Hacking Bell TV PVR Satellite Receiver - More Free Channels 

As soon as I saw the hard drive unplugged I knew there was gonna be some "stuff" on it, someone was trying to hide it for sure

The cutoff after "oh my god what is that??" is sending me to orbit 😂

Surprised it didnt moan when you pluged the drive back in 😂

"I only gape for you". "I don't think the only thing here hard was the hard drive". LOL

Looks just like a Dish Network 722 from around 2009. FYI that is a dual receiver and can run two TV's independently. You will need a dish network RF remote(the little wafer on the bottom of the remote that has a green number 1 on it can be taken out and flipped over to a blue number 2- then program by going to System Info screen and pressing the record button on the TV2 remote [menu 6 - 1 - 3]) and a small antenna for the "remote antenna" port on the back of the receiver. The yellow coax port is to run to your second TV in another room- then you push the "mode" button on the front of the receiver and the yellow light should change from the one screen to two screens on the front of the receiver. Next set the second TV to either air channel 60 or cable channel 73 (defaults)(you may need to do a channel scan to pick it up) and you should now have two TV's on one box. You can make the remote antenna out of a piece of coax, just cut a 6" piece of coax and strip all the jacketing and dielectric off of the center conductor for about 4 inches or so and make sure there is no metal contacting it.

The usb port on the front behind the side door was so you could view picture say from a camera or your pc. Last dish DVR we had, had one of those ports. just transfer your pictures to a jump drive and then plug that into that port.

when you got excited that the modem sounds came on it made me smile :)

Was given a Sony DVD recorder with 250gb hard drive. The hard drive was loaded with porn recorded off Exxxtasy lol. Took a while to delete the movies one at at time.

The dial up missed part of the handshake, did it not? I wonder if the process is different for different devices. Really neat!

I'm most likely going to get a job doing VOIP so this stuff is sorta inline with my education; Now that I understand a thing or two, I'm inclined to grab one of these old boxes and try some experiments myself. I often see these boxes at estate sales, so I'm going to start assembling my kit. Thanks OP for bringing this to my attention.

Always good when you upload. Excited for this one

Hah, a Dreambox.. Great hardware. Broadcom inside too. Fascinating endeavours!

LOL at the cut cords, reminds me of ship breaking where this was done for controlled ITAR inventory strip out for crush/demolition video taped, a lot of uncontrolled stuff like this would be pulled in the same fashion (one doesn't waste time trying to find the ends)

I see those adult channels, really bro "I gap for you" 😂 I'm surprised RU-vid didn't ban you for it 😅

when visiting canada from England i saw my aunts old box like that one in 2013 and i so wanted to take it apart to see how much it was diffrent than a UK England SKYbox or standard Satellite box was

Would be cool if you could copy those shows like moonshiners off of that hard drive but sadly everything is encrypted on these DVRs. The TV providers only want you to watch and not save. I haven't heard that dial-up sound in a long time not counting a video I saw on dial-up internet like what the different tones mean.

This has gotta be the coolest youtube channel

Sometimes if you Hook up a ground wire to a device that didn't have one original could ruined the device if other devices connected to the ground could release unwanted power to the ground and could go to the device with a independent system could ruined it

That receiver hold some secrets 😂

Looks like an ATX power supply plug actually.

Bell is the Canadian Dish TV service There are separate, or there used to be separated Bell satellites I think now Bell uses Dish satellite network

Too Hard for youtube. We got a dish but nobody using it a panel looks like next to electric I know where my wire into my room luckily right above it! Could I just skip the panel straight into house into PVR to watch tv ? Also can this upgrade to SSD?

Why not just spoof an already registered sat dish receiver? Yes it's illegal and encrypted but you just the need the sat dishes lat and long settings and an already registered receiver from a cable distribution central in office.

Heh, "we're still getting a lot of really good channels here," referring to the adult entertainment stored on the hard drive.

The Venus channel is more common in Latin America and we know what we are talking about.

I have worked with the RemoteMix 3. It's analog audio at best. No fancy modem in one of those I'm afraid.

Nice video 😊

what was the phone line for

Nice drive there bro

This unit is from 2008 or up Because it has a hdmi

Have you tried directly connecting the phone line? Your box is likely disturbing the signal.

It sounded like a 56K modem having a stroke.

I wonder if the hard disk can be cloned and flashed onto an SSD? I know you'd likely be limited to the stock size, but I wonder if there would be any benefit to performance?

Thanks for the view under the hood. Do you think there may be a Linux core here amongst the Broadcom that could repurpose the box as a small computer ? Assuming kbd and net through the USB. Also curious what is its country of origin ? could not make out the label. Thanks.

Nice video What is this RemoteMix 3? Is this a pbx, does it support pulse dialing? Or is it just audio to phone line interface?

Can I use bell expressvu in America as a DISH 500?

I don’t miss the days when you had to pay for naughty material. Of course, there were ways to get it for free then, too. This thing really is old!

This looks like the Dish Network ViP series DVRs.

As a Québec City resident I got to ask you where you from ❤ since I noticed a lot of french canadian channels 😂

connecting website using dial phone sound effects!

Do you have any old bell recievers you dont want anymore? **i collect them**

Just subscribed 👍👍

Gina Valentina on the Thumbnail 😂

Nice

Peter have you heard of or seen the nextcom r5000 cable box mod from back in the day ?

13:49 HAHAHHAHAHAHAA! An** Beauties 6 😂. Bro

We have the exact same pvr!

Hmm, maybe you can try to get a Dish Network Cable Box and see if it will work with the bell network

The paper view thing didn’t work because you need to have an actual Bell account so they can bill you for the paper view.

Can't wait!

It downloaded the updated channel maps There is a satellite card in these that has to be updated You get a new card when you get service

Did you try unpluging the internal drive and only use an external USB drive connected ? Would it work ?

Here in Quebec it's Ici Radio Canada

Hey, I've got a similar PVR as yours (Bell 9500), I'm wondering what satellite you're pointed at? I believe that bell is using the 91°W Nimiq 6 satellite, but i've been unsuccessful on receiving a signal at all after getting elevation, azimuth angles. I was hoping you would know, Maybe this is the wrong satellite?

AT LEAST ITS UH...ITS *NOT SMOKING*

Hey can you do this with a DirecTV D12-100 Receiver?

❤❤❤❤❤

Hello Can you find some old bell receivers From 1999 to 2007 That will be a good video or Find some old footage I really like your channel

is there a good cheap alternative for the RemoteMix 3

TURN IT INTO A TIVO!

sounds like it’s screaming

13:54 😂😂😂😂

Yeah, well he was one thing I’m not gonna kink shame and buddy that person should’ve delete that off before they sold it

I can tell you how to get every channel they have for free.

no way you live in thailand

I wonder what is the phone number did it call?

Roku channel...

Little too hard lol

HACK THA PLANET!!!!

Lololololol

this bell contect is crap 😅

Man all these boxes and wires is useless just get a couple of IPTV providers with an Apple TV or a Fire TV Stick and your good 😊👍👌

You know you can get in trouble because they are tracing you. And this is illegal also

Sounds to me like the distant modem isn’t hearing yours. It’s possible that monitor box is dragging the signal level down too low. Try it without it.

it sounds like a bancie

not exactly a hack is it?

Anything that comes through on a deauthorized receiver is sent in the clear and a standard fta receiver will receive it as well

Very hard stuff on a hard drive.

I’m sorry. I don’t know what you did. I don’t have a hard drive on my receiver.
