General Questions/Information

Creating and editing custom bins

These are files that are required when using command line emulation. Generally they are found under the file name "dish.bin". With the current EMU software available (CEMU, TOAD) you quite often do not have to edit the provided dish.bin at all. Time zones can sometimes require file editing. Assuming all information is entered correctly, full editing as described below is harmless but sometimes useful.

DISH 3m Method

1) Run Xcel3.0, File --> Virtual bin Image --> Rev372- Rom3b(select this one, you now have a virgin dump)
2)
Fill in:
Card ID  converted to HEX (you can use windows calculator for this) and IRD Number converted to HEX
Zip Code Note, for Canadians, you have to have a valid zip code for your time zone as the EMU processes the 51 command. Lookup a city that is south of you, and grab a zip code from there.
EMM Keys
Boxkeys
Time zone
PPV amount Max is $85.00
**Do not close Xcel**
**For Convenience save card info by clicking File --> Save Card Info and next time we create a bin we use File--> Load Card Info
3) Load up codegen102, check off Card Version (Rom 3), Main Options (3m Activation), Blocker, Provider (DishNetwork), click Generate code. (Codegen.ne3 will be created), close codegen
4) Switch back to Xcel3.0, Select Tools --> Patch Eeprom, then in filename to be patched choose the codegen.ne3 we created above, select preview the nee file to see if there is some code and then finally apply the changes and close after. (now we should get all the channels at this point) Note: you may get an error complaining about the rev380 being an unknown version/number; ignore
5) Save the file as dish.bin and you're done
