GTMedia GTCombo 4:2:2 receiver

Didn't know there was an M4 is it any better than the M3 ?

The thread

Technomate 5402 M4

Im not ranting. Im feeding back my findings. Yes i did read the last line of your post. It makes no difference whichever mode i try. I got the firmware from technomate site. TM-5402 M4_300921.bin Factory reset - is a method to bring back the default TP's into the DB - a way in which...

Better support than TM5402 M4 as well!

What support are you referring to.

Found some strange things relating to rx DiSEqC - - when you get time will you create / ADD a new satellite position in 'Antenna Setup' and call it 'Ka Scan' , use LO 17250, select your usual DiSEqC port for the Ka lnb, point dish to to 19East and scan - tell me what you get.

Sorry John missed this. That is exactly what I was doing...Would not download anything with 17250 LOF, but 9750 no problem..

Iv'e still got the suspicion with the pulsating DiSEqC as per the video i sent you - can you hook up to the Hughes lnb to Combo direct , bypassing your DiSEqC switch ?.
I'll post the vid on here asap .

Not for long I fear! All their contributions are over LiveU and IP, they are just sending Camera 1 over satellite as a backup

I'm sure I saw 3 or 4 feeds the other night, 2 medium bitrates on 23.5e and 1 or 2 high bitrates on 3w. All were 4:2:2 though.

Ah shame. Guess the SW feed wasn't 4.2.2 btw ?

Hmm Heritage 4K on Thor not very smooth playback unlike my old mecool K3 pro…

No issue here with Heritage.

No issue here with Heritage.

Actually it was the clip being shown at the time, super smooth with other content

Well there seems to be a rather annoying glitch when trying 14w. I set up blindscan to include T2-Mi but it's continuously stuck in this loop of scanning and sorting data and won't stop. Anyone else?

Ah yes oh well no point in trying the test version either then. Shame hope it gets sorted asap

 

[Channel Hopper]

Yes, I've seen the same issue, though I have a suspicion it is the receiver attempting to process all T2-MI channels found previously into a list of their own in the left column.

Careful, I think it was a blind scan of some frequencies that included T2-M1 that led to my GT Combo becoming bricked.

If I remember correctly I had a similar issue and unplugged the power to try to sort it out and then found the Combo was bust.
It might be totally unrelated to the T2-M1 and just a faulty Combo unit but it is something to be aware of.

There is a fix reported on the GTMedia forum for a bricked Combo that involves shorting a pair of pins but I have not got round to trying it yet.

Further to the above post, the list disappears once a channel is selected. It would be a useful tool if the bespoke group remains.
(Oddly the first channel found arrives with a negative number on the screen)

Btw I mentioned something similar last week

FTA Gems

French Open (aka Roland Garros) jumps around ,France 2 to 3 and 4 (like Wimbledon or snooker does BBC 1,2,3,4) depending on time of the day. if you use French tv often,put France 4 in slot 4 and get rid of "canal plus",it 's encrypted anyway! (France 4 is strangely in the 14 slot in "official...

OMG I managed to get them I think by not selecting FTA mode but they break up a bit even though I have a good signal. Now to try the Italian T2-Mi on 5w

 

[sat-tv-fan]

Can someone check the Springwatch feed ? Badly breaking up, jittery fluctuating signal though shows 69% when I get it, yesterday also. Probably just me
