Hello all,

After extensive reading througout the forums I realized that I needed to plug my receivers into the tv (and not the stream) to read what the system and card info is. Here is what I have found:

3700 receiver

Smart Card CA ID= Dont think I should say
DNASP003 Rev 381

Software Version= 766PCBNN-N
Bootstrap Version= 10PBCBNV
Location ID= E73FFA22

------------------------------------------

2700 Receiver

Smart Card CA ID= Dont think I should say
DNASP003 Rev 381

Software Version= 766PC766PCA0D-N
Bootstrap Version= 10PBCA0D
Location ID= 1F2F1A94


Can any of you make any sense of this? I am afraid that from what I have read that these cards may be locked. If so what is my next step? I haven't made any Dish Tools purchases (JTAG, ISO Programmer, etc) because I wanted to find out exactly what it was that I had and exactly what it was that I needed. Any hints, suggestions, and/or help you can give me would be much appreciated...I know that there is a great wealth of knowledge in these forums so anything is valued.

Thanks!

You have what appears to be ROM3 cards. Rev381 are stream locked. You'll need to have them unlocked by a dealer. Once unlocked, you'll need a 3.68MHz ISO programmer. But first and foremost, you'll need a Jtag device if you want to 'test'. A jtag will be your best friend, believe me!

Chapster,

So what do I now...I don't know any dealers. How do I go about finding someone with the capabilities to unlock my cards? Can you point me in some direction? Thank you for you help!

I will PM you as URLs are not permitted in these forums...
