atmega to change net i.d

[Hennah04]

Hey, can anyone tell me how to use an atmega to change the net i.d on a v+ box?
I've used the funcard method on the old pace boxes, is it virtually the same? How do you get into the em on a v+ box? scientific atlanta.
What program do you use? toxic?
Thanks

This had reported limited success in the past , the only method that has every worked for me is buy lifting and reprogramming the 512 chip , or just blank it if your in pure

Hold up and down button during power up

never had an atmega fail on a blank chip. YET, lol.

use netid changer NetIDv2.1.7.2

Lucky 8astard , I had to have chips replaced when i done mine

when you sere putting the card in, did you look at the logs to see if 'access notification received' was coming up?

having it connected to a good (any) feed is also a good idea. if any of the tuner status whatzit thingys are red instead of green it wont go

access notification received, all tuner a boxes are green although input signal level is at -3 dBmV, probably because the frequency is incorrect?
When I was writing the atmega card using NetId v.2.1.7.2 my card writing program said there was a checksum error 4 with the int. file, is this normal?
So far the card hasn't worked. Booted into em, popped card in and no change. Does this mean I need to replace the 512 chip?

The way i do mine is using NetID v2.1.7.2 and a funcard

1.write net id card in this order exteep,inteep,flash then rewite the inteep a couple of times

2.Boot into engineers menu and set the frequency and pin

3.reboot box into engineer menu again

4.go to page 2 and insert your net id card

5.Press the reset button on front of box, remove card and let it boot back to engineers menu

6.On page 2 insert the net id card and the box SHOULD reboot and take the new id

This works for me in excw,ive tried all ways and this has worked now on 3 boxes

Think its the "magic" reset button that make a difference as a normal reboot dosnt work for me!

Just tried this, after setting the frequency I re-boot the box and the freq has gone back to it's default and the box won't reboot once I've inserted the net i.d funcard, looks like a nogo

[Hennah04]

tried same process with atmega, no success, looks like I have to replace the chip. Where's the best place to get one?

Oh, got the freq to save now but the net i.d card isn't causing the box to re-boot or anything, just giving it a credit limit of £5150
