Hi M8

Here is some info that I took from another forum:

Backup your existing channel list that you have on your tm1000 , tm1500 or tm1600 onto your pc using the darkman v1.87 loader BEFORE loading the new patch


if you dont , and it goes pear shaped , you will have to rescan the channels , OR use a channel list from ***** forums like rt1612 posted

also write down your usals/diseqc and rf settings and av settings as well


this can save you hours of work and only takes less than a minute to do

ideally make sure you have the latest tm factory firmware on your box too , currently on v617, then the latest patch over the top of it.

so in simple terms:-

backup your channel list

load the 617v official firmware

reboot

factory reset

reboot

load the latest DM patch ( currently the 619v patch )

load your saved channel list

load the latest kempa82 tm softcam as well

setup the usals/diseqc, rf settings and av settings as necessary


You can get the latest official Firmware here:

I hope that this is of some help to you.
