Default Pin Activation???

Hi Lads
Just done my first box (YAY) an SA4000, done U48 and U50, then did a fun card. Sly sports and the like work fine but when I go to the movies it says I have to activate pin!!! there's no 4 box's to input one. Been in the E.M. but can't see anything there. Any-one got any ideas???
All advice gratefully received
Thanks

ok how do you get into em, at the moment I'm turning it off - taking out the cable feed - turning it on and holding the up and down buttons at the same time. The menu I get is called the diagnostics menu and is 10 pages long. The only rteference to the word "PIN" in these pages is "PIN uninitialised"!!!
Is there another menu that I am unaware of???
Thanks for the reply

have done a funcard using toxic with the bk and ird, but never heard of a funcard with a net id and pin!!
This might be stupid question but how can I make one with a pin if it's not activated??

ur resetting box, so the pin will disapper

HOW TO Tutorial
Requirements
Inteep progger
Exteep progger
SwapBinHex
Netid_fun_v1.5.hex
Blank Funcard
Funcard Programmer (eg..infinity usb)


  • create an 'inteep file'.....open inteep progger (attached) enter your netid and password, click on save……. Name file netidinteep

  • create an 'exteep file' ....... open exteep progger (attached), you will recognise this as the toxic progger used to program exteep file for atmega card, enter your ird and bk numbers in relevant boxes and then click on save ……… Name file netidexteep

  • Move netidexteep file just saved over the SwapBinHex icon….this will transform the bin file you created in step2 to a hex file which you program into the exteep

4. now when u program the exteep onto a card it normally erases the card.......so first program theexteep… 'netidexteep.hex' onto the card once this is done then load and program the inteep… 'netidinteep.hex' and finally the flash….‘netid_fun_v1.5.hex’(attached). It is imperative that you do this in this order for it to program correctly.

5. reset your stb ...... depending on your stb normally by pulling the red jumper or disconnecting the battery in the sammy.

6. reboot stb and enter the engineers menu, check the netid , frequency and symbol rate readings in the menu. If you have reset the box correctly then netid should read 09999.

7. Set the correct Frequency for your area (this is done manually in the engineers menu).....90% of the time the symbol rate should be correct so you shouldn't have to change this (u need to check the stb manual to find out what this should be set at or alternatively check a working stb)

8.go to the page in the engineers menu that shows the netid (should be default at 09999)....NOW insert the funcard which u have programmed.

9. the stb should automatically reboot if everything is done right....If it doesn't self boot then reprogram the funcard and try again (making sure you reset the stb also (i.e. go through steps 1-7 again).

10. Once rebooted let the stb go through all the relevent firmware updates.....once it has been updated it will automatically reboot again.

11. once it has rebooted this second time you should get the normal screen on the tv stating an error message...... NOW remove the netidfuncard from the stb and insert the programmed viewing card for the box.
