Thanks everyone - All sorted now

Good idea MrQuade - I may give SD a try for time shift.

Do you have any idea on the size of the time shift buffer?

Thanks Netless

Hmm prl - I think you have put your finger on the problem. Since I did not bother with a HDD, I simply mounted my NAS to handle V2 recordings & the T4 so I could watch T4 recordings remotely on the V2. I did not think about time shift, as I never use it, and yes it was enabled, pointing to a non...

Hi prl

No timers - I record stuff on the T4.

The V2 is simply acting as a TV tuner for my TV.

The only button presses are to return from standby or change channels.

I have relatively new V2 [purchased June 8, 2021] as a backup to my recently repaired T4. While generally working OK, the unit occasionally has long lag times [with spinning icon showing] between channel changes or return from standby. On a couple of occasions the only way to overcome an extended de...

Thanks Paul_oz53 I have already purchased a V2 and also have a T4 that I have recently fixed (dead 3V3 regulator). Don't intend to use the DP-P2, just interested in fixing it for - well I don't know why? At least being older, with many through hole components, it may be useful for harvesting parts. ...

I suspect my old DP-P2 has finally died. No response from the front power button BUT Power supply is OK - 32V on the main board Network is OK - responds to ping HDMI is handshake looks OK - but no signal is being sent - Just mute video "silence" HD is OK - but clearly the OS is not here - ...

Thanks Stevebow I'll keep an eye on the heatsinks / temperature - maybe even fit a couple of 18b20 temperature sensors inside the T4 case to monitor the temperature. I share your concern about the fitting of my new heatsinks, agree that the thermal tape would generally assume contact over the full b...

Following the very useful repair outline from this thread, I have successfully replaced both 3V3 regulators in my T4 and now have all 4 tuners back in action 😁. Only one of the regulators had failed, but I thought I may as well replace them both & upgrade the heatsinks while I had the box open. ...

Thanks prl - Great suggestion.

I have recently bought a V2 to keep me running while I attempt to repair my T4 STB. Out of the box the V2 started up in 1080P resolution, alas beyond the scope of my trusty Panasonic Viera Plasma TV - presenting me with a scrambled screen and unable to change the HDMI resolution ☹. Fortunately I cou...

I too have lost two of my T4 tuners - Otherwise the T4 is running fine. I'm thinking of following stevebow and checking the 3V3 regulators. I notice the stevebow replaced his regulators with 800mA LM1117DT-3.3 regulators. I also notice from petru that each 3V3 regulator services two of the tuners re...

I installed the latest firmware on the T4 - Thanks for pointing me to this Grumpy. I could now the access the mount point Movies from my old DP2 & my wife's laptop - but sadly, still not my desktop. It turns out this that this Samba mounting problem appears on some Windows 10 machines, but not o...

Tried SMB 1.0 enabled / disabled. Makes no difference - except that with it off the picture GUI of both my QNAP NAS & BEYONWIZT4 no longer appear in the file browser GUI. However I can still see and access the NAS mount point, with name & IP, but still not the BEYONWIZT4, either way :-( I gu...

If I enter \\192.168.1.210 into file explorer I get "Windows cannot access \\192.168.1.210" Although this is the internal address of the T2 : I can ping it, ftp to it etc If I enter //192.168.1.210 again into the file explorer, Then I'm simply redirected to the Open Webif page - opened in ...

Thanks for the quick reply Grumpy : Last revision/upgrade is 2017-03-10 04:30 Mr Quade : If I put the IP of the address of the beyonwizT4 : 192.168.1.210 into Chrome [I assume you don't mean to include the <> brackets] I simply get the Beyonwiz Open Webif page. If I enter ftp://beyonwizT4 I bring up...

I'm trying to set up Samba access to my media directory /media/hdd/movies. I can access all of root easily using FTP, but I would like Samba access to the T4 in the hope I can mount it from my old DP2 set top box. I have modified the smb_user.conf file with [Movie] comment = /Movie path = /media/hdd...

Thanks for the responses - I get the picture [no pun intended] - I'll just stick with my external signal strength meter for troubleshooting reception problems.

I recently had some reception issues with the T4 - now sorted - splitter in the roof problem :? However on the way I found difficulty interpreting what was being reported by the T4 - I've searched the forums, but some clearer explanation of the signal quality measures would be appreciated. After my ...
