TM 1600 2CI problem? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

:confused_smile: Hi Guys, Perhaps someone can help with this one! Since installing the latest patch on my TM 1600 2CI I've been having an intermittent problem which might just be coincidental. A couple of nights back I switched to Premier 2 and the box refused to to switch away from it - a "Please waite!" message kepy popping up. After a couple of power downs it seemed to rectify itself and normal operation resumed. Tonight however is has refused to co-operate. I've tried power downs and reloading the original TM firmware - all to no avail! At the moment to box is powered down in the hope that this will remedy the problem but I would like to know the cause so that I can prevent future re-occurences. If this is not possible can somebody suggest a cure please?

Update: Problem resolved for the moment by re-installing original firmware and truncated channel list containing only FTA channels then re-installing latest patch and original channel list.

Update to the update: Have now heard from TM

Quote:

"Please put your receiver into standby mode. Then hold the top two
buttons on the front of the receiver for about 10-15secs until you get a
screen with a blue background and some options appear. Then go to NVRAM
clear by the remote and press OK and then OK again. Turn your receiver
off/on and do a Factory Reset. It should be OK from there. "

Many thanks to Ryan at TM. Will try this if I get the problem again!

Factory reset would do the same. It's the TPS trying to auto update.

Thanks for the reply Fearona. I'm a bit confused as to why TPS should try to update from a Premiere channel. The problem was that it was difficult to access the Menus after the "Please wait" message appeared. If a "Factory Reset" works on it's own why do TM suggest clearing the NVRam?
