Install VCII Plus Descrambler

**BOBHUSKER** · 03-18-2010 10:13 PM

Hello all,
I know there is no hack talk here so all I need is some help on how to hook up my used VCII Plus Descramber (came with no instructions) with my brand new Motorola 4DTV922 satellite receiver. I don't like removing screws without knowing what I am doing. If someone could direct me to a read me in this forum (I did search first), I would really appreciate it.

Good to meet you all. This looks like a great forum!! I am brand new to C-Band. I will try not to "Newby" you guys to death.
Thanks
Bob

welcome

to the forum

if I recall, there is no VCII programming that can be subscribed to so I dont think the board is even needed. Anything you want to subscribe to the DCII "board" (brain) in the 922 takes care of it. That is built in

You don't need the board, that was for analog subs, there are no analog subs offered to c-band home users anymore so don't put it in, it helps keep the 4d running cooler. I still have mine in my 4d to lazy to go back there to pull it out

Question? where did you find a new 4dtv?

Thanks Iceberg and TFTi1 for your comments. I got it cheap so it is no big deal. Not doing anything is nice and easy.

I bought it off of Ebay for $345.00 + $20.00 shipping.

I still have my old VCII module in just in case...

Even though we can't sub, there are still a couple active VCII channels up there.

If you do remove it, just make sure the receiver is unplugged.

Mine is still in there because ESPN, ESPN2 and The Weather Channel still can go FA at any time so it's like a perk when they do

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know a step by step procedure on how to install one? I am not what you call electronically gifted.

Remove the back cover

Slide in the VC2+ Module af far as it will go.

Replace the back cover and your done.

You missed a step Scott..

Step 1 - UNPLUG power to receiver

Very important step. Attempting to install with power on will likely blow out the VC2 board and/or 4DTV receiver.

To Remove: Unplug unit, remove screws for cover & cover, grab 2 tabs on bottom of module, slide out, replace cover & screws, plug unit in wait for boot up and your done
