And, somehow, I'm not surprised. Go to your Locksmith and have a new set of Keys punched out. In the last few years, this is a rather common phenomenon with Comcast. Where I'm from, they change the Keys every 9 months. Maybe you know how to write a new set back to your STB. Nah, you'd stand a better chance of being the Lord Almighty than that happening. Goodday.

Yea, sure - the flavor of this site and what the Admin has done since 2005 makes it a rewarding experience. But, when they update the Keys on STB's, I get ornery for a few days. Reason being that it's one of the few issues that will NOT be discussed out in the Forum in the slightest. It's taboo. I've been unsuccessfully seeking data on this subject for a few years. No peeps nor squeaks about Keys and how to write them back to the box. Slightly disappointing. Goodday.

All Channels are down here too
It's happened here too. All the channels on all boxes are gone including my Tivo, not even locals. I haven't seen anything like this before. It is not like some channels are gone to "Not Authorized" due to the Key Change. Absolutely all channels are suddenly showing "One Moment Please", it doesn't look like a key change, it seems to me rather like a new Channel Map but the boxes won't update even without any blockage. It feels like someone cut the cable but all the levels are good both Inband and OutOfBand and they won't update the channel map or TV Guide for unknown reason. The firmware is up to date including the App Code Modules but channels won't open except 2 or 3 that coincidentally have the same properties with the old ones. Really weird situation. I wish I had a new NVM from this area available but I don't have any hopes, not many posters from the MidWest.

no more free hd tv
all channels are now encrypted even the basics, to close the internet loophole of free tv from the fcc!

Yea, I've heard that rap but it hasn't hit my boxes here in Phila PA. Free TV is still OnLine and unencrypted. However. There has been a Key change that hit the area like a Smart Bomb. Last one was on Oct. 13. Which means that Phila Pa get updated Keys every six (6) months. Isn't that just special ! Somebody with any level of genius has gotta step up onto the Soapbox and lay down a track of how to write updated Keys back to the STB's in a situation as such. I'll pay a reasonable sum to start the process. And please - if any of the Authority here doesn't cozy up to that, well, you know ...........

The original bin 3.46 won't work on mine because when I remove the blockage to update all boxes go to boot-loop. After upgrading to 3.57 from downloaded bin there is no boot-loop anymore and all 4 app codes are loaded but the boxes don't have a new NVM and it won't update itself for unknown reason. A new NVM will probably work fine even on the old plat code but I can't find one here in the West. Anyone from Colorado?Skyhigh wrote:I had 1 box yesterday showing One Moment Please on all channels, just wrote the original bin back.. let it update again..then locked it back up and all is fine again...cant say what the prob was...

A real solution would be for us to start a type of IKS server that we can somehow connect to the serial ports and decrypt the keys. A setup similar to that of DN setup... I am sure that
KillSwitch will jump in here with some smartass snide remark geared towards me, but at least I'm thinking whereas all he's doing is handing petty useless insults out.
And I second getting into FTA if you are looking for a long lasting solution the only real loss would be AMC. Which most people can download whatever it is there looking for.

Maybe instead of bitchin about it you can take the time to figure it out instead of piggybacking off of other ppls work, there's an ideaKillswitch wrote:Yea, sure - the flavor of this site and what the Admin has done since 2005 makes it a rewarding experience.
