You can still test with that. Just need a JTAG and AVR. If I remember correctly south had the DVR 501/508/510 where the two latter ones required a vidmod as well but I could be wrong. The only real difference was hard drive size, they all ran the same exact fw.

Another note if you change the IRD#/BK you need to remarry the hard drive with a older fw.

no such thing as a 5700
bell is slowly phasing out their sd models
soon they'll be useless
