I take no credit for this
Info comes from MODTS.co.uk
..but a site change made it difficult to find again so I'm posting the relevant info here for future reference..
There are various mods for various functions but we are only intested in bypassing the need for diseqc commands and powering the unit permanently on..
So ..
Only the simpler mod is needed ..but caution when doing it ..
a small and fiddly job even so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next mod involved either lifting pads of a chip or cutting the legs of the chip nearest the chip itself. Then the wires that were connected to the pads are pulled high by wiring them directly to the 5V regulator onboard.
Cut/lift 3 of the pins of the 18pin chip and add 2 wire links.
Pins 14,17,18 need to be cut from the chip or lifted up from the board and the pads where they were attached need to be connected to +5v from the regulator. Pins 17/18 are joined on the pcb already so that's why only 2 wire links.
Lift the three pins marked with arrows away from the pads.. Not very easy but possible !!
A fine tipped soldering iron will make it much easier to just heat and bend them up over. Alternatively using a very small snips cut the leads very close to the black chip body.
Then fit two wires from these pads in green to the output from the 5v regulator.
For pin 14 you can alternatively solder the wire from the regulator to either side of the resistor marked with '0' just above the chip in the photo if it is easier... pin14 pad is very small.
Finally it looks something like this:
