hi...
just out of curiosity, are there any good images available from the PCB of the Philips DIT9719 ?

I have uploaded a so-so image to the wiki.

This is a slot for a viewing card and a smart card, they use a viewing card for premium dvb-t

I will upload a different image with breakdown of board

I like how they covered the flashrom in this white stuff
not sure if that makes any sense, since the content of the rom will be most likely encrypted anyway... but looks nice

that empty connector named "1300" just left of the SMP could be a good candidate for a JTAG interface

[BTVHack]

I was looking towards the right of the SMP at the port 1052

One could be Uart the other JTAG

[BTVHack]

Found it - (almost certain) it is below 1300 - 1301.... It's even marked with pin 1 and pin 14.... Don't know how I missed it before.
Will be brave and solder some pins onto it and give it a shot.

[mce2222]

you should check if the even pins are all GND... if not, it is unlikely to be a JTAG port.

[BTVHack]

Harsh lesson learned.... never solder directly onto a board without using a low voltage soldering iron. 
Managed to strip the tracks of the ports..... luckily it was my spare box, and suprisingly it still works.

Might have to take a file to the SMP chip now to get things moving.

[mce2222]

did you check if the port is actually the JTAG ?

[BTVHack]

no, my only way of testing is to connect up and hope for the best.

[mce2222]

sounds risky...
using an ohm-meter to check against GND and also the JTAG traces on the CPU is not too difficult and might save your box

Im a fly by the seat of my pants type of guy though....

Hi

Another Brit here. I've been eyeing up a BT Vision box as a replacement for my mythbox which keeps screwing
up so it's no longer "girlfriend approved".

I'm not a member of BT, so the box apparently won't work unless it's connected via BT Broadband. Is there a way
using the modding described in the wiki for the x300t to bypass that check?

Sorry if it's a dumb question.
