Philips DIT9719 disk

Hi,

Just trying to get into the details of the box.  The disk seems to have been locked, has anyone unlocked one of these?

Cheers
Mike

what do you mean with "locked" ?

it should be a regular fat32 filesystem.

It appears to have IDE password protection - similar to xbox.

Neat. That's a feature the T-Home IPTV Box does not have. If you dump the Bootloader, you should find the password in there - possibly encrypted

You can do a hotswap, power on the box and pull the ide connection, reconnect onto a PC....
Or....
If you have a modded XBOX, you can put the drive into it and run EvoX and unlock the drive, then
do a reboot on the DTV box and allow it to recreate the partitions, it should not lock again.

Turned out that my external USB caddy & motherboard both didn't like the disk, but another USB caddy did - it's not locked after all (and if I can't use this in the BT-Vision box I will upgrade my xbox disk - that's already runnign linux).

Cheers
