"The question is ... how do you uninstall the redundant add on"
If the underlying OS is Linux.............then look up how to remove packages........
How did you put it (add on ) on in the first place.............

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.
Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
I don't believe I actually installed the ADDON .
When I clicked on it got message "short of space" or something like that.
Been doing some more testing.
If a select a channel, press record, select a different channel, press record, select another channel and watch it everything works OK.
So I have recorded 2 channels whilst watching a third channel.
If a schedule two channels to record, whilst not watching the TV, then both channels record OK.
The problem arises when I am watching a channel and have a different channel set to record on the timer.
As soon as the channel starts to record the TV changes to that channel. Several attempts are need to change channels back to the one I was watching and , most of the time, the recording freezes particularly if I have two channels set to record on the timer.
Cheers
Gerry

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Yes, I have read that you get the insufficient space error message if you try to install the add-on and don't need it so hopefully it is not installed.
I have the same problem with the channel changing to the one set to record. You cannot change back until the the new recording actually starts (maybe a minute or so) but the recorded channel does work properly.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
The latest Phantom Patch 123p has been removed from the download centre. It look as though there is some kind of problem with it:

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
There are two posts on facebook that suggest that either there is a tech problem or the BISS codes have changed again - only 2 weeks since last change.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
what ever it is it has affected a lot of people (judging by my email inbox!)...so perhaps another code change... or even the rumoured an encryption change...?
this must be what an insider in arquiva said by "expect things to change around xmas"...
edit: although someone who reported the loss has nowposted "Okay all good again", no idea if that mean it was a glitch, or he already has the new codes....

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Didn't want to start any unsubstantiated rumours at the time, but an acquaintance who works in this area mentioned in conversation a few weeks ago that they were going to be changing the BISS Codes on a more regular basis until they implemented a new far more secure encryption system. I was about to go down the 907 route myself but think it wise to hold off for now. Fingers crossed thats not the case

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
It was a code change. I am now back up and running after only 75 minutes outage.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
After the problem with the last one I am a bit reluctant to give this information but there is a new Phantom patch for the Technomate in the download centre. Seems OK on mine.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Have you noticed the sound 'wobbling' ... or is just my imagination. it seem more noticeable when there is dialogue on top of a music track ... like in the Indiana jones films over Christmas.
Did you know that the BBC one and ITV are transmitting a 5.1 sound track ?

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
I haven't noticed that effect.
I don't know if its 5.1 the BBC are transmitting, but I have been getting some very odd channel effects on my AV receiver. Sometimes the middle channel is much lower volume than it should be and I have had the situation on the BBC Life program that the music and sounds were there but the commentary had gone completely.
The BBC has a recent reputation for screwing up the sound and they never make it clear that they are transmitting 5.1.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
On occasions I have thought that the sound balance has not been correct. Sometimes the dialogue seems far too quite compared with the background music/ sounds.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
I agree - the centre channel (speech) on the BBC is very variable in gain, as are the front and rear fades between programs. You get everything set up for say, Strictly (outside Broadcast) and its all a *beep* for a Movie. I cant use the correct standard Dolby Balance and Fade settings on my Sony 7.1 amp. The rear channels has to be about +3.5dB and front centre +6dB, but this is a compromise
ITV and Channel 4 don't have the same problems ... just the volume . Have you noticed how much louder channel 4 is.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Speech quiet and background racket (sorry sounds ) really loud. Gerry, I thought that was the standard now - even with the news headlines. All mixed by twenty year old sound engineers unfortunately.
Next we will be complaining that American actors mumble their words!!
All I have noticed is sometimes there is no sound and I have to reboot the box to get sound back.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
I used to have the no sound problem from time to time with the Technomate but since the software upgrade this seems to have resolved itself although I still have the occasional problem with timer recordings.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
There is another Phantompatch upgrade on the download site. There were two within two days so I assume there was a problem with the first.
I haven't installed it yet.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Just installed the latest patch, 129P.
All still working as before. Can't see that anything has changed.

Re: TM-5402 and Intelsat 907
Thanks for the feedback. I cannot find any release notes for this patch. I was still getting the occasional recording glitch and sporadic lack of sound on HD channels necessitating a change of channel then back again and, in some circumstances, a reboot. Maybe it has fixed these faults.
I haven't had time to do the upgrade yet. I like to have plenty of time and a bit of peace to do this!
