Default Doorstops ????

Anybody been able to mod the samsung 2110c without paired card yet? Been reading for about 2 years now that sum kinda new software was getting released to enable these boxes to modded. Are they worth keeping or should we just start throwing them away? Any info would be great! Thanks in advance.

Subs are only cheap with VM , cheaper than Sky...

And to answear the question the only known way to get a BK for 2110 is to use the VM engineers PDA ( if your lucky enough to own or have access to one ).

There was a tool being develped for all boxes to extract the BK via the ethernet port but i don't think they had much luck with the samsungs , or don't want to release it just yet.

Anyway you may aswell chuck them in the shed etc , they have no other use so may aswell wait and see if theres any development in the future.

PACEs and Scientific Atlantas also have ethernet ports mate. Yes, they are used to connect to the internet as back in the time of N*L, you could get broadband through your set top box. The V+ also has an e-SATA port but their is no use for that port as far as I am aware (not yet anyway but I heard that VM will be implementing the use of external e-SATA HDDs in the future).

Just would like to say if any of you are having a blonde moment, dont use them as doorstops, youll only bring the cold and the snow inside

...... Terrible joke, I know

The 2110 without a paired card are a doorstop.. if someone does release a fix dont think it will be made public..

Cleaned this thread up a little bit, as it was going off topic.
