Also no Channel Exists called " bftv2 "
i think you made a typo ??
you were most likely trying to talk about BETFRED TV [ TTV ] ?
WHICH Sometimes Re-Broadcasts Sky Sport EPL Football coverage
which is still there but SiS Keys on 4.8E change on a daily basis therefor again you really need to read and learn how to manually input PowerVU Keys so that you can avoid dark screens on those channels .
Good luck : )

yes i wasn't sure how cryptic we are supposed to be when discussing these things i have been using the keys daily but as i explained the channel (cisco 4) is not scanning for me i get bftv1 bftv3 but have lost bftv which shows the football with pid 400 410 thats why i was asking if its possible just to search for that channel.

To open zipped folders you need to Download the "WinRAR" program, then open the Phantompatch folder, highlight the Phantompatch file and click & drag it into the usb folder.
As for the missing channel, scan the TP again, you will have 5 BF channels, "BETFRED TV [ TTV ]" is the one you want.
Also have a look at the tm-5402 online pdf manual, - (page 13) "Data Transfer" .

i have winrar now on my desktop and have downloaded the patch do i just click on the patch then insert usb (winrar just opens patch?) and look for a list,i have only ever once used a usb stick like this before and it was years ago been updating keys in the remote with mute exit or 8280.

"WinRAR" or "Winzip" simply is used to extract the desired file from its .zip or .rar file
when extracted it should be one single file and in .stb format
and yes 100% for sure you have no idea about extracting files , and sounds like your doing everything totally wrong and making it sound a lot more complex than it actually is,lol's :D

you have d/loaded patch from above provided link ??
now use "WinRAR" or "Winzip" to extract the .stb file from its .zip folder

Highlight the Phantompatch file and click & drag it into the USB folder this will show up instantly when you insert USB in your Laptop ,

Then put USB Stick in your TM5402 USB Slot Front or back it matters not

Select menu on remote> scroll down to usb/external device> Press ok > press green button > file manager>Select phantompatch> Press OK

wait for your box to Reboot & JOB Done
i fail to see how you can over-complicate such an easy basic task ??
how you ever got one TM5402 box patched i shall never know ,lol's

yes i've repeatedly said i have no idea about using the usb for files and thats why i asked for an in depth step by step guide,i have pach 147 downloaded and winrar on desktop so i must now click the winrar pile of books icon to get to the file? to extract the stb file. i bought the first tm with the software/firmware added by the seller. i have searched youtube for a guide to doing it but cannot find any apart from channel lists. please dont think i'm a numpty just because i dont have knowledge of files i've never been taught to use computers but when it comes to using them for betting of ebay i'm red hot. the other problem i keep mentioning about betfred tv2 is still there i have re-scanned that transponder again today got 25 channels 4 titled betfred but not the ones with pids 400 and 410 which is the channel i've had and watched the EPL on all season long until i had to re-scan this weekend. i do realise members are trying to help.

Channel name for those pids is
BETFRED TV (TTV)
Go this site for an unzipped patch
http://downloadtmsw.com/bbs/reply.php?board=tm5402hd&num=69
Download that file, it will end in .stb
Then
Load on to usb stick
Insert usb stick in TM5402

Then Select

Menu
USB
External device
USB up/down
File manager
Phantompatch.stb
OK
Always back the channel list up first in case of errors.
Make sure to re enter your usals settings if using Usals.

i'm going to give the advice by manic a try but if i cant do it i'm wondering if any member would sell me a usb stick with the patch on it as its just frustrating me too much and making me feel thick.

downloaded it clicked on it and got box popped up with error
the archive is either unknown format or damaged. it would definitely be easiest for me if somebody will sell me a pre loaded usb with the firmware not channel list or keys i can add them myself via remote.

Change setting format from 1080 to auto or 576.
Please and thanks are often appreciated by members giving their time freely.
