Thanks for the comments about remotes.

Is there any point doing an online order on the Beyonwiz website or are they completely non-functioning?

Any advice on how to buy a PVR?

I’ve been a Wiz user since the first week the DP-S1 was released. I’m addicted to ad skipping and don’t like to consider any alternative for viewing. My T3 remote is on its last legs and my T3 is showing signs of ageing despite having a voltage regulator replaced under warranty and surviving me repl...

Camera makers will often produce a lens roadmap indicating plans for future releases to wet their customers appetites and generally keep everyone happy. I've been a long-time Wiz user but haven' visited the forums recently. I bought a DP-1 and it was soon superseded. I replaced it with a T3 which wa...

Thanks for the prompt response. I hadn't considered the necessary connectivity speed.

My source wiz would be connected via a Telstra cable service that is limited to 1 Mbps uploads - so it sounds like that would not work for streaming content.

Lex200

A somewhat related question. Can I play the content of one T or U series on another connected via the internet? I presume that I'd need to set up my router to allow one wiz to be identified with an IP address visible on the broader internet and then connect the other wiz to that IP address. Would th...

Could my problem be due to accidentally editing the Terrestrial TV bouquet? If you have accidentally edited that bouquet, then doing a full manual scan with clear (TWICE) should fix that up. I tried this but it made no difference although one of the channels in my Favourites List became "N/A&q...

Lex200

I recently tried to change some of my settings on the My Account section of the IceTV website and then tried to edit my Favourites bouquet. Since then, my T3 intermittently and unpredictably becomes completely unresponsive to remote control and front panel inputs. The current channel continues to di...

It seems strange to me that the picture display depends on the transparency of the OSD.
I would have thought that display of a media file would be independant of the OSD.

Thanks for the information.

Lex200

The photo viewer applies the same OSD transparency as do all of the screens so if your OSD transparency in Setup>AV setup>OSD position is less than 255 then you will see what is behind. Thanks SimonCasey - changing the OSD transparency to 255 allows me to view pictures on a black background. This s...

I'm no expert but the T4 should appear on your network as a unix machine. The recordings are stored in a directory with 5 files per recording, 4 of which have metadata such as bookmarks. I've copied or moved the largest file, which contains the recording, across the network without problems. There a...

My T3 can display a folder of photos from my NAS but I can't see how to remove the background image (and sound unless I mute it). When I pause or finish playback of a recording I am left with a still image as the background and the photos display as the foreground (which is transparent) resulting in...

Having tried automtimers for a day, the things I'll miss with IceTV are: easy set up - one click to record a series of a certain program - autotimers seem to have lots of settings over a few pages no repeats - I'll repeat that, no repeats. Yes, you can set up certain filters to exclude repeats (see...

Thanks peteru. That's very helpful.

I'm using the Kingray powered splitter to my T3 and get 99% and 99% reported on all tuners. My problem is that I get occasional errors only when changing channels. I get a blank screen and the tuner reports 0% signal. The screen remains blank with 0% signal for 15 secs up to 3 minutes then suddenly ...

Lex200

I used the online update method successfully on my T3. It was very slow and took about 45 mins despite a fast wired internet connection. However, it showed the progress on screen throughout so I knew where it was up to. It then rebooted without a problem. I was upgrading from the 20150417 firmware a...

Thanks Wiz HQ - that's very helpful.

Lex200

As an amateur photographer, I'm aware that camera manufacturers now routinely have a lens roadmap so that their customers can see what new models are planned and get an approximate date for release. I'm finding the sudden slew of new Beyonwiz models somewhat confusing and have some sympathy with the...

Using Media doesn't solve all of the problems raised. If I select the media button and an audio file the TV picture remains frozen on the screen while the audio plays, which was one of the issues raised by the initial post. If I select the media button and start a photo slideshow by selecting a jpg ...

Lex200

Thanks prl, that was very helpful. I've changed the default setting for the power button to shutdown and this generally works well. However, I'm still finding the T3 remains on occasionally after recordings. All IceTv timers have the "after event" setting set to auto. I expect that auto wi...

Lex200

I generally power off my T3 each evening by selecting shutdown after a long press on the power button. It wakes successfully to record timers but remains in a power on state afterwards. I've read in these forums that the T3 can power down after timers but I can't find the setting in any of the menus...

Lex200

No. But allowing long-press to do repeat skips is on my agenda. Yes please. Now that the new skip buttons have been implemented, that's the thing I miss most from my old S-1. My down key is set to skip back 90 sec, so skipping back through a long program is painfully tedious requiring multiple key ...

When I skip back to watch a sequence in slow-motion, I press the pause key and then the fast-forward key to start replay in slow-motion. The replay starts at 1/8 speed and the speed can be varied using the fast-forward and rewind keys. The bug is that the replay skips after a few seconds e.g. rewind...

Lex200

I'm still getting multiple reboots when starting from Shutdown. The NAS is no longer connected, so that has been excluded as a cause (see original post). When starting from Shutdown the system usually reboots 1-5 times. With the new bootloader and beta software, I can see that the bootloader runs ea...

Lex200

My preference would be the same for both timeshifting TV and playback of recordings. When skipping, fast-forwarding etc, I generally know what I'm watching and only want info about the skipping and want it to not interfere with my viewing. I'm presuming I can still get all that info by pressing OK w...

Lex200

Any chance of a separate new infobar exclusively for skipping, fast forward, rewind, slow mo etc. I'd only be interested in the progress bar and speed in a very minimalist display. This could be activated by any of the skip keys with the existing displays still available through the OK key. In this ...

Lex200

I've lost count of how many times I've asked that if people want to discuss ways of improving the information displayed when skipping to please start a new topic for the discussion. Apologies. It's hard for the less frequent visitor to keep up with forum content and how best to post. I'll start a n...

Currently the OSD transparency is set in a hard to find place (under OSD position menu) and is the same for all OSDs. My wishlist, with no consideration of practicality or previous requests, would be: Transparency setting 1: When I press skip, FF, RW, slow motion buttons etc, a new minimalist OSD wi...

For anyone else having difficulty finding it, I updated to the beta firmware and mediaportal appeared on the list of plugins

Lex200

My experience is the same as xlrcomm. The extensions starting with "med..." occur after 7 page downs indicating that the list we're seeing has fewer entries than prl. I'm also using the last official firmware. Do we need to change to the beta firmware to see a more complete list? Or is thi...

Lex200

Thanks peteru - that makes more sense.

Lex200

What about the new streaming services such as Netflix, Stan etc.
Is the T3 capable of being the interface weteween these services and my TV?
Are there plans to make the T3 a compatible device for them?

Lex200

I've had some poor quality recordings that look like they may be due to poor reception. I have a good quality signal feed into Tuner A then connections through to Tuners B, C and the USB tuner D. When I press the OK button when viewing live TV there is a graphic at lower right showing Tuner AB usual...

I usually Shutdown the T3 overnight. I'm running the latest official firmware. When I reboot it the next day it will often recycle through the boot sequence (black screen-> large blue circle -> small blue circle with water drops -> start again) up to 5 or more times before starting. I have an autofs...

I am using the latest beta firmware. When I view a folder of .jpg pictures by selecting the first file in the folder, the images are displayed in a slideshow and there is a menu item somewhere that has a number that I think determines the slideshow duration. The bug is that the TV service continues ...

Thanks Peter I appreciate your efforts to maintain the bug and feature list. It was not my intention to complain or agitate. I've only had my T3 for 10 days and am still learning the ropes. I was surprised to see that there wasn't a list available in this forum, having been used to one in the past f...

Lex200

I see some reports of bugs with a number suggesting there is a list somewhere. Is it available in the forum or is it a private list? Similarly, is there a list of Feature Requests? I have a few of my own but would prefer to see what's already been collated rather than add individual posts. My bigges...

Lex200

No - it is not simply a result of the difference in standby states. As per my previous post: No, there is another difference between the T3 and S1 behaviours. With the T3, if the Wiz is left running and the TV turned to Standby, the TV will not find a signal when the TV is turned back on. That was n...

Recommendations for Must Have and Highly Recommended plugins would be helpful.
My impression is that there are none with the possible exception of those installed by default.
Is that a fair summary?

That said we did create one for the ViX image which is covers most things and may be helpful to new users to Enigma2 based receivers, but out of respect of the forum I wont upload it here so as not to offend the Beyonwiz team. I can provide a link if required. As a newcomer, I'd be grateful for tha...

Thanks simoncasey for the suggestions: Firmware update on the TV (just cos LG said there isn't one, doesn't mean that wasn't the case a few years ago. What model number is your TV?) LG 32LX2D - a Google search failed to find one. Finding a computer with a serial port to connect to the TV might also ...

Lex200

the old TV worked fine with the S1 That's because on the DP-series, going to standby is the same as turning off the power. On the T3, standby just disables HDMI output. You would have to do full shutdown on the T3 to have the same behaviour as DP-series. No, there is another difference between the ...

Lex200

Thanks for the helpful responses. The problem seems to be with old TVs that will not correctly renegotiate the HDMI link. You would need to upgrade the firmware on the TV to fix the problem with the TV. And yet the old TV worked fine with the S1. What has changed between how the S1 and T3 negotiate/...

I've updated to the latest beta firmware but that has not solved the issue :cry: The TV manual suggests setting computer output to the TV at 1024x768 at 60Hz but setting the T3 to output 760p at 60Hz hasn't helped. Are there any other suggestions for adjusting the AV settings? Buying a new TV, to su...

I received my new T3 on Thursday having been an S1 user since the first week they were available. My main problem is that if the TV is turned on while the T3 is on (or in Standby then turned on) - there is no image and no sound. The TV displays a message to confirm input is set to HDMI and a "N...

I've had an S1 since week 1 of it's release but it's showing signs of failure despite a Warkus update some time ago.

Has anyone received an official first shipment barebones model yet?
If so, can you confirm that it is simple to install a hard drive and all the necessary components are supplied.
Thanks

I spoke to the guy who answered the phone at IceTV yesterday.
He said there was no ETA but he expected an announcement soon about the T3 and Ice support. When asked if the announcement would be good news, he responded positively.
Makes me more tempted to order before the deadline - but still wary.

Lex200

It looks like there are 2 SCART connectors on the back panel. Do either of those accept input?
