New Technomate Original Software

Thanks for that mate - however I've already tried it using 748 as I wasnt aware of what you are now saying, so so far my findings are as follows:-
Feedback to Phantom on new patches 27/12/12
Hi Phantom,

Still slowly going through all facets of your new patch 752P posted last night mate!

However, early findings after loading patch 752P on my TM6900HD Super are as follows:-

1) Backed up channel list
2) Factory Reset
3) Loaded 'basic TM6900 firmware 748 (latest version available?)
4) Loaded patch 752P
5) Loaded Add-On
6) Factory Reset
7) Loaded back Channel List from 1) above
8) Loaded latest TM softcam

I then tried out various items as follows:-
Working fine:-
Cs link on 23.5E opening fine with latest softcam
8281 function working fine on all packages
8280 keys entered on patch 751P all keys remained for first time when transferring from 751P to 752P!

Still NOT working:-
SCT HD on 13E opens then immediately freezes but sound continues! It freezes again as stated when changing channels & returning to SCT HD - so this problem is still not sorted!
This channel (SCT HD on 13E) works perfectly with patch 726P!
PLTV HD on 10E is still jerky as on ALL recent patches, yet works perfectly with patch 726P!
PVR still not functioning very wee - e.g. when set ahead of scheduled time from EPG it starts up at the set time, but does not record!
(The receiver also goes into various problems when trying to get back - e.g. try to cancel preset recording and try 'manual' recording - it just keeps going on its own path to destruction and I found I had to switch receiver off & on several times at the back of TM6900HD Super SEVERAL times before I could clear it all to start again!)

So it does seem CS Link on 23.5 E is now working thank you Phantom, but many old problems still remain, e.g. PLTV HD on 10E, SCT HD on 13E - and the PVR function is dreadful!

Thanks again for your efforts Phantom - however I have just been told that I do not need to reload orig firmware 748 so will try all over again - assuming I should, WITHOUT orig firmware 748?:nopity:

Revised feedback:-


I have now reloaded the new patch 752P, WITHOUT the original firmware 752 (thanks Zorch!) - so as above but MINUS the 'original firmware step - and STILL PLTV HD at 10E is jerky plus audio dodgy, yet with old patch 726P it works with NO jerkiness at all!

The PVR still wont set up ahead from the EPG, it appears to start on time but WITHOUT the recording happening - so this is another SERIOUS ongoing problem for Phantom to sort out please! Needless to say this also worked perfectly from patch 726P!
The 'manual' recording works fine from the LARGE red button (used to use the SMALL red button, but oh well!).

SCT HD on 13E still freezes immediately it opens, yet the audio continues without moving video - this also works perfectly with old patch 726P!

So those are MY latest findings/feedback on patch 752P for Phantom/TM!:Drums:
 
Revised feedback with PLTV HD on 10E:-
A guy on another forum suggested trying changing the video settings from 1080i to 720P - and it seems to work perfectly in 720P - but WHY oh why should we have to do this every time we go on to PLTV HD on 10E and then have to set it back to 1080i for all other HD channels 'in case'?

Lets hope Phantom/TM address this problem with next patch - PLUS sort out the PVR recording problems when recording via time setting from EPG

NB: Re PLTV HD on 10E, this jerkiness was NOT apparent with old patch 726P, so why now?:grayyawn::grayyawn:
 
I watched the united game on PLTV the other day using my 6800hd on 750p and it was freeze free. I've not tried the last 2 patches yet as I'm sick of having to change audio for every channel.

Dont think this problem applies to TM6800 HD's mate?
750P on my TN6900HD Super was DREADFULL for jerkiness/audio going out of sync, yet patch 726P is the last one which was PERFECT!:Wave:

Hi again holmroad,

Try this mate... all I have done to your cndf file is what we discussed... I will keep working on the all-new cndf file and probably post it in the morning... you need to let me know the extent of your arc...

Hi mate, so sorry after all your efforts but this cndf Channel List PLTV HD on 10E is even more jerky for ME , than my original one, plus it loses sync on the audio after a few minutes too!
Its more obvious on the longer shots of play, especially with live matches, but it also occurs on close up shots too of people discussng things! It sometimes does seem to correct itself after a while (jerkiness that is) but very inconsistently & not always!
I did put it on to 720P from 1080i just to try it out and that certainly helped mate!
So I am still pleading with Phantom to correct this ongoing fault - patch 726P was the last one which DIDNT jerk - for ME that is!
I really am so sorry after all your help Zorch mate!:drink:
 
I loaded the latest 752p firmware the other day and came across a problem I had not noticed before.

When i tried to live pause PLTV, not only did it not work but it also turned off the BISS key.
The key was still there but 8280 showed the cursor on the "off" line instead of the line containing the key.
Moving the cursor to the correct line and saving cleared the channel again.
The same problem occurred on CTV and NBA Europe on the same transponder.

This suggests to me there is a conflict in the data storage used by Biss decryption and live pause.
In the above it looks like the BISS key pointer had been corrupted when using live pause.
If my suspicion is correct it may be that this could be the cause of jerky BISS channels and PVR problems.
Both problems may have the same cause - we can only hope.
 
I have been loading various patches recently in an attempt to find when the jerky video on PLTV first occurred.

Finally I believe I have found the problem first occurred in 733p whereas 732p is not jerky.
I hope this information will help Phantom track down the cause of the problem.

Also I suspect there could be redundant background tasks running in the firmware which could now be removed to increase the speed of the remaining background tasks. I have noticed that 726p is more tolerant to a fragmented disc and defragmenting the disc helps to easy PVR problems under later patches.

I think that speeding up background tasks could cure the PVR problems and who knows it may even help the jerky video problem on PLTV.
