Screen cap may be from while still in service with DirecTV, but I'm not sure
which code it would have on an account with lifetime as I've always been
monthly with my DirecTV DVR service.
Not saying the seller did this, but some variations of some of the early
hacks, inclusing service hacks, fooled the machine into thinking it had
lifetime. I had to do this to one of my early units when the modem blew out
and the PVR portion of the service requireed regular calls.

Probably dropped in a 30 gig drive or so.
