Any thoughts - I've a Motorola DSR401DS receiver, used in past for Star Choice. It has a 160MHz Conexant Processor as mentioned above. Can this reciever be programmed with ViewSat files to recieve FTA ???
if it has a null modem, be a tester and try it. I personally doubt it, since star choice specifically use motorola receivers to prevent piracy, but thats nice thinking. If you are NOT using it for sub...I say try it, keep in mind receivers are 99 bucks from star choice, but I bet you will just end up getting errors when trying to load the file. If you manage to load the file, I'd be surprised if it works ever again, but you never know. I'd be interested in hearing what happens.
Thanks and no it doesn't have a null modem connector. I know we can do this in some of the fta recievers with conexant processor. Now how about if I take this Motorola Processor out and put it in my Pantec Ultra ( in place of the original STI processor); Will Pantec Mother Board support this?
There are a couple of threads in some forums on how to convert certain recievers so that they use viewsat bins. I dont know if starchoice is one of them. You can try and do a conversion, the worst that could happen is that it wont work and you have to undo the soldering and probably have to reflash the eprom via JTAG.
Your asking this ? and think you can remove that chip from your board and then retrofit it to the ps?I guess if you bend the pins just right. HEY! Check fleabay see if they some kind of SLOCKET for the chip.Try your AMD CPU or that old P2 500mhz.If the 500 works youll be set for ever.
It is obvious Jas has a receiver, he cannot use. If he wants to experiment, and just on the off-chance that there is some compatibility somewhere, he deserves to have the following info posted earlier in another thread.

If doesnt work for you, try E20A24 if you are using a clone.'
