I think If we can communicate to the receiver like stargaze said through the RS 232 connector that could be great. I think we need to look into that option.

Played around with it tonight and got/sent data from a DSR-410.

What did you do? enlighten us.

Made a cable RCA to RS232.

Ran a software program from usbj

Sent data via (S)

Got data via (G)

I have a lot to learn about this but am very happy with progress.

CooL!

See, it only took a little bit of Yankee ingenuity.
Now the tests need to be done on the 920 & 922 to see what can happen.

I have one of those cables that came with one of my boxes. When I posted about it previously, no one had any idea what it was for. Now I think we know.

I'll experiment with a WSNET 410 that can't be used anyhow, but I won't with a good receiver.

I could not agree more it would suck to kill a 920/922.

This is a photo of the 2 cables GI put in the box with a DSR410 receiver. One has a female DB9 to 3.5mm and RCA, the other is a parallel to male DB9.

Do you have Continuity tester?

If so can you test tip and ring on RCA

Tip -> 2 or 3 (DB-9)
Ring -> 2 or 3 (DB-9)

Thanks

Im sure its just a basic TTL converter.

I was going to try this idea over the weekend.

1- Try to log the SPI (Only problem is I am not sure if DSR will allow without modded firmware)
2- Master Reset
3- Remap On G1-3 (Logging SPI)
4- Master Reset
5- Replay SPI commands from log
6- See if the maps come back without going back to G1-3

Really don’t think it will be that easy. However I will give it a try.

Connecting to the RS232 would be a nice trick. I the older computers still have a serial port and I have found this more stable then USB. I am glad someone smarter then me is figuring out how to remap the 4dtv receivers. Please supply a wiring diagram when completed so we can make our own cables.

Since the 4D was made in the day of Windows 95 and Pentium one's it's probably best to interface it to an old PC and OS. I knew I kept that P1- 200 and windows 95 machine for something

Don't want to give the 4D a heart attack with a Quad core

Lucky You!

I went with a dual core last time I encoded something in h264 I wish I had a quad.

I don't even have a dual core. I was just saying it may kill the 4D

Well since the BD software was written in 90's back to good old dos baby!!

Waiting on parts from Digi-Key reason for lack of updates.
