Re: Collectible STB & PVR hardware available

I’d like another box to run OpenaTV as one of mine has become a bit temperamental. Not fussed on what flavour of box. Happy to collect.

Re: Wrong video ratio.

Check out p.15 of the manual for the TV (https://www.manualslib.com/products/Tcl ... 94146.html). There is a setting under “Picture” to turn the Overscan on or off.

Re: USB Tuner

Thanks prl, you got it right. I found the info just before reading your reply. In settings I found it listed as an ITE Technologies product , which led me to the chips. Openatv has appropriate driver plugins.

Re: USB Tuner

Does anyone know the chipset of the beyonwiz mini usb tuner? Not a bluey or a blackie, more like a blacke sugarcube with “beyonwiz” on it, such as https://demo.beyonwiz.com.au/product/us ... t2-and-t3/. I’m looking for a driver (ipk) to run it in openatv.

But on the T2 in List it shows 238 recordings plus 51 subfolders (with many more recordings). I am bemused that you...

NextPVR Add On doesn't work for me, not sure why. I can get into the subfolders as a network source, and I can live with the messy file names. But it is very slow loading, to the point of being useless for me (and I am a reasonably patient person 8) ).

Yes, you’re right. About in OpenWebif says 1.4.9 - I missed that. I was looking at Packages in OpenWebif, which has four packages, all 1.4.6. So it seems that I need something more recent (1.5.2?).

Try 8player. You can navigate to sub-folders and play a variety of files, including ts and mpg files. I'm sure there are others.
