Hello All,

Is it just me or are the icons at the top level of this forum reversed? The forums with new posts show as no new posts (dim icon) and the forums with no new posts show as having new posts (bold icon).

Hi Eolian, All happy now though. Saw post about scheduled recordings going missing, but I've never experienced that. Then again, I do edit every recording however to pad it out, so this must be bypassing the issue. Funny about that, I also find myself manually adjusting all timer recordings to allow...

Hi All, I suspect that Beyonwiz has been inundated with input and feedback on the DP-S1. I too await the next firmware release to see what has been done and what is left to be done. I hope that someone from Beyonwiz will come back to us with a collated list of bug and feature requests that have been...

Hi T, I have the same problem losing sync with 720p over component cables to a projector. I don't think it is the projector since it only happens with the Beyonwiz. I have not tried running it at 1080i because, frankly, the picture is pretty crap when its downscaled by the projector. What other equi...

Hi Pete, I too stream content from my PCs and my NAS. (For Bandit, I use an Infrant (now Netgear) ReadyNAS NV+ .) I use CAT5e because I have the house wired for it. I have no issues with media playback. In fact, I think media playback is better through the network than it is playing the same file fr...

Hi Simon, This is definitely not argument material. I was just concerned that the wording of your post may have given people reading it the illusion that the Beyonwiz was not working properly in the scale or magnitude of the Topfield or Teac HD PVRs. I was trying to say that the bug isn't that big, ...

Hi Judy,

Sorry to say this but I suspect you have a hardware failure in your unit. It may just be a faulty hard drive, it may be something more serious. I suggest you take it back to the store and arrange for a replacement unit.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Simon, Okay, I guess this could qualify for the first real 'serious' (all in context, of course) bug for the DP-S1... I would not rate this as a "serious" or "critical failure" type bug. At most it may be a confirmed issue. I think we should save the term "serious bug&quo...

IanSav

Hi Judy,

Do you hear the hard disk spinning up?

I assume that you have pulled the power to the unit for a few minutes and tried a clean power up cycle. Did this change anything?

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Dham,

Is the notebook correctly configured for networking? Is file sharing enabled and is there a directory being shared? Have you followed the instructions regarding enabling the Guest account and enabling Guest network access?

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Judy,

Is this just a message you see during bootup or is there more to what happens? Is the box still functional?

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Simon, This is the first serious bug I've seen, let's hope there's still time to fix it before the next release. I hope you are using the term "serious" as "this is not a joke" as opposed to "this is a critical failure" type statement. I would not rate this as a crit...

Hi Lex200, I use an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ with my DP-S1. As others have stated any device that offers Windows compatible shares should work. The only wrinkle is that the device must also support "Guest" access without a password. That is, the share must not be secured behind user login secu...

IanSav

Hi Dave, Another excellent suggestion. But how exactly do you envision getting the buffer to change channels (if you decide you want the buffer on the channel you've just switched to)? Pressing stop would seem to be the obvious solution. I presume that the capture system is little more than a bit of...

IanSav

Hi Dave, The BW does see my Dreambox and streams files from it so I know it can see other devices, just not the computer in this case. Like others, a BW network search gets to 49% and finishes.! Hmmmmmm, on my network the scan pauses for a short while on 49% and then continues on to the full 100%. I...

Hi All, Just out of interest... I just noticed that Ice offer a free 1 day EPG for anyone to use and they provide a free PC addon widget to view it. Is there any chance that Ice could extend this 1 day free EPG to us Beyonwiz users? Perhaps danielicetv can jump in and let us know if this could be po...

IanSav

Hi All, Another compromise could be that changing channels no longer clears the timeshift buffer. It continues as a perpetual two hour loop recording whatever channel is displayed on screen. That way, if you forget that you have something in the buffer that you wanted to see you can still rewind and...

IanSav

Hi Colourful21, Just out of interest, when you were playing back the previous recording did you get a PLAY ERROR message? Had you received this error on any other file playback you had done since you last restarted the unit and before the recordings broke? I have noticed that the media player compon...

When I posted I don't believe the profile had been updated.

To dg (David), being Melbourne based I don't have any stores to suggest to you.

IanSav

Hi Dave, OK then, it must be an issue with the WinXP settings on my laptop that stops the BW seeing the lappy's HDD. The current Beyonwiz firmware does not have the ability to set the account username and password that the DP-S1 uses to connect to other devices on the network. Currently it will only...

Hi Warren, I prefer to look at my Beyonwiz as relatively bug free but with a few features missing. I accept that people have found some faults with the unit but I think it is significant to realise that this unit is still on its initial release firmware. Bugs are quite few given the feature list of ...

IanSav

Hi Nixay, I would still give Sony a call. Given that the bug appears to be a failure of compliance with the 720p standard, Sony may offer to make the adjustment at no charge for you. At most it may require you to visit a service centre. If you are lucky they may just give you the command sequence to...

Hi Warren,

At the moment the media player is a simple file browser based player. ID tags etc are not used. Who knows what future firmware updates will bring.

Ian.

IanSav

Hi Nixay, Another night problem-free using 1080i over component. At the end I flipped it back over to 720p and within 5 minutes lost sync again. So definitely a problem with that resolution - will find out tomorrow if HDMI has the same issue. I was trying to use 720p because that's the native (or cl...

IanSav

Hi Jason, Hell yes!! I just bought a Harmony 1000 which is pretty much a useless doorstop atm!! :evil: Apart from the fact that your Harmony can learn the Beyonwiz functions, I was told by a Logitech rep that the Beyonwiz had been added to the list of devices known. I'm sorry I can not verify this b...

IanSav

Hi Rappo,

I don't have anything that does 1080p as yet but I am pretty sure that the DP-S1 only goes up to 1080i.

What the future brings, in the way of firmware updates, is up to Beyonwiz.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi All, Change logs that accompany each firmware release would be most welcome. Not only does such a list define fixes that have been made to the firmware but it would also highlight new or changed features as well. Such a document helps keep people informed while they wait for official updates to t...

IanSav

Hi All,

Ditto for the Marantz.

(I am not sure if it is the same as for the Pronto.)

In fact, while I am asking, perhaps the whole codeset can be made available so people can easily and properly integrate their Beyonwiz's into their home theatre remote controls.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Azz123, I 100% agree with you that a "soft" format is more manageable, though I've had a couple too many drives die on me over the years causing me some serious grief and many hours of lost work and some stuff that was not replaceable... Damn Gremlins. :lol: Why don't you consider a sma...

Hi Jackie, This is Jackie from Beyonwiz (Korea). We will try to make open communication channel with our customers and listen complains, thus improve features, quality and our brand value. Welcome to the forum. Thank you for coming here. Your presence totally legitimises this forum for me. I look fo...

IanSav

Hi Bandit, To check for performance issues you should try and eliminate as much of the network as possible and see if the issue persists. The most simple network required for the basic test is to connect the Beyonwiz directly to a PC using a cross-over cable. Make sure that the PC and the Beyonwiz h...

Hi Venno,

My DP-S1 arrived today. I will set it up and keep an eye open for lip sync issues. I can, and will, compare to my old HD STB to see if these issues are Beyonwiz or transmission specific.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Venno,

What state are you in?

I saw this on my HD-STB. I don't think it was a Beyonwiz issue.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Kabe,

My DP-S1 arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on this. It should save some setup time.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi All, Just a few quick questions for my clarification and understanding... Is this forum run by Beyonwiz or by DPG? That is, do Beyonwiz staff come here? I ask this as the forum at http://www.beyonwiz.com/support/forum.php, which is on the Beyonwiz corporate website, is not yet active. It would be...

IanSav

Hi All,

Nothing to see here! Move along.

Just testing.

Regards,
Ian.
