I use it to set timers if I'm away from home (connecting via a VPN). If you are connected to your home network with a VPN you can access Openwebif and set timers that way. Just open a browser on your device and enter the device name or IP address. I access my V2 & T2 all the time at home and aw...

After nearly 4 years of trying nearly every release of 19.3 up to and including 19.3.20211010, I can categorically state that it is the problem. The hardware runs perfectly fine under 17.5.20190207. Unfortunately I have to run 19.3 at the moment so I can have LAN access for IceTV and OpenWebif 17.5 ...

Hello me little lovelies! My T2's ethernet port decided to stop working last week and after much cable swapping and such, it appears it may have died. I pinched my TP-Link wireless adapter (T4U v1.0) from a PC and knowing that it had worked on the T2 previously, flashed the T2 with 19.3.2021010 and ...

I grabbed my phone this morning to see if the app would refresh the guide. It did. Hooray I thinks! Jumped on the PC and the site was still dead. Glad to see all the responses to my post overnight but not much joy with no website to look at. I cannot ping IceTV.com.au nor the quoted IP. Possibly 52....

Hi all,

It appears that the IceTV website is down at the moment. My internet is working fine otherwise.

Has anybody been in contact with IceTV to report this?

Cheers,

There appears to be a whole lot going wrong with Beyonwiz over the last year or so. I had a V2 power supply go pop 10 months ago and reached out to BW for a replacement under warranty and received no reply. I tried following it up a couple of months later and again after another 4 months but there w...

Finally got onto the IceTV forum and saw Daniel's response about the fix. Waiting!

I purchased my V2 with dual tuner + USB hub back in Feb of this year and am still waiting for the hub after 9 months. My V2 power supply died some months ago and I asked support for details on the replacement process and heard nothing back. It is currently ( :shock: ) running off a third party brick...

- I have multiple connections from each Beyonwiz box to my PC, and both Samba and FTP work fine (though it takes sone 15 seconds to access the V2 for each 1st time via Samba, but only 1 second for the T2). I have the same delays with my Archer D9 accessing the T2 and the V2. By the time I've realis...

Nice to be associated with the lofty ones though.

Brainz

True!
I was thinking baby steps but why not go a little further.

Brainz

If you have network access to your V2, you could use OpenWebif to zap to the channel you want to leave it on.
This should work if the V2 is on or in standby

Have you investigated an ethernet over power solution to bypass the need to use wifi.

I get this error all the time and it is fixed by refreshing the page.
It is a bit annoying because this loads the Television/Bouquets page and I have to navigate back to the timer page each time.
I have learnt to always refresh OWIF before I attempt anything like this.

No! No! No! I always let the other forum members help Judy with her tech problems, but one day she seemed so down that I had to ask if she had anyone to turn to when things were going pear-shaped. This was in the middle of lockdown and I was genuinely worried about her. She wrote of her son's mental...

My 3 month old V2 power supply has gone and pooped itself, tripping a mains breaker and leaving me without power on that circuit until I could find the cause. I was aware that the T2 supply was compatible so my backup T2 is offline until I can get a V2 warranty replacement from BW. Given that BW pro...

I am enjoying my new V2. It is a vast improvement over the old T2. However, I wonder if the USB drive is not included in the polling for the Power Timers. A couple of times now I have been copying files for several hours and the V2 has gone into Deep Standby stopping the transfer. I have the Power T...

I was wondering about this issue too. I would have asked today but you beat me to it. Interesting!

I bought my refurbished T2 at the start of 2017. I too hammer the poor little thing. It is recording nearly all the time and I am usually accessing those recordings at the same time. I use the internal drive as in place storage and it is nearly always full. Running 17.5 firmware it has very few prob...

A reboot is always required if the USB tuner is not detected. It's not "hot-swappable". Could you tell that to the tuner which insists on hot-swapping itself out of the system in the middle of viewing/recording! In my experience, they just fail, there's no "starting to fail" tim...

Hi all, My T2 is having issues with the bluey tuner I bought a few years ago. Every now and again it will disappear from the system. When this happens the T2 either locks up or just refuses to acknowledge it's existence. GUI restarts do not always bring it back requiring power off reboots which is v...

I am going to assume that this only runs on 19.3 although I can't find any specific mention of that in this thread. I very optimistically tried it on my 17.5 T2 and it went into a boot loop as soon as I installed it. I am now flashing 19.3 20201121 to fix the loop but given my previous many failed t...

I spent 30 minutes typing in a reply, hit submit and it disappeared, so here is a short version. When I try to upgrade to 19.3 my T2 becomes flaky and I revert to 17.5. This has happened many times. The symptoms are similar to those experienced on the 25th with the IceTV crash. 17.5 has a different ...

Have you power cycled the box since the Sunday IceTV crashes?
My T2 was in a bit of a state even after the server problems were sorted.

It was definitely IceTV. I was checking my timers before heading out for lunch (as you do) and the rest of the day hadn't downloaded to the Wiz. When manual updating failed a handful of times with the error "Error trying to fetch: Python int too large to convert to C long" I submitted a cu...

Hi Judy! As I have tried to tell my kids, a little less screen time is good for you. But seriously, please tell me you have someone to look in on you when things get you down.

Brainz

I'm 99% sure it was there this morning, but it has been missing since lunch time for me.
Not a big issue because I have IceTV but I like to crosscheck with the FTA guide sometimes for late changes!
For what is is worth, Freeview has full listings.

I have tried connecting my 2 USB hard disks through a USB3 powered hub on the standard hard disk USB port but then the V2 hangs on boot. I suspect that the port is USB2.

I bought the T2 in Feb of this year and applied the 16.1 update soon after so I never got to experience it happening with the original BW supplied tuner.

Is anyone else having problems with RTL2832U based USB tuners in their T2s? Every so often after restarting from shutdown the tuner identifies as something other than DVB-T (usually DVB-S2 but not always) and does not work. Unfortunately I don't tend to discover this until the 3rd tuner is needed th...
