[timidgeek]

Am first time poster, have been doing lot of reading & watching.
Need to know if there is a jtag & locks avail for model 2150???
No jtag opening, but highspeed data port on back.
Can this be used same way???

The following models HAVE the JTAG port included:

2700, 2800, 3700, 3800, 3900, 4700, 4900, DP301 (3100), PVR501 (5100), 6000 .

Look on the bottom of your IRD, if it has a rectangular porthole with some solder plated pads on the motherboard, then you've got JTAG,some 301/3100 models have EJTAG interface some where on the motherboard that can be used.


The following models do NOT have the JTAG port available on them, just the high-speed serial port on the back:
2000,21xx, 2200, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, DP7100, and the DP7200.

For the NO-jtag IRDs, you might be able to use a method to get into the TSOP called Grey-box method. It is quite complex and not for newbies.

can you use mc in them without sub or card????

[007bluerock]

also, where can I find info on the grey box method...
I don't have card with my 2200 & might as well get feet wet, if possible..
