Got it done on both cars in the end, strange one. The first car i did calculated the tal as normal using 3.30 after swt by ecu and then used ist, soll and tall files in 3.27 and to flash and it went through! Thought it would be easy for the second car, it wasnt. I ended up using the soll calc from the first car and combining it with the ist from the second car, calc the tal and used 3.40 to program the module. It failed at the last swf so had to manipulate the files again and reflash and then it went through. So, i think the version of esys didnt matter in my case. For some reason the calculated soll was giving an error in the expected sgib between the ist and the actual.
luckily for me both cars are f10 made within 3 months of aech other and the sw and hw of the tv module was the same.
advice is really spend a lot of time really trying to understand what the processes and buttons do and the you can manipulate the files, trim them so you are only dealing with relevant modules and keep going till it works.
changing the istep as some have advised did nothing to remedy the errors in my case (expected sgid not matching).
To be clear i have flashed a japanese tv module to receive uk TV channels and work in the uk, which is probably not normal.
