Also bought technomate 1500+ (obviously why im here) and im trying to get my head around some of the terminology on here.
So first thing I did was patch the receiver with darkmans latest patch, that all appeared to work fine, however it didnt seem to have unlocked any channels. I noticed under menu->System Information there are menus for CAS and BISS. Under CAS i noticed i can see lots of different slots for cams, i assume these are like "virtual" slots for each cam.. am i supposed to mess with these at all?
I changed the opening 4 or 5 to just different encryption so it now looks like
irde/beta, seca, idea/beta, nagra, crypto.
After much browsing around the channels i noticed the German Premier channels were unlocked, cool! (tho this may have been working before i messed around in the CAS menu). So next I came on here to read some more and keep seeing a reference to something called TPS, tho ive no idea what TPS is?!? and "softkeys" which seem to have a connection to the cam/encryption in some way... can someone explain this to me in plain english?
So then I thought "right, im obviously supposed to upload one of these tps bin files?!" so i downloaded the latest one "TechnomatE by LR1TpS AbSaT OK 19 To 20.3.2007" and now Premier isnt working again.... bugger.
Can someone tell me, nice and simply, what im supposed to do with a new box? Install darkman patch then install that TPS file? Just install Darkman patch? install something different from Darkman? Throw my box out the window?
Believe it or not Im completely IT literate and usually find anything technical a breeze, but trying to get my head around something new like this when there is little or no plain english explanation is causing me a lot of confusion.
Thanks in advance.
