What is a Vid Mod?

 
Vid Mod Links:
Vid Mod a DP301.013
Vid Mod a 508/DP510
Vid Mod a 6000
 
Receivers like the single chip DP301-013, some of the DP508 and the DP510 receivers have one sector of their TSOP chip locked. In order for us to do an erase (needed before a write) we need to remove this write protection. In essence we need to put +5 volt on one of the TSOP's pins which is normally grounded. It is very important that you do the trace cuts outlined or you will kill your receivers dead.

The legacy Echostar 6000 receivers do not need a Vid Mod in the strictest sense but they do need you to put the receiver into boot mode by installing a small jumper. Follow the instructions to the letter and you will be OK. If you have any doubt read and ask on my forums dedicated to the receivers HERE
