I can report success! Yes, in your situation Christian where duplicates can appear and bugger things up, I would disable the Dynamic Channel Management immediately. I went to Setup -> Misc -> PVR -> Dynamic Channel Management -> Disable. Now it's more stable and don't suddenly get changes to channel...

I think I am getting progress You must delete ALL channels on a particular bad broadcast, not just a couple of them, or else all the EPG won't be right. I was deleting all the channels that I didn't want, and the two that had less than perfect signal strength - and I think this was the start of my p...

Thanks for your help everyone, but... The same advice that I gave ChristianWickham. Identify the broadcast channels you want, do a Clear All Scanned Services, then do a partial scan (or scans) to only scan the broadcast channels you actually want, without duplicates. A Factory Reset should not be ne...

I have deleted all the duplicated channels (getting rid of the lower signal strength ones), by pressing the List button and then deleting the invalid channels. I have also completely deleted every instance of Channel One. But still, I get exactly the same symptoms. Still, Channel One gets recorded w...

It's been nearly 2 years since I last made a post here! The reson for that is that I have been very happy with my Beyonwiz DP-S1 for a while, everything had worked perfectly - up until firmware version 261. I had always performed the firmware upgrades by just running the firmware process and then re...

A few more bugs I have found with firmware 01.05.192 (March 2008) I live in Adealide. If I set the time to Automatic and "SA", the time offset is set to +10 and this is wrong (Adelaide is +9:30). The only way to change this is set the time to Manual and set the time offset to +9:30 If I se...

I get a problem with the December 2007 firmware. After playing a network file, there is no output from the digital/optical sound output of the Beyonwiz DP-S1, and my amp then goes to the next source, which for me is Foxtel. So, after playing a network movie, pressing stop results in the file player ...

Thanks! That fixed it! I assumed that the "time offset" was a once-off setting for the timezone like every other device that I have used that has this sort of setting. So, every time the clocks are changed, I need to change this offset? That is counter-intuitive and completely different to...

I am so frustrated. I use my DP-S1 to record every TV program that I like to watch, and rarely watch TV live, often watching a recording of a program whilst it is still being recorded, skipping the ads. I have now missed almost every show on Monday night. When the clocks changed at the weekend, ever...

I'm in Adelaide and I get 5.1 in a few shows that I have noticed; Sea Patrol Australian Idol Heroes The Channel 9 High Definition demo loop, midday until 4ish Nine Morning "Today" show (for some reason, not 5.1, just 5 channels (no subwoofer)) A current Affair (for some reason, not 5.1, ju...

Despite the other posts (including my own!) with requests for changes and features, both new capabilites, and the activation or enabling of the features and abilities that are advertised and written on the box, here are a few more from me. -> Consistency with buttons. When playing a recorded TV prog...

Cars themselves can have bad names too, particularly when in different languages; In Europe, the Opel Nova could not be sold in Spain with that name - because in Spanish, No va means "no go". Also, the Toyota MR2 cannot be sold in France, because when pronounced in a French accent - "...

Sorry about the double post, but the problem I have is not with IceTV, but relates to the IceTV provided service. I used to have Foxtel IQ and Windows Media Center (with IceTV). Both of them would update themselves if a series had a single showing that had a different time - such as a one hour speci...

Even better would be a red dot after the name, a la Windows Media Centre. I reckon that's the ultimate, I find the highlights are an interruption to the eye as you quickly scan over the EPG. I disagree. Adding a red dot will consume at least 2 characters of the program/show name, which can be a pro...

I had a problem with a Sony DVD player that also could not read DVDs after a while. I was tempted to throw it out, as it could not recognise any type of disk. It turned out that it needed a clean - the CD head cleaner that I used had a couple of brushes in the CD surface, and after playing it in the...

Is the motion smooth?? I had some probs with NTSC?? Yes, seems crystal clear and no jitters or artifacts, even on fast moving action. I must revise that. My wife pointed out that she could see jerky movement when the picture pans, and now I can notice it all the time. Yes, motion is jerky and not s...

Hi Aaron, Do you mean 2ch, 5.1ch or passthrough? I have tried 2ch and 5.1ch but no luck I do not know what passthrough is for 2ch and 5.1ch refer to the downmix options for the analogue outputs. Passthrough is used to send the digital signal directly out without modification. That is how you get DD...

Why would it? We live in a PAL country. Other NTSC modes are on the cycle of modes that you get by pressing the "TV-OUT" button on the remote. On my firmware 01.03.077 (13 July) here are the modes from the remote; SD PAL 576i SD NTSC 480i HD PAL 720p HD NTSC 720p HDMI PAL 1080i HDMI NTSC ...

What do we call it? Topfields are called Toppy, Windows Media Center Edition is called MCE - what about Beyonwiz?

Peteru has hit the nail on the head - it's an older model TV. But, I did follow the other advice and found that the TV does show the image when it is set to be 1080i in NTSC, with crystal clear quality, going through my amp. It's frustrating that that particular mode is not on the sequence through t...

I get the green/blue light appear on the BWz (above the green X of speakers) that denotes Dolby sound - but only on HD channel broadcasts in Adelaide. It also shows up in the "Now and Next" information bar. But, my Yamaha amp shows only stereo (left and right), but Dolby ProLogic II and PC...

Found the problem. Even though the BWz said that the wireless network connection was working, showed a 54Mbps connection and could be pinged, the wireless network was not communicating out. I made a very long ethernet cable and plugged it between the BWz and the wireless router's switch ports, chang...

Dear Christian - I was interested in your post because I have a Panasonic CRT which I've had issues with getting it to work in HD mode. Are you absolutely certain your TV supports 1080i? I just did a quick search with google and the only specs I could find were in a german product sheet and I could...

I have upgraded to the latest firmware (13 July 2007) and then it downloaded the EPG and so far it has kept the guide data.
I have not yet powered off the system, but I will do that tonight and if the new firmware does not help, I will post again.

Thanks for all your help, but I will make a new post in the networking forum as suggested. But, in direct response to the recommendations from people; Snappahead - Thanks for your advice, but it's not the share permissions as I can't see the computers, so it's not a access permission issue. All othe...

Here's my wishlist for new features from Beyonwiz, apart from enabling the advertised features of PIP, network access from other devices etc. I used to have Foxtel IQ (Sky +) on cable. Now I have moved house and can't get cable, so miss some of these features..: -> Bookmarks. When watching a recordi...

Yes it does matter, because the website on the box and in the manual is www.beyonwiz.com.AU and the link to "download" on this site results in "available soon..." for the firmware. I had no idea that there was another site at www.beyonwiz.com and as it looks identical, I could no...

Will Beyonwiz make the download appear on http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/download.asp and not just on http://www.beyonwiz.com/support/download.php ?

I also have a Yamaha amp (HTR-6030) with digital optical output form the Beyonwiz, again with no problems switching from DVD to recordings or live TV, even when the DVD is DTS or Dolby Digital (I tried with Gladiator). I also tried Coax and found that it was seamless with that too. Maybe your invest...

I have just bought a new DP-S1 and have had a few issues (see other posts!) and queries. This one is a bit strange, and is probably my TV. I have a Philips Matchline (36PW9527) Hi Def TV, and the manual states; Note: This television is designed to accept high definition signal standards 1080i and 48...

Here's my home setup; I have a new Beyonwiz DP-S1 with a wireless connection. I also have a Windows Server 2003 Small Business R2 with 1.7Tb of movies, music, photos and lots of other shares, the movies and music shares are set to allow everyone access. I have a few other XP computers and Vista lapt...

I bought my Beyonwiz DP-S1 yesterday (Good Guys, Pooraka, Adelaide - $1350) to replace a Windows Media Center PC with a DVICO Fusion Dual HD Tuner as it kept on jumping and stuttering (most often during the action or most important part of the program). It also took 9 seconds to change channel/servi...
