Blade Media 7000s patched firmware 05/01/2012 81x

[delboy13]

here is latest blade firmware
fixed youtube,
the default audio setting has been set to "high" (you need to reload your cdf for it to take effect)
and the adult is hidden by default, 3641 toggles it on and off from the youtube/weather screen.

[vorlon2257]

Thanks for this

[zee24]

what do you mean by reload cdf file?

[ramjet]

what do you mean by reload cdf file?

it means save the channel data file list to usb stick ( cdf file)

factory reset and load the patch and factory reset again afterwards

then reload the channel data file ( the cdf ) afterwards

[zee24]

why do you need to factory reset twice?

[zee24]

is the file which is in this thread the cdf file?

[leon632]

the cdf or cndf is the location of the channels, favourites etc.
If you go to menu, utilities, download and press the red button it will save all your channels as when you factory reset it will get rid of them all. also make a note of any info on the 9991 menu as this will go aswel.
I don't think you have to factory reset but it is recommended.
Once you have factory reset loaded the new fw and reset again you can go back to the download section, reload your cndf file and all your channels should be back as normal.
you will just have to put back in your 9991 info again.

[zee24]

to be honest i don't really factory reset whenever i install new firmware coz it usually works fine without, as does this apart from the audio thingy its still the same so il do what you n ramjet have told me and thanks

[leon632]

All my audios are set to high now with this update just to let you know.

[zee24]

Yes works fine after a factory reset all audios are on 'high' this is the first time ive got Youtube working aswell.

Anyone know how to get radio working, is there an easy way of getting all the radio channels instead of having to search for them 1 by 1?

[ramjet]

why do you need to factory reset twice?

the first factory reset clears the box ready for patching

after patching , the second factory reset "locks" the patch into the box

that is the absolute failsafe scenario and should always be done if you have any problems

however , if you just load the new patches and it works without a factory reset , or if you just do one factory reset only , then as long as it works dont worry about it

but the failsafe method of before and after patching is always the one that almost guarantees no issues

[ramjet]

is the file which is in this thread the cdf file?


a cdf is a Channel Data File ( look at the initials ) and is the channel list

therefore the list will wnd in dot c d f . ie:- .cdf

whereas the patched firmware (or original) is STB . which is dot STB

STB = Set Top Box , which is your satellite box , in your case the blade STB

so the suffix details what the file actually is , by using its initials

[zee24]

how do i get radio working? can i get all the channels at once instead of searching for them 1 by 1?

[ramjet]

how do i get radio working? can i get all the channels at once instead of searching for them 1 by 1?

press GROUP and select your satellite astra2 28.2e

then press the radio/tv button to get the radio channels up

these can be moved into order using the channel edit in your menu

having just tested it I found it would say NO CHANNELS if I was in a favourite group , so had to place it on the astra2 group before activating the radio button

after that it worked fine

hope that helps

[zee24]

cheers ramjet finally got radio to work for the first time since ive had the box. I was trying to do it from where you find Youtube, Weather and Radio, everytime i typed in the channel it would never find it

[ultimatewarrior67]

cant extract file because its corupted.

[ramjet]

cant extract file because its corupted.


best check your extraction software , as it downloads and unpacks just fine for me , and its now on my box and working ok too , and has done so for over a day

[zee24]

yup does exactly what ramjet has said, works fine and extracts fine no problems my end

[markedz]

just extracted it all ok here

[orientville]

Only problem im finding with the new firmware is the 7 day download epg some channels give you the next day epg but none of them give u the 7 day.Any ideas anyone?.

[ramjet]

Only problem im finding with the new firmware is the 7 day download epg some channels give you the next day epg but none of them give u the 7 day.Any ideas anyone?.

that option works fine on a blade if you select any epg portal channel on 28e before starting the epg download

[leon632]

What do you mean by epg portal channel?

[ramjet]

What do you mean by epg portal channel?

to get 7 day epg on 28e do the following :-

first scan in transponder 11778V 27500 , and look for the channels like 8010 or portal video 5 that have sly trailers and info

select that channel , then press ok and do an epg update and it will download the 7 day epg for you

then select the guide and alter the epg as you wish using the coloured buttons

always select that channel to do the download , when required , as it uses it for its epg information

[alonso]

This extracts as 5/10/11? Is this the same one as the last firmware (5/10/11)??

[orientville]

Brill mate all working fine again.

[zee24]

This extracts as 5/10/11? Is this the same one as the last firmware (5/10/11)??

no it doesn't it extracts 05/01/2012 and is the latest release

[alonso]

no it doesn't it extracts 05/01/2012 and is the latest release

My humble apologies:ahhhhh: downloaded again and all good.. Very strange

When I try to do this, I get a insufficient Transponder Memory error in the manual channel option, In fact if I go to satellite search to do a full scan of 28.2, it only scans one Transponder, finding about 5 channels.

Have factory reset the box and tried again but still the same.

you didnt state which patch you were using , but if its this latest one , factory reset the box and try the latest OFFICIAL FIRMWARE

if the fault still persists , contact blademedia.tv or your supplier

thanks alot mate

can you select either channel 8010 or prtal video 5 or just 1 of em?

[ramjet]

can you select either channel 8010 or prtal video 5 or just 1 of em?

use any you like , just pick one and use it

I use portal channel 5

[vorlon2257]

I found out what was causing the insufficient Transponder Memory Error today on my Blade, it wasn't this latest Patched firmware, it was the Channel List that I was using, for some reason it had become corrupted.

So did a factory reset, loaded the latest Patched firmware went into satellite search, done a full scan of 28.2e, saved channels to flash drive, sorted them into order that I wanted and loaded them back to box again and checked to make sure that everything was working as it should which is was.

[sakiblateef]

Does this receiver allow you to save the 7 days epg on a hard drive or usb stick?

I noticed the TM5402 does not have this option.

[zee24]

ive lost my 7 day epg channel ive checked evey group and in all channels list its not there, is there anyway i can get it back without doin a total channel re-scan? like a manual dish scan?

and how do u save your current channel list to my usb?

just download it again on the portal channel as I have said before in this thread

I save the portal channels into my favourites for easy access , and have them at the bottom of the fav list

use the download option in the menu to save your cndf to usb stick formatted in fat32

[zee24]

i did an epg update on the video portal 5 channel but it still doesnt show me a 7 day epg and in some of the catagories the channels don't show whats on until i choose a channel

[irishbluestaffy]

same as above

[ramjet]

i did an epg update on the video portal 5 channel but it still doesnt show me a 7 day epg and in some of the catagories the channels don't show whats on until i choose a channel

works ok for me using my own list

I did find I had to turn the box off after the new patch was loaded , by switching off at the mains supply for a few minutes before I could get the epg update to work properly

and I also mentioned in this thread that you should do the factory resets to ensure a good patch is locked into the box , especially if you encounter problems

but some people are lazy and just update the current patch without the factory resets , and then complain when it doesnt work properly ;)

having just checked mine again I can confirm a 7 day epg on over 95% of my channels in my favourite groups using 28e only

I will also point out yet again that I am not using the lists from their site , but my own bespoke list for 28e only

[leon632]

Could you post your cdf?

[ramjet]

Could you post your cdf?

with pleasure

28e channel list dated 12jan2012 attached

use at your own risk , but I use it and my lad also uses it just fine on a bm7000s (non-combo)

it is set mainly for north west uk

[zee24]

What i realised when i scan and save the 8010 n Video Portal 5 channel:

1. You automatically lose the 7 day EPG channel

2. After going to 1 of the channels and doing an EPG update some of the channels still wouldn't show a 7 day EPG so what i did was leave it on the channel for a few mins like you did with the 7 day epg channel, then i found the channels that wern't showing the 7 day epg were doing so now.

However after 30 mins i lost the epg again for all the channels so had to do another epg update and in the past couple of hours i have done this 3 times.

I have switched it off at the mains as ramjet sugested to get the epg to work better but it made no difference and this firmware is locked as when i downloaded it i did 2 resets as you recommended. Although im not using your channel list i cnt see what difference it would make to my situation regarding this problem.

THis may not happen to everyone tho and these 2 channels do update the epg as ramjet has said but for some reason i keep losing the epg after some mins.

[mikalos]

thaks for this. Just wish the woukd include the ability to link to a nas

[vorlon2257]

7 day EPG guide working for me, now if they would include NTFS support in the next release, if possible

[dragonz]

was waiting for the previous patched version...this now supersuedes that...fantastic..

[dragonz]

that would be the icing on the cake..

[amardeep]

thank yoou

[johnviv]

7000s box, any body finding, parts of you tube not connecting to the server, also some of the adult streams not working ! done about 6 factory resets and firmware installations, still the same. 9991, and 3641 are working, network all fine .

[Giraffes]

Thankyou very much

[jp8552]

Hi. I don't know if im in the right place, but can anyone tell me if this Blade Media will work for me in Ireland if I point my satellite to the 28.2 satellite? I am very new to all this.. Would i need a subscription of any TV Service or will this pick up the channels if I update with all the new firmware and stuff? if Im in the wrong place could any one point me in the correct direction. Thanks in advance.

[irishbluestaffy]

yes it will work,and yes you will need a subscription.

[rupeshbmnoob]

Blade Media tweeted the following on 18 Jan 2012:


We are working on a REALLY cool new feature for the BM7000 receivers... more news soon.

Now let the speculation begin! :rolleyes:

On a more serious note, thank you for uploading this!

[asif69]

Taken from another source..

"The facility for server runners to stream preformatted movies for Blade clients is on the horizon. So, technically they can add a great big drive full of new movies to their server - and if they want (during testing initially) - you can have access to a vast array of the latest movies with having to go to the cinema."

[christophert21]

what about when you are watching a movie on the usb/hard drive, the ability to skip through chapters....not just fast forward and rewind?

[zee24]

yes id like this, when i record something id like to have the option skip thru chapters instead of rewinding n forwarding

[leon632]

You can skip through. Go to menu disk manager then skip time. You can change this from 5 secs to 30 mins. 5 mins would be best for chapters then you can use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the remote to skip through.

[leon632]

Blade tweeted again this morning

"We are almost ready to release our really cool new feature for BM7000 Series.. we think you'll love it !"

[tom2josh]

do you input your clines again after factory reset ?
Thanks

[leon632]

Yes. I think you can save them to flash drive or external usb hdd prior to factory reset so that you don't have to input all the info again.

[tom2josh]

cheers thanks for the info

[swifty]

dowloaded the latest firmware but it says corrupted im am using winrar do i need a different programme to unzip it

[Manic01]

hi guys, how do i enter the hidden cline menu? 9991 doesnt work cheers

Hi guys - Ive got the same problem - cant access 9991 - (its my 1st sat box - bought fully clined but cant get hold of my supplier) its got 2010 software on which I want to update, but I believe I need to make a note of the cline details before I upgrade the software or they will be lost ?.
Any advice - thanx

[rupeshbmnoob]

wonder what this "cool feature" they will be releasing "very soon" will be?Your guess is as good as mine. A few posts back, it was suggested that this new feature could be access to a server where you could stream movies from (or something along the lines of that). However, given the highly questionable legality of such a service (especially at this point in time), I doubt this is what the "cool feature" will be.

Perhaps it will be something similar in nature to when the 7 day epg was introduced.

If it has cline info on it,then you should be able to access the 9991 menu.On what screen are you inputting 9991?

Is it possible to stream a sopcast stream or another live stream to the blade bm7000s to view the stream on your tv?
I also noticed some youtube videos don't work if you select the wrong video resolution.

As far as I'm aware, the only streaming to the Blade that you can do is limited to avi (?) using Blade Stream. You can't stream Sopcast content on to the Blade.

However, if you have a PS3 (or an Xbox) you may want to research streaming Sopcast on to that using PS3MediaServer (or something like that). It may work but it may not. ;)

I have now accessed the 9991 menu but cant get details of my cline - its showing connections 0 and 1 connected but when I click on them, it asks for a password which I dont have (and my suppliers telephone number is no longer in use) - Ive tried 0000, 9991, 1234, 9999, etc, but no luck.

Any way to save the 7 day EPG to USB drive? I do get the 7 day guide but I just can't find a way to save it anywhere.

It's just really annoying that you have to redo it again after you switch your box off!

I thought it saved to usb stick when you place the box on standby ? (before switching off)

[bj1]

it does save to usb but the saved data becomes out of date and then you need to update it again.

[Yumraaj]

So let me get this straight.

It automatically saves the 7 day guide to the USB drive but it'll clear it if you switch the box off at the back.

So theoretically if I just switch it off with the remote, the guide should still be there? (hopefully)

as it does save to usb..... but you will find your epg showing the wrong info after a couple of hours

probably down to who supplies the extra channels, if you can access blade online then your connection is fine

Upon installing this new update i've found the box freezes with 0 showing on display the only way to recify this is by pulling the power lead out of the box and then refitting it back in again sounds weird i know but i've reverted back to the earlier firmware.

Just do it again you should be ok if all is working ok

Not really if the one your currently using is fine then don't, there isn't much difference between this and the last fw but this has worked better for me then the last, but every box is different.

I think 12/10/2012 is the latest patched version you'll find it in the sat section, but there is a new one due probably in the next few days as the official one has just been released 4/01/2013. (official version won't have the 9991 menu to input your sub line, patched version will)

To get the 7 day epg do the following:

first scan in transponder 11778V 27500 , and look for the channels like 8010 or portal video 5, they will both appear blank but will download the epg.

select either channel , then press ok and do an epg update and it will download the 7 day epg for you

then select the guide and alter the epg as you wish using the coloured buttons

always select that channel to do the download , when required , as it uses it for its epg information

If you download the channel list from blade media, the epg channel is always the last one in all the groups... You do this from menu/settings /blade online.

Or, download a list from the forum, but be aware that you may have to tinker with it (whatever the source) to get your localised channels.

hiya mate, thanks for that. If i download from blade media online, will channels be put into groups automatically??
You see the box was working perfectly with 7 day epg until about 1 month ago, when a local chap upgraded the firmware, ever since he did this, when i press yellow on 7 day epg channel, it says updating but only now and next appears. Im not sure what he did. could it be that the channel which says 7 day epg is no longer that one?
So Im really not sure what i shoudl do now, should i just factory reset and restore firmware and then use blade online?
many thanks for your help!

should be no problem as long as you can load in the official unpatched firmware from their host site and install it and factory reset afterwards

Hi, I have updated firmware and used bladeonline and channel lists downloaded from this site, but only seem to get now and next on epg. Just cant get 7 day epg. Please can anyone advise me on what to do. I have read that I need to do a scan on a certain freq. How exactly do I do this scan please. Sorry, I am a newbie and have not much experience of this! Thanks very much in advance..

Goto the channel BEFORE chan 1 on any group... Usually called epg or similar, press ok, or select so you are tuned to it, and wait for a couple of minutes. Your epg will now be populated.

If you go to your epg on any channel check that you have the epg set on the correct mode by pressing the green button

Am I correct in saying the 7-day epg will not pull program synopsis (except for freeview channels) past now and next?

[johnjones]

yes thats right, will not show anything apart from now and next even after doing epg update on 7day epg channel

[zee24]

if you read previous posts you would have seen this:

To get the 7 day epg do the following:

first scan in transponder (manual scan) 11778V 27500 , and look for the channels like '8010' or 'portal video 5', they will both appear blank but will download the epg after left on either channel for a min or so.

select either channel , then press ok and do an epg update and it will download the 7 day epg for you

then select the guide and alter the epg as you wish using the coloured buttons

always select that channel to do the download , when required , as it uses it for its epg information

Yes you are correct guys
The blade is capable of downloading the 7 day epg,
But is not capable of downloading anything more than now and next program information.
Not brilliant but at least you get 7 day epg.

[zee24]

you can get more then now and next press guide and the green button you should get epg for the next day atleast especially on the fta channels and most of the pay ones asian channels most likely now and next

[bj1]

So you can get program information on channels after now and next ? The 7 day epg is fine,
Program information repeats itself after now and next,
Thats the problem:stupid:

Hi Ramjet

When scanning for 11778v 27500 on 28.2E no channels come up (also quality showing poor 23%), when i scan for same freq on 19.2 E portal video 5 comes up. But as i am viewing on 228.2e when i go to portal channel, it simply says no or bad signal, hence no epg working.. Thanks very much for your help....

that is because they removed the tv channels

[zee24]

but the epg still works fine on them channel

[johnjones]

ok
so how can i now get the 7 day epg pls?

[BigfatPaulie]

Either download a current channel list from a satellite site, or get one from blade media via MENU/BLADE ONLINE... Then tune to an "7 day epg" chan and leave it there for 5 mins or more... If you bring up the channel list you will see it happening!

there are still radio channels on that transponder and I believe the epg signals are on those too
