Making and Sharing Your Own Viewsat Opkey By Forgotten 06-26-06
Many of you have read the many guides about the different ways of updating the keys on your viewsats. I am sure there are many of you out there who do not use autoroll and have to wait for the latest opkey to be posted. Well, instead of waiting, how about learning to make one for yourself? It is really quite simple.
Your first step is to make sure and turn your autoroll OFF
Next, you need to enter the current keys for ALL PROVIDERS. It will not do very many people much good if your opkey doesn’t work for the necessary systems. To Illustrate this, I will borrow a guide from teach, as there is no better guide out there. This is done as Follows….
MANUAL PRETEND Public Key Change by teach (12-04-05)
The PRETEND Public Keys have changed to:
Key 00: AF 98 74 44 1C 65 77 D8
Key 01: AF E3 E1 1D 89 4E 53 45
On the REMOTE CONTROL, you'll be using the 0 through 9 keys for the number you need and...
A = F1
B = F2
C = F3
D = F4
E = "LAST" key (circular arrow key to RIGHT of "0" )
F = "TEXT" key (2 rows ABOVE F4 key on right side of REMOTE)
TO MAKE A MANUAL KEY CHANGE in your ViewSat:
MENU--INSTALLATION--CODE--NAGRA
LEFT arrow until "Dish" displays in the top line and you have at least 4 ROWS of numbers like below. The 4 rows we are most interested in are:
08 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
09 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
88 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
89 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
DOWN arrow until the RED is on "08"
RIGHT arrow x 1 puts you on the "08" line of numbers in the 2nd column
"F1" + "Text" = "AF", RIGHT arrow
"9" + "8" = "98", RIGHT arrow
"7" + "4" = "74", RIGHT arrow
"4" + "4" = "44", RIGHT arrow
"1" + "F3" key = "1C", RIGHT arrow
"6" + "5" = "65", RIGHT arrow
"7" + "7" = "77", RIGHT arrow
"F4" key + "8" = "D8", RIGHT arrow ... finishing the top line.
You should have the highlighted box in the first column of the 2nd row on top of "08"
DOWN arrow x 1 and RIGHT arrow x 1 to the 2nd box in the "09" row
"F1" + "Text" = "AF", RIGHT arrow
"LAST CHANNEL" key (below "9" key) + "3" = "E3", RIGHT arrow
"LAST CHANNEL" key (below "9" key) + "1" = "E1", RIGHT arrow
"1" + "F4" key = "1D", RIGHT arrow
"8" + "9" = "89", RIGHT arrow
"4" + "LAST CHANNEL" key = "4E", RIGHT arrow
"5" + "3" = "53", RIGHT arrow
"4" + "5" = "45", RIGHT arrow
EXIT, OK ("YES") to save
EXIT to TV screen and watch tv
----------------------
This puts the PRETEND KEYS into the 08 & 09 KEY lines.
If you need to put KEYS into the 88 & 89 KEY lines... do above and substitute "88" for the "08" line and "89" for the "09" line.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Teach! Now, as I said, make sure you put the keys for Dish and Bev in place, As shown above. Once they are set, now comes the time to actually generate the opkey file for distribution. Remember, all the opkey is, is a file that houses they key data stored on your Viewsat. To generate this file, follow this procedure…
First, hook your Viewsat up to the computer you normally program with. Start up Loader 2 and click on the STB à PC Button. This will allow you to transfer data FROM the Stb TO the computer, as indicated by the icon. You will see Loader 2 appear to try and load something, but it is waiting on input from the receiver. Now perform the following actions with your remote…
Menu…..
Option 3 – Installation
Enter Key Code
Option 5 – Receiver Upgrade
Option 6 – Key Data
When this process is finished, you will see a checkmark in Loader 2 along with the directory where the opkey is now saved. It should be located in the same directory as the Loader 2 executable. It will conveniently be named “Opkey.Hex”
I recommend renaming this to something like
082306@115PMOpkey.hex
This simply says 08-23-06 at 1:15PM to let people know when the opkey is for. All that’s left to do now is to zip it and post it in the files section of your favorite forum. I hope this helps some of you. Now you will no longer have to wait for Opkeys to be posted.
