Got a similar problem. Last week I bought a T4 off Facebook/Marketplace, but when I received it, it was faulty. When I go into the Menu/Tuners/Tuner Tunerconfiguration it only shows Tuners A&B and C&D are missing. I know of this problem as I have already had it on my existing T4 and had it f...

Just seen a T3 for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

Check regularly on Facebook and Gumtree but also no sucess

I have a never used Harmony 650,does anybody know if this can be programmed to control the V2.

Currently using one with my V2 atm and it works great

gawaterman

Well that seems to have fixed it,been working fine for a few weeks now. Thanks for your advise.

Just noticed there is a T3 for sale on Facebook in Central Coast

Sold now

Good timing, the reset to factory defaults was working fine till last night, but then it failed again, so have just done the firmware re-install and see how that goes.

gawaterman

Tried the "reset to factory defaults" yesterday and it still seems to be working fine today so thanks for that tip IanL-S

gawaterman

Looks like my V2 is failing. After it has been in standby for a while it wont respond to the remote or the button on the front. I have to disconnect the power lead. After a re-power it all works fine until its somehow locks up. Any ideas how to fix it? Will have to try putting into Shutdown to see i...

gawaterman

Nope, that didn't work. If formatted on a T4 and moving to the V2 and visa-versa it always comes up as unknown.
If I plug in a usb hdd do I have to do a total power down before checking its state?

gawaterman

Will have to give that a go as I haven't been unmounting. Thanks.

gawaterman

Both firmware appear to be the same, (Release:19.3, Build:20211010, Revision:20211010, Enigma2:20211007-0-g815eca2, GStreamer:1.17.0 (GIT) Python:2.7.17) Just did a little experiment, formatted a 4tb drive in the T4 and a File System Check showed it as 4Tb, then put it in the V2 and it can up as unk...

gawaterman

They are both formatted in EXT4 in the Beyonwiz's and both have the latest firmware (I'm pretty sure but will check again)

gawaterman

Replaced the hdd in my T4 and want to copy some of its contents onto another hdd to use on the V2 but when I copy from the T4’s internal hdd to a usb hdd it all works fine, but if I then plug that hdd into the V2 it doesn’t show up. If I go Menu/Setup?Storage/File System Check, it sees the hdd type ...

gawaterman

Sorry,didn't notice this was for a U4. I have a T4 (and a V2) so was wondering if there was a performance difference between an internal and usb hdd in a T4?

gawaterman

Is there any performance limitations if you use the usb interface for you main drive?

gawaterman

Is it possible to transfer files between the V2's 2 usb slots. I have 2 hdd's plugged it the back and the Setup/File System Check can see both hdd's but when I go to Media it only sees one.

Never mind, worked it out. For some reason they appeared as T4 front and back slots, not V2.

gawaterman

To disable timeshift, you need to set MENU>Setup>Timeshift>Automatically start timeshift after to Disabled, and then do a GUI restart (or reboot). Timeshift will then be disabled. I did actually do that but it made no difference. May have been that formatting in EXT2 or something else because I did...

gawaterman

Fixed it, I hope.

Removed it and placed it in a usb enclosure and formatted it thru that. Now will restart the file transfer and see how it goes.

gawaterman

When I try to format the hdd I get the following messages "Do you really want to initialize this device? All the data on the device will be lost.You seem to be in timeshift.In order to proceed timeshift needs to syop.Do you want to continue? I hit YES. Then I get "ERROR, Initializing stora...

gawaterman

OH no, I've just spent the last 6 days copying the contents of my 8tb drive onto the 12tb and now I have to start again

How do I zero out the 1st 2MB, never heard that phrase before? Does that mean I can keep whats on there and I am just formatting a 2mb segment?

gawaterman

I can see my internal hard drive in my T4 on my pc, but is there anyway I can see the usb connected hdd from my pc?

gawaterman

I can see my internal hard drive in my T4 on my pc, but is there anyway I can see the usb connected hdd from my pc?

Probably should have been on Networking section so put it there too.

gawaterman

All fixed,formatted it using AOMEI to ext2 and all's good now.

gawaterman

Just bought a 12 TB hdd for my T4 and when I format it through the usb slot it comes up as 1004 GB. Am I doing something wrong as I have seen on other posts here that there is no limit to the size you can use? This is a nas drive, does that make any difference? Just noticed that if I connect it up t...

gawaterman

Me too

gawaterman

Yes, it would be nice if Jai just posted on this forum and let us all know what is going on.

gawaterman

Yeh, I was guessing it was someone from these forums, possibly the buyer too.

gawaterman

Looks like your old Beyonwiz could be worth a bit. Yesterday saw a U4 for sale on Ebay so thought I would put in a bid. They were asking $150 so put one in for $155,then got outbid so raised it to $201. Waited till 6pm tonight when it suddenly went up to $321 so dropped out as my limit was $250. The...

gawaterman

The path is correct (media/hdd/movie), so I'll just wait and see if it happens again.

gawaterman

When I think about it, the recordings are not moving, they are always there where they should be, its just that they don't show up on screen when you hit the media button.

gawaterman

My default location is media/hdd/movie and that is where all these recordings were all situated, but then overnight everything between 24 July and 24 Aug just disappeared. Everything before 24 July was still there. I do have about 6 folders (Crime,Entertainment,Lifestyle etc) that I move recordings ...

gawaterman

Just found out that the last month (to the day) of my recordings have disappeared when I push the media button on the remote. But after a bit of exploring, when I went to Menu/Sources-Files/T4-Internal HDD/Movies then that last month of recordings were still there and I could replay them from there....

gawaterman

Finished copying everything to my 8Tb hdd and did it by usb which is obviously much quicker. Thanks for that info re using the Blue button to track progress, although that was a bit weird, I'd hit the ok button to start and immediately it was saying "Transfering 100/100", but at least that...

gawaterman

Yep, thanks for that, but is there a way to monitor progress the USB way, or just keep looking at the blue light flicking.

gawaterman

Not sure what FTP is, I just go on File Explorer and can see the T4 on the network so copy or cut from the Movie folder. Also don't know how to check if the T4 is connecting at 1000Mb/s on Ethernet? How do I check that speed? Suspect it will be pretty slow as I have 3 pvrs, a TV and a wi-fi repeater...

gawaterman

As my existing 4tb hdd in my T4 seems to be always nearly full I just bought a new 8 tb hdd and will install it and transfer everything from the 4tb to the 8tb. I could do this 2 ways, via the usb port, or thru my network. Currently if I move files thru my network I get a transfer speed of approx 8 ...

gawaterman

Thanks Paul_oz53 Received it yesterday and I think its a power supply problem as you said. The hdd was dead so replaced that and then it seemed to work fine so thought that somehow the hdd was the problem, but I let it run for a few hours and then the problems returned. When I turned it back on this...

gawaterman

Where are you located?
Doesn't matter, I'll pay the freight,PM me

gawaterman

Probably a bit of an overkill but I love my T4 and would be devastated if it were to die again as there doesn't appear to be anything available these days to replace it.
Might sand it back a bit and re-paint it in a semi gloss black though.

gawaterman

Liked KEL's idea with the AC Infinity AIRCOM S7, Quiet Cooling Fan System 12" but decided to make my own. Put a 140mm Silent Wings3 plus a Lian Li 120mm old pc fan I had lying around, into a box I made up with some perspex sheet and a couple of 25mm aluminum tubes, powered them of a 240V power ...

gawaterman

Probably green, I'm colour blind. Yes, wife just confirmed it is green, and it looks like its only happening on my V2, which doesn't have the latest firmware, but not the T4 which does, so query answered, thank you.

gawaterman

On the info screen I sometimes get a fat upward pointing yellow flashing arrow next to the HbbTV icon.
Looked thru my T2 and T4 manuals but cant find any mention of what it means. Anyone know?

gawaterman

Yeh OK, I never go to deep standby, mainly cos my old T3 took so long to boot up but might have to try that on the T4.

gawaterman

Quote: Personally, I use a 120mm 5v USB fan on top of the T4 case above the tuners. Cheap, quiet and effective. Do you use the T4's USB ports or an external source, and if you use the T4's does that turn the fan off when you power down? Never mind, found a usb fan, tried it and realized the usb port...

gawaterman

Well that's a coincidence. Just ordered a 140mm Be Quiet! Silent Wings 3 fan to do just that.
Just got to work out if I am going to leave it running 24/7 or work out a way to turn it off when the T4 isn't running.
Any ideas?

gawaterman

I was thinking the same thing, but putting a smaller (5cm) one on the side of the case (internally) or directly above the regulators.
Only thing I was worried about was if I ran it of the same feed as the existing fan, weather that would be a bit of a drain on the mb power supply.
