i noticed that, when i took a video of the cable box explorer 8300 rebooting, for a very brief time before the box displayed "boot", it displayed "bo30", what does that mean? i understand boot of course. but bo30? what a weird code.

Please see the existing 8300 topics in this forum. Here's a starting point: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=581843
