Look for the unit cpu chipset . It looks like another Ali unit
Yell thats it Thanks.
Interesting box big o, please post some pictures of the menus when you get it.
Here's the manual.
I have been looking into getting a Technomate receiver but I'm not quite sure what model to choose, any ideas?
I used to have a coolsat platmun recevier, one of the best boxes i ever oned, If you look on youtube you will find some models that have the firmware thats looks like the coolsat .thats why i chose the tm-3/5 recevier, but they updated the firmware in the tm-3/5 witch looks better.
I have 2 coolsat receivers that have been retired for some time now. I heard, from my buds across the pond, that Technomate receivers do not do blind scan on E2.
Costacte you can check the technomate forms, mayby get an ideal of witch one you may like.
Looking into the Technomate 5302.
Been looking at the Technomate receivers for a while and thanks for giving me the itch big o, I just purchased the 5302 model which is supposed to have an extremely sensitive tuner. Can't wait to start testing it out.Quote:

Well i got a few posted any way. I really like this reciver, I would haft to say it is one of the best receiver that i have owned. it has got a beutiful inter face. It has alot of goodies to play with. The only thing i have found wrong is that it picks up dummy chanels witch does not hurt the blind scan in any way. I like the step blind scan for the s2 channels. And it scans in s2 channels in but dont list as s2 . Over at the Technomate web site these has been noted so they might come out with a patch pretty soon .
Menus are quite similar to my 5302 but not identical.
I'm thinking of taking the plunge again since I am extremely satisfied with my 5302, how is tuner sensitivity on this receiver big o?
costactc, the tuner on the tm-f3/5hd is not as good as the xbox, It plexed on 101 west on metv.And the xbox did'nt.But i had the tm-f3/5hd slaved to the xbox. Don't know if that made a differnes or not.
That's odd as my 5302 scanned in a data tp at 63w that the x2 had no signal, I guess I'll just be a bit more patient.
It's like buying a new model car that just come out, They haft to get the bugs fixed. I do like the recevier but it needs some updates.
Hi big o any updates on this receiver is it still doing good.
Yes, Rodder it is doing very well, But it needs an up date on picking up some dummy channels on some sat, every thing is dvd , when it picks a S2 it say it is dvd Qspk or something like that, It has a real good blind scan. Picks up all not like some receivers do that you haft to add the chainel to it...
Thanks
Hi big o got one more question if you watch a 4.3 program like metv on 101 will it show it as letter box are stretched i like to watch those older shows in their original format.
Rodder, I have it on ku band, But there is a setting in the A/V settings that you can put it in full screen or pillar-box,I keep my set on full screen, the picture is great on original or hd Hope this helps.I like the pos. setting on the remote to bump the dish. you don't have to go to the menue to bump the dish.
Thanks Again big o
Well big o i placed the order thanks again for you help.
Whom did you buy it from? I bought my technomate 5302 from smart_direct and received it in 10 days.
Yes that is where i ordered it.
Rodder,I bought my Technomate from smart direct also,I beleve you will be happy with it, There is space for 600 ip channels to load up, I got about 300 from uk some play some don't I am not to good on reviews maby you can add to it thanks Big o.
