With a ext 721 error, it sounds like your using activation and your tiers are falling off, you need an up to date list to refresh them. GTG.

Here's the latest tier list and some easy-to-follow instructions on how to write an act script.

It sure is, DZ...two things to remember in light of the recent hash bash...fuse byte needs to be set at 25DA (easy to check, easy to change if necessary) , don't apply tier locks and don't check "prevent tier wipes" in the activation options box. They create big targets, and the 01FE fuse byte that we were all using to prevent 711 nags will not work, period.
Your tiers will fall quicker, you should write several tiers for the channels you watch the most, and the ones that are prone to drop off quickly, like HBO, etc. But..at least you will have some TV, it just takes a little more effort.

SQEclipse, that happened to me once..solved by selecting another eeprom. My original eeprom was a sub bin that DID have tiers...so I have no idea why I got that window. Never bothered to check further.
Someone have an idea as to the problem??

I shall give it a try!

...can i check ADD TIERS ONLY??

[Chief]

Sure, Smoot, shouldn't be a problem...

Drummond, it's not the expiry dates that are causing that problem....DTV wipes the lower 500 tiers, locals and sports channels several times a day. What you need to do is repeat the tiers when you write your act hex....you might have to write the tiers for those channels 10-12 times. Since there's a limit to how many total tiers you can write, you may have to sacrifice some seldom-watched channels to accomplish this.
There are several tier locks available, but they don't work well at all...at least most that I've seen. The Orcus Tier Locker V2, part of a 3m/activation script that I posted the other day, works SOMEWHAT. It helps, but is not completely effective, either.That wasn't the case 3 months ago...but now DAVE hashes them, big time.

Yes, sir ! Do all of your tier work right there. As to the tier lock...if you decide to try that one, it's a separate hex file that you add to your card, AFTER you write your act hex to it.
