Technomate 5500

Anyone knows whether there is a way to patch Technomate TM5500plus.

Hi,

I think there is a way, but it is more complicated than the other TMs.

I am sure one of our members has done it though


From what I have read, the receiver has to be converted to a NEXT 7500 or something, and also requires an official firmware upgrade also possibly, depending on the remote.

A search of a l s a t should give you the answer.

Thanks Robbo71 for your response, but I did not get quite wright what you meant.


Sorry being stubid. What excatly meant the receiver has to be converted to a next 7500?

This is what you need to do..............

1. Update to latest version of the TM firmware for your model

First check the firmware version on your TM.
Go to the Main menu on your TM and you should find the
s/w version information under "STB Information"; at
least that's where it was on my TM 5000 DACI.

If you have a remote control with a blue center, then,
if the s/w version starts with HEB508A, then you don't
need to update the TM firmware.

If you have a remote control with a silver center, then,
if the s/w version starts with HEB507A, then you don't
need to update the TM firmware.

Otherwise, go to the "Downloads" section on the Technomate site,
select your TM model, then download the firmware that your TM
requires. Then go to the TM "Support" section and download the
"Instructions on how to use the dts40 link software loader".

2. Upgrade your Techomate with NEXT firmware

Once you have upgraded to the latest TM firmware, then visit
*****. There you will find the firmware required to upgrade
to a Next receiver, and loads of documentation and information
on how to perform the upgrade. Download and read all the
documentation carefully before you start doing any upgrade.

You will need a 9-pin female-female RS232 null modem cable
to perform the above TM update and Next upgrade.

If you have a remote control with a silver center, then
you will need to change it after you have patched the TM
to a Next receiver.

thanks crossbones for all you infor.

The thing I did not get "Once you have upgraded to the latest TM firmware, then visit *****." What does it mean "*****".

Onether one is "If you have a remote control with a silver center, then
you will need to change it after you have patched the TM
to a Next receiver." Why I am cahnging my receiver to nex if I will change whatis the poin to patch it"

Sorry, probaply my question is silly but if you can help me I would be most grateful.

All the best,

Merry Christmas and new year.
