Good Luck!!!

box keys are located in a eprom located on the main board of your ird you need a jtag to get them.eric :)

I think it would be easier to just dump the CAM. That's if the card you mentioned is married to that IRD. If your using a card that is married to the IRD having the boxkeys in not that important. However, it's always a good idea to have them just in case something happens to the card which would prevent you from testing that IRD again. I do not believe the 4000 has a JTAG port. Removing the TSOP and dumping it is another way if the card was not married to that IRD.
