Hi guys,

Today I set up a new V2 and used the USB 3.0 to link a 4tb HDD.

I set timer to record Olympics.

How do I view those recordings?

What are the steps?

When I select media, I do not know where to go from there.

Does the USB connection work in both directions?

USB in and USB out?

johnbrennan

What USB port do I use? The one near the SD Card slot OR the 3.0 USB port? Whichever you prefer. If you also use a USB tuner or WiFi dongle it makes sense to put that in the USB2 port and the HDD in the USB3 port. Hi Peter, Thank you for all the information, and I thank MrQuade too for his sound adv...

It is external, connected via USB. There is no place inside the box to mount a harddisk. The only "internal" storage that can be added to the V2 is via the microSD card slot. I use quotes, since the microSD card is of course removable without needing to open the case. So basically what yo...

If you start off at a point where the Lite is showing the correct time, does it suddenly jump off time by an hour, or does it steadily drift off the correct time? Hi Peter, In the last 2 months the time issue only happened ONCE, and that was it jumped by about 40 mins. It was NOT exactly ONE HOUR. ...

I just ordered a NEW Beyonwiz V2 PVR Media Box with a Wifi USB Antenna, that should arrive in the next day or two.

Given that the ODMs that built DP-series, T-series and U-series have gone out of business, could this be the end of Beyonwiz PVRs? Will we ever know the stock levels of the current Beyonwiz V2? My situation is that at the moment I do NOT need to upgrade but I feel as though I should, sooner rather t...

If you start off at a point where the Lite is showing the correct time, does it suddenly jump off time by an hour, or does it steadily drift off the correct time? Hi Peter, Thank you for the question. The simple answer is, I do not know. Every night, I turn the TV ON for 2 hours, between 7.30 pm an...

Given you always leave the DP-Lite on live TV, perhaps your last viewed/recorded broadcaster (Seven for the cricket) is sending bum time signals on occasion.

I suspect that this could be the case.

johnbrennan

Does the clock suddenly jump by an hour (or is wrong by an hour when started from standby or from powered down), or does it steadily get further away from the right time? If the latter, it's likely to be a problem with the clock crystal. Peter, the DP-Lite is ALWAYS ON. It is NEVER in Standby.

Peter, I have never checked to see if there was a DATE CHANGE, but will check next time it occurs.

When it happens again, I will let you know if it is exactly one hour.

johnbrennan

This is what I meant by the terms: STANDBY MODE: Fully running (DP-Lite is ALWAYS ON .) but it is NOT recording anything. RECORD MODE: Fully running (DP-Lite is ALWAYS ON .) but it IS recording something. ... To explain in very basic terms. On the DP series, except for being switched OFF at the pow...

You might find that once the V2 sells out, it may become difficult to get a decent PVR.

When do you anticipate that this may happen?

I am NOT adverse to upgrading to a V2, but while the DP-Lite is operational, I have no need to upgrade.

Is Beyonwiz going to discontinue the line?

johnbrennan

I think that there may well be some terminology issues impeding understanding here. I have no idea what RECORD MODE might be, other than "fully running and happening to be recording". My apologies, Peter for the misunderstanding. This is what I meant by the terms: STANDBY MODE: Fully runn...

Given you always leave the DP-Lite on live TV, perhaps your last viewed/recorded broadcaster (Seven for the cricket) is sending bum time signals on occasion. I suspect that this could be the case. Overnight, I usually set LIVE TV to one of three broadcasters, the ABC, Channel 7 or SBS. These last f...

johnbrennan

If the clock is out by 1 hour at 19:30 (reading 18:30), then that's quite a fast drift given it'd had a prior startup for a recording at 13:00 (I'm guessing a shut down at around 14:30). What I do Geoff, is this: At the end of the night, around 10.00 pm, I tune the DP-Lite to say Channel Seven Mate...

johnbrennan

The frequency of the issue would depend on how often the DP-Lite is started/how long a period it generally spends in standby (leading to how much clock drift there may be). Geoff, In reply to your post about the duration in STANDBY MODE would be this. The DP-Lite is always on, either in STANDBY MOD...

johnbrennan

Is this still happenning after Mark/warkus did the repair? Yes, it it is still happening after Mark/warkus repair. When I got the DP-Lite (2010 Model) back from Mark on Thursday evening, everything was fine and the clock showed the correct time. I set the timer to record the ABC News at 7.00 pm . I...

johnbrennan

In Perth, Western Australia our time zone is 8 hours east of GMT. From the EPG I have set the timer to record the ABC News at 7.00 pm. I would generally switch on the Beyonwiz DP-Lite at 7.30 pm to watch the recorded ABC News at 7.00 pm. More frequently now, when I do this I see that it has not reco...

Thanks Peter,

That's good to know. Mark Vasile said something similar, so now I have its verification from two sources.

NEW is not necessarily BETTER.

johnbrennan

Thanks Paul ,

I did what you said and it all works fine.

Forum member warkus , also known as Mark Vasile at Decisive Computer Solutions did a wonderful job of fixing my unit.

Thank you for connecting me to him.

I am curious to find out how you would rename a URL on this site.

Instead of writing memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=184

How do I change that to MrQuade, so that it displays as MrQuade?

johnbrennan

Decided NOT to purchase a Beyonwiz V2 at the moment,

Warkus, Mark Vasile at Decisive Computer Solutions repaired my existing Beyonwiz DP-Lite.

Thanks MrQuade memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=184 for your help.

johnbrennan

Mark Vasile at Decisive Computer Solutions http://www.decisivecomputersolutions.c ... ntact.html repaired my Beyonwiz DP-Lite today. Thank you Mark.

My Beyonwiz DP-Lite is now working perfectly.

Thank you to all members who contributed to this Topic.

johnbrennan

Dear MrQuade,

Thank you for your detailed response. I shall take all on board.

johnbrennan

Hi there, My current Beyonwiz DP-Lite does not have an internet connection option. I am in two minds as to whether I should purchase a WiFi USB Antenna (Wireless N 600Mbps) U4 when I purchase my Beyonwiz V2 to give me internet connection. I already have internet connection on my PC and Laptop and am...

Hi John,

Normally you don't need to do a thing - it just happens automatically in the background.

Great, thanks Paul

johnbrennan

You can set the preferred tuner for live TV in MENU>Setup>Tuners>Tuner allocation>Preferred tuner. But if, for some reason, that tuner is being used to record from a different broadcaster than the one you want to watch, the firmware will feel free to allocate any other free tuner. In general, there...

johnbrennan

I am interested to find out how to switch between the two tuners in a Quad Tuner V2 PVR? The Intergrated Dual Tuner is standard and is pretty straight forward, but what happens when an additional USB Dual Tuner is configured using the RF Loop Out and the USB 2.0 Port? With the USB Dual Tuner in plac...

Thanks Gully,

My Beyonwiz DP-Lite is now with Mark Vasile at DCS.

Kind Regards
John Brennan

johnbrennan

Thanks Paul and Gully, Just this moment off the phone with Mark. I shall drop the unit off at DCS today. Mark suggests that it is the Power Supply and NOT the Motherboard. Either way, he will take a look at it. I do, however, wish to thank both of you, not only for your quick response and concern bu...

johnbrennan

Thanks Gully. I do not know the model off hand, but I shall check the model once I pick it up from the technician. He advised me today about the motherboard.

Its pronounced Beyonce at my place

Yes, we called it Beyonce as well. Now we call it its correct name, but it took 5 years to change.

johnbrennan

Is it possible to recover recordings once the motherboard dies? I have an old model.
