First bit of advise is do not mess around with the equipment you are renting off the cable company.

With that particular box there are 2 methods of retreiving the BK & IRD but you would need specialist equipment.

1 : If you have a paired card you need and Unlooper to retrieve BK & IRD

2 : Without a paired card you would need to JTAG the motherboard to retrieve the BK & IRD.

JTAG POINTS

Once you have the BK & IRD you would need to write yourself a card either by using a funcard or the original MOSC card supplied.
