You would need to flash with the latest UR image, then I'm pretty sure CCcam is added through addons menu. A member who joined today know know more about the TM600 than me, I'll pm him for you & get him to reply here with the info you need

Hi mate great choice of box first off all as they are very easy to setup for a first timer to linux. to get the best out of the box you will have to join a server or card share yourself but i dont think we can go into that too much here just google it as you will find out more.

With regards to the image the latest one is UR 20-1-10 although even if you load an earlier one you can upgrade to the latest images with the touch of a button. once you have installed the image will then ask you for time and language settings then for satellite configuration but that all depends on what type of dish you have once you have done that exit dont scan for any channels as there is no need to you can download them after.
Press the blue button the password is 0000 then download the latests CCcam which atm is 2.1.4. ones thats done then install the your channel settings that your prefer when you go into the blue panel again you will see 2 options near the button saying motorised or non motorised now depending on what type of dish configuration you have select the appropraite settings for your system.

softcam keys can be downloaded by pressing the red button

the latest image is attached to the thread if you get stuck let us know

ok cypchris thanks for this, now here`s where i may fall flat with these`s boxes, i have never ever had my box on the internet, so do i believe that theses box HAVE to be on the net ?? [ highlighted in red sound like it ??] heers guy`s ...

[cypchris]

yes pal to get the best out if these type of units they need to be pluged into your router to get an internet connection. the tms are very easy and once you play around with it for 5 minutes it will all become clear.

can i put a new image on with Flashftp, if so, what is the procedure, is it similar to a d box ?? is there files to go into, and can you work within them, ?? or is everything done via the internet, Cheers !!

[cypchris]

yes same as a dreambox 600 or 800 hold the power button when you power the unit up and it gives you the ip on the lcd screen and just download the nfi file to the box

simples

Didn't know that, so the TM600 can be flash via web-interface

[cypchris]

yes mate just hold power button on the front swicth on the power from the back wait 10 seconds and it gives you the ip on the lcd screen on the front of the box you can edit config from there asswell and settings

so what is an nfi file, where does it go within the box, if i can use Flashftp, what would be the username, and password, does the nfi file need to be chmod to 755 ? Thanks, !!

I have try`d manualy to ftp into this box, but im struggling, i have manualy set the ip as if i was going into a dreambox, set my network nic, but still i cannot get in, so has anybody used Flashftp before on one of these box`s, Thanks,

[wullboy]

im trying to ftp over to this box, but having problems, im useing winscp to try and connect, but im getting a fault stating it "cant resolve host name" does anybody know what it going on here ?? I had try`d Flashftp, but do joy, but at least winscp is giving me a fault, i just do not know what it is saying to me ??

Hi mate if its a tm 600 just put the nfi file on a usb stick and put it in the back and update the firmware via the menu software update somewhere have a look around. they do have some issue with a few routers not recognising them although i thought that this issue had been fixed. Personally just leave it on dhcp factory reset the box and hold the power button down while you flick the on switch at the rear left of the unit and wait for it to give you and ip at the front on the lcd screen if it says fail then check your cabole or try another router just as an interface or if its a 600 do it with a usb stick any trouble let us know


dont forget

user = rooot
and the password is left blank that can be changed later with technomate control center 7.1

Good advise there, small mistake that could throw newbies to linux boxes USER = root NOT rooot as above (small typo me thinks).

Trying to find this image for TM600. Is this another attachment that got lost when the forum changed hosts? Would appreciate if it were available from here. (Donation would then be forthcoming!)
