access via ethernet

[jjxray71]

I have a newbie question? I connect my PC to the ethernet connector on the back of the VIP622. It finds my network and the unit is assigned to 192.168.1.103. I am getting correct pinging to the unit.

What do I need now to access and see the Drive in this unit?

You cant as far as I know.

The unit has a different OS and is also encoded. No way to access the hard drive.

The drive itself isn't encoded, the recorded show data on it is ... never say never ...

I Had A Previous Dish Unit That I Accessed And Installed Via A Linux Utility I Had Found. It Allowed Me To Access The Drive Info Via Its Ip Address. I.e Tivomad, Or Mfstools.

Is There Anything Out There Now I Can Use To Do This Without Hacking Into The Box Itself (don't Want To Open And Break Seals)

Once I Can Access The Drive I Have Tystudio That Can Decrypt The Shows To Mpeg4.

Tystudio is for Tivo ... is there a version that specifically works with the 622??

As a Network administrator and security analysis, I can tell you that dish has there programming locked tight on the 622, and with Linux it is possable to see the drive and you can format it, but anything beyond that like taking programming off of the drive is a no go because of the DRM management on the content. Even when you take the programming off of it, its unusable because of drm and encryption methods used. Anything beyond that is hacking and we all know what that will get ya
