UPDATE YOUR FTA KEYS FOR FREE We provide this service totally free. All we ask is you visit one of our reputable sponsors.
They donate hard earned funds to support our free dish key support site. So please, at least use our searchfor other fta related issues.
Every file we post here works or has worked at some time. This section is difficult to upkeep due to the fact that keys, rom files and bins change sometimes daily. Therefore be aware that this private members section is for educational purposes only. After testing your equipment out a few times you should be able to find files and keys all over the internet. The only files we maintain on a regular basis are the rom 102/103 and atmega files. Please check the dates on all our files before installing, especially fta stuff. We have partnered with them to provide Free-to-air.us customers with all the updated files they require. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ROM 102 PANDORA USERS: IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE looping THEIR CARDS. ie. ATR ERROR.
WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT YOU ARE NOT resetting your card in nagra BEFORE UNLOCKING IT AND PROGRAMMING OUR LATEST ROM BIN. IF YOU DO NOT RESET THE CARD BEFORE UNLOCKING/PROGRAMMING YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR ROM CARDS! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO PROVIDED 1ST.

If you screwed up your bin file for your flash programming and eeprom on your 301 receiver, heres the files you need to upload with JKEYS software to your receiver using a jtag. This is required so that your rom 102 cards get married to the receiver. Peter has edited the FLASH 2 bin file to include the UNIVERSAL BOX KEYS for you! - downloads 3 bins
Pandoras and Mikobus come with a dual cable. This means they both get power souce from the ps/2 cable thats built on. BUT i always suggest using a 9 volt battery adaptor because some computers only provide 6 volts through the ps/2 keyboard slot.
