Hi people
Although I've posted this before,I'm still no further solving the problem.
Basically I downloaded a phantompatch,decompressed put on usb stick and tried to install it on my box,
Got the error message invalid STB FILE.
So I downloaded a different phantompatch,many in fact all specifically for the M3'got the same error message with every one.
Went to the technomate Web site and downloaded technomate software v 1.09.......currently running v1.08..and guess what..invalid STB FILE.
Only had the box a week,and I am a newbie to the world of satellite,though not a thicko to technology.

Can anyone help before I launch it though the window many thanks in anticipation
