wiztv errors
Noticed today that DP-P2 could not connect to wizTV.
Tried www.wiztv.com.au and site is down, there is no domain whois or lookup info and http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/wiztv.com.au indicates
It's not just you! http://wiztv.com.au looks down from here.
Any ideas?

Hi Mattzilla,
It appears that the WizTV domain registration has expired and is currently suspended. I hope this is just an oversight. If I find any more information I will update the post.
UPDATE: Beyonwiz are currently re-organising their data centre arrangements. This issue was an accidental oversight and will be corrected ASAP. This will not be corrected within hours it will take a number of days to fix.
Regards,
Ian.

Thanks Ian, as a brand new Beyonwiz user I was keen to explore, and disappointed when the website disappeared before I had a chance to use it. Regards IanIanSav wrote:Hi Ian,
Welcome!
I haven't spoken to anyone at Beyonwiz Australia this week but I don't believe that WizTV services are close to being back on deck yet. I suspect that there is quite some more work required.

Hi Ian,
I believe that WizTV will be back it will just be running from a new server in a different data centre.
I believe that this forum will also be moving to a new server in a new data centre. Hopefully lessons will be learned from the WizTV move that will protect us from any sort of extended outage.

Sorry, Ian. I don't see how neglecting to renew the registration of a DNS name has anything to do with moving a service to a new server.

Hi Peter,
The information about the server relocation is, I believe, correct and came from a discussion with a Beyonwiz Australia staff member. I suspect that the domain renewal issue may be involved in the data centre relocation process.

Ian.
That information didn't come from me.prl wrote:But I think IanSav has indicated before that at least part of the problem is that they haven't worked out a model (or haven't got the necessary partners) to fund WizTV.

There were/are no issues with the WizTV server. It's quite happily functioning and serving WizTV content to anyone who can find it.IanSav wrote:the server issues are now resolved
The problem is with DNS resolution. The registration has expired and therefore the top level servers for .com.au won't point at the domain. Doing a whois lookup on wiztv.com.au will reveal this information, as well as the IP address of the DNS servers for the WizTV domain, which in turn will allow you to see for yourself that the WizTV server is operating just fine.There is a small administrative issue left to resolve and the WizTV service should be fully restored. Hopefully it won't be too long now.
If I had to guess at what might have happened, I'd say that the domain renewal email probably got automatically put in someone's Junk/Spam folder, never got acted on and as a result the registration expired.
Stuff like that has happened to some pretty high profile companies in the past - the downside of HTML mails urging you to hand over money as opposed to printed snail mail versions of the same thing.

I think the post I (mis)remembered was this one from Gully.

We should be organising some sort of birthday party for WizTV. This month sees it completing its second year as a beta service.
Happy second birthday, beta WizTV!

I think I've been taking my dates from the early posts on the WizTV part of the forum. Which could have been a while after it actually started. Anyway, two or two-and-a-half years in beta, it's still a long time

Not shooting the messenger, but three weeks in infotech land is a tad more than "temporarily unavailable".glow wrote:To all customers,

I really wish Beyonwiz would improve its WizTV service. I think it's gone backwards over the last 2 years. It's frustrating because there's so much potential for it to be a good service.
Even if WizTV were to just go back to offering the ABC News feeds that it had in 2009, then that would be a massive improvement!
Please add more features to the WizWeather section! It just seems so lazy and unprofessional to not build on the service!

Logged a case with Beyonwiz and they advised that "The WizTV server is currently being moved due to the problems so the service will resume as soon as possible but we have no eta on this at the moment"IanSav wrote:

Thanks for the update. This is different from what I was told about a week ago.
Indeed, they actually change the story every time ...
3 weeks ago I logged another case with them about the same issue and back then they advised that the site will be up and running by the next Friday ...
Obviously not the case ...
