[pipeman1]

Thanx guys,,like ive said the last box i was playing with,,apart from my partners,hah,was a tm5400....and just wanted to give you big thanx because if you dont know where to start with being a neebie with this receiver then proper info from helpers goes a long way.Cheers Digicon,and Benny/9

[pipeman1]

ps,,,,,i dont have a usb stick,can i do all of this with my null modem cable?

[digicon]

I am unsure if you can flash the TM linux receivers via Null Modem cable as you would need the relevant software to use with the cable, Generally a USB Pendrive is used to flash the receiver

************************************************** ****
the images are in usb form and they wont load via
a null modem cable that way requires the image in nfi format.
use a usb stick mate it's the best and easiest way
as for usb sticks i was in pc world near me and they have them on sale

SANDISK 8GB Cruzer Edge USB Memory Stick ?2.99

first i would use the tm download center for image updates etc
add t t to this link h**p://www.downloadtmsw.com/bbs/main.php
after you have flashed the image you will need to set the menu's up
for tv and set the tuner for usals and enter the long/lat settings for you
house, motor to find them you need a site like this one
Latitude and Longitude of a Point, next you need to scan the channels and satellites you set on your tuner setup, and as i said earlier you need to get a dreambox edit and the DCC [dreambox control center] set up on
your computer then you can load and transfer items to and from your tm twin
you can find these programmers to download free from a google, and both are
very easy user friendly. and apart from the image you cant load other items by usb
thats why you need these panels. also in this section i posted my chn list for multisat
for anouther member if you want to try it.

[pipeman1]

is there any chance you can explain how to add certain things so i can watch the tv now thanx as i have the new flash working but cant get a picture,Thanx again.

we need a bit more info mate on what you had done.
have you set the box menu's up?
and are you on a motorised or fixed dish?
have you set the tuner up for the satellites?
and do you have a channel list on the box?
even though you have flashed the image it
needs to be set correctly to work or it wont
find or even open the free to air channels

[pipeman1]

ok well ive now scanned a couple of sats on to my box,and i have a motorised system,,so i now have tv stations on but certain ones are saying no sid in pat,,,,help,,,i have no clue,,what to do,,,now.

[pipeman1]

also i have placed the two programs on my desktop,,dcc and crap i forgot its name but the other one you mentioned,haha,

[pipeman1]

or does anyone want to buy it,,its doing my head in,lalala,,nowt like my very old tm5400 haha,,showing my age now.

[benny/9]

you could have a few dead transponders in your sat list
that could be why your getting the no sid/pat message,
surely there must be free to air channels that are open?
most linux box users load a xml file that put all the latest
live transponders in the box, i guess you have a disec motor
and if thats correct once you set the tuner up with your long lat settings
the dish will find all the satellites, plus most use a satellite/channel list
and dont need a satellite/chn scan to find the channels. this is why you need
to do a lot of reading and members help at first if your new to linux box receivers
as for your age thats nothing to do with it, loads of linux box users are a lot older
than you mate and we dont have problems. you just need loads of patients to get
the best from a linux receiver. these are not plug and play receivers,

[pipeman1]

i do have free stations on the receiver,,and a lot of others that i cant watch,,if you know what i mean,,,just wanted someone now to tell me what i have to put into the dcc and that other program you mentioned,,i keep forgetting,,for me to send to my receiver,,so i can watch the other stations mate.i do appreciate your help in this matter.
