TM6000 Series New patch 744P 19/3/12

[holmroad]

See there are two new patches (well ONE actually) for TM6000HD Series in Download Centre, so about to try 744P on my TM6900HD Super guys!
Still working in dark as no comments with it YET AGAIN to state what has been improved!roud:

 

[holmroad]

Just checked new patch 744P out and YET AGAIN C Ned not opening with latest softcam so my suggestion to copy & paste whatever section of patch 737P where it IS still working to new patch 744P has again apparently been completely ignored!
I really DO despair guys!
Cant really check anything else since we havent been given any guidelines with latest patch as to what may be new, but cant see much different AGAIN!
Please Phantom, please give us some answers as requested, as it might help us in our repeated total frustration!:Boo:

As stated previously since 7.37p no improvements to note except that the blind scan is now becoming less productive with slower response of active transponders this results in a lower capture rate of actual active transponders,

In an effort to improve capture rate of the blind scan for weak transponders & for feed hunting to achieve a more productive blind scan I went back through the various software releases & found that 7.16p gives a better & faster response to lock onto all transponders + a more accurate blind scan,

The software sometime after 7.16p creates duplicates channels from one transponder = 2x the data from some transponders such as :-
24.5 west 11675 V DVB-S/MPEG-2 27500 7/8.

Combined with the knowledge that 7.37p works for C Ned & 7.16p has a better blind scan would it be possible to combine the 2 pieces of software & issue a new patch with these positive attributes that will enhance the 6000 series to it's full potential.

Just read this hopefully add this to the 6900 as well (May be in the new issue?)

Re: new patch for the 6902HD 19/03/2012

not much different form 118 just the extra step in the blind search

 

[Merliin]

Latest 7.44p is excellent for the blind scan now in steps 1-2-4-8-16-32 no duplicate data & faster transponder response time well done Phant0m just need C Ned now.

I tried 744 late last night. After installing the stb failed to reboot. The front display froze on 'Write OK'. So I rebooted by cutting power with the rocker switch on the back of the stb and it started up. So the first thing to test for me is the 7day epg on 28.2. The epg data populated fine, no spontaneous rebooting yet! The now and next programmes, some had detailed text but most were blank, but none the less it was working and the self rebooting problem had gone. However only the FTA channels now cleared, on other channels the audio worked but the screen wouldn't clear just the 'scrambled channel' message. A reboot sorted the clearing channels problem but then the EPG is back to now and next! So this patch hasn't sorted the 7 day epg issue's out. I've not tested more than 1 cline at a time yet, so won't know this till weekend, unless someone else tries first.

I did a factory reset and loaded 744 again this morning and this time it rebooted itself after the install, but the above problems still remain. I'm going to roll back the firmware coz I'm sure one of the 73x patches worked fine for the epg and handling more than one cline?

So up to now it looks like 744 has only had the blind scan issue's sorted.

@headwest:-
Thats really interesting mate, I am going to try reloading different 'orig' software 742 instead of 743 - as suggested by Zorch in his thread about it - then retry 744P plus test out blind scan as YOU say too mate!:drink:

Hi all,

I have just applied the new patch 7.44p onto my TM 6800 HD Super+

Latest 7.44p is excellent for the blind scan now in steps 1-2-4-8-16-32

The latest TM 6800 HD Super+ patch 7.44p has no 'Step' Search in the 'Blind Search' menu

In addition... when I go into the 'Motorized Setting' menu or the 'Advanced Search' menu... I have noticed that my 'Signal Strength' readings have dropped quite a bit on numerous TP's... compared to the 'Signal Strength' readings I had on the last installed patch...

Also... the 'Signal Strength'/'Signal Quality' meter now only shows readings for active TP's (as I also reported about the latest TM 5402 HD patch) ...so when I am in the 'Motorized Settings' menu or the 'Advanced Search' menu and scroll to a TP that has no signal lock... the 'Signal Quality' reading now only shows the amount of Signal as fluctuating between 5% - 9%

On the older versions of Original Software and Patches I could actually gauge how close to a signal lock I was by how high the Signal Quality reading went on any TP (red bars obviously) ...and I could then tweak my dish position and set it to the strongest (unlocked) reading... this is especially important if you are trying to find a satellite that has very weak TP signals or if you are trying to locate a TP on an alternative beam of a satellite... surely that is why Technomate states on it's website...

The satellite tuner is super sensitive to pick up weak signals and weak transponders.

Yeah that's true... but only if you can find the weak signals and the weak transponders in the first place...

In conclusion... I don't actually use this receiver any more... it's simply just a back-up HD receiver (you know...the just in case scenario) so no real hardship...

I'm more interested seeing if PhantOm can get the TM 5402 HD to perform to the peak of it's powers...

Best Wishes,
Zorch

Its interesting there is a new softcam today for the TM's - for C Ned coincidentally too - but patch 744P STILL not opening it, so thats another possibility gone tits up!
Will now go back to what I said this morning and try using original firmware 742 instead of 743 to see if that helps!
(WAS going to try using original firmware 737, seeing as 'patch' 737P DOES open C Ned on 19E, but cannot find one - or even one from just before!):drink:

Hi phantom thx for the hard work m8.
I reload 7.44P on my technomate 6900 super.
Must restart by setting the power off on the back. I have frequently freezing and blocking on my receiver.
Also i had now possibility to setup another path with the usb stick, the systeem dont see the path on my stick.
For the moment i have setup 7.26P back again.

regards

M

Now tried using orig firmware 742 before loading latest patch 744P, but still no C Ned on 19E with latest softcam 20/3/12 - so what a waste of time!
@Zorch:-
Tried blind scan on my TM6900HD Super - but still not selecting frequency with very great accuracy - e.g. S/R 27500 still coming in at 27497 - so is this acceptable or not mate?

I just feel its ALL been a waste of time, sorry, very frustrating - havent found an 'original' firmware 737, but still have my doubts about the whole thing working with C Ned EVER anyway - 737P ok, but patches 738P to 744P most certainly NOT ok!
Just come to conclusion that despite good intentions, they (software people) will always do their own thing - come on guys, we are STILL no further on, apart from patch numbers that is!:Wave:

Copy of other thread in case Phantom sees it:-

Really do hope Phantom and/or TM are still watching this and other threads - about the apparent lack of requested action actually put into latest patches?
If I had the technical know how AND the printout for what's actually 'in' patch 737P and patch 744P - to compare the area where the softcam is compared etc - I KNOW I could transfer whats RIGHT with 737P into 744P - surely it cant be rocket science to edit the corruptions?:silly:

For security reasons it's very unlikely that the necessary tools would be released to anyone.

 

[wolftje]

To be honest with all respect to whom earns credit creating those MFW patches / OFW. Newcamd/CCcam client addon works great. Forget about the EMU part it is in the past... I know some will not agree but look at the CAMS and Prog Smartcards : Dragon, Diablo, Gamma, Millenium, The Xmas smartcard SECA hack glitcher(Tv VL, NL Dig), etc. .. ... they all perished. We had great time and learned a lot from it. Phoenix, Cas2-3, smargo, hehe... FUN. If you don't have a CS server/ DM Pal I would suggest using vplug on a pc with keys and activate newcamd and connect TM on yr private network. This will do the job as well. Vplug covers all emu ! And it is the last time i'm gonna state this in a thread as i'm getting 'repetitive' concerning the EMU-part.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Gamma still works perfectly well on bulsat/canal nl.

I know Jimi mate, but I was just making a point - cant be rocket science surely to repair an apparently corrupted file occurring from patch 738P onwards - from 'correct' 737P?:Laugh:

 

[wolftje]

@manic, yup i know that is still works but still I guess it is a dying 'scene'. Gamma must be one of the best paid of smartcards been around for its price.

I would have to agree with you, I've done a bit of software writing for control applications and it can be a bugger to find a bug (especially when writing in machine code (hex) as we had to in the early days).
But in this case I would think the various routines are well documented (I could be wrong) and making alterations reasonably easy but I guess they have a lot to do but hope they do get around to sorting things out.
Now I am in no way having a go at the software team they do a great job so please no posts about "try it yourself".

No Jimi, never meant would actually 'do' it my self, was just speaking metaphorically and by making my point that it at least OUGHT to be fairly straightforward - especially for a respected boffin such as our friend Phantom?
As you said - thanks for all you are trying to do for us all Phantom mate, it IS much appreciated, but just a little frustrating at times when it seems to be going a little slowly to actually get there? :drink:

 

[holmroad]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I personally have seen NO response from our friend Phantom - to all OUR reponses to his latest patches?
It really WOULD be most appreciated please Phantom mate!
Thank you (in anticipation!):Cheers:
