| Longer lasting activation files |
Here is a quick step by step for longer running activation:
Using Extreme HU, read your subbed card.
Click file and save file using default name.
Open that file in extreme's hex creator (under Tools).
You will see your subbed tiers with their proper expiration dates. e.g. C-Tier/Date=3376/7DC5,
etc...
Click on the last line of tier data and then click on the box, "Insert
Blank Line."
In the "Address" box at the bottom type in #
In the "Data to Write at Address" box. type in your unsubscribed
tier data. You need the latest tier list (check the software downloads). Let's
use a tier for HBO in this example. We are going to add this same tier six
times, but with different dates for each.
C-Tier/Date=61FA/7DC1,61FA/7DC2,61FA/7DC3,61FA/7DC4, 61FA/7DC5,61FA/7DC6
Using the date calculator, 7DC1 is June 1, 7DC2 is June 2 and so on...
You can only have six sets of tier and dates per line.
Click on "Write Line" box and you will see your new
line added up above.
Repeat this process adding other lines until you have all the tiers you want.
Use the same set of 6 dates. You can have a total of 80+tier entries, so you
should be able to get almost everything you want opened.
Save this file with any name you want.
With a clone of your subbed card in loader, write this extreme hex file to
it using "add tiers only."
Now your subbed tiers will not drop because they contain their proper expiration
dates, and the non-subbed tiers will stay up much longer because they each
have six individual tiers that will fall off one at a time. I've had some
stay up two week and longer before needing to refresh.
Before refreshing the tiers, re-read your card's epprom to see
if your subbed tiers have taken up any new expiration dates. Look at "Tier
Data" under "View" in extreme after reading epprom. If you
see new dates for tiers you subscribe to, note these dates and open your activation
file in hex creator and edit these dates on those tiers only. Save the file
and refresh tiers on your card using this file.
