Hi guys thanks so much for your quick response, I'll run through all your comments and update u in a few hours. cheers

I am also using a payserver and have no glitches or issues at all. I have a TM5402 just like yours, have patch 115 on it and I am wired direct to my router.
Ccam lines work just perfect. Don't know about other types of cam as I did not need to try other options.
My only issue is that I cannot get the stb daemon to communicate with box so I can transfer recorded programs to PC hard disk.

using payserver too on 2 boxes one wired direct and on other I'm using T.P link after advice on here T.M.5402 and spiderbox. The server I'm using is great and has its own web log in page were service status can be checked and you can kick you're own line to clear slow connections and kills stale connections , you can also send messages via support chat page and there's e-mail support and access logs can be checked. Up time is about 99% with the only time I experience freezing is in the morning and this usually clears after an hour or two or if i kick the line. I was also asked to wait when i first asked to sign up and all his responses to issues have all been prompt. I use a 360Gb external HD if i record using the box but as I use usenet i generally download from net as its easier

i have no problems on patch116p for CCcam or NewcamD no freezes @ Download center

make sure you do factory reset

1)back up channel list
2)factory reset
3)load patch116p
4)factory reset
5) put back channellist

it can be as willu server using Hop2 Hop3 dont like it TM,or it can be ping on server.

I have just put back on the Phantom 116p, will let u know how I get on with that. thanks

Hi Guys,

I have now connected my TM direct with the router, there seem to be considerable decrease in the freezing but there is 1-3 seconds freeze at times though. I have now Fox news, national geography after doing a blind scan. The youtube problem too is gone when I connected 100gb hard drive to the TM.

My only immediate problem now is how to get a better payserver with good connections without freeze, any suggestions or advice? thaks

for ECM PID

1) press the Mute
2) then press the Exit
3) then press the Blue button
4) you will then see the AUTO or 0500 NDS (960)
5) and select 0500 NDS (960)
6) press OK on 0500 NDS (960)
7) press Exit

you have to do this for every channel mate

you will have to set the ecm pid that works best with your server
you can only find this out by trial and error some providers have only one ecm pid so you just scroll to that one and save and exit
but others could have 12 and you will have save and exit and change channel and go back to the channel and see if it works better or not and try all the ecm pids for that channel untill it works right for you ,just have a play around with the ecm pids and you will learn how to use it
