    Works good for what it does but if what its missing is what you need, "hope" may not do it. If anyone wants to buy mine (3 weeks old). 100USD, PM me. Thanks.

    I know, but it has enough bells and whistles to make up for it.

    Here today gone tommorow, thats the problem with all these FTA boxes. Im sick of them pandering to card sharing while leaving the true fta crowd out in the cold. I also dont want to be held hostage for future updates! D510 Mini-Itx (Intel) $75 CAD Mini-Itx Case and PS $50 2.5" HD (I already...

    Ya I figure it has to be at least X4500 video and a dual core atom for 1080p. I have a Athlon X2 on a matx board I might just underclock and undervolt that.

    Hey, Just google "Ali Universal fixer 1.4b" I would post it but I wouldnt want to step over the line and post something that's borderline hacking.

    I give up, couldnt override the Universal LNB settings with a 5150/10750. Main code is encrypted and although "Ali Universal Fixer" will unpack the LMZA encrypted Main code section so you can modify the custom ID or overwrite values, it doesnt work on the m3602. Hopefully they either fix the...

    I found a ID list for m3602 chips and a Utility (ali universal fixer) to patch firmware for older Ali DVB-S stb's, doesnt seem to work on the m3602. There is also a hardware mod to cut out the decoder that im looking into also.

    Still playing with Hexworkshop, looking for a needle in a haystack. No decent decompilers for MIPS really exist (although Hex-Rays has a awsome x86 decompiler), really couldnt find a disassembler that fit the bill either. I contacted Ali looking for a source for a dev board and sw tools for...

    Hey Guys, How hard would have been to add a 5150/10750 22Khz Lnb option? From what Im getting from comparing from thex files from all these different boxes they are all very similar and then slightly modified. Im playing with hex editors and disassembler's to try to get a 22khz option to work...

    Hey, I really pick up on any real changes in that firmware rev. I flashed the box with Ferguson Ariva 100, Az_America 900HD firmware. Froze the box both times (easily recoverable though) . Right now I have the firmware open in a hex editor trying to swap the boot loader with the main...
