re-settting ppv pin?

**king132** · 9th October 2004

ive tried using the blocking method and then re-booting in engineers menu to reset the pin but i cant seem to change it, stays as ****.

I basically have a chipped box in my room but theres a subbed box (not chipped) downstairs, if i block the ppv on the subbed box and then phone telewest to unblock it for me, will this re-set the ppv pin on the chipped 1 in my room???

AFAIK, the above method only works on the 4000 boxes, after locking the password and then unsucessfully unlocking it within the Eng menu the PIN will be displayed as **** but you will be able to now go to the PIN option and change it.

I doubt it very much indeed and personally I would not have a dodgey box plugged in at the same time as the subbed one whilst the cc are sending an hit or monitoring your connection or whatever.
If your box is a 1000 or 2000 then you will have to pull the jumper then use libby to reset the net id and then set pin and freq manually.
