Can't skip advertisements, means don't skip it anymore when viewing recorded program! Take the time to go to the toilet (take a leak), to the kitchen (grab a snack) just like the good old days when we have no beyonwiz yet ! I tend to just hit pause if I want to pee... 4.

You do have a problem with the 4 months I suspect. A couple of weeks and just about any store will swap over the model on the grounds you didn't know it couldn't skip ads, offload content etc.. Do you have the original packaging? That always helps if you can box it back up. In general after a few we...

Unplug?? The unit doesn't do any kind of auto-DST GMT offset adjustment, so nothing needs unplugging. Regards Knew I should have clarified.

Is there any way to set a priority for ICE shows? I'm trying to record Media Watch. Unfortunately there are two other shows on at that time I record. But its repeated on Wednesday night. Except you can't tell ICE you only want repeats. So you have to set recording all and then the Monday show gets i...

You could try ringing ICE (rather than here). They can look at what's happening real time and probably tell you what's going awry. Its possible your issues are related to your network setup or the BW firmware etc.

Doesn't bother me (although it does sound like a variant on my make the volume OSD less intrusive). As a general UI/programming principle feed back should only be provided in the case of things going wrong. Presenting people with lots of 'reassuring' messages tends to mean they start filtering them ...

Of course, this is nothing more than something the user could have done themselves, but this makes it easier and doesn't rely on the user knowing that the show they want is broadcast at multiple times. Its workable but I think it would be of very limited appeal. As mentioned it would only apply to ...

I'd suggest setting identical timers on both machines to be sure.

Also don't forget DLS will be kicking out around the time you leave.

That's a pretty useful feature given current channel offerings. I'm guessing current Wiz hardware probably can't support this. No reason it shouldn't really. The heavy lifting in a PVR is really the coversion of a digital stream to an analogue one (to send to your TV). Obviously this only ever happ...

The main amp is where volume should be controlled.

For another if you do use another device as the volume c...

Quite liking the BW however one aspect I find really intrusive is the volume bar. These days a combo of kids sleeping, high background sound, poor TV speakers, etc. mean I'm upping and dropping the sound levels a fair bit during a show (up for quiet speech and down when the explosions start). The BW...

Sounds about right. The dificulty will be in making the pitch. I'd almost be inclined to offer $400 as they'll almost certainly try up you on any price you offer. I'd be slipping in terms like "obsolete/superceeded".

Good luck.

I find AVIs have no issues. MKVs maybe 1 in 5 will play fine for a while before decending into a judering mess. As such I tend to copy them over to the local drive for watching (1Gb = 1 MKV = about 4 minutes)

I think you have set the global trashcan value accidentally. It will be a menu option. Basically by default you can set a file to be kept X number of days and then moved to the Trashcan.

Its now started working again - no idea why. As stated previously thanks to everyone for their input. Its appreciated. Cheers A last thought, can you start a manual recording (on say 10) and switch to a totally different channel (say 7)? Its possible one of your tuners is out. Regards Peter Gillespie

Any ideas ? You should do a bit of 10 minute testing (like you're doing) to make sure you've got the basics in place. First up get the unit working fine before worrying about ICE. 1) Ensure the date / time of the unit is correct. 2) Ensure you're selecting a record timer not a play/view timer. 3) E...

If you haven't already viewed series 3 it starts this Wednesday on 72. So it looks like analog viewers will miss out. Couldn't wait (or trust the network for that matter).

Hi I am fairly new to Beyonwiz products but have purchased the FV-L1 unit. Is there anyway to get it to fast forward as opposed to skipping if I go faster than x4 ?

I agree. There are already PVRs on the market that can record more streams than they have tuners. Topfield make some of them. Beyonwiz makes one, too. If we're right, I think that they might be setting themselves up for some consumer disgruntlement with that claim. I think it may be a reasonable cl...

Unfortunately your options are very limited with an extended waranty. You have no rights to demand any particular course of action by the repairer.

If properly connected a component cable connection will always be noticably better than composite for any set top boxes. Either the BW is faulty or (more likely) you've set things up incorrectly. 1) Take the amp out of the equation as a test as it might be that's the issue. 2) Check your video setti...

Yes but theres a bunch of them. VOB1, VOB2, etc. If I play VOB1 then does VOB2 automatically follow on? Guess I can give it a go and see.

Or simply mount the ISO with various utilities and grab the VOBs out of it. ISO isn't a video format. ISO is a capture of a whole disc image. I assume the VOB structure isn't smart enought to realise its been split into 3 bits and play each one sequentially on the BW? I'll look at DVD Shrink. Thank...

Just a few downloaded shows that came as ISOs. I suppose ISOs are a bit nicer in that they're a single file. Now I realise the issue I should be able to work around it easily enough.

Can I just confirm, Do you need to incorporate subtitles on the PC then transfer to a BW or can you just put the AVI and SRT files in the BW and it will handle the rest?
