Hi,

Can anyone please advise me how to get a BISS key into a TM-8000 HD.

I have got the phantompatch on the receiver, gone into the system info area and then key edit then BISS, selected add key but I cannot get it to enter correctly.

All I have is a 16 character set of alpha and numerical values (E5 4E F2 etc) but dont know any provider info etc, do I need that?

If you have the Biss menu up with the 16 digit combination then you only need to enter that key and nothing else

I have got that up OK and entered the key, is there anything else I need to do to get the channel to look for the key in the list as it is not clearing?

Nope thats pretty much it enter the key press exit which will save the key and then that also should lock it to that channel, Unless the key is wrong

I have tried entering the key into a TM-8000 HD Combo and also a TM-5200D, both flashed with a phantompatch.

The key is accepted and saved OK but the chanel is not clearing. I cannot remember if I need to change a setting so that the keys are activated or if I need to activate the phantompatch?

I am fairly sure the key is OK as it is was reported working yesterday and is generally available on the internet for a channel on 9E (Eurofootball Gonki, 11,920V, 27500), the 16 character key I am using is in the attached text file. I would be grateful if anyone could test it out to see if it is clearing in a Technomate receiver?

Key is good.
Make sure you are on the channel you want to open when entering biss keys.
Also after the 16 digits enter all zeros after.
Each biss channel that needs clearing will need to be entered individually whilst on that channel ie you cannot enter multiple biss at once.

Nope, did not work, I have to be doing something wrong here or missing some step?

Just to test it, I started from scratch:

1. Factory reset.
2. Scanned the satellite to get the channels.
3. Menu -> System Information -> BISS Menu -> input the BISS key while on the channel. Entered the 16 characters of the key, followed by 16 zeros on the TM5200D entry row.
4. Exited all menus, saving as proceeding.
5 Back to channel - zilch !!

Do I need to apply some setting somewhere else to get the receiver to look at the list of BISS keys or is this done automatically by the phantompatch?

Thats correct routine.

Press 8280 whilst on eurofootball channel and see if it shows biss key.
