Which units can you unplug the Gemstar module, & have the T.V's work
without it? The units with one, or two ribbons? RCA isn't likely to
have a fix for it anytime soon. Look at this link from 2001.

Yes there are two types of CTC203 chassis, one is one ribbon with
smart chassis (has micro onboard), and other one that uses two ribbons
with dumb chassis (no micro on the chassis, the micro is built right
into gemstar).

The one ribbon you can unplug ribbon cable and remove gemstar module
entirely. The two ribbon type, you have only two options, manual
reset with remote or unplug and wait for half a hour.

Remember to ask customer first before doing the cap modification
because some use CC.
