Hi!
My TM-6900 HD COMBO doesn't turn on after update. Has anybody a flash dump from this model?

Have followed above up to "press ok on the highlighted patch", but none of them load.
Instead each gives a message "invalid firmware"

Can any of you good fellows tell me which is the latest patch and softcam keys for my Technomate TM-5400+USB Super + box? I attempted to load a magicpatch but it said it the file was incompatible and I'm struggling to watch footy.

Great forum, thanks a lot for the infos! I'm newbe, so sorry in the questions are stupid...
1. do I have to make the update using the official Technomate patches, or I just to use the patch available on this site?
2. I guess the softcams are changing quite often (at least once per month?), but where do i find the most recent ones? Sorry, but I couldn't find new softcams in the download center...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Can't seem to find any specific information for my model. Anyone know if the patch update process is the same for all models?
Some information I have read says the update must be done via serial lead and not the usb port on the back.

My EPG only shows information on the next program if I want to see whats on later in the evening I have to switch to digital to see whats on! I did contact Tecnomate helpline but they blame the service provider???

I have tried to load the latest firmware via usb but the receiver dosent recognise the connection. Some info says this may be Vista thats causing the problem.

hello wingnutfm,
I"v had a Tm6800HD for some time now and have always patched it and entered softcams via the USB port no problem.
technomate are right about the epg.
as to your last paragraph exactly how are you trying to do it.I dont have vista but xp does it fine.download patch and extract file,copy file to your usb stick which must have been formatted to fat 32 either in your computer or in the STB.menu>usb>disk manager>format disk>ok.put stick back in box after loading patch,menu>usb>data transfer.highlight patch>ok do not interupt the process til its finished.after loading patch do the same for the latest softcam posted in the softcam section.
I wouldnt have thought the computer operating system would have stopped you doing it but I dont know enough about computers to be sure.
I use patch 702p on my tm6800HD original and this opens bulsat on 39E bis/fransat on 5W arqiva on5E and 1 or 2 others.BUT only use a patch that is for your exact model.
one other thing download using "firefox" as your browser as IE can corrupt files.

Hi there Jackpot,

once you have selected the file press"ok" do not try and upload.
to check the patch is in >menu>system information. I"d ask any more questions in the normal technomate section you will get more answers this section is for information.
