baseball games

thanks

sandwedge,
I got the same message with my EMU..I had a connnection wrong. Seems like you already had it up and running and then a prob? Usually the IVAC message is a connection problem.

hey skinnar,i know what ya mean...

sandwedge,first off you cannot run a modem off of the same comport,it will conflict,as a matter of fact you should not be using your cpu for any other reason but emu.

it sounds more like a .bin problem to me,the black list is out there,i had the same problem about 2 weeks ago,the only defence they have against emulation is the bl .bin file,try rebooting first,if that does'nt work
try deaux'n the card(remember to turn transition logging off first)clean the card,load a new .bin then re'aux the card,if ya need a good .bin let me know.

if all that does'nt work,remove the modem.

if your turning the cpu on and run'n the sle file and the inserting the emu board "don't",fire everything up,get a atr string,then plug in the ird and you should see the stream roll,this is the right way to turn it on.

you might not know it but your modem will do strange thing's on it's own like block communication without you being able to detect it.

try what i said above and if it does'nt work let me know and i'll try and find another solution,wright down all the info you can..

[sandwedge]

thanks exe67. i am not using the modem and emu at the same time, still have only one computer so right now it's either satellite or online the computer is used for emu'ing only when i'm not online with it, just saying that i know the com port is not dead as the modem will work with it.

i will try those steps later this evening, but i am confused how a BL problem would cause Pgm's test program not to work (the one that does not require the emu board to be connected, it just gets channel 100). i can't get this to work anymore which is why i thought it might be a board problem.

thanks again.

 

[ex67]

witch version of sle are you run'n,you should be using 3.0,any version below that can cause problem's.

one thing you must remember even though the program is pretty much untouchable,you still need a good .bin.

pmg's work is outstanding and i wish he would come back,there is no one else who can wright that program like he can!!!

here's a quote i recived--"DirecTV? are up to something starting last Monday. According to him they have a plan that will kill all the cards except the EMULATORS which they acknowledge they cannot hurt."--this is from a very well respcted source..

No, but was still a deal for a working computer with two 9 pin serial ports.
