title: how to get the adult channel-lock password from your bell
expressvu receivers

so, if you are reading this, you most likely don't have access to the locked
channels on
your satellite. your parents probably locked out the porn channels and maybe even
the ppv
ones. well, thanks to good ol' bell...theres a little feature they built into the
receivers
that dumps the memory of the receiver, its called the memory dump screen. what a
perfect name
for it. anyway to get to the memory dump screen you have to press a series of
buttons on your
remote in a semi-quick fashion, press on menu, system setup, diagnostics. then
press the
info button, right, left

you should now be at the memory dump screen...now if you have 1000
series....scroll down till you
get to the line "1c0" (the memory dump is for hex) with a bunch of zeros infront
of it....now look
in the 3rd column of digits you should see 4 digits between 0 and 9...this is the
password...but
its mirrored...which means the first two digits and the last two digits are
reversed. i'll give
you an example to help you figure out what i mean.

example:
this is an example for my parents old reciever in their bedroom..
the 4 digit number in the 3rd column at line 1c0 was "6445"..now remember this is
swapped,
so all we gotta do is reverse the first two with the last two..so the porn
password was...
4564...yippy it works

another example:
say you see 3869 in the 3rd column, well swap those first two and the last two,
what do you
have? 6938 would be the password...ok i think you can understand how to get the
password for
the 1000 series...now what about the 3100?

for the 3100 series its a bit different, you still goto the memory dump screen
using those
combonation of buttons on your remote control, but this time instead of going to
line 1c0, you goto
line 320...and instead of the 3rd column look in the 2nd where you should 8
numbers..4 of these
numbers hold the password to your viewing pleasure, but how can we tell which one
it is? this time
the numbers are not bitswapped, but they just have the number three (3) before
them...i'll give you
some examples so you understand...
example:
this is an example for my reciever password i set in my downstairs living room...
the 8 digit number in the 2nd column at line 320 was "31333337", and since theres
a 3 before
every number...that means just look at the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th number, so the
password for
31323331 is 1337...the pattern is this "3#3#3#3#"...just take those 4 # and try
them into the
password box, and it should work....no need to swap the numbers just go from left
to right..

another example:
say you see 39363031 in the 2nd column at line 320..well just look at that
"3#3#3#3#" pattern
and voila, theres the porn password 9601.

i'm sorry but i don't know the line or the column or the method of getting the
password for any other
receiver, but i do know there is another way how to remove the password for those
receiver irds.
unfortunately it involves doing a master reset on the receiver which makes all the
defaults reset to
factory default. also you only get a limited amount of times you can do, you can
do this by going to
the memory dump screen then hittin the tv/video button on your remote control, but
after all...you're
writing to the eeprom of the reciever (just like writing to cmos). but theres a
few millions times you
can do this, so you dont have to worry that much
