So I just bought my BT Vision Box for £16.40 Delivered! :).
Few questions:
1. Do I have to have BT Vision activated on my BT account for the DVR/EPG to work?
2. Do I have to be connected to get the EPG Info and use DVR?
3. I've got WinCE apps I would like to use, Can I just use them vanilla or do I have to mod my box?
Thanks!
1. Do I have to have BT Vision activated on my BT account for the DVR/EPG to work?
Officially, yes.
2. Do I have to be connected to get the EPG Info and use DVR?
Officially, yes.
3. I've got WinCE apps I would like to use, Can I just use them vanilla or do I have to mod my box?
You need to mod your box.
However, one you've installed a mod chip (see the wiki), then all sorts of possibilities potentially open up.
Hmm, Annoying. So do I have to use a modchip to enable to use the DVR/Freeview without BT?
Unless you can emulate BTs servers (complete with certificates), yes. :(
glad you checked all this 1st b4 buying the box lol :)
the current bt .net exe can be tweaked somewhat but not to any functional degree, but linux + others may be available with some developments done by some ppl far more talented than me !
And If I want this modchip, Where would I buy one? My skills are really not good enough to build one Lol.
What are your soldering skills like? I have no problem programming a mod chip for you, but you'll still need to solder it to the motherboard.
My soldering skills arn't great, but If its a simple wire to motherboard type thing, I can do that. :)
Can you make me a modchip then?
Sorry, yes I can do you a mod chip. Have you checked the wiki and micks howto to see how it's installed?
PM me your address and I'll get one sent over.
Hi 'xmob' how much do you charge for the chips inc p+p as I fancy doing the mod ( v good soldering ) I have just downloaded the info etc.Latest - I have bought the chip and am getting around to building the circuit.
