Default Pin On Movies

ive been reading through some other forums trying to gather yet more information about this pin prob people are having with their stb when trying to access the movies.


i dont know how true this is and i probably wouldnt try it myself but some people are having luck with-

if you reconnect talk back, pull red jumper reset pin and force update again then leave on 5 mins, test movies disable talk back

This is not something ide try myself, but its there for someone to have a go if they want.

I had a M8, bring me a 4000 box the other night, it wasn't getting the PIN screen, it had an unidentified plain white card.

I went into the engineers menu and checked a few things, it wasn't getting a HTTP address and the TFTP server address was incorrect, so I pulled the jumper and started to reconfigure - reset the PIN, setup the TFTP server address as used by the internet. Still no PIN screen on the Movies.

I then made up a Funcard with the files off the gmail and tried that - it worked!! Went onto a Movie channel, no red button but after a couple of seconds loading appeared at the bottom right, then the PIN screen appeared, entered the PIN and was watching the Movie

I've no idea if the talkback is cut or not - it does have NTL branded EPG. Worth a try if you have no movies

well when i go on engineers menu and go on status monitoring ive noticed that it says two things failed to range and cant get down stream lock and i reckon thats what it is.

tee the network addressing on your engineers menu has it got numbers for all the diff servers/ip because ive only got 3 dvb mac address cm mac address and langley tftp server all the rest are 0s

To get the movies back you need to flash the nvram with a jtag with a know file that has pin working. This can be done on 4000,4010 and 2100. For the 2110c you have to flash the 1024k eeprom with a woking pin files.

If you've pulled the jumper, or the PIN isn't set - you'll need to go into the engineers menu to set it.
