I understand this receiver is problematic but heres my story and after years of reading learning and playing not to mention learning how to use a pencil tip soldering gun I have finally hit the roadblock and Im turning to the knowledgeable members for their opinion. Heres the things that i did so far:
-PVR 5900 legit sub.
-remarried remanufactured hardrive successfully
-allowed virgin firmware to update successfully
-:mad:lost original TSOP on crashed PC hard disk
-now have PVR 5900 that has 005 nag regardless of any efforts made
I have read all forums on SK's and have written a ton of TSOPS to the point of knowing the line numbers by heart. I have concluded that without the original TSOP I can never get this receiver to act as a subbed unit. (Strangely enough my intention was to only replace the defective hard drive as this is the FOURTH unit I have purchased that had a disk error after 12 - 14 months of service).
My question to the pros is: Is this unit only going to work as a test unit with generated sk's or public #'s or can I unlock the card image to locate the correct subbed SK's and reflash or is that information only on the original TSOP?
