I'd really appreciate some help please.

I have a ClarkeTech HD5000C Plus
I have firmware version 179p installed
I'm trying to update the softcam but am not sure exactly how to do this.

I go to MENU
Then to STORAGE
Then to DATA TRANSFER

The file list shows the name of the softcam key (currently: Ctech Softcam USB 040909.Key)

The options I have are:
RED Button - Upload NDF
Green Button - Upload Key
Yellow Button - Select Disk

What should I do from this point forward? And what should happen?

I don't have this receiver!

But from what you wrote

I would say press the green button as a softcam contains keys.

please let me know how you get on

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Tried the green button and the OSD says:

"Don't power off the STB", "Reading", "Writing"

Then

"Succesfully Completed", "Uploading OK"

Then

It created a new file in the File List on my USB stick called: 20090906-152818

Does this sound like it's worked ok. Hasn't cleared RAI 4

sounds like you have copied you softcam from your receiver!

Delete that off you usb memory stick.

Please try this

Go to data transfer and click>ok
now you will see a panel with Ctech Softcam USB 040909.Key,
highlight it,
press ok on the highlighted Ctech Softcam USB 040909.Key
then it will load and when it gets to 100% and has loaded,
and the receiver has re-booted [turned off and on again]
and the channel opens.

you have now loaded the Ctech Softcam USB 040909.Key,

The above is the method for Technomate receivers & should work on Ctech as there clones.

Tried that, everything goes as you described but RAI 4 still doesn't clear. Could it be that the key hasn't been updated for RAI 4 on 13E

^^COMPASS^^ · 06-09-09, 04:44 PM

I have checked the softcam and the keys are correct

frequency
Rai 4
13°East
Hotbird
10992
V
27500
3/4

You could try a re scan on the above frequency

The patch is turned on ?

On TM receiver if you press Mute then exit whilst on Rai4 it takes you to the key edit box there you can check the keys are correct.

Regards...

I have came across this info on a Italian forum, it's worth a try

you have to configure the emu to CT 06a6.
Put on the channel ->
then press8282>
seca blue 06A6>
Save

Exit

hope it helps.

Key combinations are exactly as you say but unfortunately I don't know what to do when I get in there.

^^COMPASS^^ · 06-09-09, 09:43 PM

Well i checked the softcam in my TM receiver and it opens Rai4

Double check the pids are the same as the ones below

v pid 0523
a pid 0604
ppid 0523

If there correct it maybe a software bug that prevents Rai4 from opening

^^COMPASS^^ · 06-09-09, 10:03 PM

you could always try loading this patch then the softcam again and see if RAI4
clears
