no ZKT mod & IVAC w/ act???

Juice, here's your problem, and I don't believe it has anything to do with your work...
First, I have the ThankYou V4 act, which was just released, and the Flatbroke act, too. They are almost carbon copies of each other, formatted exactly the same....one has the tiers in a little different order, but other than that, there's no difference. Seems as if someone just used the other script as a template to write their own.

I am running the T/Y V4 in a modded IRD...but using a platinum subbed HU bin, with GOOD results for 3 days running. I have tried using the SAME activation script with P4 Cams, phony Cams, etc...and like you, I get 711 pretty quickly.

The problem is that due to the recent hashing in the tier area, it is imperative that folks running activation use bins with proper, uncorrupted, matched group keys...and that's not possible with a patched P4 cam or a phony one. If you have a good subbed HU bin, preferably one that has been naturally updated in the stream, use it...CLEAN your card with a premium cleaner first...then apply your bin, write your act hex, check "add tiers only" in the activation options box...don't check "prevent tier wipes" or add a tier lock hex. Don't change the fuse byte from 25DA. A month ago, we changed to 01FE as a 711 filter, and that won't work now. (Hashed)

Try that, I bet it works better.

Hey, Juice...your question makes perfect sense, as one of the main reasons for modifying a receiver is to eliminate the need for a valid bin. But, the game has changed, buddy...as of August 20...
That's when DTV started bombing activation...or rather, the area of the card that affects activation scripts. Before, bins with patched CamID's and ZKT's, P4 Cams patched to HU bins and run in modded receivers, phony Cams run the same way...all worked just fine - no longer -that bin needs to be a good sub, the higher the subscription level, the better - naturally updated, better still - if you're gonna run activation. There are a slew of tier locks posted out there that are supposed to prevent tier drops, a jillion ideas designed to stop IVAC, 711, etc....and so far, I haven't seen any that are effective enough to even bother writing them to your card.
If you run a 3M....then do your P4 Cam thing, it seems to work fine...and a modded IRD WILL help your tiers stay longer when running activation, so it's not a total loss. But, for right now, cobbled bins + activation scripts = problems, no matter what the receiver.

As to a good cleaning program...SuperClean is a fine utility...so is Starglitch 3.4.1. Both available in Mili's download section.

Hope that answers your questions... :)
