Hi kamel864,

They are in the downloads section - but you need a minimum of 5 'good' posts to be able to access it. Make sure that you get the latest firmware for the right model.

Hello,

Just wanting to clarify this thread/answer, please?

I've 'patched' my relatively new TM6900 quite sucessfully so far - using darkman files.
However, I'm beginning to think my receiver may need a firmware update from Technomate to hopefully solve a couple of gliches.

Are we talking about the same 'downloads' or do I need to do a 'factory' update?

As far as I know the Darkman code includes the latest updates from Technomate, but on the other hand it might make glitches occur as well, this is software we are talking about and it can be like that if it's not tested 100%.

I suggest you do download the latest firmware from Technomate. Try that. Then re-install the Darkman software and see what happens. You will then have the answer and you can tell us

Although I don't have this model I have read that there are some gliches when using unofficial firmware (ie Darkman Patch). Upgrading the original firmware from the official site - if there is a later version - and reloading the latest DM patch may work. If not I'm afraid it's just a case of waiting for the bugs to be eliminated.

Thanks gents,
Onto the Technomate site later this evening then...

Nealster · 07-03-08, 04:43 PM

...continuing on...

Loaded the latest TM firmware update.
Tried a couple of things, mainly recording HD to a memory stick.
Still didn't work properly, and obviously lost some channels along the way, so loaded the latest darkman patch again.

Still can't successfully record HD to memory stick. Back to a different thread...

Thanks All
