ok downloaded the latest firmware from Technomate to usb stick and loaded on to tm6900 HD Super combo. powered down and back up at the switch on the back. Loaded the latest patch from ALSAT powered down and back up, loaded latest soft cam powered down and back up. in all of this I never put the cam near the stb.
Plugged the cam into the cas 3+ progra,mmer and the usb cable in to the cas. on the laptop opened the cas interface. plugged in the usb from the cas programmer. selected the diablo cam, went to the cam disk functions tab and clicked the format button. I dont know why but this time the lights flashed on the cam for a few minutes and the formatting cam bar indicator scrolled right to the end and I got a format successful message.
