1. With the odd circuits tsop lock version c, is the eprom lock also built in or do i have to do a different type of mod?

2. I backed up the two DT tsops and eprom. my file sizes for each tsop was 4096 and the eprom was 8k. did i get it all?

3. The receiver came with the yellow card (one of those refurbs). i check flash 2 address 7FFFFFAC and came back all 0000's. I have not put the new receiver in the stream yet. From what i have read, all 0's means it will accept any card. i am going to go camless mc. also my software is p069. should i still do the stream update or lock the tsops down now?

4. in camless mode mc, should i use rom 2, 3, or 10?

Things are going good to this point for me. jtag no problem. I just want to make sure i am on the right track and ensure i understand the odd circuits component as i am unclear, other than the tsop, what it is locking down.

I'm still finding my way so take this with that warning... but it's my understanding that the MC will only work with the current firmware update on the receiver. That said you will have to update in the stream before locking down the TSOPs.

I'm having trouble getting my refurb 501 to display audio and video with my MC programmed in ROM3 camless mode so I'll be intereted in your success. My 301 works great with MC except for the same guide and tier issues that everyone else has.

Good luck and post your results.
