Do you have a subscribed card? Are you plugged in to the phone line?

 

[EMJ32]

Card is subscribed to basic and I had it enhanced. No phone line hook up.

hey mize thanx for the e-mail.

this is a common problem and here is the info your looking for,i keep it posted on my site at all times because it must be the most asked ?? on hu's,

having problems with the TZ on your ird,here's what ya do,

go into the menu and find the limit's option,
Set your spending limit on your receiver to correct your
time zone,

RCA Receivers: Go to options, then spending Limit and enter your code there.

Huges Receivers: Go to setup menu, then Limits and enter your code there.

Sony Receivers: Go to options menu, then locks and limits than spending limits and enter your code there.

Use the following codes:

Pacific 000

Mountain 002

Central 004

Eastern 006

Atlantic 008

Newfoundland 010

Note: After changing your time zone pull the card out of the receiver and put it back in. If it did not work pull the card a second time and it will work.

remember,every time you unplug the ird you will have to repeat these step's


there is s/w that will also do this for you at the time of programing if you paid for the right stuff,a couple of freeware programs out there are also pretty ok if you want to try e'm,look for extremhu,arrowpoint2.1 or canberts freebee4.1 are all good free net s/w.

yes,this trick's the ird to accept the los pardos tiers on a 5th gen ird,note the message under the singnal strength:improper cabling,this should only be done on cards were the usw counter is already set to 02.

all the 400 channels are displayed in spanish on the guide,all the 2000 and 3000 channels say regular programing in the guide so you'll have to guess whats on,kinnda like ku band wild feeds.

it's trying to defeet a firmware update with very simple menu settings not a good long term fix but it will work.
