[red]

Hi i was given a explorer 8300 its not modded and im i just want to use it for the free channels to record etc. im in pure area and when i plug the box in it justs get s stuck on ap52 and won't find the correct net id. is there any way of sorting this. i thought from reading the posts that in pure area net id should find itself. any help would be great cheers in advance people

hi m8 to set net id on that box u could try fun/atmega, but i belive sometimes that can be a pain to do, the only sure way is to lift the 512 chip blank it then re prog it with ur area, that will work..

The box is probably not from his area , the fun/atmega trick only works on blank chips with the net id set to 099999 , it will have no affect on an already programmed chip.

It's not a good idea to force an update on these boxes as it can mess up the software (or so i've been told).
