good news, it is really random capturing remotes. Some go really easily others are a nightmare.

As for changing headends, that's easy. use TW or TWP to change into "Set PAL Guided Setup Mode" using the Pal-Ntsc module. Reboot, then use the onscreen menus to redo guided setup. You won't lose anything.

I think I have valid permissions to enter a new manufacturer into the STB list, I'll post back here once it's done.
