Ah, thanks so much for that info. I didn't know the BR-02 could be configured to operate an S1. Great stuff.

EDIT: Dang, these are also out of stock.

Yeah, I know they're advertised but they're also out of stock.

Jammer

Unfortunately, it seems neither of these remotes are available anymore. I emailed Beyonwiz to see if they might have one lying around but haven't yet received a reply.

Jammer

Hi all A long time since I've posted here. My 2 x DP-S1 remotes both died in the past week and whilst I found an old AP-U1 remote in a cupboard, I really need another working remote for one of my DP-S1 devices. I have no idea why both remotes suddenly died, and in the same week, no less. Does anyone...

Absolutely 100% agree.

Jammer

I'm another who feels that the product is either dead or almost dead at this point. However, I've got 2 x S1s that are still perfect for my needs (thanks largely to Mark :D and his expertise) and I think the forum is a great resource. It's a shame that Beyonwiz doesn't seem to have really "gone...

Keep sending it back to Mark!!

WooHoo....All Fixed!!............... Warkus is a magician! Seems my PSU was pretty much fried, problems on both sides of the board. Not only the 0000 Error code but no power to the HDD. Sent it over to WA from Newcastle NSW for Mark to check it over.....fixed! From broken to new in less than a week...

Jammer

I still use my S1 as a PVR and basic media player but have supplemented it with a jailbroken Apple TV 2. The aTV 2 is a fantastic bit of gear for media playback and internet streaming when jailbroken and running XMBC.

Jammer

I've had a couple of timers not fire over the past couple of days. Pretty annoying when I opened the Folders menu expecting to watch something and it's not there. I was out at the time and checked the ICETV app on my iPhone to double-check that a timer was supposed to have been set (yep, all good) a...

Jammer

Brian, just as others have experienced, I've had the exact same thing happen with my S1 and it was the power supply slowly dying. I didn't want to stuff around with fixing it myself and sent it to Mark (Warkus). There also ended up being a secondary problem with my mainboard that was related to the ...

Jammer

So far, the NP202WN solution has been excellent and although the throughput is significantly less than the max. possible (70-80mbps opposed to 200mbps), Hi Jammer, how have you measured the 70-80mbit/sec? Is that using the Netcomm utility that tells you the speed, or have you actually measured the ...

Jammer

It's funny that this topic has come up: just the other day I purchased 2 x Netcomm NP202WN Powerline adapters precisely for this purpose and am quite happy with the results. My server and S1 are quite far away from each other in my house (2 story) and I've always had issues with the S1 wireless link...

Jammer

Thanks for the heads-up with this. Got 804 days left now.....

Jammer

Well, yet another incredibly satisfied client here. I've had some issues with my PSU for a while now but only recently got around to send it to Mark for repair. Very fast turnaround, excellent communication and - fingers crossed - a totally successful repair. I'd pretty much resigned myself to havin...

Jammer

I've completely kept out of the past sparring between SomebodyElse and others here on the forum but all I can say is that if he is now defending BeyonWiz, then the product must be doing ok! :D I've had my fair share of complaints about my DP-S1 compared to my old Toppy 5000 (running TAPS, which make...

Jammer

Thanks for the info Ian. Do all of the symptoms sound like the power supply is the issue? Even the audio?

Jammer

Hi all. I had to replace a dead HDD a few months ago in my S1 but recently my display starting to dim (it's now quite hard to see) and as of tonight, my audio is crackling for both live TV and recordings. So I guess I now have to ask the question: is there a consensus that my S1 is dying a slow and ...

Jammer

Netmask, just wanted to thank you for this info. I've previously tried using subtitles on the Wiz but it didn't work and so I figured that the Wiz didn't handle them......now I know that the filenames of the avi and subs have to be identical in order to work!

Jammer

Yep, I'm still using my Toppy regularly too. In fact, I have to say that it gets more recording use than my BW S1.....though I use the S1 almost daily for media playback and HD viewing.

Jammer

I've read of a couple of these instances before but haven't experienced it myself. However, I think the punter's use of "Way too often" sounds a little bit exaggerated to me.

Jammer

Once the unit has been opened try connecting the hard disk drive to an external power supply. (A spare power connector in a PC is good for this test.) If it spins up correctly then you have a failed power supply. If it plays a fresh game of Ker Plunk (;)) then the odds are that the hard disk has di...

Jammer

Thanks Tony. What am I looking for when checking the HDD power lines?

Jammer

Hi all. My S1 had been working perfectly until the other day. It hadn't been rebooted in quite a while so I switched off and then powered back on. As soon as it was powered on, I heard a constant "ker-klunk ker-klunk" etc from what I assumed was the HDD which stopped for several seconds wh...

Jammer

Hi guys, For some reason I have ended up with a recording on S1 of 0Kb / 0 seconds & I can not delete it, move it, rename it or anything! How do I get rid of it? Cheers Gregster I have exactly the same problem and apart from a HDD format (which I can't do right now), I've tried everything I can...

Sitting back with asbestos suit on. Good grief, surely there is some discipline that can come to bear here. If you delete a recording without asking others in the household, surely that is breach of your own internal code of behaviour. Sometimes - especially with active or large families - it's not...

Perhaps a signature requirement of equipment/config etc for a member profile be introduced for when new members sign up?

I'm with you dude....it's bloody ridiculous.

Jammer

Great suggestion Peter. I was recently thinking the same thing (about sync correction) when I was watching an avi and the sync was terrible. A definite "second that" from me.

Jammer

Nigel, I might have experienced this also but if I have, it would've been on a late night show and I can't guarantee that it wasn't simply the network running overtime etc. There have been a number of times that I've recorded Scrubs and the end has been missing, but my post padding should have well ...

Jammer

I agree that it'd be extremely nice to be able to press a button in the EPG and have a list of movies or sports appear. You can do this using the JustEPG tap on the Topfield and it makes a BIG difference being able to filter just movies or sport, and then just press the Record button for the desired...

Jammer

I'm not a huge fan of the BW remote. I much prefer the classic Toppy 5000 remote as I don't even have to look at the buttons when using it due to its ergonomic and logical design. But I certainly wouldn't call the BW remote "daunting"!

Jammer

I'm also completely in favour of a JE-style EPG. It's funny to hear about a couple of wives of forum members sticking with the Toppy 5000 due to things like JustEPG.....my wife is exactly the same. She avoids using the BW unless she wants to watch a streamed avi over our home network....for everythi...

Jammer

Good post Swordfish805. Nicely balanced.

Jammer

Guys, I'm a long-time BW (and Topfield) user and have been quite critical at times towards my S1 and BW company processes. However, on the flip-side, I know that Beyonwiz ARE trying to address issues in the best way they can, based on company priorities and available resources. Am I 100% happy with ...

I think the beta testers are copping too much flak, and I don't believe that is the problem anyway. Yes, it would seem the DVD folder/ISO playback is not very good, and there's one solution to that - take it out! It wasn't part of the spec and would've been nice, but it was a bonus. I definitely th...

Jammer

Personally, I'm really tired of jumping online to check this forum and then having to read - sometimes pages of - whinging and generally non-productive posts. I know there are still problems and they frustrate the heck out of me too! But overall, I'm happy that my S1 is (albeit slowly) becoming a mu...

sorry to rain on your parade, surley this is available on your PC? How about we agitate to get the problems with the firmware fixed before we load it up further! You've never been sitting down watching TV and heard some thunder in the distance? Would be handy to just be able to hit WizTV and check ...

Jammer

You didn't have the problem before updating the firmware? My situation occurred sometime ago but I do remember that it happened around the same time as a firmware upgrade. I'm not saying that the firmware upgrade was definitely a factor but who knows, the upgrade combined with funny HDMI connectors...

Jammer

I used to have problems where the HDMI would just drop out and I'd have to stuff around with rebooting, playing around with cables etc. I fixed it completely by reversing the cable. For some reason, certain devices are really finicky about HDMI connectors.

Jammer

You've probably already checked this but have you double-checked that the gateway IP is correct? I've had a couple of occasions where this has reset itself for some unknown reason to 192.168.0.1 and I hadn't noticed that the 3rd group was 0 and not the usual default of 1 i.e. 192.168.1.1

Jammer

Maybe the gold coast data is dodgy? That's what I'm wondering too. I agree that too many people use the same box/data/firmware combination for the problem to be general in nature. I definitely think that something might be up with Gold Coast data.....or both my BW and Toppy are suffering from the s...
