Technomate 5402HD M2 freezing on recording

[odysseas1991]

I have found a problem on the new M2 model with a particular patch that causes scrambled channels to freeze when initiating a recording. On the actual box it comes up with the letters "tsht". Also, it now will not allow me to download another patch and fails every download attempt.

Does anyone have any experience or comments about this?

hi odysseas1991

sorry, no experience with the TM's, but can't you do some hard reset, or even re-install original firmware (often with serial RS232 crossed nillmodemcable) - just a thought if no one comes up with a better idea.

Are you using the latest Phantompatch-TM5402HDCI_M2_ALL_107p_28-08-13 also if you cannot update from usb you will have to do a forced update from a null modem lead with a technomate loader

Yes, that is the correct patch. After a few successful attempts at recording a programme, it began to crash and now refuses to record and scrambles the channels.

What if I factory reset the box from the menus, I don't have a serial cable that is why....

Try and do a factory reset from the menu then reload from the usb with the latest patch again if this does not work the only other way is from a null modem lead good luck

So I tried to see if the issue arises on the TM5402HD non M2 and it does... I tried every patch available from old to new, and for whatever reason, whenever you "stop" a recording on a scrambled channel, that channel freezes and you have to switch the box on and off for it to work again.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening when recording?
