PMs go to the Outbox where they sit until the message is read. Then they move to the Sentbox.

Both messages received. Back permitting I will try for a collection tomorrow. Thank you for the offer.

Regards,
Ian.

Great.

Good luck with the back.

smeg888

Ian sent you a PM, probably two?

can't see on my sent PM list that they were sent??

smeg888

Got the Pana 720. It's very good, particularly the streaming to ipad/iphone/Nexus 7 .

Was wondering if I left my S1 on my front porch would I find a six pack of Boags there when I got home?? Sort of like the tooth fairy!!!

So am I.

What do you want to do with your DP-S1?

Ian.

If I get the purchase of the Pana across the line with the boss, you can have the BW if you pick it up.

Don't trash or dump your DP-S1. Others may wont to save your unit for spare parts for their unit. Or else, they will have Mark refurbish it for a renewed life as a PVR.

Where are you located?

The Pana wont play .MKV files. The cheapest Bluray player does just not the recorders. yep, also have a Mac mini with 4 tuners as part of my set up. Can pretty much play anything with that. The pana is just a more wife-friendly backup recorder and I'll be able to get rid of my bluray player as well...

I think the time has come, my S1 is on it's last legs. HDD checks, won't boot, locks up After more than 5 years of faithful service I think I'm about to leave the comforting embrace of my Wiz and jump over to one of the new Panas. Funny thing is that my first PVR was a Pana, before the Toshiba. So w...

smeg888

hmmm, very interesting. Had turned Ice of and was using FTA EPG. Turned IceTV back on, BW went mad, kept on locking up and spontaneously turning off after about 2 minutes. Was running FW 1.5.260 and noticed on the IceTV site that there could be problems with older version of the FW, so upgraded to 3...

smeg888

Very interesting this thread. Like OPs have said. I changed the time on my S1 to GMT+10 and since then ICE TV hasn't worked at all. I haven't changed anything else on the BW, newtork, router or other PCs. The BW is still attached to the network, I can see it from my PCs, and play files from the PCs ...

Not sure if someone else posted this, but I think my wiz has just had, or is just about to have, it's second birthday. Mine had it's 2nd birthday 4 months ago. But they didn't go on sale until just on 2 years ago. Well done Dave, that what we call ours, after the HN salesman. I call mine smeg 8) Af...

I know it's here somewhere, but can someone point me to what's supposed to be in this release, other than auto-delete.

If your TV is HDMI capable, find out the best and cheapest HDMI cable in advance, as HN swear the Monster (at about $300!) is the only good choice. I have no idea. You only need to spend $20 to $50 on an HDMI cable. You only need to spend SIX BUCKS for a 2m cable at MSY - http://www.msy.com.au/Part...

The $649 model looks like an FV-L1?? The ad say "Freeview ready" and the larger version of the image has nice "Freeview" badge on it.

I'm sure one of you gurus will know the answer to this. Problem I'm trying to solve is for simulated video streaming. Specifically, I want to be able to play a file on one PC that is being recorded on another PC. I can get KMPlayer, DVBViewer, Nero, Media Player Classis all to open the file while it...

I've had an S1 since they first came out, and it?s my 3rd PVR, prior to the S1 a Toshi (which I gave to my brother in law and quite bizarrely it's still working) and one of the first Hard drive anaolgue Pioneers (which is still working at a friend?s place). I've got to say that the BW has been great...

What is "ration"...? Netmask already said he doesn't have the aspect ratio problem when using the LiDiC hanging off the PC, so why buy something else? "Ration" was typing too fast. It's meant to be ratio, given the context thought that may have been obvious, but anyway, thanks f...

smeg888

If you can capture straight to your PC buy some other capture device. There are plenty around for well under $100 that don't have the aspect ration problem. I've got an LiDC but use my Cheapy USB capture device instead. Much easier. I actually leave it hooked up to my PC all the time so I can have a...

smeg888

I guess on the BW I could use it to delete the dummy 6:00 program I have to wake it to get Ice TV remote updates. You smeghead! You can setup a view only/VCR timer which won't record anything to the HDD to achieve this (but it will change channels to the view only timer setup channel). Thanks for t...

smeg888

Auto delete, hmmmmm. As an OP said "surely there must be something better to deliver than that". And it does beg the question who sets the priorities, I really haven't seen that many post over the last year begging for auto-delete. In fact it realy only raised it's head when the Tivo came ...

smeg888

Thanks for the support and suggestions guys.

I loaded the latest firmware before the game tonight and everything seems to work fine again.

smeg888

I didn?t want to alarm anyone about this problem that I first noticed last Sunday, so I waited and watched, and it happened again last night. I?ve got an S1 that I?ve had since they first came and until now it has performed flawlessly, never missing a recording. But now twice in a week, recording 9H...

smeg888

I wouldn't have thought that "Record 6 HD channels at once, plus outputting other content at resolutions higher than 1080p at the same time" would beyond a stock HTPC. The real challenge would be finding 6 (or even 5) channels of HD worth recording at once :P I'd be pretty confident that ...

smeg888

peteru, prl and smeg888 - that is the cleverest piece of banter that I have seen in a long time. That sort of ingenuity is priceless. Thanks for the laughs. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I've had some very bad experiences with data overflow, once in fact I thought my wife was going to le...

smeg888

I still don't understand why everyone finds this so hard. Push the jump 15 secs forward button once, it brings up the time line, note what the time is, add three minutes to this (yes in your mind, not with a caluclator), hold the forward skip button down until the time line moves forward 3 minutes. ...

smeg888

Very clever!! I laughed a lot.

As my wife and friends say when I make a new Youtube video - "You've got too much time on your hands"!!!

smeg888

As long as when you say "media" you mean videos, as Gully says the H1 has some value. If you're also talking photos and music then you had better look elsewhere.

I can see this thread being closed very soon.

There's a tiny hole at the bottom for data overflow that ensure it c...

smeg888

Agreed and therefore its not worth wasting the time and effort replying. What it does do is make us all read posts in which we have absolutely no interest and I've already unsubsidised twice from from this thread. Because I'm worried I'll miss the release announcement I resubscribe and then find ag...

smeg888

If by DVD burner you mean a standalone DVD recorder, yes that would work. Quality won't be that brilliant - but it would be ok.

If you meant a PC type USB attached DVD burner, no that won't work. The BW won't recognise that it is there.

smeg888

Thanks for all the suggestions. In the end solved the problem with following simple (but not cheep) steps - - sold the Onkyo to a friend, who's got a new projector and plasma - reinstalled the old amp - bought a new Pio LX508 - sold the old plasma to another friend - installed the new TV - reprogram...

smeg888

Hi Smeg888, Is the Onkyo new? Does it have the latest firmware installed? I have heard about Onkyo HDMI issues that were apparently fixed with a firmware update. The first thing to check is that all the settings on all the devices is correct. Do it slowly and carefully making sure not to forget or ...

smeg888

Hi Would appreciate any help on this as the finance minister is somewhat unhappy that I spent $1000 on a new amp to "make things easier", but now we've got no picture. The short story - have got a Pioneer PDP505 and purchased an Onkyo 606 with 4 HDMI inputs. Connected my BW S1, Foxtel IQ a...

Just checked out the Harmony Forum.

Looks like it was a bad time to program a new Harmony. Seems that they implemented an ew version of their software on Friday night that has caused double key responses on a variety of their remote models.

Supposedly a fix will be out Tuesday.

Oh well.

smeg888

There is a solution in the Harmony help - just went thru this myself with two 785s - never had the problem with the 525 though. Select the Devices TAB then click Troubleshoot for BW, select "More Problems" then "Doesn't receive every command corectly" then "device responds ...

smeg888

Just spent a few hours setting up my new Harmony 785 for my HTPC, IQ2 and DP-S1. All works well except for a few of the keys where it is very difficult to get one press of the Harmony button to respond as a single key push on the BW. For example 9 out of 10 times the right arrow gives me 2 x 15 sec ...

hopefully would upgrade to a lcd screen over the next few months, so it might not matter in the first instance. most of the interest is for recording foxtel and free to air shows as wife is about to have our 3rd child and can see herself doing the early morning shift feeding and hates early morning...

smeg888

I agree with MadMax. If you want to record a lot of Foxtel the IQ is the way to go. It would be a nightmare setting synched manual timers on both the BW and the Foxtel Stu to do a more than just the odd recording. I've got an S1 and an IQ, they both do a great job at what they are designed for. I've...

Can you elaborate at this stage on how it works much better?

If it's like the LiDic it wil have component and SVIdeo.

The reason I like the Pop up is that it really impresses my ludite friends that still use VCRs.

smeg888

As Netmask says I haven't had any lipsink problems either from a VCR or Foxtel, my only problem is the fact that the E1 doesn't get the aspect ratio correct meaning that you have to process the file thru somthing else to fix it - a bit annoying.

smeg888

I copy loads of files to my PCs from the BW using WizFx. They all play quite happily on the PCs with Media Player Classic, VLC, nero Show Time and DVBViewer.

I only use Videoredo if I want to edit out the ads to keep the program.

smeg888

I'm with Ian on this one.

Don't see much relevance when I run the BW thru an amp.
