Nice to see a couple of us still active, I also come back now and again and re read various articles, I also wonder what happened to some of the members, as we keep saying, always was the place to be and those late night chats were sometimes hilarious

Feeling a lot older than I was back in the early 2000s, that's for sure! Forums seem to have become internet history, so I guess we're all dinosaurs nowadays  Huh

Bloody hell.... 2023 already, just reading through some old posts and one that sticks out for me was the sad news when Bill2000 died many years ago, many knew him as refill Bill, I knew him personnely and stayed with him a few times in Bradford before he moved and set up shop inSpain... great guy and always full of fun, I still miss him and think of him often.
As for the rest of you reprobates, I see a few of you call in from time to time, like me, I often feel the need to call in and have a look through the posts, as has been said before, I have fond memories of this place, many late night chats and laughs, it was a great forum to belong to..
hope you are all well and a happy 2023 to you all  Wink

I’ve been able to flash the firmware to my 3100 several times and can confirm that the same issues are also present on my end (no recording, no signal on tuner 2). The reason for this is that the firmware appears to be based off of EPG 4.20.a, which stopped recording in 2017, as well as all EPGs below that (I have a large collection of old Sky equipment). The fix could be to somehow port this hack over to the newer firmwares, such as 5.08.6.

Hi All,
Thought I'd fill you in on something I learned about this 3100 software patch in 2021...
So, like everyone else, in 2017, the PVR ability stopped on my Pace 3100, but I can still play back and feed 2 still has a signal.  
I have never used a paired card with this one, just a really old one a friend gave me years back, so annoyingly, I've had to put up being caught on the wrong side of the "HD swap" (i.e, ITV2 HD is 118 which I can't get so I have to go to 818 for example).
 
Anyway, since 2017 I have not lost the ability to play recordings back, and still have this ability to this day, it still lets me set recordings but it fails when it goes to. Which is interesting.
But here is my discovery, so the other day, I put an active card in this unit one with a genuine paid sub on it and set something to record, normally, this would fail if the card was not paired to this box but this not only set but it recorded the programme! - and it plays back! (I recorded from BBC One to be clear).
When I swapped the cards back, i lost the ability to record again but the programme I recorded here in 2021 will play, anytime I want it to!
 
Unlike a YouTube video of this patch I saw once, I still need a card in the box to play back, it seems to me that there is more than 1 version of this patch out there, I have one that requires a card present but others have one that works with no card, so here is my theory to get some brains thinking on this one...
 
What actually did change in 2017? I thought the software updated over-air wiping the patch out, but clearly something with the cards have changed, to test this out, I got hold of another friends old card and put that in (just to see if that would record as the card I use in the 3100 normally was present and powered on at the time the recording all stopped) and this other non-sub card actually refused to play recordings back, so behaved as Sky would have intended...
 
My post is inconclusive here, that is all I know, but I thought I'd share it because it appears to me that this patch could be customised further in 2021 to allow recording and timeshifting once more!
 
NOTE: I am a newbie to this and admit I didn't flash the box myself, I got it from ebay, a link I found on this forum years ago!

Hi All,
 
Don't know if anyone is active here anymore, but recently, I have successfully been able to JTAG a Pace 3100 PVR2. I have already messed around with some colours and background images using a hex editor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzyCOJjrjc) - I made 5.07.u look like an older version.
 
However, there are several things that I would also like to know about how the firmware possibly works, with regards to changing the behaviour of the box. Possibly looking at how Sky+ was enabled on the old 4.20.a firmware years back.  
 
For example, as you may be aware, Sky discontinued the EPG Background Audio in 2018, I've been looking at possible methods to change the channel the box uses for this but to no avail.  
 
Thanks!

I run Smart IPTV on my Samsung so have a build on there..  
Good idea re the streaming section... as you say, it may regenerate the site a bit..
I'm sure Steve will read these posts and comment.. has my vote  Wink

Good to see you all!! I run xanax on kodi as well Haga, find it very good indeed. I run a few apps on my phone which I can stream to my smart tv. Some of the apps I have are Live tv net 4.7 for live sport such as football and rugby and tea tv for some films and tv series. May be we could have a section on steve's for kodi and streaming apps? Might get the web site up and running a bit?  Wink

Hiya mate, all my friends that had satellite dishes had them taken down or don't use them any more.. it's all firesticks etc that have builds on Kodi or other stuff that they pay a sub for.. I have a couple but since the bust in Italy films and series are few and far between and seem slow to be coming back...
I rely on a xanax build on kodi for the firestick as for some reason films and series never left when the bust happened..
nice to see you back in the fold
Haga

Still here, the stats suggest a fair few people still stop by but I guess the sat scene has had it's day and has been overtaken by streaming and just downloading from torrents or sites like putlocker
 
I keep meaning to update the site, but as its so quiet not sure if there really is any need to.
 
It is nice to read back and look at some of the topics over the years, it's really surprising how things have moved on from pic cards and hexkeys Smiley
