How to load a new patch
Check the receiver Software version you have, it is shown in MENU >> System Information - if it has a p after it - it's a Phantompatch- if not it should be the original Technomate (see below for updates of the original software).
With your USB flash drive (or HDD) in the TM5402HD  always back up the TM5402HD first
Click on above Phantompatches link & download the latest [or preferred] version & the Addon file (Addon_02 or newer if there is one).
un zip if needed on the PC
Insert your USB drive back in the laptop
Copy the Phantompatch & addon file to the USB pen.
Put your USB pen back in the receiver.

Press MENU ...>>> ..go down to ...>>>..  USB ...>>> & over to >>>  .. Data Transfer .. & press OK to enter the menu
look for the file ....  Phantompatch-TM5402HDCI_xx_xx_xx (xx= date etc)

ready? (scared?-  don't be afraid - don't be very afraid...  but if you brick it - it can be outside the guarantee- proceed at your own risk)

click OK on it & leave it & do not switch off & hope there's not a power cut

It will take a while showing you a progress bar & then go off & reboot the receiver.

(If you haven't loaded the Addon_02 file previously & this is the first patching you now need to repeat the above & click on the Addon-02 file if you want that too-it will load faster & reboot the same)
& that's it ...

Please ensure any mature content is & retains pin number protection! 
All our channel lists have mature content LOCKED & pin protected/ please do not remove this in situations where content could be viewed by minors or adults that would find it offensive & we advise locking any new channels  - deleting mature content channels is not recommended as when you rescan at any time they will be rescanned in but UNLOCKED! however if they are already stored & LOCKED they will stay locked.
Locking mature channels does not mean you cannot access them- it means only those with the pin can.


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 My 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!

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.

TECHNOMATE EDITOR
CLARKE-TECH EDITOR

7e ADDING NEW CHANNELS MANUALLY THAT DON'T SCAN IN
You may wish to add some channels manually rather than scanning or blind scanning a whole satellite as this can take longer & add unwanted channels you've previously deleted.
HERE'S ONE WAY OF ADDING A SINGLE NEW CHANNEL

on your tm5402 or TMF3/5 etc..... go to the satellite ... [eg 27.5w]

if the tp [transponder] is already in, skip to input a single channel

to add a new transponder
press menu / advance search / then green button
then input the tp frequency/ symbol rate polarization
[eg the UK PBS back haul transponder on 27.5w that can prove difficult to scan in on some software/hardware versions
frequency = 11494 polarization = v Symbol Rate = 44105]
exit & save

input a single channel
press menu / edit channels
... add channels .. 

select the tp ... 
choose a name eg film4 hd 
input the 3 pids [eg for film 4 hd]
VPID 7501
APID 7502
PPID 7501
& 
video type HH.264
audio type HE-AAC

EXIT & SAVE

9) USING SKY CARD IN TM5402HD
(including cards that have other entitlements without sky- eg bt sport/ setanta/ asian channels etc.)
Your legitimate Sky card should work inserted in the TM5402s card reader, 

If the TM5402 does not recognise the Sky card ..
**********************
insert in sky box & get box key from sky box's info menu/s
insert your card in the TM's card reader 
in the menus go to smart card & press ok
ensure it has recognised the card
then press yellow button & insert numbers in decimal
exit to save.

(legitimate use in other receivers/ needs to be refreshed in a sky box from time to time)*
This allows you the same access as a Sky box but you can have your channels in your most favoured order & use up to 16 favourites to organise them for yourself & family plus more record options & retain the use of recording without their excessive fees should you cancel your sky subscription. 




 *********************************
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.

New from the factory, most satellite receivers hold a database / list of frequencies [ transponders = tp's] for each satellite at the time of manufacture or last sw version - but they don't know what's up there at any one time after that, as satellites can change / move & frequencies [tps] can change over time including the other bits of data that go with the tp [symbol rate / fec / etc]

So you do need some way of keeping them up to date - 

you can..

Some receivers can or can be made to auto update overnight [via sat or net]

Download a ready made [up to date] channel list HERE
 

or

Normal Scan with the existing tp list will update channels for the stored frequencies that are still correct

Normal Scan with network search ON can update a tp list from data off the satellite just from the existing tp list, but it is not universally used, so only useful where it's used

Blind scanning - a good blind scan can do a very good job [non e2 Technomates are pretty good] & get you ahead of the listings sites like flysat kingofsat lyngsat, but some not so good blind scan receivers can take ages &/or fill a receiver with duplicates & miss loads - many receivers don't have blind scan

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.

Looking for MORE FREE FOOTBALL matches - match times - providers/broadcasters around the arc- PLUS OTHER SPORTS EVENTS
.... goto LJS- LIVEONSAT.COM 

Simply go to the satellite in question & the channel the match is on (usually already stored in favourites - SPORTS ).
Brown indicates it's free to air or has a BISS key.
If the channel is not there you will need to scan it in using the information provided in the panel as you put your cursor over the broadcaster ...
for example only ...
if the Satellite is... 10e   Frequency = 10994 Symbol rate = 5000 & Polarization is V

GOTO 10e..  PRESS MENU ... Go over to Advance Search .. & search for the transponder -
the example would look like this it will look like this & if it isn't there in the list add or edit it so you have the channels frequency etc..

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.

******************************
12b) 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.

USB HDDs & FLASH DRIVE SPEEDS
###Notes from Sandisk manufacturer about USB memory stick & other memory write/ read speeds

USB Flash Drives
Most of the SanDisk USB flash drives fall under the entry level category unless otherwise labeled as Ultra or Extreme.

Entry level USB drives do NOT have any defined transfer speed.

The Ultra and Extreme USB flash drives MAY vary from 10MB/s to 25MB/s depending on the specific product.

other memory for comparison.

SD/SDHC/SDXC cards
The standard (Blue labeled) line has a minimum transfer speed as defined by the Class Specification printed on the label.

For example, a Class 2 SD/SDHC card will have at least a read/write speed of 2MB/s. Class 4 SD/SDHC card will have a minimum transferspeed of 4 MB/s.

The transfer speed of the Ultra, Extreme and Extreme Pro SD/SDHC/SDXC cards are listed on the card and the packaging. Depending on when the product was manufactured, the Ultra cards speed can range from 10MB/s to 30MB/s. The Extreme and Extreme Pro cards speed can range from 20MB/s to 30MB/s. The defined transfer speed is calculated using benchmark applications and refers to maximum sequential transferspeed.

CompactFlash cards
The standard line CompactFlash cards do NOT have any defined transfer speed. These are entry level cards and will generally be slower cards suitable for low end entry level cameras.
