[Wiz HQ]

Here is how you install the IceTV plugin using the new firmware.

I have done every thing in the video and also another popup screen where I had to activate IceTV. When I press the EPG button I get the IceTV EPG and I can click on a TV show and set a timer to record it. I can even set an auto-timer. But when I log into IceTV with my PC and select TV programs they do not record on the T3. This worked fine on the P2 that died after 5 years. So it would appear that I have a problem getting the T3 and IceTV to work together. I have gone into IceTV and changed My Recorder and checked to make sure that what I have called the T3 and the name I used in the IceTV My Recorder when accessing from my PC are the same. I am obviously missing a checkbox somewhere. The T3 records to a NAS. All the timers I have set using the T3 and the T3 remote are on the NAS. What am I missing?

Set a regular "non-autotimer" timer on the T3, then log onto the IceTV sir and check that the timer is now set successfully on the Ice servers. This will verify that the recorder on the Ice servers matches your T3.

Just make sure that there are no duplicate recorders in your Ice account.

The most common mistake that people make is that they make a recorder manually on the IceTV web site. The proper way is to make sure the T3 creates is own device via the T3 setup wizard. You can then log onto the IceTV web site and use the automatically created recorder.

Autotimers and IceTV are mutually exclusive. IceTV is not allowed to touch (or even know about) autotimers.

That's because IceTV is more or less "server based" autotimers. Both IceTV and autotimers are just methods for creating and modifying ordinary timers for individual events.

By the way, this video will become out of date with the 16.1 series firmware.

The firmware will come with the plugin pre-installed, so you will not need to download it or reboot. The updated IceTV plugin is less "in your face" and it will not force you to choose an EPG provider. Instead you will need to go to the plugin menu, select the IceTV plugin and use the setup wizard to configure the plugin. There are also menu options to enable/disable the IceTV plugin.

The new version of the IceTV plugin also won't mess with your padding or media browser layout settings.

OK, that appear to be what I have done. So do I have to go back to "factory settings" and start again? I have deleted the device on the web site and restarted the T3 and ran through the IceTV wizard and nothing happens on the IceTV web site. The My Device remains empty.

The T3 shouldn't be able to authenticate with the Ice servers unless there is a recorder account there for it (AFAIK). If the Wizard has completed successfully, there should be a matching recorder in your account.

If there isn't I'm not sure how it has gone wrong.

What does the IceTV plugin log say after you try to manually refresh the EPG and timers?
