**grasshopper** · November 1st, 2006

Here are the instructions on how to manually change the keys on your VS7000 PVR.

Important
In the menu under Installation > Parental control > Menu lock must be on to see the code selection in the Installation menu.

1) Go into the menu and select Installation and ok. "Enter pincode ????" box will appear.
2) Enter the master password 3570.
3) You will now see an option at the bottom on the menu below Hard Disk called Code. Select this and hit ok.
4) Select Nagra then ok.
5) For DN scroll until you get to the 01 01 00 Nagra 2 screen (there is a 00 01 00 for N1 keys). For BEV use 09 01 00 For N2 keys.

Format will be the following, these are not real keys.

Dish < 01 01 00 >
00 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
08 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
09 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
88 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
89 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

BEV < 09 01 00 >
08 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
09 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
88 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
89 A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 12 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Enter the keys 2 characters at a time then hit the Move Right (Volume >) to move to the next pair.

A = F1 (Red button)
B = F2 (Green button)
C = F3 (Yellow button)
D = F4 (Blue button)
E = Rewind (<<)
F = Slow (|>)
Delete = Guide

HINTS

Key 0 aka 00 = rows 08 & 09
Key 1 aka 01 = rows 88 & 89
* Do not overwrite the first two characters in the line (08, 09, 88 or 89).
* Keys are normally posted as one line with 32 characters or 16 pairs.
* Keys are split into two lines 08 & 09 or 88 & 89, 16 characters on each.
* Do not change the 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 at the end of each row.

Using Viewsat 7000 PVR here. Notice in Nagra 2, that BEV *now* has 4 entries:
<09 04 00>, <09 01 00>, <09 05 00>, and <08 01 00>. Am I correct in thinking that I have to change all four? Your sticky is an excellent tutorial, and helped me to get up and running pretty fast.

Again, thanks! :-)

Do these instructions work with the new GUI for the VS7000PVR?

nu2fta · December 10th, 2007

GH,

Everything until step 4 above works (with old gui) but I get no choice to scroll to get to DN or BEV. It only shows unknown...Same thing with the new gui as well...

Thanks for your help

From observing previous replies to similar problems, permit me to suggest:
Reinstall the original factory BIN, reset to fartory defaults, then install the latest bin. thereafter, you should be able to get to the "code" section in the new GUI.
HINT: In the *new* GUI scroll *sideways* till you get to 0901...

HTH,

:-)

It doesn't scroll, no matter which way I go (up or down or sideways)...Do I need to manually enter the keys?? if so can someone give me the keys?

Thanks Grasshopper,

only 1 thing I am still confused on there is 4 sets of strings.......when you look at the new key link there is two sets of new keys bev 0907 and 0901 one is later in the day than the other ...........what does the 0907 or 0901 mean......I am a bit confused when it comes to that ........... do you enter both sets and if so which is rows 08 and 09 and 88 and 89 hopefully this post makes sense and you can sort of see where I am coming from?

Thanks in advance to anyone who revisits this post and can shed some light on this for me

Look at the *original* posting (by grashopper) at the top of this page: I don't think he can make the instructions any simpler or CLEARER than he already has done.

Also, It's a very good practice to start each visit HERE:
Forum Announcements, Changes, and Upgrades! - ABA DSS - Free to Air Satellite TV Community

This can save you time, and more importantly, you might even find that there has been a solution even *before* you post it!

You'll find excellent and quick help here, provided that you READ

HTH,

yes, they do. IIRC, you don't even have to enter the special password mentioned in the original post.

I have a program called VSKey. It apparantly gets the new keys and creates a file. Can this file be loaded to the Vs pvr7000 via usb? Also, when entering new keys, does one need to turn autoroll off?

**shery20** · January 21st, 2008

please be careful loding that program and you do not need to turn autoroll off for at least vs pvr 7000 i did it so many time witout it
