Help needed TM 6900 HD Conbi Super

hello everyone.

im really really going round in circles trying to get my new TM 6900 HD Conbi Super up ive just bought.

well its second hand not new and must have an image or soemthing on because i can get BBC,ITV etc etc on it but thats about it.

ive got an eagle reciever but i thought it was time to go HD and got this cheap but i regret it now because its worlds apart from an eagle box and im going backwards reading all the info onthese TM's.

is there a dummies and i mean dummies guide for me to get this going please because all the different things ive read are confusing me even more and i really could do with some advice and pointers on how to get me fixed up.

ive sussed out and got my motor moving and stuff but i really cant understand how to get the keys/softcam and other files across to the box.

with the eagle i just FTP'd everything across really easy but with this i really dont know where to start.

any help would be welcomed and very much appreciated.

cheers

Very Informative and friendly first post .

Getting the motor working on the Arch is a Major achievement in itself so take a bow....

Unfortunately I don't own a 6900 HD version , but I hear the quality of the product is very good and performance also a A+ in the features department.

I also don't know anything about Eagle box's !

But I am sure that buy being patient and informative toward other users , you will soon have it running smoothly.

Regards:respect-051:

thanks mate.

i did actually post my first post in the introduction section but dont know why it didnt show as a post ?


anyway thanks for the kind words :-)

I believe the 6000 is usb and the loading procedure for a tmsoftcam should be exactly the same as for a 5000 usb model , so take a look in the sticky sections and tools sections of both the 6000 and 5000 series models here

you will also find the tmsoftcam posted in the public section or in one of the tm sections , as its the same tmsoftcam for all the non-linux tm models

and if it has ethernet on it then you should take note of the posts telling you how to use it with say a C line or whatever they use using 8281

I am sure if you have a good read of both forums there will be plenty of info on it

thanks lads...excellent info and im feeling a bit calmer now that ive posted because i was worried people would think i was being lazy but i honeslty didnt uderstand stuff i was looking for but ive got a great starting point now.

i will also mooch on other none satellite related stuff on here because i might be able to put a bit back into this place with stuff i can help with.

thanks

Welcome & enjoy Satpimps. This would be the forum where you find most interesting (stickies) Always make sure you're relating to the correct model Super or non-super when flashing patches (firmware) do test before your current null modem cable with your computer so you have a working solution, just in case something goes wrong.

ok after reading and reading ive managed to get a patch on and a softcam.

ive read more and ive installed DCC and TCC but it wont connect to DCC at all and ive put the username as root and left the password blank.

the ip addy of the box is recognised as what it is but i keep getting this error...

ERROR 10057 in function send socket is not connected

so im now stuck unless anyone has had this problem and can help ?

many thanks

BM

I wouldnt have thought that dreambox tools or tm9100 tools would work to this box , especially as its not a linux box like a dm800HD or a tm9100

dunno why you are even trying that approach

the fact is that normally you connect using a null modem and serial com port connections , like dreamup on a dmm , but using the darkman tm1500 loader , or usb as you have now done

its also worth pointing out that the patches for this box have now ceased , along with its brothers and sisters too , but tmsoftcams will continue for the time being

thanks mate.

i read a post on here about trying to put a C LINE on and to do so you have to use DCC ??

im familiar with DCC because of my eagle box but i get that error "ERROR 10057 in function send socket is not connected "

i dont really want to patch it seeing ive got channels like like BBC,ITV etc clearing but i just wanted to put a c line on

I dont have a tm6000 series box , but I would assume its done either using the usb stick or by the remote control

aaah i see what you mean about it wont connect to this because its not linux mate.

so how do i go about getting the cline on ?

see my previous reply

:sifone: Ace's !:bravo-009:

but you lost me with "ive read more and ive installed DCC and TCC but it wont connect to DCC at all and ive put the username as root and left the password blank."

Ya Have Lost me there already ! TCC and DCC. ? (Routers?)



Great to hear your still cracking at it! :bravo-009:

I recomended a TM to an old n old pal not long back...
And Yip they got the GLX,GTI, TWINCAM Supercharged Model with the auxillary bits thrown in... Handy Price delivered brand new to the door. with all the frilly bits !

Patched it and Got the Softcam up and running for them,successfully via usb but I couldn't get my head around the remote control in comparison to 5400 Super unit.... Then again Your probably two steps Ahead of me !

cheers mate.

im not being lazy its just im used to linux boxes now and im really sorry i bought this bugger now.

its totally different from what im used to and thats why im struggling a bit and thats why i was pretty scared of asking for help in the first place because i never just go onto forums just to get info and go.

in fact i love contributing on forums and get to know peeps and i remember your name froma previous place many moons ago where i used to help out :-)

thanks once again

yeh my biggest error was when i searched for the TM 6900 and for the problem i have and the search result was for the TM9100(i think) but i didnt see it was the wrong model and thats where i got all at a flap mate.

i will get there i really will...or i will sell the bugger lol:respect-055:

he has done the softcam already , its the c line input he needs now , and a quick hunt around this forum shows me its done using usb stick or remote control

I do understand you are confused BM , so for that I sympathise , but you are confusing yourself by treating it like your eagle

I have a tm1500 , and a tm9100 , and a dm800 , so know there are big differences

forget the ethernet port apart from connecting to dyndns etc

usb is used on this machine , with serial loading as a backstop if you brick it

just look for the info like I pointed you at and you should get there , as your eagle is more complicated than this dumb box ( non linux )

the tm9100 is SD only , not HD , so wont give you any more than the eagle did

yeh my biggest boo boo was when i searched for the cline and for my model number and it came back as a TM9100 without me seeing it was the wrong model and i just tried to follow the instructions.

well ive just loaded the cline on my usb and i will go from there mate and i really appreciate your patience i really do.

anyone want to buy a TM6900 ? lol

ive just tried to learn japanese but failed - i cant get my head round the 8281 menu

ive created the c line on a text file and and put it on the usb stick and tried to load in to the file transfer and it said Invalid text file.

i pressed the red button and it created a file on the usb stick called 6900HDSUPER_722p.STB

ive tried following where it says about the 8281 menu but cant get my head round it despite the links above.

i seem to have a mental block here now and i get the feeling im so near but yet so far ??

i pressed the red button and it created a file on the usb stick called 6900HDSUPER_722p.STB

This is your Backup File.

So if All Fails with what ever you do between here and now ?
You can revert back to this as a first step....

For 5400 Super its "8280" Brings up BISS Menu

me back's playing up again after the old bike ?

Should i go to a massage parlour or a faith healer ? :-)

those posts say this can happen if you use a word editor instead of notepad

I use notepad plus for jobs like this though

sounds like you did the file transfer the wrong way or on the wrong section , especially as you backed up your firmware to an stb file ( set top box )

did you look at that post I gave you where giga explained it with pictures ?

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114462

i have a tm6900 super combo but i not sure on how much we are alowed to say so i did not say to much
i dont want a ban for trying to help some one there is more i was hopeing a admin would tell him:respect-055:

yes mate and im pretty sure now im not going to be able to do this and im seriously thinking of binning it and getting a linux box that im more comfortable with.

i think this box is out of my league and im just going round in vicious circles lol

i will take another look at it and really its only simple(no me lol ) if you have done one of these before and vice versa if someone hasnt done a linux box before.

my head hurts..paracetamol anyone ?

you can give him as much technical help as you wish to , the only rule being you do not use actual server details etc , just examples like giga did

so no urls , no servers , no actual port numbers , no actual usernames or passwords

other than that explain whatever you like

well if you can make it much more simpler for a simple lad like me it would be more than appreciated mate if you have knowledge on this ?

post 11 in this thread https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114462 has all the details and a file you can download with a sample in it

surely you just edit it in notepad plus , save it to usb stick , and load it as explained by giga in that post 11

seems easy enough to me

i just want to say though i really appreciate your help lads and i know you must be banging your head againt the wall with my thickness but i really cant help it so im saying sorry for me not grasping something that is so easy to do for experienced lads like yourselves.

that patch (6900HDSUPER_722p.STB) was already on your USB stick, you put it there to patch the TM.
when pressing the red button: Upload Channel, it saves your channellist on the USB stick and you see a file with this name construction:
20100409-075042.CNDF
2010 = Year

ok im a tiny step forwards wth huge thanks

ive got in the menu and ive got the file CSINFO and opened it up on my computer.

name: ive put a name here that i know
user: ive not been given a login for the server
password:no password needed for the CS
protocol:ive put the C line here
deskey: where will i find this ?
port: where will i find this also ?

and on top of that it asks for ip addy so ive put the ip addy of the box where it asks.

i hope im moving a bit forwards anyway ???

cheers lads

you should have a name and password for the server in the c line you have been given by the server admin

in that c line will be the name , password , port number , des key etc

the protocol is CCCAM in capitals like the example in the text file , so only CCCAM will go in there

basically you dissect the c line you have been given and copy and paste the relevant parts into that example

the deskey is probably the same as the example

the port number etc will be given in the c line

so you would add the name that you recognise for the server

the username

the user password

the port number

here is what I would say in this matter as an example

lets say the c line looked like this

C: satpimps.gotdns.com 12345 pimp1 pimp1password yes

then this is how you would dissect and paste it in

name: Satpimps1
ip:satpimps.gotdns.com
user:pimp1
password:pimp1password
protocol:CCCAM
deskey: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
port: 12345


I hope that clarifies it a bit more

ok ive done that and i wouldnt have guessed that in a million years mate lol

after i edited the details which i will show as an example only and not what the details are so the example below is a dummy one(if its not allowed then sorry and delete it)


name:Peters.dyndns.org
ip: 192.168.0.10
user: joebloggs
password: abcdefg
protocol: CCCAM
deskey: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
port: 9821


does this look right or not ?


cheers
