All you need for the EPG is a single port wireless 'g' ethernet bridge - not a four port high speed wireless 'n' model. One additional comment/qualification - if the OP already has an exclusively N network [not stated in his/her posts] then query whether it would be advisable to add an N bridge ins...

Hi all Thought I'd share my experience regarding taking the plunge in upgrading my P1 HDD. For some time now I've been struggling with space on my 200GB Samsung P1 drive - constantly having to make hard decisions about deleting files to make space for recordings. (I do have the ability to transfer o...

Why do you think you made the partition too small? Have you got that many programs installed under PC partition? I think I made it too small because Windows periodically tells me I am running out of "disk space"! I left it as the basic (5GB?) Bootcamp partition size because I did not expe...

I personally use VMware Fusion, as an alternative to Parallels, it runs fantastic as well. Can I ask why you chose VMware Fusion over parallels? I also run VMWare Fusion rather than Parallels. Originally I got Parallels but there was an issue recognising my Pronto on the UBS port when running the P...

I did expend the energy for my Pronto RU990 (to deal with my BR-01 remote for the DP-P1) and can send you a PCF of the codes if that would work. PM me with your email address.

Does anyone else get a little skip at the start of playback from a recorded file, say 5-10 seconds in? I have noticed this on the .280 firmware as well. This doesn't happen on any other files, just the TV recordings. Yes, indeed. A number of people have. That's why it's bug B5(a) in the http://www....

Yours was just timeshifting. The one thing that maybe unique is that your TS buffer was full at 120 minutes, and because your timeshifting, maybe there is a bug that says "Hey, the TS buffer is full" and because you're about to lose some of that buffer, it automatically records it - simil...

Phew! I guess after all that to and fro everyone is now pretty sure - if they weren't from the outset (sorry download) - as to what I was doing and what happened to me. And so, back to the actual substance of my post ("off topic" and "thread hijacking" are pretty well-understood ...

Not only is this a common usage of the words in this forum, it is diagnostically helpful for us to have and keep this distinction. And precisely the reason for my description. I recall forum members in the past having issues that differed depending on whether the timeshift buffer or a recording was...

Absolutely have time shift enabled (plus the warning option).

I had a strange occurrence last night, the first I have experienced with the BW. I have a P1 running FW 301. I was time shifting Harry Potter (not chase playing), and at the relevant time was about 25 minutes from end of the buffer (ie 25 mins behind live TV) - I know this because just before the st...

Hi there I noticed that the new manual for the P1 does not include (on page 11) the discrete power off code that was added last year . Perhaps this could be added in the next version to save people having to hunt for it (or not realising it is there). Otherwise, great job on the manuals to all invol...

Prl is right, copyright is automatic - it subsists under Australian law provided the criterion of original expression is satisfied.

See http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/ip/copyright.shtml for an overview.

So download does not have to do anything in the way of "copyrighting it".

This doesn't quite work when you have multiple people using the thing, with young kids thrown into the mix. Most kids are pretty smart these days. Kids are way smart. My older two (6 and 4) very quickly got comfortable with using my Pronto remote, and navigating through the screens as required to c...

This could mean that even though the Wiz is showing something on LCN30, it may be the SD channel that is LCN3. It is a real shame that our requests to Beyonwiz ages ago for broadcaster info to be detailed in a pop-up gave us useless (well, they should have been useful but are not really) level/qual...

It is not the LCNs that are changing but the names and the stream IDs and you posted different names, so I am guessing you didn't do a rescan. Those names are simply what I renamed them to, sorry if that misled. But, yes, have not yet re-scanned. It takes no time at all to delete the old LCNs and d...

SBS's new LCNs are: Service Logical Channel Number SBS 3 SBS HD 30 SBS 2 32 SBS 3 33 SBS 4 34 Radio 1 38 Radio 2 39 These LCNs should be the same everywhere in Australia.

A query or two, if I may. I checked out SBS and SBS HD late last night after the upgrade and they still appeared fine. So do I need to re-scan (ie might it appear fine now but cause issues later)? I'd prefer not to have re-set favourites! FYI, the tuner information button said 84% strength and 99% q...

There are two ways around this.The first is to do what you have done (and how my setup is) and set the firewall to "Allow all incoming connections", and then use the firewall in your router to block access from outside to services on your Mac that you don't want accessed, including SMB an...

GB

Not sure if this is causing the issue, but don't forget that if you are sharing by an account - and possibly also if via guest - that you also need to enable sharing permission for the account on the folder and files concerned (though right click, Get Info on the folder and files).

I agree Tony. While more recent firmwares have gradually added welcome functionality to the file player (bookmarks, resume play, program info, sorting, etc), the general presentation and usability of the file player is still the main area where the BW falls a little short in terms of everyday use, I...

I've never got around to trying this, but if you edit a bit off the front of the recording on the Beyonwiz before you WizFX it to a .ts file, that may align the start of the recording to the start of an I-frame and perhaps tools will be happier with the file. I know that MPEG Streamclim says that i...

Is there a commercial program that can do a 1 (one/single/solitary) step conversion of BW TS files to DVD? ie. input = TS file, output = Video_TS folder. Do you have a Mac?

I share direct from my iMac. I assumed that the AirPort Utility would allow sharing in a similar way, through a file broswer to select the shared volume or folder. The AirDisk, I am learning, works differently to the iMac - consistently with the nature of a NAS, I guess, which is a shared disk by n...

GB

Thanks Peter, but I am not sure how I only share the folder, not the volume. AirPort Utility does not seem to give that option, and the Sharing prefpane on the iMac does not deal sharing on the AirDisk, it seems to me. Edit: Anyway, that is how the directory structure is automatically created - shar...

Thanks to both of you. You've clarified quite a bit of my thinking on the appropriate setup. The BW does currently access a sharing only account on the iMac to play recordings stored there, so I will look to replicate that on the Airport Disk. Actually, that was originally there when the Airport Dis...

I have a password on mine, and it works fine for my macs. But the Wiz did not see it. I suspect it might require the account name style password.
