Thanks Paul. I didn't quite follow all of that, but I think I get the general idea. I looked at the Wireless Adapter settings and found that it has been allocated 192.168.1.153. I couldn't figure out how to change it, so I just turned off DHCP and it seems to have retained the same IP address. So, I...

It seems my battle is not over yet. I manually enabled IceTV and forced a guide download, but then it sat like that and did nothing for the next whole week until the data ran out. This is despite being set to 'log in to IceTV server every 15 minutes'. The IceTV log shows no activity since the manual...

madmax

Yep, it was the non-auto encryption setting that did me in.

IceTV now working! Thanks all - legends as always!

madmax

Ah, silly me. A firmware update did the trick. The dongle must be newer than the firmware I was running. So, now I see the WLAN option, and it can detect my wifi network no problem (Telstra NBN Gen 2 modem). But the wizard doesn't ask me for the wifi password at any stage. I presume it needs it some...

madmax

Ok, that first screen is the one I don't see. Mine goes straight to the second screen, showing "LAN connection". That means the WiFi dongle isn't being recognised. Which is what Grumpy_Geoff is trying to verify in the post above. I have no idea how to get into /var/log/messages, but let's...

Also, can someone show me a screenshot of where the WLAN option appears, when a dongle is recognised?

madmax

So I plugged it into the PC, and got this message: Device driver software was not successfully installed. Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed. 802.11ac WLAN Adapter No driver found But as you can see, it does recognise it as a WLAN adapter. So, n...

madmax

Maybe I can test it in my PC tower?

If I put the dongle in my PC, what would you expect to happen if the dongle is functional?

madmax

Did a power-off reboot, but no change. Ran network wizard, no WLAN option that I can see. When I try the USB port with a different USB stick with files on it, the T4 recognises it and offers to play the media files, so the port seems functional.

Could I really be unlucky enough to get a DOA dongle?

madmax

I go into:

MENU>Setup>Network>Network adapter selection

It is already set to LAN, and I can't see any way of changing that setting, as the cursor does not go up to that line.

Confused.

madmax

Hi all, it's been a long time..... I just moved house and decided to change my T4 from LAN to Wifi, as all I need is IceTV's guide data. So I ordered and received a wireless dongle from the Beyonwiz shop, plugged it in to the rear USB port, but no idea what to do next? I can't see where to change th...

madmax

Did the firmware upgrade tonight, still only two tuners.

Looks like it will have to go in for repairs.

madmax

Ok, so you recommend a firmware re-install? I guess it's worth a shot.....

madmax

Devices info shows only Tuner A and Tuner B. I presume it should also show C and D?

Also, the Tuner Allocation/Priority settings does not include Tuner C or D as an option, it only has A or B. Presumably because of the above?

madmax

Hi all, it's been a while..... :) My T4 has been running faultlessly until recently, when one day I found that I could no longer record two channels and watch a third (different mux), i.e. it is now behaving like a twin tuner. When attempting to change to a third mux, it freezes on the first display...

madmax

I can confirm the path is /media/upnp. I had no idea that using DLNA could cause problems.

I'll do a mount as autofs the next chance I get.

Thanks all.

madmax

I have no idea. My knowledge of all things network-ish is pretty close to zero.

But thanks for the tip. I'll have a play around with mounts and see what I can figure out.

madmax

I can assure you they are .mpg files (checking Properties via the PC confirms it). I don't even use playlist files. I had to Google .m3u to find out what this extension is. It affects the T4 because the T4 won't play them. But I don't know if the NAS is 'reporting' them to the T4 incorrectly, or if ...

madmax

I have a bunch of home movies on my NAS, all .mpg files. They all played fine for many years. Then recently my NAS died, and I had to buy a new one (ReadyNAS 204), and copy all the movies across from a USB backup onto the new NAS (took several days!). But now the T4 sees some files as .m3u extension...

madmax

I don't see any sign of duplicate IP adresses in my router's device list. No plugins installed, except possibly IceTV (can't remember if it was already installed?) Yes, the PC can see both Wizzes in My Network Places. Trying a different cable from the T2 to the wall socket will be easy, but anything...

Hmmm, ok. Clearly all is not well. Anything else I can do or try? Hoping not to have to start from scratch.....

madmax

Sounds like a netmask problem. Post the network info from both T2 and T4. Found in the About section. T2: IP 192.168.0.110 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Broadcast: 192.168.0.255 T4: IP 192.168.0.111 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Broadcast: 192.168.0.255 I tested a T4 recording via the T2 tonight, it is seriously l...

madmax

Success! Just by randomly playing around, I went into the Expert settings and set an IP scan range of 192.168, and it found all devices with the correct IP addresses, including itself. There is still a duplicate version of itself on 127.0.0.1 which I don't know how to remove from the list, but at le...

madmax

I notice this subforum is titled "Networking your T3/T4", i.e. T2 is not mentioned. But is there any reason the T2 shouldn't work?

madmax

127.0.0.0 seems like an unusual address to find to me. The home address is actually 127.0.0.1 Sorry, you're right, it is 127.0.0.1 I ran the Network Wizard and it reports the correct IP address by DHCP, but after doing another Network Browser -> Rescan, it still finds itself as 127.0.0.1 It's a wir...

madmax

prl wrote:127.0.0.0 is a generic IP address that means "this computer".

The T4 doesn't show this address when it finds itself on the network, so why is the T2 doing this?

madmax

I've been running a T2 and T4 independently of each other for a few years, and it's about time I got them networked. I need my T2 to see the T4's recordings. By logging in to my router, I can see both their IP addresses, and they both get IceTV, so I know they both have working connections. But when...

I regard the EPG guide as a very important screen and it is used most often in my household. I'm one user very used to the behavior of the "traditional" Wiz boxes. So I'd prefer to see the current time column highlighted/coloured differently (subtle difference like shown in the sample). I...

madmax

I don't think people have arrived at a consensus for what the change should be. :roll: Just shade them grey or otherwise light blue like the DP series. Keep it simple and forget about the turquoise and magenta suggested earlier, that could be done later if its really wanted. At least it's a start. ...

I suspect they will only give you one if you report issues with the one you have.

madmax

Has anyone submitted an enhancement request for the 'now on' shading?

madmax

Sorry guys, been absent for a few hours - and it's interesting and gratifying to see so much interest in this topic. EPG functionality is a primary issue for me, probably #1 issue of any PVR. So yes, I'm passionate about it. :) I commented earlier in this thread about the 'keep EPG history' functio...

madmax

I don't disagree with your suggestion about bold text and the vertical timeline but the issue here is that there are two separate issues trying to be resolved in one go. 1) showing what is currently on and 2) creating a better differentiation between the blocks so it is more obvious when the curren...

That first image looks great, a big +1 from me.

madmax

I can't add much to this conversation other than 'I also want it'. In the short term, I'd even settle for just the currently-watched 'now' cell being shaded. Obviously when you first open the EPG, this cell is shaded yellow, but once you move away from it there is no visual reminder of which service...

madmax

It doesn't work for me either, with my Panasonic VT50 with Viera Link enabled and Power On Link set to On, hence this thread of mine.

madmax

most supplied remotes (BW & Toppy IME), although they can control some aspects of a TV, can't switch inputs. It makes them useless, and I can't understand why they'd bother making it a "feature". Even then, they will switch to an input, but not back to the previous one. The DP-S1 remo...

madmax

T2 now arrived. Reading with some concern the posts about the remote and volume locking. Think I'll wait until I have a full day clear of other distractions before I attempt the T2 installation! I've lodged a support ticket to find out (a) if the T2 remote is volume/power programmable like the T3, ...

madmax

Interestingly, on the BW website, the specs for the T3 remote are:

Specifications
Support Models T3-BB, T3-500, T3-1000, T3-2000, T3-4000.

Yet the one I have is happily controlling my T2 and my T4 (separate rooms), despite the T4 manual suggesting that each model uses its own unique code set.

madmax

The T2/T4 remote doesn't support Volume locked mode AFAIK. Surely not.... please, someone say it isn't so. :cry: Why would they remove such a useful feature from their flagship model (T4) :?: Manually switching modes is sooooo annoying. If this is true, I want to return my T2 remote and swap it for...

madmax

Have you tried any of the 4 digit codes from the T3 manual? Aha, yes, they are the same as the T3 manual, thanks. :wink: So I tried to follow the instructions on p.48-49 for setting up the remote to 'volume-locked' mode and 'master power set', and I couldn't get past the first step "press and ...

madmax

Just installed a T4 and a T2. :D My instruction manual for the T2 is missing the 4-digit code page that I need to get the remote to recognise my TV. I have the page that starts with "Merritt" and ends with "Osume" repeated 3 times in a row, then the next page jumps to "Revox...

If you start viewing the DP during an auto power on recording then you must do something active like change the channel or enter the playback menu to cancel the auto shut down. Usually I'm just using the EPG and watching live TV (channel change is likely). I've never taken note of other possible ac...

madmax

It still happens for me on .350

The Wiz was supposed to detect remote control usage and cancel the shutdown, but that does not seem to be the case.

madmax

I have been running the new software and it seems to fix the OK problems as advertised. However, one bug has shown up. In EPG pressing the CH up advances the days one at a time. Pressing the down key work correctly except for being unable to return to the current day - it stops at tomorrow. Looks l...
