Technomate 5402 HD CCcam patch. Transfer the.stb file onto the USB key. Insure only the.stb file is on the USB key. Insert the USB key into the front of the receiver. (Open door on the right hand side of the front of the receiver, the USB port is located here). “USB drive is inserted” if it is connected correctly.
Technomate Update
Technomate Keys
- #2I have to say that having had and supplied a number of Technomate receivers including the TM-5402HD CI Plus I have yet to experience the issues you appear to have had. Technomate are a UK based company with Technical support on offer by email or phone.
also a Website with ready available software patch updates for their range of receivers.
Had I had the problem issues you set out I would have followed the afore mentioned route and if unresolved sought to have the receiver replaced under warranty.
The reviews of this particular model from users on this site and others have generally been very positive. - #3The most recent software update for this receiver is 1.40 released this past March and can be downloaded from the Technomate website.
- #4I'll download that and see what difference it makes. Thank you.
- #5I'll download that and see what difference it makes. Thank you.
download what?
In your haste to just slag off, you didn't mention which receiver you were trying to slag off, just the company you were effectively libeling because you've got a problem, whatever problem you do have is almost certainly you based by the way you've posted this & if you just download anything into whatever receiver it is you have it will **** it up, although it will hopefully reject it first.
So start again...
What stb/ dish size / make are you using & general location/s (work - home?).
What are the offending frequencies/ (& symbol rates / pols ideally) on what satellite - #6I'll download that and see what difference it makes. Thank you.
I concur with Pedro's comments here. I found your post lacking in info and clarity as well,
with the only info being the pricing point paid and the fact that you mention it was an HD receiver. Don't just download without checking that it is the correct firmware update for this receiver. You need to tell us the exact model you have and if correct in matching the model I highlighted, you also need to be completely confident in the procedure to update. - #7Having looked at Tivusat - the Italian Freesat service I doubt there is anything wrong at all
with your Technomate receiver . I suggest you look at the service requirements as their are conflicting opinions with regards to whether an Italian address and Codice Fiscale (Italian Insurance Number) are a pre-requiste - just as importantly the package comes with a pre-activated setup aligned to the Humax Tivusat 5400 and 5600 receivers
which suggests that your Technomate receiver isn't fully compliant with this service. - #8Ok, Pedro and Ike, firstly, thank you for your replies. Pedro, I wasn't libelling the company, I was merely asking (albeit heatedly) if they were a budget brand, like so many old names that have now reappeared - but just clones of other cheap sets.
I can't tell you the model as it's at home and I'm in the pub, but will let you know later or tomorrow.
The situation was this:
Rang whichever shop I got it from (ad in WotSat), asking if I could put the card from the Tivusat box I have in it to get RAI HD (as was). They said the CAM would support it. I set it up at my old place of work where I had my own 80cm dish with a quad LNB on Hotbird, which worked well with all my previous (Nokia 9200, 9600, and analogue Tivusat) boxes. On installing the Technomate I could not receive the Mediaset Extra channel (and whatever else was on the same frequency), good signal but no quality. Yet this worked fine on the Tivusat box, so the signal must be fine! On watching RAI HD the picture would be fine for about twenty minutes, then freeze and say 'Scrambled Channel' across the screen. (The card was inserted and working on other Tivusat channels with no problem, on the Technomate). From this point one of two things would happen: 1. It stayed like that until I unplugged the box. 2. It stop/started for about twenty minutes and then carried on ok.
Because where it was plugged in was at the end of a 50 metre, possibly more, cable that was extended and extended, I thought it must be something to do with my installation. A friend had the same box and had problems with Sky on it ( it reads Sky cards apparently), and he said it was because it was overloaded with signal. Then why do all other boxes work fine on the same set up?
After my company finished use of that building I took it home. I had no use for it as I have the Humax Tivusat there, but now I would like to use it in my kitchen. So, I set it up on my 80cm with a different quad LNB and, this time, it's the Mediaset channels Rete 4, Canale 5 and Italia 1 (among others on that frequency), that it doesn't receive. Great signal, no quality. Also, RAI HD (which is now RAI 1). RAI 2 and 3 HD it gets but, guess what?... Only for 20 minutes or so, then the freezing performance experienced at work!
All SD scrambled channels from Tivsat (that it can receive, La7 for example), work perfectly. There is no issue with my Tivusat card.
If I replace the Technomate with the Humax everything works perfectly.
Without giving you guys the model number, it has a black housing with a round silver circle on the left, where there is a 4 digit readout, then a flap on the right to insert my card.
If you could turn this disappointing purchase, finally, into a joy to use, I'd be extremely grateful - #90
- #10It's a 5402 CI
Well, you got one of the best & most popular sat boxes on the market
now what is the frequency or frequencies (pol/ sr) like the Mediaset Extra channel frequency as there's more than one. - #11Sorry, it's not channels 4, 5 and six it won't get, it's the frequency 11.766 v, 27,500. I've tried using normal search, manual search on that transponder and blind search. It gives 98% signal but something like 20% quality and the bars are red, not blue and yellow. This frequency worked ok at the other place.
Something else it does, when going from a HD channel from a standard one, the screen goes black and 'scrambled channel' comes up. This is only resolved by putting the receiver into standby and turning it back on, then everything is fine.
The channels on 11.766 are all visible when I switch the box to a Humax. - #12Sorry, it's not channels 4, 5 and six it won't get, it's the frequency 11.766 v, 27,500.

What is your signal strength like on other transponders? I get 97/85 on 11766 on my 5402 which is about the same as I get from most transponders on Hotbird so it's not like it is weaker. All channels on that transponder work fine for me.
It shouldn't make much difference but what firmware are you running on your box?
If it works with a different receiver then I imagine you can rule out dish, lnb or cable problems. It seems like it is may be a duff receiver. - #13Sorry, it's not channels 4, 5 and six it won't get, it's the frequency 11.766 v, 27,500. .
That's not coming up with Mediasat Extra - Flysat has it on 11919H 27500 & 11373H 29900
11919 is Multistream & ACM/VCM & until recently only available on not cheap 19' rack gear, the odd PC card & stb can do it to a degree & it maybe become available on the TM5402HD M3, although there are so many other parameters that will most probably mean only some multistream will work on some devices.
11373h & 11766v both seem OK, I checked for overload on a Channel Master 1.2 too & although I saw a drop it didn't seem significant. They are DVB-S 3/4 fec so very tolerant & so not some DVB-S2/8PSK high break up issue.
If the signal bars are red then it's an M1 or M2 & isn't locked at all so ignore the power quality readings, they need to be locked to measure. Not to get a lock on a 13e dvbs tp usually means something else is up
The problem could be the lnb frequency isn't set up right -should be set to Universal
or the tp settings but you seem OK on that - go into advance search & scroll to the tp & check the symbol rate & pol are correct
or the problem is at the dish or cables
or it's an electrical fault on something on your system messing it up, that's actually quite common with so many devices connected, usually it's stray juice off an old tv, stb, iffy SMPSU etc, I have found stray voltages on systems up & down the country occasionally enough to get a belt.
or you could have a dud, not impossible but quite rare
tivu isn't that usual for use with a TM so it may be simply partly incompatible - although it shouldn't have an issue with those free to air dvbs channels and maybe a newer patch works better but I can't remember anyone having issues with it or fixes for it. - #14I am pretty sure that your problem with the technomate is non compatibility with the Italian Freesat system which is sold as package including a Humax receiver designed specifically for this service.
See this taken from a UK sales site .
We can only supply this product to customers with an Italian address and Codice Fiscale. The TIVU card can only be activated once the customer has supplied TotalSat with a valid address in Italy and the Codice Fiscale (Italian Insurance number). - #15I am pretty sure that your problem with the technomate is non compatibility with the Italian Freesat system which is sold as package including a Humax receiver designed specifically for this service.

That wouldn't explain why the OP is not getting a signal on a certain transponder. - #16How does the M3 differ to the M1 and M2? There doesn't seem to be any noticable differences between the M1 and M2.
- #17How does the M3 differ to the M1 and M2? There doesn't seem to be any noticable differences between the M1 and M2.
I have the M1 and M2 and I've managed to fill up the channel space on the M2 yet the M1 is just fine, so it must have a smaller channel memory. - #18How does the M3 differ to the M1 and M2? There doesn't seem to be any noticable differences between the M1 and M2.
New & faster chip set / more memory / IPTV & movie downloads / much faster & more accurate blind scan/ more sensitive tuner/ more colour & sound controls/ better detail rendering/ HD Menus/ spectrum analyzer/ direct server downloads for IPTV lists- movie download lists- fw updates & patches etc/ 16APSK & 32APSK compliant/ On board helps & manual/ home share/ Picasa/ Flickr/ improved Youtube/ apps - skins etc. etc,
Takes the same channel lists as the M1 M2 & a few others, plays recordings done on M1 M2.
They've dropped a scart socket & 3 phono component video out, not surprisingly.
The new chipset should give rise to more things in the future with new patches, they've already added several extra features (as well as the usual last minute bug fixes)
M1 M2 should be the same channel list & tp capacity wise, the M2 was supposed to be a security upgrade to help prevent clones but otherwise the same as the original 5402 (later called the M1) - #19I was under the impression the M3 is less sensitive than the original M1 and M2. Personally I think they should have given it a different model number as it looks like just the outer case that is the same...

Thanks Pedro. Obviously quite a substancial difference to the M1 and M2. Sounds like very good value for money. Shame I bought an M2 a few months ago.New & faster chip set / more memory / IPTV & movie downloads / much faster & more accurate blind scan/ more sensitive tuner/ more colour & sound controls/ better detail rendering/ HD Menus/ spectrum analyzer/ direct server downloads for IPTV lists- movie download lists- fw updates & patches etc/ 16APSK & 32APSK compliant/ On board helps & manual/ home share/ Picasa/ Flickr/ improved Youtube/ apps - skins etc. etc,

Don't know where that's from (or maybe I can guess), it's beaten the M1/M2 repeatedly on DVBS on proper Nilesat 102 tests here & using undersized dishes or nudging off on 7.3w & 26e. Done too many tests now, very pleased, typical example would be on Nilesat 102 MBC2 just after noon eg- the hardest part of the day- no signal on M2 (not unexpected) & the M3 has it on albeit glitchy but watchable, That's quite something to beat an M1 or M2 like that.
DVB-S2 is much closer, harder to say which would be ahead on a given situation, seemed to do better on bigger dishes. - #22Don't know where that's from (or maybe I can guess), it's beaten the M1/M2 repeatedly on DVBS on proper Nilesat 102 tests here & using undersized dishes or nudging off on 7.3w & 26e.

What about the Technomate 5302. How does that one rate? Slightly cheaper, I know. My neighbour has got one of them. - #23Don't know where that's from (or maybe I can guess), it's beaten the M1/M2 repeatedly on DVBS on proper Nilesat 102 tests here & using undersized dishes or nudging off on 7.3w & 26e.

Thanks, maybe I shouldn't dismiss it just yet then.... - #24What about the Technomate 5302. How does that one rate? Slightly cheaper, I know. My neighbour has got one of them.
They've not sold in the same numbers as the 5402, I know the menus differ & channel lists are not compatible .cndf & can't be edited as comprehensively as 5402 channel lists but the receivers have their followers. Just not installed enough of them to say much more. - #25Thanks, maybe I shouldn't dismiss it just yet then....
The biggest problem's been they keep selling out, good for Technomate I suppose but very frustrating for installations, my mate took one from the first batch with him on installs just to give it a good widespread test, he could have sold it several times over lol.
