Technomate 1500 help AGAIN!!!

CremeDeLaCreme

I've just got my ART sports card through the post today. I've slotted it into the receiver, it says initialising card but then says 'invalid card'. I've tried inserting it upside as one of my friends suggested but that hasn't worked and it just does the same procedure

I did notice though that when I went into the menu, it states in brackets for the slot reader as [conax] - is there a way for me to change this to viaccess? or do I need a cam

I've only had the receiver for about 4 weeks and it's got the Darkman patch

Help is urgently needed as the Premiership kicks off on Saturday

Thanks in advance

Yeshi

well its only late thursday so you have plenty of time..

First off make sure the card chip is facing down.. and also make sure you have the latest patch from darkman.

CremeDeLaCreme

I've put it in upside down but it's saying the same thing

The system states the following;

S/W Darkman 1.93p (Jun 29 2006)
H/W 2.10 (8:10)

is the Darkman patch out of date already?

Razor

That patch may be out of date.

Here is a post by AAA from another site.


1. Download to your pc the TM loader 1.5 or loader as required depending on your stb and the bin file from darkman.
2. connect the NULL MODEM serial cable to your pc and stb.
3. Open tm loader 1.5 and load /browse the right file.
4. Your stb must have power/switched on from the back (standby mode)
4.Click on connect on the tm loader and power on your TM 1500
Loading starts, wait till it finishes ( writing and erasing)
5. Power off, connect scart or whatever power on

Thanks toturn the patch on?
You do this by going to Menu, then System Information, then press 2 0 0 4.
You should then have Cas Menu and Biss Menu at the bottom of the screen.
If you can't see Cas Menu and Biss Menu, then the patch isn't turned on

type 2004 in the system information menu and it will switch the patch off
and you can use your cam, reverse the procedure to switch the patch back on


difficulties do arise when using a cam when the patch is active,
you should disable the patch to make the cam & card accessible to the reciever.
Type 2004 in the system information menu and it will switch the patch off
and you can use your cam,
reverse to switch it back on.

to check
When the Cass & Biss buttons are displayed the patch is On,
and when the patch is Off, they are not displayed

**************************************

AES

for Technomate 1000 series use *01* & *11*
make sure you use the correct window as there is 2 for tps 1 for 007c00 other is for aes

as you have noticed there are 2 sets of codes,
the first 16 digits go on the first line and the next 16 digits go on the second line,
when thats done save it,
come out of the cas menu then turn the receiver off for about 30seconds,
then turn it back on,then all should be ok,
remember the keys change everyday.


AES keys for today, opened up CASS and found the TPS section with the four lines,
with as got a mixture of numbers and letters.
I can input the numbers but can't seem to input letters ?

press the a-z button on the remote and set of keys will appear with letters and numbers

********************************************



If you do a factory reset you will lose all your stored sats and channels
if you do a factory reset it will not wipe the Patch.
you can turn patch On and Off and it will not effect anything you have stored
Go to Menu select system information and just type 2004 to turn patch On or Off

create a favourites list first m8. then you can group them in whatever folder you want to, and rename them

use a NULL MODEM CABLE to connect to your stb , preferably from a proper com port , and not an adapter !!!

Patches and loaders can be found here.

Any of the top 3

Don't mind my spelling

Thanks Razor.

The part that says 'If you can't see Cas Menu and Biss Menu, then the patch isn't turned on'

Well I can see both them options. So I'm assuming the patch is on

I'll have a go at turning it off later on tonight. To turn the patch back on all I have to do is type '2004' in the system menu, correct?

If none of the above work, could I get a cam and use that with the ART card? The patch will be turned off, so that should have no problems then, I hope

wod

shouldn't need to mess with the patches as the receiver can read viaccess cards as the card reader is multi crypt.

Razor

Did come multi crypt ready, or does it need some TLC to make it multi crypt.

Don't mind my spelling

wod

should work out of the box, when i had one it worked fine with viaccess cards

CremeDeLaCreme

Ah, a fellow Yorkshireman. On your menu screen does the card slot reader (the one right at the bottom) say [conax] or something else

beintot

all the technomate 1500ci+ say conax on them,as others are saying the card should work immediately with or without a recent patch,with the patch disabled or enabled it ought to work.
I had the technomate 1500ci+ but no longer have it.

CremeDeLaCreme

Thank guys for all your advise.

I went to the installer and he told me the receiver prob needs patching. Handed him the box and 5mins later voila ART channels are up and running

beintot

hi,glad you got the art card working,odd that it had to be updated from the original firmware for it to work,did he update it with official technomate firmware latest version?
