Page 1 of Philips 751 Hack Problem. Help Allan please

Allan
I have tried using the PalmV for hacking a friends 751, the display changes to ----------- as you say but using the dvd remote isn`t displaying the code , does this mean I need to upgrade his firmware or am I missing something? Your advice would be welcome. I have read the FAQ but am no nearer.
Thanks for all your time and efforts put into enabling people the freedom to watch what they want.Keep up the good work it`s appreciated.

you need to tell me step by step what you did...

Installed both the omni software and the relevant Philips software ( from the web site www.ianc.net/philips/hacks.shtml) on my PalmV . Pressed the omni remote key 955 multizone, the on screen display changed to "------------" then used the dvd remote to enter the code 222 222 005 255 , however the display didn`t appear to accept the code. I tried pressing the play button on the dvd remote in case the numbers dont display but this hasn`t worked.

Hope I`ve described ok.

Thanks

em..if dashes appear..then you have succesfully generated the RC6 code.....(the hard bit)...but it seems you are stuck on the easy bit (entering the multi-region code)......

when you enter the numbers....do they appear on the display?....

No the numbers don`t appear, thats the bit I`m struggling with , wasn`t sure if it was a firmware issue, and if it was what version to update to.

this may seem like a daft question.......but......is your DVD remote working correctly...i.e..batteries?.......

the RC6 hack isn`t firmware specific....so we have to look at other causes....
