Hi Tony,

The last time I did a 'resend all' they were kept and I haven't done one for months now, and in any case, the 'weekend' view timers I have were still there!
But, Ice has been doing strange things to some of my timers - like on occasions sending a series timer to the wrong 'Wiz

Grumpy_Geoff

Pressing the 'play' button to create a 'view' timer on an 'historical' program entry in the EPG caused the 'Wiz to lockup. DP-P2 and DP-S1, both on .301 f/w 'Setup/Misc/Preference/EPG Action' is set to "Change Svc" Multi-service EPG layout used EPG is via IceTV (if that is relevant) I lost...

... with the exception of the EPG overlaps issue... ... which I believe only affects the *FTA* EPG - if Curly uses IceTV he shouldn't see this issue. If so, to what? As for firmware flavours for the DP-P2 (firmware nomenclature 01.05.nnn c.f. 01.07.nnn): 01.05 series is for 'Revision A' units - P2'...

Perhaps they have, at least that's the impression I got from this post.

Am I doing something wrong, or haven't done something I need to, or am I dealing with a crook HDMI cable?

I can confirm the bug and I don't even have to go to standby. You will see that when you choose 4:3 P&S in the menu, and then go to live TV, it is letterboxed. The only way to get 4:3 P&S visually is to cycle thru with the zoom key. Added bug B1(c) for this, thanks. My P2 does _not_ show th...

Hi Kae and Rob, In case it is not a reception issue, let's take a look at the 2nd set of issues as reported in your 1st post - 1. "the designated file system is read only" message when trying to move/copy a file that may have already been copied. This can be resolved by detaching the USB a...

Grumpy_Geoff

MSG "Invalid task action" what now? I had that message a few months ago. I tried resending, I tried scheduling new programs, I tried clearing Ice and EPG caches - the EPG would come back, but no schedules. Through the various display messages I could see the 'Wiz was contacting the Ice se...

Hi Peter, 1.07.014 and 1.05.301 are not up or down grades with respect to each other. They are the same firmware release, ...

Hi Mark, Sadly though, I know the unit is not a-ok at present. I tried to use a USB HDD on it and neither the front or rear USB ports work, so back to the drawing board, there is definitely some further issues with the board! You know way, way more than me about these and I don't mean to be a know-a...

Hi Mark, ... No I have not tried ABC HD. I downgraded and it worked fine so I didnt bother trying the HD channel, I just assumed a firmware issue and left it at that Thinking about this a bit more, and assuming you don't get your hands on a beta from DPG - we don't know how long it will be before th...

Grumpy_Geoff

Hi Mark, The new firmware you speak of is not for the older P2 units - according to the www.beyonwiz.com website. When you click on the 1.07.014 firmware, the notes come up and say specifically not to be used on units with SN below a certain range. Interesting, as that's not what I saw - so I looked...

Grumpy_Geoff

One thing I can confirm, downgrading to .280 is a YES to fixing the ABC problem. It definitely appears to be firmware related! Okay, so it's .301 then, but why is it only affecting the P2 and not the P1 since they're both running .301? Also, why - I think the weirest thing is that the recordings fr...

Grumpy_Geoff

I have no idea why it only affects my P2 and not my P1 though, as ABC on the P1 is perfect! Any chance the - "4. WATER DAMAGED UNIT, Firmware chip burnt out, and water marks cover 20% of the board and case inside, even pulled a leaf out of the bloody thing, lots of dirt/dust inside." has ...

Same here - Northern suburbs (Marmion) and no problems (although my antenna is only about 4 months old).

Thanks for the responses folks. I'll ponder some more about the other options - but I suspect I'll end up with a 2nd P2 and put up with blocking the IR sensor to avoid the remote conflicts until the 2nd unit is despatched to the family room. Unless, hmm, tap, tap, tap - hmm, how long do I wait for a...

I have a DP-P2, and am after another 'Wiz to allow additional tuners to be deployed. At present I have only one TV, so ideally both units would need to be in the same room.

I've a WD Elements 320GB drive and have the same front c.f. back USB port issue - I just assumed there was more power delivered to the rear port.

With IceTV will using the P2's Guide and setting a record timer work differently under Ice? ie. will it record the show if the timeslot moves - or will the timer still only be static and this only work if the show is scheduled from the Interactive website? I believe the latter - only if created via...

Grumpy_Geoff

I have updated to the latest firmware on the PVR and at least it now stores the guide but I do'nt think it is updating unless I specifically select the channel.

My brother is intent on purchasing a DP-P2 and was wondering how 4:3 centre cut is functioning in the .301 f/w (as he only has a 4:3 TV).
