Re: Can't empty trash and sluggish menu operation

Thanks McQuade and Peter, I now partly understand what you are saying about the Trash folders and that has shown me how to delete the Trash. As it turns out, I wasn't aware that there was a trash folder inside the movie directory and instead of emptying that I was trying to empty a trash folder that...

Can't empty trash and sluggish menu operation

Hello everybody, I have some weird things happening with my T3 lately and there seems to be an ongoing accumulation and addition of problems. I have a T3 with the March 12 2015 boot loader and the last upgrade was 18-08-2016. It has a USB stick tuner -tuner D (supplied by Beyonwiz as part of a bonus...

Re: T3 stuck on displaying Beyonwiz T3

These used to be popular and completely ineffective. I've had packages with these tags busted and contents undamaged. I also had packages with holes punched through and these tags completely unaffected. Funny story here. Acquaintance of mine has been in computers since they first came out. He deliv...

Re: T3 stuck on displaying Beyonwiz T3

Yeah, the Seismix 5 is a pretty hefty piece of gear. When you have 8 screws in 10mm MDF, supporting 15+kg speaker cone, bouncing on the back of a truck between Sydney and Adelaide, it tends to take it's toll. However, I think the major problem is actually the handling by couriers - all it takes is ...

Re: T3 stuck on displaying Beyonwiz T3

How do I get the Beyonwiz working again? Is there a button sequence press on start up so that the Beyonwiz will start up from the USB port or something? It will need to go back to Beyonwiz for repair. It could be a power supply fault or a motherboard fault, neither of which are user repairable. Sub...

Hello Peter, Thanks for that explanation which explains quite clearly where the problem lies. Mine is in the first case and displaying Beyonwiz-T3 so it must be that the boot loader is not loading.

Re: T3 stuck on displaying Beyonwiz T3

Hi All, Do any users having boot issues have *any* things plugged into the USB ports of the T3? If so, unplug *all* the devices, remove power to the T3 for about 10 minutes and then try powering on and booting. If that works then reconnect the USB devices and try a reboot. Regards, Ian. Tried this ...

G'day All, My T3 is set up for long press on power button to go to immediate shutdown. When I hold the power button, the display turns off but I can still hear fans or HDD still making a noise and heat still comes from the T3 even if it is the middle of the night or next morning.

Re: Frustration with understanding Timers

I must be a real dipstick as I do not understand Timers, Auto Timers, Program Guide and Icetv at all. Not at all, there is a lot to learn if you are coming in cold. Since you are using IceTV, you can probably forget about the T3's Auto Timers for now. Auto Timers are set from the T3 that will recor...

I am a prospective T3 buyer, having a TiVo at present. Sick of that though.
