DTS XD10 licenses

[Phil Housh]

Hello all,
As you know, I have a DTS XD10 that the hard drive failed. Stone cold dead. I have managed to reload software on a replacement hard drive. My burning question is since the old drive died, how can I install the licenses and where can I find them since Datasat no longer supports that legacy box? Or is there s unit doomed?

Thanks,

The XD10 will reinstall with the basic "sound" license. If you don't need CSS (subtitles) then you're good. If you need CSS, then it might be a problem.

It is still possible to get CSS licenses for XD10/20. But it´s not that easy.
Send me a PM.

That's interesting to know, is that from Datasat/ATI? The few people I knew there have now left - or at least their emails all bounce so I assume they were all let go...

[Magnus Eriksson]

I asked a specific person at ATI. He still has an old computer that can generate the license.

From another thread. TS-1 built by Boston Light & Sound

this is interesting. I didn't think there was enough demand for designing a whole new device from scratch. I'd imagine building a "DTS" today is a piece of cake, a Raspberry Pi can probably do everything but it still requires some R&D.
