My old(er) TM box is dying slowly I think so... given that I've not been following the techie development of stbs over the last few years, what should I replace it with? I want a box that will drive a motorised dish, be flash upgradable with patches to unscramble 'certain' channels for...

I've got a TM 5200 HD and a darkmotor attached on the dish. All was fine until a recent update (but that may be a coincidence too) and now only a few satellites will be located by the dish. It is firm on Astra 19 but won't move to HB 13 for instance, yet will track to an extreme east/west sat...

Hi Dave, What do you mean by ' install the alternative software'? There's another way to update these boxes? Yes, I've heard of the homeplugs way, but will prob drag a wire over to the corner! If I purchase the box with the updated software on, I guess the gifts will be live for a while at least...

I've been told that if the Protek box isn't connected all the time to the Internet then no channels can be watched... can anyone verify if at least the FTAs can be viewed? Thinking this is the box for me but no i/net connection yet near the tv...

I thought my remote had died, so ordered a new one and it still isn't working. It IS the right one.. someone then told me that it might be a swap between type 1 and 2 remotes, that in fact the box may have reset itself? The software has been dodgy for a few weeks now, jumping randomly to...

let's wait and see if any moderators or other experts in the field answer!

I think I need to consider updating the boxes, especially to get freesat. The set up I had considered was 2 stbs, one for a motorised dish (80cms) and another for a new freesat dish. However, reading up on this it looks like I could use a new Humax foxsat stb as the main stb for both systems? If...

Why have my Premiere film channels suddenly gone awol since about a week ago with no auto update any more? According to the setup AU is still active, any ideas?

Thanks! A-sat forums give some interesting reading on the quality or not of this box...

HI all, about to buy a TM 5200D USB box which Iam reliably informed can be patched. Has anyone got a media clip showing how to do this either via null modem or memory stick? Never done it before, and don't want to crash anything!

As someone new here I am still intrigued by the master codes which you can download. I have a Technomate 5000 system which isn't listed on the website given. I don't expect anyone to respond on the forum publically (too many already I suppose) but if someone could reply privately about how to...

Ok, post 2! With my Technomate 5000D. I'm now reading the handbook and it tells me I need to download software updates? I haven't since purchase some 12 months ago. Do I need to? How, does nayone know? What extra will it give me? I know that ther are no card sockets on this machine, but is there...

My first posting! Having succesfully 'tweaked' my DVD player to multi region, I was wondering if similar things might be done with a sat receiver? Alternatively, where do I get the cards? My version/make is in the title, currently only FTA is available. Any legal ideas? B
