I seem to remember my U4 doing this when it was new. I ended up having to swap it out for a newU4, as it just wouldn't boot.
Good luck!

I wonder if the Hauppage WINTV DualHD tuner might be a more solid option?

Either, I have both the standard tuner and the Bluey.

Wife is shooting sideways glances at me because her show is about to start recording, so I guess I'll have to pick up later.
Thanks so much for the help

OK, setting the USB tuner as preferred has caused massive picture breakup, and the red error message too. Interesting. This is with zero recordings being undertaken and only the USB tuner in use. Results are as below as per Grumpy Geoff's advice. Tuner Type: DVB-T Tuner Number: 3 Tuner Signal Qualit...

Set the USB as the preferred tuner and switch to it as advised.
Then open OpenWebif (http://beyonwizu4/), select Television >> Current. What's reported under the 'Tuner Signal' heading for SNR and BER?

I'll give this a go now.

Thanks

Hmmmmm not sure that will help. It only occurs when 1/ A,B and C tuners are being used for recordings. 2/ Tuner D (USB tuner) is being watched. If I stop one of the three active recordings and then view content using viewing tuner D, the issue is not there. In short the USB tuner is throwing errors ...

Is there a way to do this without a splitter as it needs to be using 3 services to record whilst viewing the USB tuner to recreate the issue?

I am using the latest firmware, updated last night via live update to pick up on the new picons, so 19.3?

Tuners are attached as per the user manual and yes Overlay HD.

The issue only occurs when viewing the channel being serviced by the USB tuner

After a bit of messing around I can report the following. 1/ It only does it when all four tuners are being used. Example is recordings on 7,9 and 10 and viewing on SBS or ABC. 2/ It is only present when the three tuners recording are the internal ones and the fourth tuner being watched is the USB t...

Hi all, My U4 has been displaying the below graphic in the last 2 days. I have never seen this before. https://i.ibb.co/273qX0j/6-CD22-F29-3-F13-4-FA1-B262-45-F6-B277-E6-DE.jpg The picture breaks up very badly, however I seem To have good signal level and quality? Does anyone know what this could me...

My manual timers have not updated according to DST. Any suggestions as to how to get them to update?

Auto timers seem ok

Cheers

It seems I'm getting update notifications almost daily?

Is this because you are uploading picons to the feed regularly...not that it's an issue.
Just curious.

Cheers

I reckon you nailed it! I did a channel scan (again) to ensure I picked up WIN. You were correct in assuming I has Enable multiple bouquets disabled. Once enabled I was able to locate the fresh scan of Sky News on Win and add it to my favourites. It must have overwritten the dodgy previous channel b...

No worries.
No rush.

Not sure if it is important, but I am also recording the tennis at the moment?

Thanks

Reference is N/A.
There is no image or sound. Only the picon.
Where the channel name should be shown only DVB service can be seen.

I am in Sydney, but can pick up Wollongong stations with a second antenna. I was picking up Sky News just fine previously.

My symptoms seem identical to the OP

Ok. Just got in. My U4 says 17.5 20190207

Hi,

I’ve been using Iansav feed, so it would be the last update that came through. I’ll have a look and confirm when I get in tonight.

Thanks

Current beta firmware I believe.

I believe I have the exact same issue, however in regards to Sky News on WIN. For the last week I have seen the same behaviour. I did nothing for this to occur. One day the EPG stopped populating for the channel and all I could see was the picon. I had assumed perhaps an issue with the service and h...

Order placed today for a Barebones U4 (My Trusty DP-S1 is starting to get unreliable with timers not starting, and EPG going crazy - Thanks to Ch 7 for that ). I'll pop down to MSY for a 2TB Disk on the weekend.

That's exactly what I did.

No issues with the drive at all.

I bought the bare bones and installed a Seagate 2TB drive myself.
I just bought the same model as is on the BW site.

Made sense to me, as I'd cracked open many a Topfield in my time

It’s back up again

Hi, Coming from a Topfield I found the ability to see a different colour for today's and tomorrow's timers to be really useful. An example is the TAP TMS Timer screenshot below. http://oztoppy.wdfiles.com/local--resized-images/tmstimer/TMSTimer.jpg/medium.jpg The Beyonwiz U4 timer list is quite smal...

Having just jumped ship from a Topfield 2400 to a U4, the learning curve was made far more easy due to the fact I have been using these remotes for years with my Toppy's.

It's the best Harmony I have used to date.

Just a heads up that JB has the above remote on special for the next 48 hours at $289.00!
That's a $160.00 discount.
