Same fix I used

PeteRyde

MattR, the latest firmware improved the DVD operation significantly but it is not fixed. Most DVDs will play but a good portion will not. Also sometimes if they play they may have a few minor glitches. Unfortunately you dont know which wont play until you take the DVD home from the video store and t...

Me too

Happy happy joy joy ...

I also would like to see recent movie releases on DVD/BR. Maybe the most popular 20 last month, this month and then the "big" ones out next month.

PeteRyde

PeteRyde, are you certain about the sort order being on time on the USB drive ? The sort order control on the internal HDD and the USB drive are independent of each other. If the internal HDD sort order is, say, Time DESC, that doesn't mean that the sort order on the USB HDD is Time DESC. I have ab...

PeteRyde

Also can you and PeteRyde test this with native files on the internal hard drive? Unfortunately I only have a couple of files left on the internal drive which were recorded over the last couple of days. So I cant really check if it worked correctly on the internal drive. I was too efficient getting...

PeteRyde

Ok, connected up the USB drive to my PC and the following is the date modified time on each of the file folders within the my CSI folder on the USB drive. 01/12/08 08:27pm (61min) CSI - 13 Dec 08 01/06/08 08:27pm (88min) CSI - 5 June 08 03/11/08 08:27pm (60min) CSI - 14 Nov 08 06/07/08 08:27pm (88mi...

I am sorting by TIME. Sorry, I should have stated that up front. All the program files in the folder I am sorting are CSI. My expectation was that the files would be listed chronologically in the order they were recorded. I think it's because the Wiz sorts by time modified, not time created. Can yo...

PeteRyde

I have a lot of CSI program files I copied from the internal HDD to an external 500GB USB drive within a folder called CSI. They are all wiz recordings. (One day I'll actually watch them.) When I use ascending sort on the contents of the CSI folder on the external drive I get the following: 01/12/0...

PeteRyde

I am a little disappointed with the program file sorting enhancement by time. I thought it would sort the program files chronologically. However, it seems to only sort using the day of the month and the time. It does not look at the month or the year it was recorded. Is this how it was meant to wor...

Is this how it was meant to work?

I am also having the exact problem on my S1 on the 261 firmware. It just started late last night. I wish I looked at the forums a bit earlier. I already reformatted the hard drive and all the usual fault finding. In the end I can confirm too that if you disable ICE it works fine. So the problem is d...

PeteRyde

Just noticed this thread too. I also have a USB Lacie 500GB drive (Black Neil Poulton with blue light underneath). I have had it for a couple of months. The only way my S1 can see it is if it is connected and powered up before the S1 boots. No matter what I try, it will never be recognised if I plug...

PeteRyde

I had the exact same issue a month ago on my S1. I took it into Digital Products Group and they fixed it while I waited. They had to replace a capacitor I think. Anyway, time has been perfect ever since. When I first reported it to them, they had another S1 with the same issue being fixed there too....

PeteRyde

Does anyone have any feedback on the new Beyonwiz 6in1 Universal Remote? It seems VERY expensive for what it is or am I missing something? I see they are giving them away with new BWs sold in December. Perhaps BW could consider a half price offer to existing users for being early adopters and puttin...

PeteRyde

I also suspected the broadcaster. Usually it is spot on but as mentioned, occasionally it is out by about 20 min. Hopefully it will continue to be infrequent. If it continues to happen then I think I will also try the manual time setting.

Pete

PeteRyde

I have noticed on two occasions over the last 3 weeks that the time on my S1 has been slow by about 20 minutes. Because it is 20 minutes it is not a timezone offset problem. I am still using the 1.3.84 firmware and am using AUTO time. Obviously this causes a problem with timers not starting at the r...

PeteRyde

Thanks Dave. Yes, I do leave the S1 in the file menu as I still have the older firmware release. It does not give you any other option. Perhaps it is resolved in a later firmware. The problem only occurs if I turn the TV off. If I leave the TV on but use another input, the problem does not occur. Th...

PeteRyde

I was wondering if anyone else had seen something similar on the 1.3.84 S1 software. (Not game to upgrade to the latest SW just yet :) ) I have an S1 with a Sony Bravia TV connected via HDMI. An external WD MyBook 500G drive is connected via USB. I am still using the old 1.3.84 software on the S1. F...

PeteRyde

My remote is glossy black where the buttons are with the exception of the insert where the centre arrow buttons are located. This is matt black. It is likely that they changed the whole thing to matt as the screen printing did not work properly on the gloss. Now that I look at it, there is very litt...

PeteRyde

Anyone else have the "Beyonwiz" screen printing on the bottom of the remote control rub off?
I hope the buttons dont have the same fate. I'm not good at those memory games.

PeteRyde

I see the "small updates more often" approach was short lived. Always happy for new features but such major new functionality each release must make it a challenge to test. Hopefully stability and reliability continue to rate high in the requirements. I have to say that BW seem to have a g...

PeteRyde

I hope all you Beta testers get the opportunity to give the upcoming firmware a really good work out before it is released. Perhaps a little harder than the previous one

Pete

PeteRyde

I also have this problem. Whenever I tell the BW to rotate a photo from landscape to portrait, it comes up with the error message. I dont have the latest firmware yet but it has done this for the previous two releases.

While trying to find out who sells VideoRedo, I noticed that the same company (Hyperreality) was clearing out their icetv prepaid stock. It is a little cheaper than on the icetv site ($20 for 90 days). It worked fine but just note that you cant redeem the extra bonus 30 days they talk about. Regards...

PeteRyde

Philip, I have the same setup as you. It would be great to be able to select the audio for HDMI and S/PDIF separately.

Pete.

PeteRyde

Not only did they mess up the sound at the start, they screened the wrong episode anyway.

Pete.

PeteRyde

Thanks for the ideas. seems like I need to spend some time trying out different configurations and your suggestions when I get more time on the weekend. I put a loaned laptop next the BW and streamed the same video files from the desktop PC to it over my WLAN to see if it would experienced the same ...

PeteRyde

Unfortunately a bit of a logistical nightmare to try wired connections. It would also not be how I would use it normally. I was hoping someone may have tried using WLAN on both connections so I can judge if it is something I am doing wrong or not. I'll see if I can work out a way to at least try rem...

PeteRyde

I have not been able to play video files streamed from my PC. Unfortunately I only have a WLAN in my home so the PC is also connected wirelessly to the router. I have not had any issues with the S1 BW finding the files on my PC and it always reports the connection speed as 54MB/s to the router. I ha...

PeteRyde

Anyone know what is happening with the next planned firmware release? One of the threads had that it was planned for beta testing at the end of last week and then another had it delayed to add some wishlist items. Are beta testers testing yet?

Pete

PeteRyde

You have to tap it twice to turn it off. It works fine on my S1.

Pete.

PeteRyde

I asked IceTV if they could include an indicator on the BW EPG to denote if an episode is a repeat. I was hoping it could be inserted in the episode description. However, Daniel advised that: The repeat information is available in the feed that is supplied to the Beyonwiz, at this stage though it do...

PeteRyde

Now that I have the 7 day ICE guide on the BW, it makes me appreciate an EPG feature on a my el-cheapo Humax STB. It has a simple search function. You type in a group of letters and it lists the shows that match. This would be great for finding where Ch 10 have moved one of the shows that didnt rate...

PeteRyde

I have been setting up my new BW this week and everything is pretty much as I expected. :) I updated to the latest firmware. However, I have a question on the audio settings. What is the purpose of the AC3 Compression Mode (RF Mode or Line Mode) under the A/V Output? The release notes dont really ex...
