Your overall spending limit should be around $200 from DTV without changing it....
You also have a per-event limit.... You can change that if you like....
There's a ratings limit which can be changed quite easily....
Finally, there is a 25 slot limit.... If you don't pass the overall limit you can fill these before having to wipe....
As 001438 said, don't leave the phone line plugged in normally....
However, you will have to let the IRDs internal modem "phone home" at least one time a month to keep all your tiers updated.... Also, if you don't, you'll lose the ability to "order by remote".... Just don't forget to wipe first....

As you were told before, he won't get blacklisted as long as his subscription is kept current....
The Pay Per View spending limit has absolutely NOTHING to do with blacklisting....
My professional opinion is that you should read some more before trying to do anything to this poor man's card....
The very first thing you need to do is read the card and save the "bin".... Then I would consider having you or your friend subscribe to a 3M service such as Mili's.... THAT is how you enable all the channels....
Please go do some reading so we don't have to have unlooping lessons right from the start....

First did you backup the subbed BIN? If its a subbed BIN its not down. Did you use Mili's 3M? Did you just write the 3M to the card cuz it doesn't work that way. Read Mili's howto on applying a subbed to BIN's cam id to the template.bin. Thats probably where you went wrong if this is what you did. Read... read There are plenty of good posts here, then if you ask a question be specific on what your using.

Swangonum,
Why do you insist that his "subbed bin" is down? If it's truly subbed, it can't be down unless he's been blocked for not paying his bill.... If that was the case, he would receive an on-screen message....
What exactly are you experiencing? I think what you're seeing is the death of the 3M you used....
Sorry to say, I think you screwed the pooch by not saving the original "bin".... You do have options at this point.... The card is still good for testing....
Do some reading and consider Mili's "Bin and 3M" package....

If I'm thinking correctly here.... you should be able to snag the cam/zkt off the card. That will stay up as long as subscription is good. Your tier data is long gone though. So bring your subscription down to the 31.99 a month or whatever then. You have a few options, otherwise you have a test card.

Maybe....
Depends on if it's looped and how severe....
The original CAM is on the back of the card.... That's the easy part.... The ZKTs may be corrupt beyond repair and use....

001438,
No...the ZKTs for both cards are different.... Also, depending on the CAM, the tier info might be different.... Updates go in lots (so many cards at a time)....
The second part has me confused.... Are you talking about cloning one of the cards? Just changing the CAM won't do anything for you unless you have a modded box.... That would be a waste of technology wouldn't it?

Only if you're using it in a N0-ZKT IRD.... Otherwise, the tables wouldn't match and it would fail the test....
