510 vs 811 vs 311: Which is most difficult and why?

[Trapofmind]

I thought it would be interesting to read peoples opinions on which IRD is harder to test: 510, 311, 811.

None are beginners receivers.
The 510 if conventionally vid modded, may be a bit tougher than the other 2, but justa bit. If R44 modded, piece of cake. W/ married card, no hassle at all.

I have done several 510 now, and I am having a bit of a problem with the latest one. I guess all my others were the same build so I have one TSOP and card image for all of those, but this new one is a DC8D. I am having trouble finding an updated TSOP. I have a P80 that I used to marry the HD but it wont update.

I was looking to get a few 311's cuz they are rather cheap right now.

Convert you virgin P080 DC8A to a "moved bootstrap" tsop and remove SKs, sit will marry and update just fine.

I have done a few 311 not a big deal. Dont know about the others.

I did that and it sits on the update screen for hours: 061 "vital programming...don't disturb..status: acquiring sat"

This is DC8D, I don't know if that matters, but my other builds didn't have this problem.

I got it to update, turns out my virgin p080 was a bit of a tramp.

Then I went a bit nuts with the 005 until I realized they changed an EMM on us.
