I have a Technomate 5400CI Plus usb, and a 1m dish. I have always used sattelite cards in the pc to do my viewing, but recently I bought this technomate 5400+ usb super as i heard great reviews.
Currently I am on 13E and 19E with Dual LNB. Have been for 6 years.
Are there any prem fwtball matches still on these signals or am i better off turning the dish now.
I previously watched Premiere, TPS, Multivision, but i believe these packages are oll shut now.
Is there packages still available now I have the Technomate?
Any advice is much appreciated as Sly are much too expensive to watch football on at the moment.

advice

hi, well there is a package on 1 west called digi-tv with fapl/movies/xxx and so on which is available with keys but there are plenty of channels available on astra/hotbird with the new patch(jsc+1-8/art/sct/bis-tv) where you will find plenty of football. in future you might want to go for a motor for you dish they arent expensive and are possible to fit yourself. ive added the patch for your receiver just load it onto a pen drive and transfere the files onto your box ( fat 32 format)via the usb port. . regards mdt

Thanks, unfortunately i put this patch on , Magicpatch-TM5400CI_5600CI_SUPER_131p_20100125.rar (1.32 MB, 31 views)

Now I cant start the box, seems to be coming on but nothing but blackscreen on TV? Any ideas.

Do you have technomate or technotrend?

[Manic01]

If its not a super version you ahve loded wrong patch.
Try to reflash with correct patch ie non super patch or do a forced download.
How to do forced download
1) Download latest patch for your model
2) unzip/unrar patch
3) Open Darkman loader 187
4) locate the file you have just downloaded
5) click connect
6) switch your reciever off at the back
7) switch it back on again
8) loading will start automaticaly

This may have to be done a few times till it actually loads but it will definately load and then all will be ok again.

technomate 5400+ usb+ super , ill give it a go now.
Cheers.

Im sorry do i need cables to do this?

[Manic01]

No unzip patch to usb and then load via usb stick.
If trying forced downlaod you will need laoder and null modem cable.

[OldBloke]

make sure you unzip the patch 1st mate,then put it on usb stick,it wont work if you just stick the downloaded zipped file straight onto ur usb stick.

[blaenau2000]

The box isnt working I dont think, seems theres nothing coming through to the TV, was working before patch upgrade? but it is showing 0000 on the screen now but nothing else working.
Does it mean i will need to Force the patch, with cables? Ive just bought the cable off Amazon now, hope this works, not having much luck so far.

Thanks For youre help all.

[Manic01]

Yes forced download needed by sounds of thing.

I had this problem, this is how i get mine to work every time i have to power it off at the wall. turn everything off unless it's allready off. Switch it on at the wall then at the back of the box (standby will come on but a black screen will be shown) press the standby/power button on the front of the box it should then come on :-)

hope this helps

Ok, I have bought the cable, but I have no connection on back of PC for it? Why would that be? Do i need to get something else?

[Manic01]

usb serial coverter if you bought null modem cable.
