Update for all interested parties. Just got my sammie back from Turbosat, they sorted my machine. They also re booted the firmware. It is V12S, I think that is the standard package? So guess who is going to have to put back the 5 in 1 patch? still have learnt a lot this last few weeks. Thanks to...

Just a line for all those who have been helping, my sammy looks like it is terminal, will talk to the supplier today, looks like a swap is in order. Thanks again for all asistance advice.

thanks very much for that , went there ,got a loader and by hook or by crook reprogrammed my sammy, it went in , deleted old files , put in new files.all looke good. Bad news was when I switched it all back to normal, it was where I started, still locked up. So it must be the basic machine at...

Sorry about not giving you all the details, the 9500 is still allcammed, I tried your info 2old4this, still nothing. so it looks like I will have to re install the software. So I will need : a pc...ok there a serial cable. no problems there ,both straight through and null modem avail software ...

Help, after all this I finally get my set up and running , watching loadsa stuff then.... did a switch off/on to reset last night and now my sammy is not very well . It comes back on , initially on last channel I was watching (40) (yes I here the comments coming in )it then goes ? to channel 0...

Just a quick one on this forum, I have a digi box, set it up in dining room , did rescan , found loadsa channels, BUT since then all I get is a red square i.e no signal ,is everyone else the same?

thanks for that , I have printed and will read and absorb, and if I dont , guess what , another cry for help will appear. Seriously I am coming along great, I think I even know what I am talking about now.

Ok , so I program a card , stick it in my cam and off I go, but after a few days experimentation it dies on me. I understand this is because the provider changes keys to protect his customers. On some web sites there are regular inputs of keys in various form. eg hex. My biggie is where can I...

Thanks for that Rolf, as I now understand the code file is either a code or a flash file the data is either a data or an internal eeprom ( and is not always needed ) and the eeeprom is the external . see I think I finally got it. some info with some files talk about auto updates, is this a norm...

Yes I know this sounds lame ,but could someone please confirm which bits of program go where on a programmer. I have a vxtools micro programmer and am slightly confused. Some files contain internal external and flash code. Some contain code ,data and eeprom. Neither of these fit the labels to...

thanks for that, just to clarify then , my cam as I quoted is one of these euro ones then ? you say it needs to be 'patched'I am sure I read that you can only patch the old ones? am I getting confused with the patch on the samsung?or do I just program a card as say '5 in ' then put it in my...

Similar type of question, my allpatch samsung 9500 viaca it has irdeto cam type 901275as well is this now quite limited? should I go mad and get magic cam ,I understand this does both ver 1 & 2 in most cams, is this correct ? would I then be able to program funcard and get loads of channels...

Well thanks for that info, it would appear that I am on the road to success...at last.... got a good feeling about all this now, still a lot to learn ...and understand but at least I am picking up stations. I will have to knuckle under and get to understand all about encryption now, so that tiny...

I have programmed above card and my set a samsung 9500 patched with irdeto cam recieves lots more channels now. BUT is not repeatable, ie sometimes it comes up with scrambled channel I switch off reciever then switch back on again and it is there, is this normal?
