Hi Everyone!
I have just spent some time reading what's on your website and i find it very kind of all of you to be so helpful.I think I get it how to patch my technomate 1000d but just wanted to ask one reassuring question before I go buy modem cable tomorrow: I want to watch mainly NEGRAVISION - polish channels and others of course as well, I have an about 90cm dish and universal LNB engine so will I get the channels for sure??which other channels will i get ?thanks

Hi I hope someone can help to explain how to download the latest patch to a beginner. I understand that I'll need a tm loader and a Darkman patch. I have a Technomate 5200 and I'm trying to unscramble my favourite programmes. I can't find where to download these. Help please?

Everything you need to know about updating the TM1000 is here:-
Patching your Technomate 1000 series

I belive that the procedure for the 5200 is very similar, if using a cable.

Yes at the moment if you patch a TM1000D with a dish correctly pointed at 13e, you will be able to get Polsat channels. But there is no guarantee that it will be there tomorrow e.g. if keys not known or if encryption changes.

Thanks Robbo. I've tried it and it works! I really appreciate your help.

Hi
Apologies for the daft question. I am considering patching my technomate 1000 D SUper. If I do this, will i have to reinstall my satellite positions I have saved on it or will it retain this info?

Hi everyone again. I am ready to patch my tm1000d+ ,I have everything ready but the problem is that again when I connect usb serial +null modem to my laptop the message shows:unknown device. This is the second usb serial I bought which is not working properly so I think there must be something wrong I'm doing. Please help me !!!Maybe i should try just gender changer ?Help!

I have been having similar problems. I suspect that it is because the USB serial cables we have both purchased dont work properly with windows. XP is reluctant to download the driver that came with mine and I cant get it to work. I bought mine on fleabay(thought it was UK but arrived from HK). The only ones I have seen in a shop are from maplin(£30!!!). Will have to bite the bullet and spend more on a dongle from a reputable supplier

It seems that no 2 work the same - I have supplied one to a customer with a Technomate, He uses Vista. The device installed first time and connected to the Technomate with no problems at all.

Others have reported that they can't get the hardware to install in Vista at all, most seem to install in XP, if you use the supplied drivers and UART.

I'm convinced it's a winblows problem rather than a hardware problem.
