Howdy, I'm from Canada, I've been looking to see if anyone's been working on doing a firmware unlock on some of the Motorola Satellite Boxes to make them free to air, if not, I'm going to be sitting here with my JTAG and this here pile of Boxes to bring you a friendly file so you can point your dishes skyward for cheap, especially since these boxes are plentiful where I come from.
So far I've been informed that the 600 series shares the same firmware as the bigger commercial grade units and the HDD equipped ones, therefore I have a fair bit to work with
Disclaimer: My goal is not to *Steal* Paid service by ghosting serials, Merely only to set up the box FTA style (i.e like unlocking a cell phone and putting a custom OS on it Android Style).
So Far right now I've been looking at ways to trick the PVR function to run off a USB stick but I fear the front port is possibly USB 1.1
There might be a secret menu like on the Digital Cable box in the living room though but the same button combo doesn't work...
