What did your motherboard regulators and heartsick look like. Lots of T4's are breaking down recently because of chemical breakdown of the adhesive used on those hot components. Motherboard, or PSU? I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary apart from a layer of dust I would prefer not to be the...

tonymy01

Greetings all! Long time no chat here... My T4 has misbehaved twice in 2 weeks, both times I could tell it had frozen due to the front panel clock stuck on an earlier time of day & it wouldn't come out of standby with the remote (I don't use deep standby so I believe the main software keeps the ...

Good to know he is still in the repairing game, he is definitely very helpful!

tonymy01

good to hear! I got the email notification for a reply to this topic and thought the worst, because Mark was taking a bit of a rest due to health reasons, but glad he is still helping out PVR owners from all around the country still.

"Clearing a timer" can be done two ways too on the older Beyonwiz, and one way will result in the behaviour you are seeing. The icetv protocol is two ways, when you delete a timer from the Wiz, it tells icetv you don't want to record the show for that week. You will have to reschedule each...

tonymy01

Lol...
The Subaru went a while ago, have another turbo charged 2l awd, a VW Golf R, it can give some equally nice surround sound feedback too

tonymy01

Nice efficient use of the small bandwidth available... not! Why did they bother!?

tonymy01

See this is the thing I am seeing. The terrrestrial LCN bouquet (presumably all encompassing) has everything I expect in it, in particular look at 9 here (there is also an LCN 9 of Channel 9 Sydney): 9start.jpg 9end.jpg ] There are none in the 300s. But going to editing my faves bouquet (from favour...

tonymy01

I need my F1 too....but still can't justify that ludicrous price, it would need to be $40/month with HD before i would consider

But i would probably run it through the wiz like you have done, just to make timeshift bearable, but you lose AC3/5.1 sound that way.

tonymy01

I ended up deleting all from that broadcaster from the favourites list (had similar prob with Ten), and then when editing, this rogue GEM one (which is really 9HD when seeing both content and the iceguide uploaded) seems to show up again even though it isn't seen in the full terrestrial list. I now ...

tonymy01

From memory I did do location scans and there was no option to clear, it seems from the discussion above this option is only exposed when doing a manual scan.

tonymy01

I still have a rogue GEM in my channel lists. I don't see it at all in terrestrial list, but when I go to the favourites editor it suddenly shows up...Is strange. And because of the inability to see the LCN, makes things tricky to see if it was old or new..

tonymy01

No, just a case of suck it and see I suppose. I agree scene transitions are atrocious now on SBSHD but more static scenes look great.

tonymy01

There is tonnes of native HD on SBS now? E.g something I enjoyed a while back, Fargo.

tonymy01

I have two T4 wizzes, a 2TB and refurb BB, and the BB seems to be doing the same thing, it will sometimes be perfect, sometimes keep dropping out the hdmi every 10 secs or so for a few secs (perhaps just Yamaha/TV resync delay after the dropout glitch and the drop may be less?). If I connect the com...

tonymy01

I believe from PRL post that if they were on at the time of recording for that channel, then every time you open one of the recordings for that channel they will be on for that initially.

tonymy01

wow, so bouquets extend beyond broadcast TV channels, that is pretty cool. I guess some of us would like to see that iptv.sh script to make sure it isn't doing anything more sinister under the hood...

tonymy01

This is really a P2 question. Subtitles on the older series were finicky for media files. In essence you are playing a media file from the T2. Because the recorded file format is not native to the P2 (just a TS file, not the directory structure that the P2 used to use), the P2 generally doesn't supp...

tonymy01

I like the rectangular buttons, but only because that is what I am used to seeing with the older Wiz. If there are many other UI elements using the round label style, then keeping homogenous is probably better.

tonymy01

Is it possible that it is hanging on shutdown, rather than a front panel problem? I have had to use the rear power switch a couple of times during a reboot(but reboot is just a shutdown/restart while code running, right?, I.e just before the front panel powers everything off).

tonymy01

two routers isn't a good solution unless you can setup routing tables. And I assume they are typical home NAT routers, which shares 1 IP address to multiple units, which won't allow units on one to see unit on another. If one is not a router, but a wireless switch hanging off a LAN side of the other...

tonymy01

I like the sound of the countdown option also. Many a time now I have come home or woken up to a timeshift message on vfd and screen.

tonymy01

I was getting that same error on my barebones wiz backing up to flash. When I put a hdd in and changed the backup path to hdd, the problem went away.

tonymy01

Not yet, back overseas again..

tonymy01

Good one!
Regarding the hdmi in, i notice that sometimes the state of it gets confused. So pressing blue from live TV shows to switch off instead of on for example. (I use hdmi in a lot and often will put into standby with it enabled).

tonymy01

500 with dual floppy here, and 512K? expansion with RTC.

tonymy01

Both my T4 remotes have begun the "permanent light up" bug now, at almost the same day. Was strange waking up and seeing my remote lit up one morning..The other did the same a day later (spontaneously light up), amazed the batteries are still working.

tonymy01

I was recently informed that subtitles are channel specific. I.e if you enable on a channel, recordings from that channel will be enabled by default. So perhaps you do have the subtitles enabled on the particular channel you are recording but not on the others (thus confusing your conclusion about h...

tonymy01

Set the wiz to decode everything. Hopefully you will get sound then (although sd/mpeg audio channels will already be decoded to PCM)? Maybe the pcm rate of the wiz is not accepted by the tv? What does the tv info details show about the audio?

tonymy01

I just don't like connecting an old, outdated, unprotected device to the internet, but anyway... What are you connecting it to? If a router, then you aren't really connecting it to the internet since the NAT router is doing the protection, and unless you specifically set up port forwards, there is ...

tonymy01

Thank goodness we don't have this issue in Sydney!

tonymy01

But I remember PeterU saying that this had to be pushed into the front panel every time, in order to allow a wakeup with the remote, else if you set the remote to anything other than default, the PVR can't be woken up again with the remote control. I can't remember the specifics as I am still in lea...

tonymy01

Does it get an IP address, if so, you can try to telnet in, perhaps the enigma part only is restarting and not the whole unit.
Then you can fault find and factory reset through telnet to see if it helps.

tonymy01

Yes, but you can set to broadcaster/transponder, pull out the antenna, and set it thru telnet, as I demonstrated. I noticed when i had set to NTP, I was able to change the time through telnet, and for some time later it didn't update (since the checks are every 30mins on mine). But when I restarted ...

tonymy01

Ahh, this is the thread! Yay. This is the full Sydney now with this extra 7 network (non-duplicate to 7,71 this time, it is actually hogging some bandwidth) on LCN76: eeee0000 1013 0502 0520 00007 00053738 eeee0000 1013 0502 0524 00070 00053738 eeee0000 1013 0502 0521 00071 00053738 eeee0000 1013 05...

tonymy01

In the case of this particular unit, I don't even get a blue LED to show me it is in deep standby (my other unit does have a blue LED), so hung vs standby you wouldn't know the difference (of course being overseas I don't get the luxury of looking at the front panel LED, this is just what my wife ha...

tonymy01

Oh great, I just scanned my other Wiz, and see a channel called "new channel"... I though it was a Wiz bug, but look at what Seven has done: 1_0_1_525_502_1013_EEEE0000_0_0_0CA175TSK.jpg Another lousy bandwidth hogging channel look how many Seven are broadcasting.. lcndb: eeee0000:1013:050...

tonymy01

I wanted to discuss this in here, instead of in general threads. I have been working overseas a hell of a lot lately, and now twice this has happened to me, when I go to fully restart the T4 from OpenWebif, it never comes back again (can't be pinged from my other T4 which I am SSH into at the time &...

tonymy01

Whoops, i guess I should have checked that bit first. You can do it from telnet: root@beyonwizt4:~# date Fri Dec 18 14:43:13 AEDT 2015 root@beyonwizt4:~# date --? date: unrecognized option '--?' BusyBox v1.23.1 (2015-11-06 02:46:16 AEDT) multi-call binary. Usage: date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME] Display...

tonymy01

or turn off NTP and then manually set the time to near midnight, although this limits the usefulness as an accurate PVR if you forget to change the time back again after testing....

tonymy01

I am using my T4 as an SSH server so I can get into my home remotely, as my SLUG (NSLU2) that I used to use for the purpose PSU went out of spec and the external HDD got corrupted for it as a result (haven't had the time to look at fixing it!), and my home PC isn't always on, and my home old LInux s...

tonymy01

The Toppy's format shows yellow for current cursor position - just ignore that. It's the shading of the grey background that I want to draw your attention to. Topfield EPG.png Is that really the Topfield stock EPG format? God, it looks terrible, I prefer the old DP-P/S series to that, where does it...

tonymy01

Peter previously posted, but the forums went bye bye.. OpenWebIf is the web interface of the Beyonwiz. If your router plays nicely, from a web browser http://beyonwizt4/ else put the IP address of your beyonwiz in there instead (so http://192.168.0.X/ for example). You can do quite a lot from the We...

tonymy01

Front panel vfd, frequent hanging and hdd checks are all signs of PSU capacitors failing. Mark/Warkus definitely is your man.

tonymy01

Ok, how about instead of dead tuner, just a poorer reception one that has some problems tuning some/one but not other broadcasters? I can't remember if any with this issue tried a 4 way splitter instead of daisy chain? Might really cut reception though with 6+dB drop of the splitter.

tonymy01

I can assure you I pressed exit many times. It didn't help. I pressed every button on the remote multiple times in case I was stuck in a hidden/undrawn menu that didn't let you press exit to get out. Yes, the remote was on STB mode. The blue LED was responding on the unit to the remote presses. The ...

tonymy01

p.s now I know it is the blue button, I was playing with this last night, and had to resort to telnetting into the Wiz to restart on multiple occasions, even when playing with a couple of the ABC options? The front panel display shows hbbtv plugin but there seems no way of getting control back again...

tonymy01

But, I was expecting it to show up in the media menu, or one of the other menus in the main menu page (such as the plugin one). I expect it to be a feature you would call up much like watching a file from the media player, or bringing up the web browser. Anyway, no biggy, now I know (and of course h...

tonymy01

I spent a great deal of time trying to find a hbbtv plugin or where it might hide in the gui, is hitting blue during normal TV really the place it hides? No wonder I couldn't find it!
