Thanks Peter.

Has anyone else noticed that the SBS channels have a blank EPG from 5am 3 January?
I just did a tuner rescan and an EPG refresh and it's still blank.
Have I missed an announcement or something?
My aerial is pointed at Black Mountain, Canberra and I have a Beyonwiz T3.

Donno

Thanks for the tip Ian but I have my devices on fixed DHCP-allocated IP addresses too. I suspect that having to rescan was due to having to restart the modem/router and Windows 7 recognising it as a new network. But that's only a suspicion. PS - you'll prabably have to rescan tonight, now that you'v...

I have to do that occasionally myself. It must be often enough that it's become a routine thing and I didn't think of it.

Belkin firewall - that shouldn't affect the communication between the BW & PC, as they're both inside the Belkin firewall. Does he have the Windows firewall turned on? Try turning that off for a while - that helped with my WD problems. I was able to turn it back on later. Does he have Windows 7?...

Donno

I've been going through a similar situation, going from a D-Link modem router to a Netcomm. I had more problems with my WD TV Live getting access to my network shares than anything else but one issue I noticed with the BW was that it took a couple of goes for it to connect to the new router (DHCP). ...

In ICE TV, check the Series Options, Limit field. I think the default is to "Record 2 per day". Obviously you would need to change this in order to get more than 2 "episodes" of your series. I think you can change the default value for this but I can't find it immediately. I have...

Only reservations about that plan is that our amp doesn't do HDMI so will need to use the Component input on the TV, don't really want to shell out on a new amp every few years because the industry can't settle on a bleeding interconnection standard for more than a year or two..... How about HDMI d...

I have noticed occasionally that there are some old timers on the list. I don't go to the timer list very often, so it's hard to remember if they actually worked but I think they did. I haven't been able to link these leftover timers to any specific event. My assumption for now is that s**t happens ...

Mind you, I can only play some ISO's as yet but still have a fair bit of troubleshooting to do, pretty sure it is a network issue external to the P2. I agree - I saw the same behaviour from a high bitrate mkv file that I was accessing over the wired network. When I transferred it to the P2, it play...

... I think glow?s suggestion below is a good one. You could just rename the recordings - e.g put your initial at the beginning to indicate that you've watched it. With the initial at the beginning it doesn?t disappear off the screen if the recording name gets truncated. Or, radical as this may app...

Donno

I guess I could try running the ISO through DVDShrink to reduce the bitrate and see what happens? That's what I did and it worked. Unfortunately I also lost some picture quality (of course). From memory I was shrinking a 6-7 GB DVD (TV series, 4 episodes) down to about 4.5GB (just in case it didn't...

You could upscale/convert S-Video to whatever with a decent AV receiver. So you have S-Video from Austar to AVR, then HDMI from AVR to TV.

Donno

Sounds like a dodgy wall socket to me.

Lucky you. Are you connected to the new improved NBN2+ network?

I get only about 20MB/s, but I'm the old crappy ADSL2+ donkey of a network
Yep. Read that as 750kb/s. Not even the NBN will give me 50MB/s

Or 750kB/s?

Where (in which folder) have you created the Movies folder?

Donno

AVS have a HD video calibration disc (in various formats) for download at:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=948496

No audio on this one, though.

Donno

Because you have a FV-L1, which doesn't allow for transfer of recorded programs.

Donno

Could you create a copy on the BW then try to transfer the copy to the PC? I recollect that this worked on some dodgy Topfield recordings.

Donno

I didn't even know you could have multiple audio streams in an AVI file. Either did I!!? FYI, according to The KMPlayer's media information (gee, that's a handy feature in a media player) the AVI was created using the FairUse Wizard http://fairusewizard.com which can "Encode up to two audio tr...

After some discussions about the BW's abilities as a media player, I thought I'd provide some positive feedback. I obtained an AVI file that had 2 audio streams - Portugese & English. I found this out when I played it in The KMPlayer on the PC and, after about 5 minutes of searching through menu...

Thanks for the notice Trevsy. Just in time, too. I was almost down to my last year of subscription!

My only interaction with auto-delete was to disable it. I'm happy to do my own housework thanks (as long as it only involves pressing buttons).

Donno

I was sure that recordings could be stopped with a single button press from the service the recording was being made on. IIRC, several people specifically did *not* want recording to be stopped by the accidental press of a single button. And I tend to agree with them. That's exactly what I was thin...

Donno

The media player is/was used when I relied on the Beyonwiz to play files, it failed miserably as a media player, we all know that. Not all of us have that opinion - my experience using the BW as a media player has been mostly successful, with a few poorly encoded files not playing particularly well...

So your PCs have a limitation - they can't read ISOs?

Now, now - no need to be like that.

I haven't upgraded my firware yet, but have noticed a number of audio 'stutters' on SBS. Never had this before and simply assumed it's in the transmission. Happens on both live and recorded. Same here - still on 301 and had stutters in Mythbusters and Man Vs Wild from SBS SD on 1 Feb. Haven't notic...

Thanks for the responses - they assure me that it wasn't my setup.

I was watching a recording of the NFL playoff game (originally broadcast about 11:00am on 25/1/10) and noticed that occasionally I would jump through an ad break and the video looked decidedly non-HD. I even jumped back to check that it wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me but I confirmed that it loo...

scho - the only time I've seen these symptoms on a wired connection to my P2 was when I was transferring data between my server and another PC. Obviously I was hitting the bandwidth limit at the server end, rather than at the P2 end.

My common response to over-eager "managers" in my workplace is "Do you want it done now or do you want it done right?". I know that in the complex world of PVR firmware, there are variable levels of "right" but I am much happier to wait for a firmware that has been test...

How do you record a change of channel?

Also, it will be helpful if you provide your BW Audio Settings.

You have not used S-Video. It is a round plug (about 1cm diameter) with about 6 seperate pins. You will still need the red & white cables for audio. If you try S-Video, you will notice the improvement in the Foxtel picture (via the DP2). Not as good as direct to TV but better than composite (the...

Donno

I couldn't check a different cable in the unit as the MB has all 40 pins present and therefore requires a cable without one of the pin connectors blocked. It's not too hard to open that blocked hole - either with a very small drill or a decent needle (sewing, not knitting). Edit: Doh! Didn't see th...
