6 months ago or so I toom an old Dishnet 3900 and converted it to Bev by writing a file that I downloaded called 3900c to the 3900. It worked great until the recent update, now when I change the channel I get an error message "ATTENTION 005". I understand that my IRD needs to take the update, but due to the fact it isnt really a Bev 2700 I cant get it to update in the stream. When I try to write a current Bev 2700 TSOP to it, it starts writing at %75, then finnishes, but it wont work. Any ideas?

did your try the check switch? you could also try to erase sa5 and try it in the strem, it should take the update.

What are you using atmega/avr/plastic??? LOCKS??

I have tried to to erase sa5 to take update, doesnt happen, tried everthing to update in stream, and nothing works.

I am using Dishnet 3900 with no locks installed, and ROM10 plastic.

I have found some posts on another site that I think holds the answers I will post them here though I havent tried them. As soon as I do I will post my results. Here is the offered suggustions from guys who seem to know what they're talking about:

Converting a 3900 to bev 3700c
The trick is to make a 524,288 file = 2097,152
I used the good old fashioned DOS copy /b command to add
4 bin files together. (Instructions are next)
Run flashedit 1.3.1 on your 3900 tsop bin, note the build config.
Get the latest bev file for a 2700/3700 (rev E355)
Run flashedit on this file, put in ird#, boxkeys,fix crc and change the build to the one you saw in the 3900 file. Note the s/w version box and model id.
Save this file as 1.bin to an empty directory. Copy this same file to the same directory 3 more times, renaming as 2.bin 3.bin 4.bin
You should now have 4 indentical files. In DOS or a DOS shell type in:
copy /b 1.bin+2.bin+3.bin+4.bin 5.bin
5.bin is the output file, 2097,152 in size.
Run flashedit on this file, select 3900 as ird model. Edit any incorrect info in the s/w version box, model id box.
Save this file. Load this file into your 3900 tsop, watch tv.
==============================================


Take a 2700 (or 3700) tsop from BEV (2700.bin) copy it 3 more times (2701.bin, 2702.bin & 2703.bin). you will now have 4 tsop bin (512kb each). click Start -> run and type "cmd" you will now have a DOS box, go to you bin location and copy all 4 files into one with: copy /b 2700.bin + 2701.bin + 2702.bin + 2703.bin 3900.bin (the 3900.bin will have 2Mb size). load it up into flashedit and correct the CRC, save it and made a valide EEPROM,

Reflash you 3900.bin & eeprom into you dish 3900 and voila you now have a modified 2700
