Ordered WizOTT from Dealspace.com.au
Ordered WizOTT from Dealspace.com.au
I ordered a WizOTT from DealSpace.com.au on the 9th of April. Paypal says the e-Cheque I sent cleared around Thursday/Friday.
Dealspace.com.au says the order is still processing.
How long should I expect to wait for it to arrive in the mail?

It arrived today. So far I haven't been able to connect it to the internet. There's nothing wrong with the ethernet cable I"m using -- it works perfectly fine for my Beyonwiz DP-P2, but it keeps on saying "There is no internet connection" for the WizOTT. I don't know what's wrong with it.madmax wrote:I'd love to hear your review, Bruce, once you do get it. I'm seriously thinking of getting one for my Dad, mostly to do photo slideshows.
Internet
How come I cannot establish an internet connection on my WizOTT? It works for my two Beyonwiz DP-P2 units. I used the Automatic (DHCP) setting for my DP-P2 and it works fine. It won't work for my WizOTT.
Is the unit faulty or have I done something wrong? Unlike the DP-P2, the WizOTT doesn't seem to have any way to test the signal.
Can some one from Beyonwiz please give me a hand?

While ya waiting, why not try assigning an IP address instead of Auto DHCP.

Only if your current DNS source is unreliable. But I presume since it will be your router (e.g. 192.168.0.1 if that is your router gateway address) you don't really need a secondary (since your router is probably given a primary and secondary from your ISP, and the router's job is to provide you a DNS resolution via proxy to the working DNS server your ISP provides).

I found the problem. One end of the ethernet cable was loose. Snipping it off and then crimping a new RJ46 socket onto it has done the job. All working now!
Well, I cannot watch any videos on it until I install a 2.5" HDD that has been formatted. All I've been able to use so far is the internet for general web browsing. Seems fine so far.mishmash wrote:....and your impression to date of the WizOTT is?
I was going to test out the videos section on it with the 2.5" HDD I bought from the local computer store. Problem is I think it might have fried while I tried to format it on my old desktop. I saw smoke coming out from the molex cable and the sata cable. It produced a putrid smell, sort of like burnt glue. Now my old PC isn't working. Guess I won't be checking out the video section any time soon...
Right now it's 2.1 (Eclair), but 2.2 (Froyo) is coming. Sigma Designs are also working on 2.3 (Gingerbread), so we may see that update eventually.tonymy01 wrote:Does it have android 2.2 or 2.1 on it?
Neither the website, box nor the printed manual mention DLNA and I've seen nothing in the UI that would suggest DLNA capabilities.tonymy01 wrote:It supports DLNA streaming as far as I am aware

Oh... sorry for the furfy. I guess it could play stuff from windows shares though still?
edit: Just read your other thread, the answer is yep.
Media streaming might still be possible with the addition of a third party app anyway. I wonder if I could put the Samsung "All Share" on it from my phone (de-odexed presumably since the app is probably tied into the phone framework.. ) wish I was back in Australia to give one a shot!

Furphy - from John Furphy, Victorian manufacturer of water and sanitation carts used by Australian troops in WW I. The water carts were centers for the exchange of gossip. Interesting parallel etymology with scuttlebutt.tonymy01 wrote:... furfy ...
