    C line and technomate 5402HD issue

    I have been reading around the forum and attempted to connect to a c line yesterday night unsuccessfully,I have sinced discovered due to server problems. However, tonight I managed to get a active connection, I preceded to selecting a channel on hotbird which is part of the nova GR package with iderto encryption. I waited patiently, but the box went on to freeze and display the number 2 on the front panel. I restarted everything again and repeated several times and it continued to freeze. Is this a fault of the box, me doing steps wrong or simply the c line quality since it is the free server 3?

    Ps I apologise for using the forum to ask questions that might be so obvious or repeated, I just hope they are new questions that will help others if answered.

    Many thanks

    Server 3 does tend to suffer from freezing problems.

    Now you have 10 posts you have access to additional server 3 c-lines. I would go back to the free server page (link below), scroll down to the hidden '10 post' block and choose one of those c-lines, as they are likely to be more stable. Remember to use just one (or you will be blocked by the firewall) so replace your current Satlover line with one of those from the '10 post' hidden block.

      Ok, I will try it now, just to clarify, it is the actual technomate box that is completely crashing when selecting a scrambled channel. Il give it a go now using what you have told me.

        I had a go with what you said by changing the c line to one in the hidden post and now it does not crash as much, only infrequently when changing channel. It must be just a bug in the patches or just what you said, the server stability. Im sure that its simply a bug in the technomate modded firmware.

        Thanks for your help!

          After further testing I seem to have found the reason why the TM5402HD box is crashing continously with the server 3 of a few days ago. It is simply the server... Since the server 3 here has been down I have been experimenting with servers from other sites and not once has it froze. Also the time to connect to the server is instant as opposed to the server 3 here. I suppose however that is due to them constantly updating the port number on a daily basis.

            Actually, the reverse is true

            The port number changing almost daily should make server3 better. It gets changed regularly because the free c-lines tend to get copy/pasted onto other forums and then the server gets overloaded.

            By changing the port number, it invalidates those c-lines, and keeps them available for regular users of this forum.

            In any case, a wrong port number in your config shouldn't cause your box to freeze

              I agree with what you say, what I meant however was that an external website server I have been testing during the last 2 days changes the port number daily hence why it is a instant connection without waiting time in terms of connecting to the c line and doesnt freeze box at all. On satlover.com though the server 3 takes a while to connect and when it does, it freezes the box frequently as well as never showing a channel smoothly for more than a minute. Other servers from other sites have very solid connections but still dont display a smooth channel for more than about 3 minute max. So I assumed it was my internet speeds since no server iv tried works properly for even a few minutes hence why I enquired about it here. Tbh, the only purpose of any free server is just for testing a c line I think with the intention of buying a premium one.

                you can test your internet speed/server buy doing a ping test type Type Type ping -t server address in command prompt and it lists the times ctrl and c to stop it

                  also have you installed the addon after patching as this does the lan functions

                    The patching was done for me by a satellite man before I got involved with all this so Im not sure. Is there any specific way to check, or should I just go ahead and do it?

                      i would do a bit of reading up on this before you attempt it just in case you have any problems

                        Ok, I have updated that too now, let me give it a day of testing to see how it reacts.

                        Nope, its definately just the server quality. The better the server, the less if any freezing.

                            a good thing also to try is update your line just after new update, keep watching, updates between 4pm/5pm hope this helps.
                            Do not send me iptv/cline requests,

                            technical or iptv/cline server questions in PM!

                            I will not answer!

                              U have to bear in mind that some packages clear quicker than others. Some are also more stable than others. Astra 2 isn't always stable and has lots of freezes.
