OK, so here is my problem. I have like 5 DCTs that are all old board. We recently had a firmware upgrade to the DCT and none of these have guide now. Also, my hard drive crapped a couple months ago and I dont have a backup.
So, I did have one box that was not modified and I hooked it up with a WHP 5/13 (return block) in line and it DID take the update and guide came back. HOWEVER, when I try to write the backup that I just made of this box to the other boxes, I get guide and everything, but ALL channels are black. When I put my backup back on that box, I get the channels back, but old firmware and no guide
I read the sticky (that is now closed) on which bytes to change to make these things update, but it doesnt mention the location for "old board". I tried to find the location by the ones listed, but there is all zeros in those locations.
How do I get these things back to download the firmware? Any info is greatly appreciated
