Hi!

Anyone know if the old SA 8602 boxes have any kind of tablkback notification on them.

I couldn't see any warnings or info about it in any old tutorial at all but just wanted to make sure!

Cheers.

I don't know what model that is but the old jerrold had to cut the wire inside the tuner can and take silver paper out....not 100% sure but is it the black one with buttons on top...big red lcd screen?

I aint to sure what an old jerrold box is, is that the manufactrer like Scientific atlanta or a type like docsis?

Analog cable is way new to me, kinda a forced thing really, know alot more about digi....

it has scientific atalnta written on it yes, also some have jerrold on it too...it is a black, square box with red numbers at front when switched on...also a little black remote and a keypad on top of the box......

here is a link to the box i mean

mine looks like that (the 'spare' ones)

but my legit oe looks like this

hmmmmmmmmm looks like it could be done the same way...u need a chip that maps the channels and a booster thing that codes the box( it comes up with a random sequence of numbers/letters when you press F1 on remote/box)
discard front number abnd write down last...that is the code you will need for box.

analog box don't have talk back what u need is the serial number on the botom of the box or on the cft f2 , i think will show up the numbers convert then in2 a number sequence

ahh, there's no f on the box, got an F on my legit one but dont want to mess with that. not that the cc probably cares, the engineer told me he'd had it in his van for months and months (it was his 1st ever analog install....)

One of my Scientific atlanta 8602 boxes (with the coax loop out the back)
plugs in and gets sky movies and a few adult channels right away. the others are encrypted (it cant quite get a picture, like when I plug the cable feed straight into the tv and do a channel scan) and a few free to air channels are there also. Seems like most of the channels are mapped out thoug, bu the box does get the names wrong on the OSD.

I saw this tutorial http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/forum...hlight=jerrold and know I can;t use that, but CLive58 dug this old tutoral he wrote years ago.

I can do al that apart from the resetter (cos I dont have one!)
I don't fully understand the proces the bypasses/programs the encryption at all with these.

Do I nee to use a resetter? and Is there talkback on this model, cos I just plugged it in

Sorry for al the questions folk. Clueless here even after reading up! Anyone got any ideas?

TTT. sorry, still reading up and still not 100% on all this...
