Still down for me too.

I'm not home but can't get to the IceTV website or get the Android app to connect

Remember to back up your settings again after you do the format!

Thanks, yes, I did that, but good advice!

tb123

Thanks, that’s what I thought or had hoped at least.

Hi, I am wanting to try reformatting the internal HDD on my T4. Will the T4 lose any settings by doing this?

tb123

If it was Daniel Hall who called you, and it probably was, then yes, he's the IceTV CTO. I'm also trying to get the currently active discussion in the IceTV beta area about the new features moved to the public area - the discussion started with someone asking which features had been released, but i...

tb123

tbh Peter, I forgot IceTV even had a forum (I haven’t visited that site in over 5 years) thought here WAS the place to discuss IceTV related things on my Beyonwiz.

As it turned out, the IceTV CTO (presumably) telephoned me instead and we had a nice 20 minute chat

tb123

OK, that's cleared that up, but do you want those repeated repeats recorded? I can't think of a good reason why you would. yes, not always, but there are occasions, like 8 out 0f 10 cats for example, that if the episodes are repeated periodically I'll happily watch them again, always good for a lau...

tb123

It won't record recent (where "recent" seems to be "within the last month") repeats of repeats that you've already recorded. I'm not sure what you mean by "ongoing repeats" of a program. It's certainly recording all the episodes of the current season 7 of X-Files for m...

tb123

Timer Collision Avoidance and repeat recording are two different features. The repeat recording feature has been an IceTV feature since forever (more or less). It sounds like this Timer Collision Avoidance is the new feature, and that should not be something that would cause you to no be able to re...

tb123

IceTV now keeps track of the last month (4 weeks?) of your recording history and won't re-record a repeat showing of an episode in a First Runs & Repeats series recording if that episode has already been recorded within that last month. It's most effective against re-repeats of shows marked as ...

tb123

Hi, IceTV have just released a new feature where it does not record any program that has been previously recorded. I’m not familiar with all the nuts and bolts of this feature however on the surface it seems like a good idea. There is one issue though, what happens if I do actually want some series ...

tb123

I was kinda interested in replacing it with the new model but to be honest, a very high percentage of the media we consume now is streamed and really not sure if I’d miss the PVR, similar with the IceTV subscription. It has its uses, but could probably live without it these days.

tb123

Looks like I’ve fixed it for now by switching it off, pulling all the antenna cables out and reseating them and switching it back on. All channels working fine now (I also found that the SD channel racing.com was also not working but believed that to be mpeg4 as well). No idea why only the “HD” chan...

tb123

Hi, we have a DP-Lite i that we’ve had for many years (and a Beyonwiz T4) and a while ago the DP-Lite stopped being able to receive any of the HD channels here is Adelaide. We get sound (sometimes jittery) but no picture. All other non HD channels are ok. The TV it is connected to can receive all ch...

tb123

Thanks Paul - mine never hung during the upgrade, I got the updating Splash screen, went all the way through, said it was finished and to remove the USB and press the power button. I remove the USB and as soon as the power button is pressed, unit just turns off and stays off, non responsive to the ...

tb123

Returning to the USB recognition question, on one of my U4s I had the same problem with a USB stick hanging mid upgrade to 19.3. It was an old faithful but no amount of re-downloading fixed it. Importantly, it hung mid upgrade each time. However, another USB stick worked fine. An old Imation IIRC. ...

tb123

Oh, excellent! My T4 did go to Warkus, but it was 3 years ago now after I bricked it after a front panel update (all stemmed from a power failure) sounds like some other parts were replaced at the time - maybe the regulators? Is that something he would have done as a matter of course back then by c...

tb123

You've lost me? From memory, he's actually had this unit back a year or two ago when after an update the Front Panel died (can't recall at the time if the FP was replaced or the whole unit though) The T4 suffers from a common failure relating to the power regulators. This often hits the tuners firs...

tb123

Perhaps, but that doesn't really explain why either of the USB's I tried, (one new, one old) allowed 17.5 to be flashed back successfully does it? Also, the fact that I did manage to get it to boot once with 19.3 installed (by flicking the power off and on) but not again would suggest something mor...

tb123

I was just using an off the shelf 32GB Sandisk USB3. I might find another (older) one to try. That might be your problem. Wizzes can be very picky about which USB sticks they will recognise when flashing firmware. Anything that's USB3 is probably waay too new to work with the Wiz. The Lexar S50, av...

tb123

Tried it again - different computer, different download, different USB, mainly the same result. After removing the USB and pressing the Power button the T4 just went blank again. Had to power reset it with the rear switch. Can't remember now if I needed to do that once or twice but eventually got it...

tb123

Sounds like the flash process went wrong. Try not using the Beyonwiz supplied USB flash drive for the upgrade. One of the batches of USB drives that Beyonwiz bought appears to have had some fake USB drives thrown in by the Chinese manufacturer. The USB drives were written in such a way that as supp...

tb123

If I switch the power off at the rear and turn it on again I see Booting T4 2015-06-15 and the splash screen, but it just sits there. Have you tried a second power cycle? Leave it off for about 20 seconds just in case. If that's not working, just try flashing from USB again. Yep, done both of those...

tb123

After a little bit of help. I’ve just tried to upgrade my T4 from 17.5 to 19.3 via USB. I did a backup first. After running the update, I get a message to remove the USB and press the power button. When I press the power button the T4 just goes blank, no reboot, no lights, nothig. If I press the pow...

The Gigablue devs probably don't even know what a Beyonwiz is.

Oh right, they virtually looked like the same app, actually thought they probably came out of the same design shop...

tb123

I have only just found out that a recent firmware update to the T4 has broken the WizOS app, so I replaced the iOS app with the Gigiblue one that was recommended. It appears to have the same time slider issue that the WizOS app used to have. Are the devs contactable through here at all or via the Ap...

tb123

I’ll have to check this new app out, just came here as the iOS app is no longer connecting to my T4 on multiple iPad’s.

tb123

My apologies for my snarky tone. I wrote IT software and documentation for years, and it saddens me when it's not done effectively. Same here, we used to edit and rewrite documentation for every new software release of communication systems including install and admin manuals, user guides, quick re...

tb123

I just tried it on my older iPAD running iOS 9.3.5 and found the same as you, it goes back to the beginning of the recording. When I tested it after the app update it was on a iPAD Air2 running iOS 11.something and it works fine, just checked it again. This wasn't working prior to the update, so loo...

tb123

This has been resolved in the updated iOS app released today.

Also, you'll likely need to set the 5GHz radio in the router to 80MHz channel width to see speeds over 300Mbps
Is an 80MHz channel width available in 802.11n?

No, only in 802.11AC I believe which is what Grumpy Geoff had alluded to in the post above

tb123

But it does fix the Time Slider issue in the iOS app which I have just confirmed

tb123

Trust this helps if you hadn't already worked it out. Alan Hey Alan, thanks very much for that, I gave up in the end, didn't have a mouse so right-clicking on a Mac touchpad was a little foreign to me :wink: I tried copying the *.ts file from the T4 to the Mac but that kept failing with error -36 w...

tb123

Hi, quick question, if I browse to my T4 from my Win10 laptop using Chrome, select a program and then click on the disc symbol it downloads the program to my laptop as expected so I can watch it later. However if I use my daughter's MacBook to browse to the same location (using Safari) and click on ...

tb123

Haha, well, I got a break and did a backup and factory reset, ran through the setup wizard and the Terrestrial Bouquet was created ok this time. I've setup my NAS and IceTV, everything looks sweet now :D Strange, nothing different than what I did first time around, I wonder if that's what was causin...

tb123

Are you pressing OK after the location scan and not RED (cancel)? Yes, I'm pressing ok. I have tried both manual and location scans, the results are a successful scans with 41 channels found, press ok, but no terrestrial bouquet with either method. I can't play tonight as the family are using it, b...

tb123

I don't think I have a Terrestrial TV (LCN) bouquet which might be the issue. What I meant was, when I press button 7 on the remote to go to Channel 7, I end up on the ABC, 10 on the remote takes me to Ch9 and so on. When I hit the FAV button I see this http://i.imgur.com/rGkGBPX.jpg When I expand L...

tb123

No - Setup > Tuners > Location Scan > Adelaide

tb123

I actually did do another scan just before I posted the original question, strange. Is it ok to do a location scan for a city?

tb123

Where do I set that?
If I press the "FAV" button on the remote the only 2 options I see is Favourites (TV) which is empty if I select it, and Last Scanned.

tb123

Hi, Ive never had issues tuning my T4 before, normally I do a location scan for Adelaide and everything just sorts itself out. Since getting my T4 back from repair and having the beta firmware installed and the unit defaulted, now my channels don't seem to line up. The EPG and timers work ok, but wh...

tb123

Before I dive into this murky world I think I will await the official release. If a clean install has this issue then I may delve deeper. For now, it all works fine by manually entering the shares so I am not dependent on getting the network browser to work. Curious to know if anyone else with Wind...

tb123

I finally recieved my dead T4 back from repair, it had it's front panel replaced, and the new one also has a red led (although does have the latest firmware installed). Wondering if it's an old display sourced from somewhere. Something seems strange with units being delivered with old firmware, bad ...

tb123

Odd indeed. I could only suggest restarting the Samba service on the NAS to make sure all the settings are current. Perhaps another thing to try is to not name the user "beyonwiz". Perhaps it is getting confused with the "beyonwiz" user alias that is configured in the Wiz itself...

tb123

and the share from the Video folder's perspective

tb123

That's odd. Are you positive that you were using the correct password for the beyonwiz user account? And is the user listed as being able to access the/each shared folders on the NAS as well? Yes, I entered a new password on the beyonwiz account just to make sure I was using the right one. Below is...

tb123

So I've managed to get it working however I couldn't use the same "beyonwiz" user account on my NAS that I was previously. I tried setting the minimum SMB level to SMB2 and max at SMB3 but no change, logged out, changed password, rescanned etc but could not get it to expand the mount. I tr...

tb123

I'll try a few combinations of that when I get home, I can manage the NAS remotely but not the T4. I should add that when I browse to Media > Location I CAN see the NAS as a DLNA/upnp device and play media from it, however all the time and dates are wrong so would like to get it set up as a normal s...
