how to patch a technomate receiver with a null modem cable
**************************************** ******
it's the same way for all models tm1000/ tm1500/ tm1600/tm3000/tm5000/tm6000
**************************************** **************************************** *******
[1] you need a null modem cable [female to female 9 pin ends]
if you use a laptop you also need a usb to serial converter
if your laptop does'nt have a 9 pin com port to use the cable in.
[2] next you need to download the v187 loader panel [this is the latest]
[please note the tm 3000 series have there own loader and dont use the v187 loader]
[3] now download the latest patch for your model [super or original]
you must use the correct patch they only work on the correct receiver.
[4] now that you have all the above and you have your receiver set-up and all the satellites and channels with the free to air channels opening.
[5] first open the zipped folder and take the patch out ready to load on your stb: if you download to your desktop, after you have opened the folder you will see the both the folder and the patch on your desktop the patch is now ready to load onto your receiver.
[6] leave your receiver on standby and connect the null modem cable from your 9 pin com port on your pc to the rs232 port on the rear of the receiver.
[7] next open and run the v187 loader panel, and if you intend to keep your receiver patched, make a shortcut to your desktop for the v187 loader this makes it easier and quicker when you need to patch or add softcamkeys.when needed to update the channel key changes.
[8] once the loader has opened click the browse button and window open for you find the patch where you opened it, when you find the patch left click on it and then click save on the window, this will now close and load the patch on the v187 or for the tm 3000 it's own loader panel.
[9] next set the loader at the top of the panel to software and download.next click auto detect and a small panel opens with version detected, click exit on it and then click connect on the panel and the small panel re-opens, then you click start on this panel and wait untill the patch has loaded fully and you will see erasing-writing etc: wait untill everything has compleated and it says finished. click finished and exit the loader panel. your receiver is now patched. now turn your receiver on and check that the channels are open.
[10] if other providers channels dont open you will need to enter the softcamkeys file to open the channels, you do this the same way as patching. after you set the loader panel to keys before useing the softcamkeys file. and then follow the same procedure as patching.
[11] finally you have now patched and got the channels open, congratulations
**************************************** *************************
for the tm USB series receivers you can patch and enter softcams
as above. you can also load via the USB with a memory stick.
for this method you dont use the loader panel v 187.
you download the software,patch/softcams etc: then open the zipped
folder and take the file out [you must make sure the file is out of the folder] before you transfer the file to the memory stick, for loading on the receiver. then load the files patch and/or softcams onto the receiver.
put the receiver on a free to air chn then put memory stick in tm5400, USB port. press the green button on tm 5000 remote,it goes to data transfer, you will see the patch,highlighted go to the patch and press>ok, it will now down load, you will see green loading bar when complete the receiver will re-boot turn off and on again,then press exit. and remove the memory stick,change channels and the channels should open.
[you go to data transfer in different ways on the various tm models]
on the tm 6000 models you press the usb button on the remote

it is exactly the same way for loading softcamkey files via a memory stick
when they need to be loaded.
