3d) F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE keys - special uses
4) USING USB HDDs & FLASH MEMORY
4a) USB FLASH DRIVES
For basic data save/ backup & some basic PVR use. (see high speed 10Mb/s/ 20Mb/s - 25Mb/s or much faster USB HDD rates (100Mb/s- 120Mb/s)
We have tested & recommend the following but production batch speeds may vary.
Patriot RAGE QUAD USB Flash Drives- (quoted up to 25MB/s write speeds - tm5402hd tested Read/Write = 20MB/s Write = 42MB/s Read = 38MB/s)
or
SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drives- (tm5402hd tested Read/Write = 20MB/s Write = 42MB/s Read = 38MB/s)
PLUG & PLAY - NO NEED TO FORMAT!
These are for basic data saving/ loading & limited pvr use- especially HD pvr use & you should try to make sure write & read speeds are capable of the recording you wish to do- most will record the highest bit rates SD up to 3 channels at once & single HD/3D recordings plus the TM5402 can also play back/ pause- rewind/ff live tv or stream at the same time.
Better ones can record HD at higher bit rates but for serious PVR use you should use a HDD with much higher write / read rates & for routine triple recording of high bit rate HD / 3D choose the best rated HDD/s.
Every 4Gb can store between 1 1/2 to 4 hours of SD depending on broadcast quality (the better quality - the shorter the available) & between 1/2 & 1 hr HD - some still picture flick screen channels may exceed these record time figures & a few very high broadcast HD channels reduce the end resul.
Data write & read figures vary from manufacture & within their model versions. Sandisk Cruzer Blade 16Mb are basic but capable of triple SD & single HD recording & all data transfer.
Ultra & Extreme Sandisk versions that claim 10-20Mb/s write speeds
4b) USING USB HDDs
For PVR use.
We recommend self powered Western Digital Passport HDDs These are rated over 56Mb/s write capable & over 70Mb/s read capable- you can find much higher & lower. (tm5402hd tested Read/Write = 20MB/s Write = 43MB/s Read = 37MB/s)
Tested here up to 1tb but may allow larger, format in the TM5402HD in seconds & are ready to use in minutes from plugging in & seem to work flawlessly on triple SD recordings - single HD/3D recordings - pause- FF-Rewind live TV / replay recordings or stream at the same time.
These may record 2 or 3 HD channels at once without fault depending on bit rates, eg. BBC HD bit rates are c. 9Mb/s but some HD channels can be as high as 23Mb/s or higher & it also depends on how much bandwidth is being used on the 2 or 3 HD channels being recorded - more colours & shades & more / faster movement will increase bandwidths over all recordings & shared bit rate TPs will alter other channels to share the high load times- low colour- shade- movement will reduce overall bandwidths used & triple HD will be easier.
4c) DOES & DON'TS FOR USB HDDs & FLASH DRIVES
Do not format USB FLASH DRIVES if they are already plug & play - they also can contain files/ programs for use on a PC & network.
Avoid cheap usb flash drive - always try to use good quality brands & fast write speeds.
Avoid cheap unbranded usb hdd interfaces (USB tiy SATA or USB to IDE etc.).
Avoid cheap usb hubs- we haven't tested enough brands yet.
Avoid powered hdds
Avoid using older HDDs & any that have to be specially formatted to get them to function at all or any that show poor record speeds/ intermittent performance in any way that can cause other issues later on & on other drives or the system & is not recommended from the start.
4d) TROUBLE SHOOTING (USB DRIVES)
If you have an old drive that you want to use ignoring the above warnings & it is problematic such as an old hdd or low speed / cheaper unbranded flash drive or cheaper usb to hdd interface, you can partition it in a PC & try formatting using fat32format/128, but drives that are not compatible often stay problematic in long term use & cause unrelated issues elsewhere in the receiver, especially if they have previously failed on a PC & you can lose your recordings using cheap or old devices!
5) RECORDING VIDEO & EDITING/ TRANSFERING
5a) PAUSE LIVE TV -RW<>FF PLAY TIMESHIFT (see also 5h AUTO TIMESHIFT)
Press PAUSE button at any time will pause live TV & allow fast foreword - rewind & play of the timeline as it build up.
5b) MAKING RECORDINGS
For instant recording of the channel you are on press record, if there is an EPG the length recorded will default to the program's end, pressing it again will allow you to alter the record length.
Instant record - just press red record button example of stopping a single record
For manually set TIMER recordings press EPG & then the RED button & use the on screen menu or press MENU/ USB / TIME MANAGER to set start / end times / if once- daily- Mon-Fri- Weekly & choose the program & satellite information & whether you want to record or just play the program/ film (& possibly then record on another connected recording device etc..)
EPG + Red button linked manual timer settings OR MENU USB Timer Manager
For EPG set recordings press EPG & just scroll to the program you wish to set a timer for & click the RECORD button on it to mark it for recording or just click OK to just have the receiver play it at the time.
EPG Timer setting without recording. ....with recording (now in red)
For Radio (audio) recordings click on the TV/RAD button & repeat the above - ideally set the radio backgroundnd picture to off in settings menu to save recording memory.
5c) TRIPLE RECORD SD 
Press record on the 1st channel- move to the 2nd channel & click record & them to the 3rd & click record, the receiver will not let you access channels that are not on the same frequency - to stop press stop & you will be asked which recording to stop.
5d) TRIPLE RECORD HD .OR MIXED SD & HD
Make sure you have a USB HDD or FLASH DRIVE fast enough to deal with multiple HD recordings (write speeds) & the bit rates the channels you want to record that can range from c. 5Mb/s to over 23Mb/s.
5e) EDITING VIDEOS & AUDIO ON THE TM5402
Select FILE LIST from remote
Press Yellow button to DELETE/ RENAME/ LOCK or make NORMAL
Edit recordings - RENAME DELETE LOCK NORMAL

Start edit point to cut or copy end point for cut or copy
Press OK at the desired start point & OK at the desired end point & choose COPY (to make a copy of that section- a new stand alone video file will be created & numbered 1# 2# 3# etc..)
or choose CUT to cut out the selected section (such as advert breaks)
AUDIO FILES - (recorded radio) are recorded as video & audio - we recommend setting the radio background to blank in settings to reduce memory use & later edit/ rip the MP3 audio using PC software.
5f) EDITING VIDEOS & AUDIO ON A PC
.ts video files - converting / editing
5g) PLAYING AVI & DIVX FILES ON THE TM5402HD
Press F2 in playback mode to see AVI / divx files so you can view video files made on a your PC etc..
5h) AUTO - TIMESHIFT ON THE TM5402HD (see also 5a normal TIMESHIFT)
The TM5402HD has auto-timeshift (continuous timeshift) from 10 mins to up to 120 mins buffering that stays on working in the background all the time once you switch it on. It restarts from 00:00 each time you swap channels / satellites or do any recordings but isn't interrupted if you stream/ use You Tube steaming or replay prerecorded videos at the same time etc.
If you leave the TM5402HD on a channel with auto-timeshift switched on, you can effectively rewind live tv up to 2hrs back at any time on that channel & replay/ pause/ FF/ RW/ slow motion replay & jump to live TV.
[to switch on ... Press MENU -> USB -> DISK MANAGER -> Timeshift Rec Time set to 10min to 120min & Auto Timeshift set to ON]
Requires a good compatible HDD or fast USB FLASH DRIVE.
6) MOTOR USAGE
TIPS- getting the most out of motorised & USALS
To check & peak weak satellites & generally motor positioning ...
Press the POS button to bring up on screen motor positioner at anytime- nudge east or west carefully one touch at a time - if the signal quality increases make a note of the direction it increased but do not save or it will swap to diseqc 1.2 (on that satellite)- instead we advise to go into motorized settings & try altering the satellite's longitude 0.1 degree in that direction at a time & check the signal until it peaks out & starts to go down & save the new temporary position at the highest signal level.
This can happen if a chimney/ tree/ noise source or street lamp etc.. is in the way at that satellite or there is oveloads from a big dish on a powerful satellite on a weak transponder.- altering USALS instead of swapping to Diseqc 1.2 keeps all satellites correct & if all satellites are out- this means the motor is off &/or the dish's bracket has bent slightly & it will tell you exactly by how much where diseqc 1.2 cannot- a small correction (on your true longitude the other way fooling the motor to move all satellites that amount the other way!) is acceptable as 1 degree at the dish is 0.07mm @ at the stub.
EG: 21.5e is very near the very powerful & highly populated 19.2e - in the UK moving away slightly can help reduce bleed over from 19.2e resulting in a higher quality reading - move too far and the result will inevitably be it will go down but at 21.6e ...to .... 21.9e you may gain an overall improvement- (this will not happen in the middle of the footprint). 7w Nilesat or 4w reception are others you may wish to experiment with but most will be fine in USALS.

10a FEEDS ... AND ADDING NEW CHANNELS / SATELLITES & FEEDS 
ADDING FEEDS FOR FOOTBALL / SPORTS / CONCERTS etc.
You can pick up live broadcast feeds from around the world as they are sent back to the studios here. These are often left open & can be viewed including live English football maches / sports events of all types/ live concerts etc. etc.. and news feeds.
So how do I get all these Broadcast TV feeds on the Technomate TM5402HD?
The TM5402HD can blind scan any satellite to look for feeds & you can use regular reported feed TPs off lyngsat .... but the easiest & quickest way is just to go to www.satelliweb.com where feeds are reported hourly by other enthusiasts, look through the live DIRECT FEEDS section -
CHOOSE FEEDS YOU CAN RECEIVE WITH YOUR DISH SIZE.
NOT - crypte / enc' encrypted/ or multistream (requires a pc card or 17" rack equipment atm)
4:2:2. FEEDS . On most satellite receivers you cannot see 4:2:2 broadcast feeds LIVE as they are transmitted in a slightly different format however if you record them you can still view them afterwards by playing them back on a PC with appropriate software that plays .ts files and on Linux E2 receivers you can stream the transport stream out to a PC or other device & show it live.
EXAMPLE FOOTBALL FEED SENT FREE TO AIR...
Goto the satellite in question (eg above 10 east)
press MENU >>>> over to >> Advance Search & click OK to enter that menu
look through the transponders using the blue ring sideways buttons (also used for vol+/-) to see if you have the frequency (within 1, 2 or 3 out is OK)
& the same polarization (H or V)
& the same SR (symbol rate)
as on the feed you chose on www.satelliweb.com ... 
checking the frequency/ symbol rate & polarization.
to these (ringed in red )
if you do find a match the LEVEL & QUALITY bars should light up yellow & blue.
LEVEL IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
QUALITY IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
press red button to scan for the feed ...
And those are the FEEDS being scanned in & SAVED now...
PRESS EXIT to exit back to the screen & find the new feed..
And there's the match .. in HD this one, they are usually in higher broadcast quality- success! ..

11) SW BUG REPORTS 5402
BUG REPORTS FOR TECHNOMATE SW & PHANTOMPATCHES SUSPECTRED & CONFIRMED
As with all software/ hardware bug reports are useful especially for 3rd party unofficial software.
System crashes while editing a large number of tps - always save regularly/ keep tps under max allowed.
******************************
11a) FAULT FINDING TIPS
Many diverse faults can be caused by using cheap/ faulty/old &/or slow USB devices just the same as having an unreliable device on a PC/Laptop can cause all sorts of apparently unrelated faults that disappear when the device is removed- see recommended USB devices.
Faults can arise from attaching to devices with electrical faults such as old sky boxes/ tvs/ vcrs / new or old smpsu's with hf-rf faults etc.. including in other rooms via coax aerial leads or av leads or shared LNB cables on twin/quad/octo lnbs/ lnb switches or using lopp through to or from a faulty receiver.
Faults can arise from errors in flashing / patching or images becoming corrupted over time.
If you see a fault or faults that are unusual you could have a corrupt image or flashing issue - typical signs are certain obvious options that stop working.
If in doubt & for good regular housekeeping, back up all & re flash to original latest Technomate software - do a factory reset & reload the channels & test for a few days - if the fault has disappeared re flash with the latest patch.
