This isn't a hacked box- I have no backup bin, this is a
strictly legit box that I bought off an ex-customer who
is moving. It was set up only for Thai TV on T-5. As long
as the box stays plugged in, everything is fine. It's when
you unplug it (for only a fraction of a second) it forgets
everything- all satellite programming, channel lists, and
it flips to PAL system making the TV screen unreadable).
Unless someone has a factory bin file for an Aimsat DS-3000???
Thanks, -Web Williams, Myrtle Beach, SC
