Peter, Many thanks for you advice. Much appreciated. I was out looking at HDD today. I recall that the pocket ones don't really work with the H1; and seem to recall that anything about 500 G also have trouble. Is that so? Or is my memory faulty. This is the first hickup I've had with the H1 in all t...

Hi there A couple of questions. I have an H1 and in the recent storms, the power failed. The external HDD (Seagate, Freeagent, 50GB, external power; fairly old) was no longer recognised by the H1. My Ubuntu machine did - and after a lot of fiddling read it. It seems the file allocation table or MBR ...

Thanks Peter. Much appreciated. So many helpful folks. Much appreciated.

Better get in quick before this discussion gets moderated for being Off Topic... Also, I tend to compress edited .ts files to .avi using autoGK or avidmux. I have seen a lot of talk about Handbrake. What do folks think of it? It uses a different codec (MP4 rather than .avi) Most grateful for opinio...

At the moment I use WizFX to convert tvwiz to ts on an XP box. Is there soe way to convert tvwiz files to .ts on a linux machine/ I am contemplating using WINE to run an XP emulator, but if there is a native linux solution that would be fab. You can use getwizpnp which is a perl script. Many thanks...

Hello. This may have been answered elsewhere, but searching did not reveal an answer. If so, my profuse apologies. At the moment I use WizFX to convert tvwiz to ts on an XP box.

Tony, Prl - many thanks for your prompt answers which explain all. I'm now inspired to run Linux on that old PC.
BTW - will the HDD formatted on the H1 cope with a 5 BG file? Eg - an ISO file?

Hello - sorry if this is the wrong thread - I've been trawling through and can't seem to find an answer to my query. I have a H1 and connected to it is an NTFS external HDD and a HDD formatted by the H1. I understand this is a variant of FAT32, but for Linux - possibly the EXT2 file system? Is that ...

Hi there - I just wonder whether we have any news on progress about the new firmware to address the HDD crashes in the H1, as detailed in this thread. I hasten to add that as a HD digital box and recorder, the H1 has been really good today. If they could fix the HDD crash issue, it would be excellen...

Does your USB drive spin down? Maybe it goes into some kind of low power/spin down mode when the Wiz has cached enough of the end of the file not to need to request more from the drive, and in that time, the drive spins down, and the next time the Wiz needs to access the drive, there is a timeout (...

And... I think the Tvix uses the same Sigma chipset as the Wiz also (I am sure of it, as I believe it is the Tvix compiler/toolchain I am using to compile little boring apps etc for the Wiz, like a better busybox, and an ntp client for getting the local time from the net... Regards I have been play...

Hi, I connected my USB HDD to my H1 sometime ago but I never registered it as the Recording Drive. This drive used to be connected to my S1 and it has tons of stuff on it that I want to keep. I decided I want to record on it now but when I go to register it a warning is displayed that says all data...

... I assume that since the Beyonwiz has two USB ports that I should be able to use them in this fashion. Absolutely. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. The same for the copy bugs I've already mentioned. I wouldn't be enormously surprised if the two were related. No feedback from Beyonwiz about the pro...

... Can Wizzilla see a file in a folder like WizFx can - of can it only see files on the Beyonwiz itself? [The version I have does not do that.] At the moment, Wizzilla and WizFx cant communicate with the DP-H1 - I gather the operating system on the DP-H1 does not permit telnet - you have to modify...

It would be useful if either you or sog answered the questions I asked earlier in the topic Is it one particular file that causes this problem, or all files you try to play? Playing corrupted media files can sometimes make Beyonwiz devices behave erattically. Are the files that cause problems all a...

I have had a Beyonwiz H1 for a few months and I can say that I am less than happy with it. I get the following error message every time I play a file from Disk and then stop the file by pressing the stop button. "Access Error" "Temporarily not accessible" At this point the Beyon...

Hi there - pls forgive me if I put this in the wrong place. I have a DP-H1and transfer recorded programs from it to my PC over my home network. Then I convert the program to .TS with WizFx - because it can see the file on the PC. I can then convert that to MPEG ot AVI or whatever with Streamclip or ...
