yeah, I'd be keen to get a refurb T4 or U4 at some stage if one became available too.

bpratt

assuming the same for a U4 as has been said for a T4.

bpratt

Having troubles with my T3, as things started to go wrong with trying to change the IP on it, and then it started to crash. Anyway, after much head scratching I've discovered the flash was full. So I thought I'd just reflash it to 19.3 again, sadly I can't find my download of it, so trying to downlo...

bpratt

ah, so getting hold of a chromecast, streaming Kayo through that, and thence in to the T4/U4 is what I'm sort of thinking.

What about copy protection stuff, or just run the chromecast through a hdmi splitter as I currently do from my iq4 box ?

sorry for my vague answers before.

bpratt

oh you're right, to a projector mostly.

But if I can stream to one, I should then be able to stream it to a tv as well.

bpratt

always helps when you go and check that the ethernet connector is pushed all the way in to click in to place !!!

worked fine this time.

bpratt

Currently a T4, but do have a U4 here too.

bpratt

I'm getting a

Couldn't find picon package name

bpratt

thought I'd add my questions to this thread to keep them together. :) I currently have a iq4 to watch foxsports 506 through my T4 (or U4), but I'm getting tired of the expense of foxtel just to watch/record f1 and the v8's, so was looking at options to dump foxtel altogether. Seems like Kayo Sports ...

no screen of text when it has rebooted itself.

did a HD check, and didn't come up with any issues though.

bpratt

Disappointing for me, and I'm guessing others too, the V2 doesn't have HDMI IN, as the T4 and U4 does. I don't suppose if anyone has any idea if Beyonwiz are going to bring out a new machine with HDMI In available on it ? I guess I should have bought an extra U4/T4 whilst they were still available, ...

bpratt

Over the last week I've noticed my U4 appears to be somewhat laggy. It takes seemingly forever to reboot. regulary the busy wait 'pointer' is spinning around, when it never used to. I've had it suddenly reboot by itself, twice today actually... not gui restarts, but right back to the start. I've jus...

bpratt

Make sure that you point out to your mate that this is not likely to be a standard surface mount component replacement. Extensive PCB cleaning will be required and possibly some track repair too. Thanks for that. He did it the other day, and all 4 tuners are now back.... I remember back a little wh...

bpratt

Thanks Steve, but I was after the original packaging type that's on the T4 motherboard, and was going to order the lot from RS, and then visit my mate who can do the surface mount stuff. I don't suppose anyone has the links on RS for those particular regulators? .. I've got the links for the other o...

bpratt

1 - My temporary solution while I waited for parts to arrive. The 1.2V regulator (LM1085) on the left has a heatsink attached with thermal tape. This seemed more than adequate as the heatsink is only very warm to touch. Trusting in good thermal conductivity of the tape. The 3.3V regulator (LM3940, ...

bpratt

interesting I came across another issue, where I can not manually set the IP address for the T4. when I go to change it, I can only change the third section of the IP address. Set the t4 up for my other remotes here, and none of them allow me to change it. Probably the least of my issues at the mome...

bpratt

Sounds like the regulators driving your tuners are cactus. Or more accurately, the heatsink compound on those regulators is eating it's way through your motherboard. Most T4's have suffered this fate. I'd contact warkus or Beyonwiz to discuss repairs. Oh bugger, the T4 was the only one that worked ...

bpratt

additional info

upgraded to new firmware, no difference.

Can play media off the internal HD fine, audio and video play back fine.

Now I can't even get HDMI-In to work at all pip no longer works for me.

bpratt

Went to use my old T4 today, which is primarily used to watch a HDMI input, and wanted to update the tv guide, so went to each channel, got a picture, but no audio. So I went to do a re-tune, and it came up with zero channels found. looking at signal strengths, it could not display any as you'd expe...

bpratt

I know I keep saying it, but if you are running an atypical home network connected to the internet, then you need to be even more vigilant about security. New hardware should have been configured and secured before putting it into service, not (maybe) some time after. It really doesn't take much ti...

bpratt

I can only guess, like prl, that the T4 want visible to the infected machine at the time the infection was active. Maybe prl's suggestion about mounts, or perhaps the T4 was registered on a different master browser at the time. Do you know what computer had the active infection? Or was it possibly ...

bpratt

Are you still running an insecure network arrangement on your home network? You've had malware infections before as a result of using public IPs for your private equipment. Sadly yes. I did have a secure network, but a few months ago had some changes to hardware and didn't get around to securing it...

Are the movie directories on the U4 & T3 mounted on windows machines, and the T3's not mounted on a Windows machine?

I wouldn't have expected that a Windows virus would run on a Linux box (but I may be wrong).

No, not mounted on a windows machine.

My T4/T3/U4 do share to each other.

bpratt

Went to watch some recorded files on my U4 today, only to find there's nothing apparently there before yesterday. Went in to my U4 with winscp and found out all my video .ts files have suddently got a .chekyshka extension on them. Further investigation is that it is a ransonware virus for windows, b...

bpratt

okay, plugged my U4 in to the kogan tonight, and it works.... weird.

maybe a hdmi cable, maybe not..... maybe I didn't scratch my bum the right... who knows.

I'll do some more testing after the racing tomorrow and report more back later.

bpratt

I've search the kogan site, and can't find a firmware update for my particular tv. Don't want to swap the samsung to the HT room, as the Kogan takes forever to start up every day, which would annoy us. Now I just have to win lotto so I can replace my broken projector, then the Kogan can go back to t...

bpratt

Yep, definately a T4.

My U4 has issues with HDMI in, so have to use my T4.

And I couldn't even get the UI up through the kogan directly connected to the T4

bpratt

Is be looking squarely at the Kogan here. Try dropping the output resolution or swapping cables. I'm assuming that your aren't going through any amplifiers first as well. Try another input on the TV too. That's what I was thinking too. Yes, I thought going through amp was the issue, so ran the HDMI...

bpratt

Interesting issue I've come across today. My T4 usually plays through my projector, but my projector failed last night, so thought I'd take my 50 inch Kogan I had in my bedroom as a fill in replacement till I could afford a new projector. Anyway hook it all up via HDMI okay, but only get audio alone...

bpratt

Yep, that's pretty much what I was starting to work out for myself. I'm now using videoredo to do an initial processing, and output it to the end size that I want (usually 720x576), and do the editing on the resultant file. I do 1270x720 the same way if it comes up with that weird resolution issue, ...

bpratt

Any possibility of posting an example file? When the audio goes out of sync is it fixed by a certain time or does it vary over the course of the recording? Has anyone demuxed the TS file into it's audio, video and subtitle components? Then attempted to remux in a video editing program? 15Gb file is...

bpratt

I'm recording in the maximum resolution that I can get across, just in case there's something I want at a higher resolution.... nothing worse that doing a recording in too low a resolution... you can't add that resolution back in to it, where you can drop the resolution later on. :) Just working on ...

bpratt

That's not very helpful of it! Have you tried the trial version of TS-Doctor? Or muxing into a mkv container with MKVToolNix GUI? Or running the file through tsMuxerGUI? (The latter two are free.) Otherwise it's starting to look like as if trying to fix this file, or to edit it with VideoReDo, goes...

bpratt

I would probably try using VideoReDo to: 1. Run quick stream fix on the 352x288 file to see if that restores the resolution to 1280x720 . 2. Save the 352x288 file as an H.264 MP4. The resulting .mp4 might have more [accurate] information for Windows and VideoReDo to work with. Tried both out, and n...

bpratt

It might be interesting to know if the 352x288 file (as reported by VideoReDo) plays with the correct aspect ratio on a PC. Plays in the correct aspect ration under windows media player under Win7 However when the item is selected in Windows Explorer is shows up as 352x288 So windows is seeing it a...

My confusion probably isn't helping me at all, but now I have mediainfo and both .ts file look basically identical.

bpratt

Had you changed the HDMI IN encoding settings in the meantime (various settings in MENU>Setup>TV>HDMI Recording settings)? No, I usually set them and leave them as that.... certainly don't change from from day to day though. Watching the recording straight off the T4, both the recordings display as...

bpratt

I see MediaInfo output.... where do I find that?

I'm assuming I've got the right details in my previous post, but if it is something else I'm being asked for, I'll like to provide the info.

The original source was my Foxtel Iq3 box, and it was from the same foxtel HD channel but on the next day

bpratt

Thanks Paul, but that didn't fix it.

I've played the same titles on my T4, and the image size is coming up with 1280x720

In windows explorer some are coming up with that, whilst others are coming up as 352x288

All I've done is download them from the T4 to the computer.
Weird.

bpratt

Valid points Peter, and I should have included those details. This is from videoredo This displays correctly Encoding H.264 VideoStreamID xE0 Frame rate 59.94 fps Encoding size 1280 x 720 Aspect ratio 16:9 Header bit rate 14.000 Mbps VBV buffer 256 KBytes Profile Main/3.1 Progressive Progressive Chr...

bpratt

I've started to use videoredo to trim and tidy up recordings I want to keep, but come across something interesting with some of my recordings. When loaded in to videoredo, the image appears to be squashed up in to 4:3 mode, even though other recordings of similar source are showing up as 16:9 in vid...

I tried it out last night, and Tuner B is a real problem... pixelate video and broken up audio.

I wish I had've been told to try this out when the T4 was still under warranty, because this was an issue since day one with it.

bpratt

...But this also happens on HDMI IN too.... twice today this 0:00 recording issue occurred, so it may not be the 'dead tuner' issue. Only on HDMI-IN recordings recently?

Have tuners C & D gone out to lunch? Dead tuners can cause empty recordings. Ah - http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12399&p=165225#p165225 http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=11441&p=157455#p157455 Ah wonderful.... I got my T4 back when they...

I've just noticed an issue on my T4 where a recording is coming up as an empty file. First noticed that a couple of recordings wouldn't play back, and notice the time display was 0:00 for them. Have done a couple of recordings recently using HDMI IN, and the same thing has happened too. Any one else...
