Topfield scrambled with working subbie or goldie

notaclue69 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-09-2003

Okay, now this is a weird one.

I have three set top boxes.
An Austar with my Austar subby that Austar installed.
An Aurora (UEC 720) with a goldie with FOOKTEl/ORSTAR plus Aurora providers added (I used it for Aurora as

there is sweet FA fTA signal where I live)
A Topfield TF3000CIPro with a goldie ith FOOKTEl/ORSTAR plus Aurora providers

This morning the Topfield stopped working on the Austar/Foxtel channels, but still works on the Aurora

channels. It give signal isnot running or scrambled error when trying to access Austar/Foxtel. I tried a

reboot, with no result. Then a rescan, same problem. Then changing frequencies. Same problem. It finds all

the channels fine, but just wont let me access them. I have tried the goldie in the other two boxes and it

works fine on all channels. I tried the other goldie (which works in the UEC and Austar box) but still have

the same problem. I tried the genuine undoctored Austar subbie, but even it doesnt work in the Topfield. It

cant be the Iredto CAM, because its decoding the scrambled Aurora channels. It cant be the goldie. cause it

works in the other two boxes. So what gives? Any ideas?

I had the same thing on tf3200ir. Try deleting all channels and then rescaning on c1. that worked for me.

As Nokia_Rulez asks, what cam are you running ?

Its a "Minfport Conditional Access Co" DVB/MPEG2 Rev 1.0 FW 0.07B CAM, manufactured by SCM Microsystems. DVB NO 001608

It was supplied "Allcammed" by *******, (hence no warranty). Is it possible the latest software upgrade has killed it? I remember I used to see ALLCAM somewhere in the the CI (Common Interface) status, but now it says the following

Iredto CI Ver 0.07B
Softcell Ver 2.06B CI
NEC I-chip
Jul42001
SC: type 0201, state 0200
Program 032a, state 0000
Emm e00, state id id id id 00 00 00 00

If the latest software did kill it, is there anywhere I can get the old software load and use the software upgrade function?

I see blackspiderau has the same problem.

Look for a number starting with 90...... on the sticker of the cam and post please
Also in the Menu > CI cam > it should tell you what version Freecam is loaded please list also

EDIT: Its either a -901453 -901534 - 901633
These are only flashable by chip removal

Since it works for others and all though this isnt a true solution - atleast it may get you guys back in action
Till we can determine what exactly the problem is
Here is the latest firmware for the 3000CiPro TF3000CIpro (Septemper 26 2003) 2003-09-26

And here is the downloader to load it to the Topfield - all you need other than this is a PC and Null modem cable
