Just got a DIT9719/05 box given to me - Want to use as a DVR

[Geostar]

I have recently recieved a BT Vision DIT9719/05 box and I would like to modify it so I can use it as a freeview recorder without BT broadband. Please help me.

Unfortunately the best you are going to get currently is a freeview box out of it.
Had a look at the dvr stuff a while ago, but never got back to looking at it.
Problem is, a lot of the stuff is controlled from the server end, so when you press record for instance, it doesnt tell the box to record, it sends a message to the server, the server then schedules the recording (with the time of now).

So it's not going to be as easy as first thought..

Is there not a way we can set up a proxy so it thinks the connection is coming from a BT broadband connection so it can receive the EPG data.

could do, problem is... you need the data in the first place.

darkneo was working on getting the epg from the radio times site and integrating it into the software.

We can get now / next, but the other stuff seems to be filtered out in the lower native dll's

Maybe there is a way to remove the filters? and integrate it into the software so you can get epg from ota.

It appears at the moment I have a useless silver brick. :|
