Looks like the Technomate HD is out on 17Th September with a price tag of £299 for the DVB-S / T combo model.

It's looks like a upgrade from the TM1000D with not too many things to offer

On another forum some people have already got this receiver.

tigertimtim

iam getting delivery tommorow

with the sort of emu software support technomate has how can it have little to offer ?

olisun

compare this with similarly priced / technically spec'd receivers you will know the difference.

No Linux
No internal HDD support
No ethernet port
No support for 4:2:2 feeds
Ugly looking

Regarding suppport, one will have to wait and watch

tigertimtim

none of the hd boxes do 4.2.2 so thats a no argument for a start
as regards patches Darmans already said its getting support striaght away
couldnt give a monkeys about linux i dont cs, i want something user friendly
yes pvr would have been better built in
ugly looking, erm i shall be watching the tv screen not the sat reciever

I believe the Quali receiver does 4:2:2 and it can be bought for as low as 220 euros.

Anyways I hope you will be happy with your purchase.

Which one of the 2 did you buy and for how much?

tigertimtim

the single for £279

olisun

U can get the single for £248

EDIT: The first patch is out already for both the boxes

First of all the major HD channels Bbc and Premier plus national geograhic were easy to scan in, so far ive managed to clear 10 HD channels including a couple of promos.

Darkmans patch and diablo cam both work well, Kabel Duetchland clears with diablo.
The interface is much like the 1000 series, the tuner is as sensitive as my TMS model so good news.
Scanning the HD channels requires looking at a site like kingofsat because theres 3 different formats to pay attention to, the pilot setting usually needs to be off to pick up the channels.

Yes the SD quallity is improved through upscalling, i cant make my mind up weather i prefere 720p or 1080i for HD though.

Theres possibly a bug, unless its just my reciever in that the move channel function doesnt work.

hi tiger, if you give it a little more study you will find that you can pick out loads of channels ,mark them, [not sure how many it can move at one time] but its a lot,...then click on move, select where to move , then ok,..this box is great,teddie,.
