Beyonwiz Australia

gibster

It's a Seagate SRD0NF1 model - 4TB, 2.5 inch drive. A bit less than 3 years old and I bought it bundled with my Beyonwiz V2 at the time. I have a few others of those for Mac backup purposes and none has given me any problems. I can hear it spinning up, but it is not being detected by either the V2 ...

Everything is back to normal today. That is a strange one. Can't figure out what happened.

gibster

Hi: We had a power failure this afternoon, and when everything came back up I'm having reception issues on the V2. We're in a location where we receive Melbourne and Gippsland stations. I couldn't tune in any Gippsland stations on any network. I thought maybe their transmitter tower was down because...

Someone on your isp probably had a malware infection that resulted in their then-address being flagged as a source of spam. Either that or a while block of your isp's addresses were responsible for the spread of spam and were flagged. The forums make use of a service that blocks some known detected...

Hi. Went to log in today and I got a message that my ip address was blacklisted because of spam. Anyone else having this issue. I rebooted my router and got a new ip address assigned and now I'm able to get in.

Any idea what might be going on?

Cheers

Re-flashed and restored. Will see what happens now. If it freezes again I'll re-flash and not do a restore just in case.

Was it using the USB tuner? I've had problems with that occasionally causing freezes (I used to prefer it for recording, but since switching back to auto the freezing has stopped). Hi. I had changed preferences a while back to see if that was an issue. Originally I had it set on A for the preferred...

Hiya: OK, a little more info. Had Channel 7 Melbourne HD up again in background. Came back into room and picture was frozen again. Instead of opening program guide this time I tried just changing the channels and got the spinner. I went ahead and SSL'd into the V2 with no problems. Issued a few comm...

gibster

Two common causes of the dispatch loop being blocked is that it's run something that causes an infinite loop, or it's run something that calls the operating system, but that call never returns. If you can log into the V2's command-line interface, then it's possible to check whether enigma2 has gone...

gibster

Hi All: i've been trying to chase down a problem for a few weeks now and don't seem to be getting any closer to a fix for the issue. Here are the symptoms: V2 will be on for a day or two. I'll be watching TV (test cricket of late) and the screen will just seem to freeze like a lost signal or somethi...

And me also

Who is selling them and do the tuners require modding for Australian TV?

Here is a link to the VU+ Duo 4k SE2 at World Of Satellite https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/vu-plus-duo-4k-se

Nice looking machine.

Good grief! You're back! Just stumbled on the web page not expecting anything.... So is the shop working as well with stock? I would love to get another V2 if they are still making them... I'm mainly on the Zidoo forum these days, same name with a pussy cat :D Store seems to be the same, most items...

gibster

It would still be nice if we could figure out what it's costing for the site and maybe be able to support it in some way.

Yeah my extra V2 remote died after less than a year, attempted to get replacement but never heard back. Found a multi remote that's pretty good that's not a Logitech, Sofabaton. Easy to program via an App on your phone and bluetooth. I've got one to Bob. They're not too bad. Not as good as the Logi...

gibster

Nice to see the site back up

gibster

Thanks for the detailed replies Peter. I agree strongly with your assessment / view on each point. We are not masters of the future of the forum and are basically powerless to do much, especially about archiving the forum. I doubt there is sufficient interest and organization to crowd-fund it shoul...

gibster

Hi. Just wondering who is hosting the forums. If Beyonwiz is gone as someone stated in another post will these forums be going away? Just wondering since the online store appears to still be there even though it's just about out of everything. It appears all things Beyonwiz are hosted by the same se...

Just an update I cloned my 3TB 3 1/2" drive to a 4TB 2 1/2" drive and it worked fine. Then booted into GParted on a USB stick on my PC. I was able to just select to expand the partition since GParted recognizes Ext 4 drives with no problems. Total time about 6 hours. 5 hours for the clonin...

I can't read German? and can't find an item to select english. Did I miss something?

gibster

Is the interface as seen on the TV similar to the Beyonwiz units? The Vu+ Duo is interesting, and it is expensive but might purchase one with OpenAVT on it and give it a go. Thanks for the information Pri OpenATV is the same fundamental box with mostly cosmetic changes in the skins and some slightl...

gibster

Is there any setting in the V2's menus to automaticaly turn on recorded subtitles. I'm aware that I can turn them on/off once recorded but since the wife always want's them on I'm asking. Hiya, it should be Menu/TV/Subtitles/Automatically Turn On Subtitles That should do it. There are a lot of prog...

gibster

Ian-L-S, as far as I know, the mini-PC based PVR that IceTV has announced to be under development is not an existing PVR (or an IceTV-branded OEM PVR). The IceTV plugin already runs on OpenATV. As for the Vu+ Duo 4k SE, there is an OpenATV image for it, and that should still have IceTV in it, thoug...

gibster

Thanks for the recommendations. I've made me up a bootable GParted usb key and will give it a go after I've cloned the disk to see how it works. After some online searching I discovered GParted is a utility I had used in the past for Win disks for my old HP Media Smart server.

Hi All: Couldn't find anything specific to this on the forum. Sorry if it's here somewhere. I've currently got a 3TB drive hooked up to my V2. The drive occasionally disappears and the V2 reverts to internal storage. The drive is several years old and used to be in my T4 before it died. I'm now goin...

gibster

Thank you, that took care of the problem. No problem. What Mr Quade suggested would have worked, too. I found everything that had disappeared in Lost and Found. The directory names were just a bunch of letters and number, but luckily the actual files inside the directories where the show names. I u...

Any idea how to fix this? Then, in the commandline interface: umount /dev/sdb1 fsck.ext4 -y /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 Hi Pri: Thank you, that took care of the problem.

gibster

I'm having the same issue on my V2 now. Everything was fine. Then there was nothing in any of the directories. You could see from the media page that there were still 1900 GB of data on the drive and 1100GB free. I ran the fsck.ext4 -n /dev/sdb1 and got a ton of errors listed. So I tried the command...

The green icon means that this Timer was created by an "Autotimer". These operate independently to IceTV. An Autotimer is like an independent program/task that regularly scans the EPG looking for matching programs and creates timers. If you delete the timers that it creates, it will simpl...

gibster

Hi All; I've got a V2 and for the last 6 weeks or so I've noticed that when looking at the list of timers there is one for Saturday at 12:30 for ABC America News on SBS One HD. I delete this timer and when I check again a day or so later the timer is back. I use IceTV and when I check the IceTV My W...

Sofabaton works well. Easy to program via a phone app (V2 in the list plus can do manual learning if needed).

Thanks. That looks very interesting. Might get one and try it out. Hopefully replace the 8 remotes I have on the table by me now LOL

All the harmony remotes support the V2.

Thanks MrQuade

gibster

Is there a recommended aftermarket remote that works with the V2 (has codes already programmed in for it)? I've got my logitech with the hub in a box in the garage somewhere, but if it doesn't work with the V2 I won't bother pulling it out.

Thanks

Gib

Hello, my new V2 has had the HDD fail. It is still in warranty period but I have had no reply to my online support request. Does anyone know the best way to arrange warranty replacement? Mark. I'd deal directly with the drive manufacturer. Best way to go about it since you might never hear back fro...

There is the HD Homerun with up to quad tuners using Plex as the back end recording and viewing solution. Not as neat and simple as a Beyonwiz. But that option is there for people that like to play around with things. And funnily enough, a Wiz can be used in place of a HDHomerun box if you want. Th...

I only know of two ways to set up subtitles to be on for all services and recordings. The other is to disable MENU>Setup>TV>Auto language>Prefer subtitles stored by service, and in the same setup screen to set Subtitle language selection 1 to English (use LEFT to get to it quickly from None). That ...

gibster

Didn't we used to have a setting that would make the unit always display subtitles if they were available for live and recorded programs? I used to have my T4, T2 and my current V2 setup that way. But after moving to Victoria, doing a reset of the V2, downloading the latest Beta, and setting it up l...

... and as you know but chrispin may not, one can download a bouquet's list of its services that can be used in the player to change the live TV streaming to a different service/channel from the list by using the player's previous/next track controls.

Nice one

Gippsland.zip Thanks. Got it. Hi. Just moved from Cairns to Newborough (Gippsland) and when I did a channel scan on my V2 all I could find for my area was Melbourne. After scanning I now have like 3 of each channel. One from Melbourne, one from Traralgon, and one from Gippsland. How are areas like ...

Man what a bummer.

That's what happens when you move from QLD to VIC. The best used PVR comes on the market and disappears while I'm off the air. LOL

Hi! My Topfield PVR is on its way out & I am considering buying a Beyonwiz V2. I have a few questions and sent them to Beyonwiz a while ago but have still not received a reply. I heard that the customer service isn't that great (is that really true?) and that it's better to ask questions here o...

gibster

If you tell is why you want to know about this, perhaps we can give you a more specific answer as to what you can expect and what your options are. It was just a question. I wondered if they are virtually identical to a V2 in the event that Beyonwiz disappeared could they be made to replace a V2 wi...

Can these be flashed with Beyonwiz firmware? They look identical at least from the outside.

Thanks Peter Anyone recording directly to a NAS from a V2 care to comment ? I used a QNap TS-451+ when I first set mine up because the external USB drive I was using had issues. It worked great. No problems whatsoever. I did buy an external enclosure and started using a 3TB HGST NAS drive I had jus...

There is an update to IceTV that I made for the OpenATV version that allows you to have the IceTV EPG for channels that have IceTV EPG data and fill other channels from the FTA EPG. Would that do what you want? It's probably going to be a while to get the merge of the OpenATV changes into Beyonwiz ...

gibster

Hi; I'm wondering if there is anyway to use the Free to Air EPG and still have IceTV set the timers on a V2. I know I could setup Autotimers, but IceTV is so reliable. I also notice the FTA's EPG populates every channel not just the ones IceTV decides to send program data for. That is the main reaso...

I don't know if you've got this yet, but here's a getservices.xml for Cairns as of now.
