Ideally, you should use DHCP.

Even better is to set up your router so that it gives your U4 a fixed IP address via DHCP too.

Doing this will make sure that your U4 registers itself with your router's DNS server, so you can access it easily by name "BeyonwizU4".

The Wiz app is not returning to the store unfortuantely.

Try the Gigablue player.

Sorry, forgot your second question!

Use fake recording.

Because it only happens after EPG-Refresh has run,

How have you configured EPGRefresh?

Do you set it to scan your Favourites bouquet, or do you have it set to scan your Terrestrial bouquet?

Do you have it set to use "fake recording" mode instead of "zap" mode?

MrQuade

One more observation is that the EPG can be shown in either SD or HD. The SD version is so small it's very difficult to read. I have seen the EPG display in SD and when I press a button, I get the notified of a problem followed immediately by the Spikey wheel for a few seconds. The EPG showing in S...

MrQuade

You didn't ask a question.......

MrQuade

My previous post mentions that it's been turned off. The fact remains that the problem that you showed on those screenshots is definitely related to overscan. It sounds as if setting the TV's Overscan setting to "off" isn't doing what it should. Its possible the setting is inverted (off m...

MrQuade

Here are 2 shots of the EPG showing both 4x3 and 16x9. They were taken on my phone because I still can't get OpenWebIf to open I have tried every address suggested even entering the final set of digets as 1,2 etc. Ok, so it is definitely not an aspect ratio problem as you have thought it might be. ...

MrQuade

I have seen the picture display this way ever when viewing the EPG or timer list. There are settings on TV which I change to alter display ratios. I have even seen this change when watching a recording but never when on live TV. Are you trying to say that the edges of the EPG and timer list are cut...

I have a never used Harmony 650,does anybody know if this can be programmed to control the V2.

It certainly can. All the Beyonwiz PVR models are in the Harmony online database.

MrQuade

QUESTIONS 1 - Will the V2 EPG do all those things by itself? 2 - Can I unsubscribe from IceTV and still do everything I want to do? 3 - What other benefits does IceTV offer that the v2 EPG does not? The V2 has Autotimers that can search the EPG for keywords and set recordings for programs when it f...

MrQuade

That's a bit strange with the lack of interface on start. There should have been a setup wizard like the Beyonwiz default firmware has.

There is a separate part of the forum specifically for OpeanATV discussion that you can use for anything specifically relating to that if you like.

MrQuade

, but put it at the end of the list of fixes incase it bricked the box. If it all turns pear shaped is the roll back just flash with the original beyonwiz firmware? Yep, you can just roll back at any time. The bootloader and UI is significantly different on OpenATV, but you should have no trouble a...

MrQuade

Can't help with getting the Kodi plugin for the Beyonwiz firmware, but you may want to consider installing the OpenATV firmware instead.
It is much more up to date, and includes a more modern version of Kodi too.

Is that a trevor or an intentional reference to their firmware bloatware / advertising?

Wordplay on a first time poster asking nonsensical questions

MrQuade

I think it is manufactured by Spamsung.

MrQuade

That appears to be asking what to back up. Do i need worry about this? All I really need to back up are my timers and auto timers and probably some system stuff I cant think of at the moment. does it have like a default setting of what to back up? Once again thank you for help and by the way backup...

MrQuade

I assume that the SSD is already set up as a functioning HDD, and your recordings and timeshifting is working as expected. You'll want to make sure that the new SSD is configured as the default backup location. From a live TV view, press: MENU->Setup->Plugins->Plugin browser Scroll down to the plugi...

MrQuade

It looks like it is trying to backup your settings to a USB device, and that USB device is either full or otherwise write-protected.

Have you changed the default backup location away from the U4's internal HDD?

MrQuade

You are going to have to post an image before anyone can guess at what you are trying to describe.

MrQuade

I finally have got the EPA column width correct thank you. The other problem getting the favourites opening the EPA still isn't working despite rebooting a couple of times. There is another setting which should also be disabled (and is by default). EPG->MENU->Show bouquet on launch And for good mea...

MrQuade

I went to MENU->Setup->TV->Channel selection->Always show bouquets Set to "off" and did this but still didn't work. There must be something else that I'm missing. You may need to restart for that setting to fully take effect. As for the EGP layout from my screen you can see I'm not using ...

MrQuade

The Left hand side is only for channel names and numbers I'm finding that my left hand side is only about 40% or less filled with my channel choice of favourites. If this could be made larger the right hand side would not look so crowded. Which EPG style are you using. I was assuming you were using...

MrQuade

I still can't the EGP to give me my list of favourites and I have to choose one out of 3 everything. I did have this working long ago so I know that it's possible. Do you mean, that when you press EPG, it brings up the bouquet list instead of simply displaying your EPG? If so then: MENU->Setup->TV-...

MrQuade

If you hold it in when booting, it will load into the firmware update mode.
It's just a second method for accessing firmware updates in addition to the front button.

A paperclip or anything similarly slim will work.

MrQuade

The closes equivalent to the Harmony Ultimate/Elite range are the offerings from Sofabaton. https://www.sofabaton.com/index.html They also have a cheaper hubless offering too. They list "Beyonwiz" as supported, but I can't comment on how good the support is, or if all models are supported,...

MrQuade

If you have the U4 remote, then you may have put it into "Volume Lock" mode.

Check chapter 7 of the U4 user manual for details.

happy to check out other apps for my IOS device that would do the same thing.

You can just use the T2's web interface to remotely manage timers and recordings.

i was recently trying to install the plugin, IceTV, which i did use previously. However the IceTV plugin was not in my list of installed plugins - dont know why. I received the errors when i tried to locate and reinstall the IceTV plugin. obviously, i was unable to install the plugin because the Up...

OpenWebIf is the web interface.

You access that though your device's web browser.

i was looking to reinstall the OS, not just a firmware update.

The firmware is the OS. It all resides on the T2's flash memory.

MrQuade

Most of us can see when a new post has been made in any of the forum areas, so it should be answered no matter where you post the question. I don't think WizOS is available on the play store any more, but you can probably still install it from an .apk if you have one or can find one. The alternative...

MrQuade

I don't know what you are asking here. Is the mention of the Harmony remote significant to the question? Not sure why you mentioned that. The Firestick is a media streaming device which outputs an HDMI signal. The V2 doesn't have a HDMI input for recording from a HDMI source device, so you can't use...

MrQuade

A marginal Ethernet port (silently soft failing) might have been a cause for your spurious one-of-a-kind results with 19.3.

Could be worth trying it again.

MrQuade

Are you properly unmounting the USB-connected HDD before unplugging.
Yanking it out without unmounting is not going to do it any good.

MrQuade

If you turn them on, then that setting will be remembered for that particular service any time you re-visit it.
It will also automatically turn on subtitles for any recordings you make from that point on as well.

MrQuade

MrQuade, your suggestion about remote codes sounds as it it might be the answer. Please can you advise me what each of these values, that the T2 offers me, might be my best chance of having the T2 reject the V2 codes: It does depend on which type of remote you are using for your T2. But I would sta...

MrQuade

Here is a whacky theory. Are the two Wiz units in the same location? If so, I suspect that the T2 is set to respond to all remote control code sets, and when you set a timer on the V2, the T2 is following the same keystrokes and setting its own timer for whatever show it happened to be pointing to o...

I just followed MrQuade's advice. But I would agree with your supposition!

It should be off. If what I said earlier suggested that it should be on, I apologies for the confusion.

MrQuade

Wait what?? Something profoundly strange is happening here. Unfortunately I spoke too soon! With my V2's mount of my T2's movie folder "Use as HDD" setting ON, a recording last night on my V2 was replicated on my T2, thereby causing 2 autotimer recordings on my T2 to fail because I have on...

MrQuade

Thank you for providing the solution to the problem I reported. Was that the "Use as HDD" setting? Given the existence of the setting "setup/tv/recording settings/recording location (both timer and instant)", the "Use as HDD replacement" option should never have existe...

MrQuade

While this does work, allowing me to view and delete T2 recordings from the V2, I experience one totally unexpected and unbelievable and unacceptable side effect: when I initiate a recording on the V2, that recording is duplicated on the T2! When I remove the V2's T2 mount, the shadow duplicate rec...

See this post from Grumpy Geoff. He wrote a little script to add additional SMB shares to more of the potential drive mount locations.

If you do a search for "V2 CEC" in the forum, you will find a number of threads with the same issue you are experiencing. I don't think CEC is all that functional on the V2. Even on the T series it took a backwind and your tongue in the right spot for it to work properly. The V2 uses a rad...

Then set "Number skip method" to "Absolute percentage".

You might want to have a read of this thread.
This discusses some of the changes that were made to the audio features of the T series to improve the downmixing capabilities a while back.

MrQuade

When I select an HD Channel on the V2 EPG, I can confirm the V2 thinks it is producing 5.1 sound output because "Dolby Digital" icon is highlighted on the info bar, and if i press the audio button on the remote control AC3 is shown as the output audio track. Those indications just mean th...

Thinking I need to try find another app to replace PVR Live.

Since you have the Plex server, you can try that.

Though downloading the hrtunerproxy plugin will be a challenge.
You may need to download that manually from another enigma repo.
