    Getting Started with the Technomate 7102HD T2

    This post is a consolidation of my previous answers to people asking "how do I" .... feel free to update if I have misguided people along the way !

    Here is how I set up my 7102HDT2

    Make sure you do the following
    On the HD or a USB stick have the following
    Backup of sat list .cndf
    Backup of any softcam key
    Backup of stb
    Latest Technomate firmware (128)
    Latest phantompatch (131)
    Addon_002

    These can all be found in the firmware section of the Technomate 7000 series here.

    Now make sure you have the USB stick inserted and recognised

    Now

    Factory reset system reboots
    Select language etc
    Select USB stick , load official firmware (128) < ---- these 2 steps NOT required - see clarification below
    System automatically reboots <------
    Select USB stick
    Load phantompatch (131p)
    System automatically reboots
    Select USB stick <---- Next 3 items only needed first time of loading
    Load addon_002 <----
    System automatically reboots <----
    Select USB stick
    Load .cndf file (general and default)
    Load softcam key if needed
    Check time settings and internet and other settings

    Now you should have access to the 8280 and 8281 menus

    Now how to open the encrypted channels (your mileage may vary here)

    There are 3 different ways to carry out this task

    BISS keys + Constant Key Word (CW) (Entered via the 8280 Menu).
    BISS Keys - just enter the first half of the key (you will notice it repeats) and enter zeros the fill the line
    CW keys - Enter the whole key
    These keys can have a one to many relationship
    i.e. on 27.5W all the BBC Channels open with the same key - so you can enter it once then
    select each channel - press 8280 and then select the BISS key.

    Softcam.key - Grab a copy of the Technomater 1.5 from the files section (I uploaded it last year)
    This will allow you to create an up todate softcam.key file - to load it onto your box copy it
    to a USB key via file file manager (Menu USB File Manager)
    Once loaded you use the (Menu USB Data Transfer) option - select the softcam.key file and press OK
    This will load it into your box.

    Alternate way to get data files onto your box is as follows
    Download the file STBDaemon304.zip in the files section.
    Unzip and run the STBDaemon_304.exe this will prompt you for a location
    Enter a directory that exists i.e. c:\Satellite
    Now on your box go to (Menu USB File Manager)
    With the cursor in the right hand pane of the File Manager
    The Yellow button lets you create an IP file share - put in the IP of the PC runnimg
    the STBDaemon_304.exe (remember you need to put in leading zeros if the IP number is less than 3)
    i.e. 010.001.124
    Now you will have a new HD - select this and you will find you are looking at the directory
    on your PC - you can simply copy/move/delete from here to your box and back.

    Finally there is "CS"
    I am not at liberty to describe how to get the info for this but suffice to say the following
    will put you on the right track ...
    Insert a USB stick
    Enter 8281 then the pin (usually 0000 unless you have changed it)
    Now Press the Blue button - this will create a skeleton CSinfo.txt file onto the USB stick.
    You can then edit this file and upload the results onto the box via USB or the IP HD as described above.
    You use the (Menu USB File Manager) (Menu USB Data Transfer) method to load the data as before.

    Any errors or omissions are mine alone

    No need to load official fw.
    Factory reset after loading patch.

    Ok thanks for the clarification .... so I guess the patch can be seen as official firmware + " ?

    I was told that applied to some recent patches, but not ALL mate! It certainly does no harm to first load the latest possible official firmware before the patch etc - but thats all in MY humble opinion!
    Maybe I'm wrong?

    That's what I always do, load the official firmware first. I do that so I can troubleshoot when things aren't right from first principles. Again I *may* be wasting 30 seconds of my time but I like to be sure. In total it only takes 10 minutes from initial factory reset to loading all the patches, add-ons and reloading any data files.
    Anyway the purpose of my initial post was to lay out my answers to the "how do I" questions for the TM7102 HD boxes.
    Hopefully the new starters can read and start to enjoy their satellite browsing .
