Has any one got one of these it looks like a update to my 1500super with the added usb for easier updates or have i missed something.
If so is it as easy as it looks to do a usb update?
thanks

I think the 5400CI is the replacement for the 1000CI and the 5600 is the replacement for the 1500 had a play with the 5200USB and its easy to update with USB stick but there are a few bugs with the PVR part at the moment

i'm thinking of getting the 5400ci but I would like some info about the box... the place i'm looking to get it from say it's not a grey import. So could I find the firmware and update it that way so no cam would be needed?
Also with it having the usb interface would there be any need for the data cable connection?
And finally there's an option to have the external hard drive using the usb connection, is it not possible to have an internal hard drive?
I have seen one working now and i would definately say its the same as my 1500 super with the additions of usb that can be used to update or run a H/Drive, more memory, no there is not the space or power for a internal drive, let alone the heat it will produce. And if the tuner is more sensative may help some on those weak signal, not me though as my dish's are big enough
Will be picking on up in the next few days when i get to pass a shop that i get a fair bit of kit off and the prices are good. Will do me deal at £90.00 cash.
Please help, when i try to upload the patch to my 5400, i get the message 'memory error' , what am i doing wrong?
have you installed pvr software from technomate website first this might be your problem
If this is this file from their site 'TM-5400CI+@TM-5600 CI USB PVR', i get the same message.
I'm having the same problem with USB stick. I've loaded the .stb file but keep getting 'memory error'.
Can't even get the patches to update...
Use the null modem lead to update first then it should work
worked ok for me with memory stick
Thanks - loaded the latest loader software from tehnomate site and then all OK. Thanks everyone.
Does multivision open, as still black screen.. Also, which premiere channels.
With the PVR
(1) Will it record all channels. I've read it only doeas FTA
(2) Can I watch the recorded HD file on my PC or will I have to convert it etc
<2> It is not a HD receiver, so file will be SD quality.
can anyone tell me is it ok to go with the 1500CI information when trying to learn about the 5400CI, I believe its almost the same receiver, I am looking at the information about loading software/keys etc, and just wanted to know am i wasting my time..,
I decided to read up a little on how to get it working before it arrives.
I would say more like the 1000D CI model with the addition of a usb slot plus the card reader although this can be turned off.
Have now got 5400ci working, premiere, multivision & tps all working. Box runs without cam or card. Am now going to order another one to replace my 1500ci. Cheers guys for all the help.
There is litle point in turning the patch off, the cam is multi and will work on all cards but not tested myself as dont bother with them at mo.
The current patch like other technomate units covers all that can be got at moment for free.
Yes the patch is easy to turn off, same method as 1000 series but dont know why you would, cams work with patch on, and can always edit softcam
got mine TM 5400 CI USB yesterday, had it up and running for the 5.15pm kick off. took latest file from TM site and loaded it, then took the latest DM patch and away it went.
Come on UTD. PS is it just me or is there an absolutly brilliant picture on this receiver.
