I have a refurb BB T4 and it seems to randomly have HDMI output problems too. When the problem starts, I give up on it and use composite (could probably use component but I really only use the BB for mucking about at the moment, it was easy to run the one extra cable to the tv). The symptoms are tha...

I had a constant rebooting gui after installing a few plugin/extensions day 2 of box ownership, I didn't use opkg to remove, I found the extensions in the filesystem (can't remember which folder) and ls -alrt shows in time modified order where you can then find original vs recently installed, and rm...

What if you take the external drive off, does it still play up?

tonymy01

Sounds like the drive goes to sleep on long pause and the wiz struggles and does something silly with mapping?

I tried and failed unfortunately. The Yammi can't find the audio in a HDMI1.4 stream I guess, or something else is getting in the way.

tonymy01

That is good news! I was disappointed to find out my Yammie wouldn't pass 3D through it. I can set the BR player to downscale audio to SPDIF/optical to at least get sound & directly connect BR to TV, but it is a pain I have a 7.1 amp that I can't use for 3D. Same with ARC now, it is nice to have...

On my BB Wiz I was getting a similar error, when you choose flash rather than hdd,a slightly different error, figured it was something not possible to do without a hdd (I now have a hdd in it so can't try to repeat).

tonymy01

Tuners all draw a bit of signal out of antenna, the more splitters and tuners connected, the less signal goes into each tuner. You need to improve your reception, remove any unnecessary splitters, or use a quality booster amplifier (potentially with its own splitter so you can feed each tuner with i...

Delete the old channels from the wiz and see how you go (so delete GEM, not 9GEM). I had a bunch of duplicates doing a manual scan on the Nein frequency (Didn't have clear channels check box ticked as I figured that would likely purge all channels which I didn't want). Possibly purge all Nine relate...

tonymy01

You have to delete more than just the Ten, also One, 11 and whatever other channels Ten had in the multiplex. Then scan the good frequency only, and you will get your epg.

tonymy01

T2,T4 new, T3 hardware not so new but operating system the same, the DP-P1,S1,P2 are the old ones I was referring to, completely different system. I used to be a Topfield advocate when they had the SD PVR out (one of the first and best) but they lost the plot with their HD PVRs (buggy as anything). ...

tonymy01

I saw your post on whirlpool, the wiz is fine, even the older ones. The only issue with the older ones was if you brought up an osd, such as when pausing or whatever, the subtle would go away and would only return when it loads from the stream, which I can see from some broadcasters can be about 5 s...

tonymy01

I guess you have the latest 04 November firmware, where the ICETV plugin was not installed by default. You need to go to plugins and dig around there and find/download & install it (can all be done from GUI). Then you should see the ICETV option in the 1st or 2nd menu column once installed (not ...

tonymy01

If you can get from Beyonwiz to other computers in the same subnet, but not from Beyonwiz out to internet, the problem is a routing (thru gateway) or DNS one (beyonwiz can not communicate with hostnames like icetv.com.au or ntp servers like ntp.com.au because it doesn't know their IP address because...

tonymy01

Does any page come up with WizTV (which is connecting to the internet to get details) although I haven't tried this myself in years now to see if it is still somewhat active? Maybe you need to re-enter your ICE account info, I notice they recently changed their system, I used to use "tonymy01&q...

tonymy01

Through the EPG would be one way, although not quite the answer you were looking for.

tonymy01

The T series would need a plugin that implements the wizPnP protocol, but none has talked that task yet. . I am thinking of giving this a shot. I did the reverse with the S/P series, I built a WizPNP server that could run on a PC and look like a Wiz to the Wiz GUI, so I think I might be able to kno...

tonymy01

Change your router dns to 8.8.8.8 and see if this changes anything? And/or try resetting your internet facing router?

tonymy01

I have the 3800 and there was definitely at least one firmware update for it, this was a long time ago now though. I am not at home to check the details for you though. Probably been dropped off the support databases due to age..thus not finding much on the local sites. I recall having to go to the ...

tonymy01

From memory you drag them in, it is quite easy. But like I said, with Chrome, many active elements in the Web interface aren't visible, I had to use IE to get the proper experience.

tonymy01

I recall having something a bit weird with mine, and resolved in the web interface (or was it vice-versa). But it was a similar symptom, a blank entry.

tonymy01

I simply hit 'enable auto renew'. I didn't get an invoice/recpt., but expect to do so when the subscription expires on Nov 10 and the subs. is charged. I don't think that is the correct process. I think, as mentioned earlier in the thread, to go into their new payment gateway, you need to provide p...

tonymy01

Did you try to get a new DHCP IP address? Check the status (green from memory in the networking screen) and make sure that the gateway and dns are set (and set to your router IP). If they look fine, perhaps your ISP hasn't updated their DNS records when ICETV moved their servers the other day? The T...

tonymy01

I don't have the Wiz in front of me (and couldn't get a VPN working to my few year old Netgear), so from memory you had to create a favourites group & give it a name.

tonymy01

Or even easier is to edit the bouquet from a web browser (not chrome though, it seems to not support the Wiz too well, IE works fine). You get select handles to move things around very easily & quickly (from memory).

tonymy01

Where the source file has 5.1 Dolby Digital, all audio channels are now passed thro by the Wiz to the amp correctly as 6 separate channels without being downmixed to stereo. That's good - and not as I remember from way back when I first set up my S1 - which, I think, was under firmware 261 (long, l...

tonymy01

Both 20052.

I checked the two about pages previously and they were the same, I forgot the front panel version was in there.

I tried the panel f/w upgrade plug in and the only download avail through the plug-in is the same version 20052.
So, what is the default status of that LED in deep standby?

tonymy01

Does that front panel f/w plugin work on our units? It looked a bit generic, was worried it would break something if I ran it.

tonymy01

Ok, I am now the proud owner of two T4, a BB (refurb) and a 2TB, they have different behaviour for the front panel LED. The BB when in deep standby=blue, the 2TB is not lit. The 2TB will light when it detects remote control input, so the LED itself is working fine. What is the normal behaviour so I ...

tonymy01

Ok, it is all good tonight, just a glitch somewhere in HDMI path between PVR, receiver and tv (but receiver to tv was fine for the other T4).

tonymy01

My T4 BB, sitting above my T4-2TB (with 1/2 cut squash balls to separate the units a bit from each other and the T4-2TB from the shelf below it) was doing some weird things last night, HDMI wise. It was blinking off & on about every 5-10secs, it certainly wasn't hot itself as I had only just tak...

tonymy01

Also, based on Star6ky's report, it sounds like it is not only an audio format change that triggers this issue. It sounds sort of like when his incoming signal pixelated, the audio stream was interrupted, much like it may be interrupted when Foxtel switches between audio streams for ads. The ultima...

tonymy01

It was working until about 1am last night (I was furiously trying to move all my series from my old Wiz to my new T4 which I got yesterday morning and only enabled ICEtv about 11.30pm LOL). I was catching up on emails a bit after 12am and saw the ICE email and thought "oh no, trust it to be on ...

tonymy01

You need to set up a vpn. You don't need to go to that extent. I did this in the past by using port forwarding option of ssh. So you can use ssh private key and encryption, and once the session is established, you can get a port forwarded. I set this all up on my SLUG(NSLU2) to expose all manner of...

tonymy01

Oh dear, Dave's post gives me the same feeling I first got when I went to add/change a timer from the ICEtv guide on Friday evening and seeing the receivership notice :(... I totally rely on ICE for all my recording now. My post on their forums: Hi all, long time away from the forums, family life an...

tonymy01

Hi all, I am back :) Tempted by the emails I have been getting about this unit. I am in the "contemplating" list at the moment. How good is the SD broadcast quality upscaling (to 1080i, given 1080p30 isn't really an option for video-50fields/sec content)? Also, I wonder how the quality is ...

tonymy01

Wow, it was literally tomorrow, an interesting product!

tonymy01

My post disappeared from this thread.... did you ensure you were putting the correct IP address for your wiz, as seen from the Wiz network page? This address can change when your router and/or Wiz is rebooted depending on how you have the router setup. Also, you don't need to obscure 192.168.x.x add...

tonymy01

Thanks Peter.
I have been absent for some time off the forums, too much work last year (lots of os stuff too), will get back in the swing now.

tonymy01

It is off season at the moment, so not many (none!) scheduling clashes for me, but it has been emailing me to say when timers have failed (but they haven't), specifically when there has been back to back shows (Warehouse13 followed by Alpha followed by Alpha). I had the wrong beyonwiz model setup fo...

I was given a DP-P2 a few weeks back, and replaced the usual suspects, 5V supply caps totally bulged and gone etc, but it still wouldn't fire up. A quick email to Mark, and some further suggestions to replace (including a couple I was thinking might have been the culprits) and bingo, a working DP-P2...

tonymy01

I got a TV tuner card which came with IR receiver and remote control suitable for Windows Media Centre, presumably that is how most others are doing it. But it is not in my HT area, so I don't use the remote all that often for it, just driving WMC with mouse at my computer desk... I am surviving sti...

tonymy01

I am in that area, I can take it off your hands if you wish?

To remove the HDD as a variable, you can copy/transfer the file to the Wiz HDD, it shows up in the content directory IIRC.

Set padding priority to none or you well be forever missing the beginning of timers.
