Do you have a technomate releated question you cant find an answer to?

Post it below, and ill send it direct if the answer cant be found on the forums.

Here are some that ive just sent from reading some of the posts

1: the new LAN menu on the 6900 can only accept 16 digits, and wont accept anything ending in .tv

2: will it be possible to store more than one 'connection' at a time

3:in a similar way to loading softcam key files, would it be possible to make a loader to directly upload, via usb if possible, a newcamd.list file containing share details as entered in the LAN menu

4: is SSSP active on the 1000, 5000usb and standard 68/900 models with the current patches?

5: the 5000usb super without a patch says an ND$ card is invalid, but with the latest patches says CARD+, is ND$ card support very far away

6: will the 68/900 models with LAN capabilities be able to act as a server as well as a client? will it still be with newcamd
 
Please post up the 6900 manual on the Technomate site
 
the 6900 manual was there, but now the 500 one is there instead, ive just rung them so should have a link shortly m8

7) When entering an IP address instead of the domain name, can we please also have a dot (.
) next to the numbers. It's a pain to keep going from one side to the other side of the keyboard when entering the IP.

There's an easy way of doing that. Place the cursor over the full stop character and leave it there. Then simply type the IP address in using the numeric keys on the remote. To insert a full stop just press OK each time you need one. I agree it would be nicer to have one next to the numbers on screen though.
 
Why can not we enter domain address in 6900 but only IP address?

We can but the 6900 truncates domain names longer than 16 characters. Also the 6900 does not like domains that end in .tv
 
FTP&streaming over LAN and ability to accept .tv domains!
 
ive just rescanned my techno3000 and find that new channels HD titles..

question will software open these or is it a case of new hardware...tks
 
Can FAV button be improved?

I've not had my 6900HD Super very long, but so far it seems to me that when you press a group within FAV (eg news) the STB will select the channel in use when that group was last accessed. This could involve the motor moving to a different SAT to the current one, which takes time especially if the channel you want is on the current SAT. It would be better if selecting a group just brought up a list of the stored favourite channels thus allowing you to select the channel you want.

Also there is no way to add to/remove from the favourites list without going into several layers of "menu". It would be good if channels could be added/removed form within the FAV button.

Thanks for volenteering to liase with Technomate.

Regards Chui
 
the latest patch 'should' sort out the address issues as well as the 16 digit limit on names, its added a further 3 connections to give a total of 4, all of which were requests from DW members, no matter what site the patch originates from ;)

heres what ive fired off tonight, as well as a few others which cant be put on a public forum

Why isn't there a complete manual section on website


3

is the 68/900 going to be able to host a card to share, will this also be done with newcamd protocol and with the same GUI as used to setup the client connection via the 8281 menu? maybe using 8282 to access a server menu?


if its possible to use as a server
4

does the TM card reader have an actual port number once the receivers firmware has booted up?

5

would the RS232 port be mapped to allow connecting of an additional pheonix card reader

Sort out LCN on Freeview, maybe as an entry in Fast Scan!
 
bumped this back up the pages, especially with the new linux boxes now so close to public release

please only post genuine questions, wish lists etc here, this thread will be cleaned of general discussions
 
i have good question for technomate would it possible to flash software on all the sat model like tm3000 5000 model with are own picture on start up.
just to add fun to the scene?
 
i used to do this to the 1000 series, i still have the stuff to do it

i have a loader that says you can change the bootup image on a 3000, but it doesnt work

i used to change the bootup image, background images, menu images, the lot lol
 
As a 6900 non super user, I have a few suggestions:

1. It would be good to add some details of the spare capacity for tp's, channels etc... on the system info menu. Often I try and add a new tp only for the box to reboot because theirs no more room left and I have to delete some old ones.

2. Sort out the bug which sees duplicate channels found on scan

3. I never listen to radio channels, we be nice to be able to exclude them from scan to speed up the process.

4. Small usability gripe: the function of the channel up/down buttons is reversed when the channel list is onscreen...

5. A decent channel list editor would be a huge bonus, the CTech one is rubbish and doesn't work properly.

6. When they release patches (we all know it's their work and not the Albanian) find some way of publishing the procedures for new functionality so that we don't have to find out through trial and error...

And for the long term, the GUI looks hideously outdated compared to newer receivers, particularly when it it an HD box. I know that changing the GUI is a big piece of work, so publishing a SDK to allow the great unwashed to have a go themselves would be fantastic!!
 
2. Sort out the bug which sees duplicate channels found on scan

it only finds them again if they have moved frequency, the old one will then be of no use and can be deleted

3. I never listen to radio channels, we be nice to be able to exclude them from scan to speed up the process.

just before you start the search, in the small pop up box where you can choose between fta, all, network scan and stuff, highlight TV, it then wont scan for radio channels

4. Small usability gripe: the function of the channel up/down buttons is reversed when the channel list is onscreen...

when the list is onscreen, the top button is up and bottom button is down, when no list onscreen, top button is channel up, and bottom one is channel down
