IPTV help

[pedro892r]

Hi guys and/or gals
I have a TM 5042 M3 HD CI, I have decided that I will give iptv a try but I haven't got a clue how to go about it. I have done a factory reset on my box (after a back up of course) and I would like some help with what I have to d/l and apply so my box will receive iptv, and how I would go about it. I've done a search but nothing is found and I'm at the stage where my hair is thinning and I can't afford to lose any more.
Thanks in advance.

You need to patch your M3,ie put patch firmware on it,to use the IPTV function(backup your data first):

1 Download the latest patch for the M3 from here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...o=file&id=3572
2 Unzip this file,put it on a usb device and connect the usb device to the M3.
3 Download the firmware by hitting the menu button then scrolling and clicking ok on USB/External Devices then USB Up/Down/File Manger
You should see the files on the usb device with the firmware,if you don't because you have another devices connected then use the yellow button to select
the correct disk.Scroll to the M3 firmware you downloaded and press ok.This loads the firmware and reboots the box.
4 I haven't used iptv but to get the list of channels you press the f4 button.This will access the list that comes with the firmware,very few of these channels will work.
5 To get a new iptv list google m3u file for iptv .You get free and trials ones and pay ones .Download file and get onto the box using the same procedure as above for firmware download(including unzipping or unraring if necessary)
Good luck and cheers

Excellent, just what I was looking for, thanks a lot, I'll crack on with that when I get home. Looks the same as any other patching and I've done that plenty but I just wanted to make sure there was nothing different. Gave you a rep point.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Do you know of a good I**V S*r**r? and is it possible to upload more than one m3u list to the box?
cheers

[markwi]

No,sorry,but you can test them out before you pay,I believe.

Done all that and the iptv option doesn't show in the menu, pressing f4 is still the zoom function and no playlist showing.

What is the S/W version and the Model in the System Information and can you see the CAS Menu button there?

SW ver: is 1.47 (Feb 7 2017) The patching was successful according to the OSD. No CAS button

[markwi]

It should say 1.47p.Try pressing 2004 when the System Information page is up.Also what's the model number in System info?

Cracked it, patched with old sw ver: from TM online on the box, then over wrote it with the latest one and though I don't have iptv option in menu still, I HAVE got CAS menu button now. What next?

[markwi]

Ok.On mine the iptv list comes up when you press the f4 button on the remote.but I couldn't see it in the Menu.

Model number is TM 5402 M3. Still no iptv list on f4 tried all the other f buttons as well, nothing. I can see the diferent iptv providers in the CAS menu but can't find how to get them to show as actual TV on my screen.

[markwi]

Strange.The Cas menu isn't for iptv it's for satellite softcam keys.Are you pressing f4 when in normal screen mode?
