check if the magic bit is there, if it is, does it say offline if it does make sure your box is connecting to the internet and that's as far I can discuss here with you.

nobody here can help you obtain a paid for service illegally as its against forum rules , if you have factory reset it then the only person who can help you is the bloke who configured the box , and he aint here !

I'd get in touch with who you got it from and get them to explain how to put the magic info back on the box.

Beat me to it.

If you reset your box back to "Factory Settings" without choosing any other options to reset in the pop up box that appears, then your "important" information will still be there. What it sometimes does though is turn off DHCP. So go into menu > network local settings > network setting > ethernet > setup & check that DHCP is set to ON.
