Perhaps that is the casue of some of the confusion. The detailed procedure is in any case dependent on the receiver, but more importantly than that: the format/translation 'algorithm' to get the hex-keys to decimal codes enterable via the remote is different for Viaccess, Mediaguad, D2MAC... it all depends on whatever arbitrary method the author of the software you are using on your card had dreampt up.For example, I might release a remote-updateable goldwafer hex which is written in such a way that you are required to convert each hexadecimal byte of the key into its decimal value and then add the age of my cat before entering the result via the remote. Or I might require you to transpose (say) the fifth and eighth bytes. Etc etc. 2old</blockquote>
