Thanks guys,

Reboot fixed it.

Great fast and informed response from the forum - as always.

Hi Team, I have been trying to access ABC iView. This used to work fine last time I used it a while ago. Just press BLUE when watching ABC then the option for iView / HBBTV. But I don't get that option any more when I press BLUE. Not sure if this was related to the recent firmware update. Is there a...

scho

Still working fine.

scho

You guys are not going to believe this... So last Thursday the Support team advised that they received my T3 and had repaired it by replacing the SATA cable. They even sent a photo of my recordings to demonstrate the HDD was OK. I was a little disappointed it did not comeback on Friday so had anothe...

Its on its way...

scho

Thanks guys - really appreciate that.

Zap + Exit on OK.

Had it set up and working just the way I wanted for so long that I forgot how I did it! The Menu button is usually the answer.

scho

Team, Its been a while since I've visited the forum. Glad its still going strong. Have been a keen T3 user for a while. My unit is now out of warranty. On the long week-end recently it got stuck with the spinning wheel and was unresponsive. So I powered the unit off at the AC switch. It did not powe...

scho

Team, Where is the setting to make it zap to the channel when pressing enter on the EPG? I can't find it again and its really annoying me. My T3 got reset to factory defaults (and now the HDD is no longer recognised :evil: Anyway - just trying to use it as a STB and can't get the ZAP to program work...

scho

Got my upgrade done last night - all good. Thanks to all those that did the Beta testing. I'm still exploring the changes, but I do like the return to the skip via arrows - same as the old DP-P2. I appreciate the updated (& corrected) messages, Help screen texts, skins and graphics. The EPG load...

Master status achieved...

Upgrade completed successfully. Thanks to all who have worked on it.

scho

Ah.. Obviously I need to check the EPG and set a better auto timer then for Doctor Who.

But my main point is that I'm pleased that Iview works on the T3. This was my first test. I consider it a valuable source of free content.

Hopefully the issues with the other HBBTV providers can get resolved.

scho

I was able to watch Doctor Who this morning on iview. Great that ABC are making it available as soon as the BBC have broadcasted the episode on Saturday night in the UK. Very happy with extra functionality.

scho

Just got my T3 back and all three Tuners are now working, for the first time.

Very happy with the Support from the DTC team who turned it around quickly.

scho

Well.... Now I'm glad my unit is in being repaired.

scho

I have sent my T3 back for repairs today. It was really weird going back to the DP-P2. Had to relearn the old interface.

Anyway hoping the guys at DTC can fix the T3 and turn it around quickly.

scho

Have opened my unit and the mod referred by PeterU is required. I have completed that, but it has made no difference to my problem, still can't use Tuner C. Will go back to DTC Support. May need to get my DP-P2 out of the attic.

scho

Received info on the mod from Peter U. Have negotiated an outage window on Friday evening to check if my unit requires it.

scho

I found this confusing and got some unpredictable results. You can set the preferred Tuner for Recordings through Settings. But this did not always work as expected. Best I can work out is: If your watching a channel and initiate a recording manually the recording takes the tuner you are currently u...

Thanks (other) Peter for confirming my analysis of the DIP switch settings.

scho

Always the same slot? Even with the correct dip switch settings? I suspect that there is a motherboard modification required. Most beta testers needed this modification, maybe your unit needs it too. Only takes a couple of minutes to do, but unless you are skilled at working with surface mounted co...

scho

So the replacement tuner turned up today. Very happy with that. Can't fault DTC Support. So I inserted the replacement tuner into the tuner C slot and booted. Unfortunately my problem was not fixed. Tuner C still bad. At this point I removed the replacement tuner and set it aside (so as not to get i...

scho

I was contacted by DTC Support Desk who advised me to remove Tuner C, clean the contacts on the edge connector with an eraser and stick it back into the Tuner A slot (with original Tuner A removed and set aside). I did this and my problem moved to Tuner A - same symptoms Blank screen / Pixilation. I...

scho

Have connected direct to tuner C and removed the output to the TV. Set preferred tuner to C and started a timer. Failed. Get error below and "Tune failed!" message.

Very confident that Tuner C is not working.

scho

Thanks Gully - will do and advise.

scho

Thanks Tezza will check out that Plug-in. I don't think Tuner C has ever worked in my T3. I had noticed this problem many times - but I just zeroed in on the cause recently. I had assumed it was unstable firmware originally. We occasionally had trouble recording 2 shows at night and watching a third...

scho

Yep - so I worked out how to force the tuner by Adding a Timer (rather than using the Red circle button). Timer C is definitely faulty. All recordings on Tuner C fail. :evil: The cable from the output of Tuner C goes to the TV. If I switch the TV input from HDMI to DTV I see all channels - so the si...

scho

OK - So I opened it up and reseated Tuner C, checked the cables and carefully closed it up again. But it has not changed my problem. If I start a recording on Channel 7 on Tuner A, then start another recording on Channel 10 on Tuner B, then try to watch Channel 9 - I get the blank screen on Tuner C....

scho

Thanks for the quick reply Gully. I'll get onto that over the week-end and report back.

Will you be updating your avatar on Sunday after Peter Capaldi takes over in the TARDIS?

scho

It looks like my Tuner C is faulty. If I start two recordings on different channels then try to watch a third channel I just get a blank screen, or pixelation. Let's see if I can attach some pictures... image.jpg image.jpg What can I do to troubleshoot? Should I open it up and swap Tuner B & C t...

scho

Thanks Peter.

Not surprised that this issue has already been identified and documented.

Good luck with your pondering and convincing. Thanks for your efforts (and those of many others) to date and in the future. They are appreciated. The T3 has a lot of potential.

scho

I noticed some strange auto timer behaviour. Here is what I did: The Block is starting a new season tonight. So I created a new directory (under hdd) called Block. I then went to the EPG and highlighted the first episode and pressed the Blue button to add an Auto timer. On the next screen I unchecke...

scho

Thanks Gully.

I will check for updates regularly (and view what it is that I'm updating).

scho

Hi Team, I applied the latest update online last week after it was announced on July 14. It seemed to go well, however when I repeated the steps it said "nothing to update". Looks like others had a similar experience. I no longer had the soccer ball spinner (which I did not mind). Just out...

scho

I'd be very grateful for impressions of WAF of the T3 as a direct replacement for the S1. How difficult is the changeover for the non-technically minded with the latest updates? Should I buy now or wait another few months? Is there any information on when IceTV functionality will happen? My experie...

scho

OK - So I have finally had a chance to explore the T3 MediaPlayer functionality for music and the good news is that I think it does everything I want. I worked out how to point it to the root directory of my iTunes library on my Synology NAS. From there it can create a playlist of every music file i...

scho

OK....

So after the recent firmware updates I have now taken the plunge and retired the DP-P2 in favour of the T3.

So far SWMBO is coping well and the WAF is holding at a comfortable level.

scho

Thanks. This video is a god send. I have been trying to work this out for a long time.

scho

I had the same issue with the WiFi Dongle - Network Browser hangs and you have to power cycle the T3 to recover. Works OK via RJ45 Ethernet port. Shares are frustrating - thanks to those who have gone before and documented their frustration on the forum.

scho

New 2TB HDD received and installed.

Now the real fun begins....

I have just received mine too.

I ordered a T3-2000 but looks like I got a Barebones model.

My Aust Post tracking status just changed from "Initiated" to "in Transit".
Hope that means they found it and I should have it soon.

Thanks for the update.
I will wait patiently.
At least I can go straight to the May 5 firmware version...

Team, Order#385 I was advised by the Beyonwiz shop that my unit was "sent on 28th April" but I have not received it yet. The wireless dongle was shipped seperatly on 30 April and I have received that today. Looks like the T3 is lost. I note my credit card has been debited. The Beyonwiz sho...

Still waiting for my unit - apparantly it has shipped...
Will test music when it arrives...

scho

I was wondering if there has been any testing of T3 audio / music support? The P2 used to cop a lot of criticism for not being able to play FLAC files and not supporting a random or shuffle play feature for MP3 files. Times have changed since the P2 was new and Apple dominates the music player marke...
