Oh how I long for the simplicity of previous Beyonwiz models. Or I am stupid. Probably the latter. I have looked at the V2 Manual as above, and alas no luck. Here is the problem - The V2 has been left running for some time on say on SBS HD. I see on the TV the program running and think "that lo...

ciscus

Great GG.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Regards, Ciscus

ciscus

Thanks GG.

These are recordings made on V2 and DP-S1, which I then edit (eliminating adds) using VideoReDo.

ciscus

Hello. I have an annoying problem with recordings being viewed stopping just before the end of the recording. The whole show is in the USB, but just before the end of the recording it stops and reverts to the Directory. The whole show is there, because with a lot of fiddling I can watch it to the en...

ciscus

Thanks Mr Q.

Tried it with success.

Hello. I don't know if I should post a "new topic" on this but I've searched and find nothing. I need to sharpen my searching skills. Let me state my position: Old beyonwiz eg DP-S1 is on, but not recording. I am watching a show and think "gee I'd like to keep this". I press the ...

ciscus

Hi.

Thank you.

There was no shipping information with the consignment so I was unaware that BW knew the part was missing.

Anyway I told them I no longer wanted it and they are giving me a refund.

Thanks for your reply,

Ciscus

ciscus

Wow, I'm impressed once again.

You are very knowledgeable Mr Q.

Thanks again, Ciscus

ciscus

Hi Peter. Example: AV Settings I use HDMI Now should I put it in AUTO or NOT If NOT What mode should I use 1080i 1080p or 2160p My TV is 4K 3840 X 2160 resolution REFRESH RATE should I use 50 60 or MULTI They are not really my preferences but are probably linked to my Samsung TV capability. Also I u...

Hi. I have been trying to contact Beyonwiz for several days now. I am getting no response at all. Three emails over several days and some phone calls going to voicemail, and thats it. NOTHING. Very disappointed. Not the usual BW response. BTW - subject matter to Beyonwiz was their non existent shipp...

ciscus

Thank you all for your help.

I will work on this and keep you informed.

Regards Ciscus

By the way, is there anywhere that I can find the ideal settings for the V2?

Sometimes I'm not sure which setting I should use.

Thanks again

ciscus

Thanks for your reply. You are correct. The V2 is linked to a 4K (3840X2160) Samsung TV, whilst the download to the USB is on a lower resolution computer and screen using Videoredo as my program. But using my old DP-S1, and Wiz_FX converter and then Videoredo I got a noticeably better picture on my ...

ciscus

Thank you again.

The BW V2 is perfectly good through the TV which is a 4K 100Hz

It is when I copy to a USB that I lose brightness. All else is good.

ciscus

Thanks to all.

I have a 4K TV. Resolution 3840X2160. Picture through BW V2 is great.
Trouble is I copy the file onto a USB and download onto my computer and I loose picture brightness.
This never happened on my DP-S1.

What am I doing wrong?

ciscus

I recently purchased a V2.

I have copied files onto a USB but find the picture quality is not as good as it was on the DP-S1 or my T2.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

ciscus

Greetings. As a delighted Beyonwiz user for many years, my DP-S1 has given up and now needs to be replaced. So I'm looking at the V2 with a 4TB HDD and a quad tuner. I think that's all the options I need. My problem is that the reviews on this product have not been great. Is there anyone willing to ...

ciscus

Thank you. I have not tried swapping to the DP-Lite. I suspect it would make no difference. TV Likewise. Transmission is via a HDMI cable. I was using playback of a recording. The TV screen went black. A few minutes later it started screening again. I do not know if it was from the same position. Pe...

ciscus

Thanks Ian.

Have done so. Now have to sit it out.

Thanks again Ciscus

ciscus

Hello. Happy New Year to all. Hope I am in the right topic area. I have a little problem with my DP-S1. Sometimes when using playback of recording my TV screen suddenly goes blank. The window on the BW is still on and does not indicate a problem. After a few minutes, suddenly the BW wakes up and beg...

ciscus

To Simon Casey

Thank you. The DP-Lite is not connected. I was not aware that it had wireless capability.

To Celicasx - Thanks I am not running Windows 10.

Thanks for your inputs.

ciscus

Ok Ian.

I'll give that a try. Need to buy some lengthy cables first.

Thanks Ciscus

ciscus

Thanks for your reply. I consider the incorrect recording to be a one off (until it recurs). Sav (I think) suggested I put my Clock in Network mode as a better alternative. But the WIFI is not working and I can't get WizTV, I thought if I could get the WIFI working, at least those problems would be ...

ciscus

Thanks gents. I have contacted iiNet who advise that they cannot find a problem and that I should contact Beyonwiz. I looked up the Whirlpool Forum and they say that connecting to the DP-S1 is a known problem and could relate to the WIFI card. In fact it looks like a number of DP-S1 users have given...

ciscus

You are correct. I do seem to have a problem with my Network settings. My ISP is iiNet using a Boblite modem. Internet settings on my BW DP-S1 are Network Device W-LAN DHCP Disable IP Address down to Network Name all appear to be OK Ntetwork Type Infrastructure Authentication Type WPAPSK Encryption ...

ciscus

Yes,

But wireless using a iinet Bob Router

Thanks again. I have now set the DP-S1 in Network mode.

Many Thanks Peter.

Over and out.

Hi Mr Quade. Thanks for your inputs. Yes, the unit was off but in standby mode. I do at least one recording daily and the program always starts at the correct time, which indicates the clock is running on time. I have the clock set in AUTO mode. Is this the best to use or should I use NETWORK mode? ...

ciscus

Thanks Gully. The time is set using AUTO mode. I recorded two shows on the DP Lite on the same day, about 2 hours apart. Only the Ex-PM program recorded incorrectly. The Thick of It was fine. I also recorded the same program on my DP-S1. Thanks again. If no-one has ever struck this problem before th...

ciscus

Thanks to all. Gully, please advise correct location. I always get confused by this. To others: Yes I did adjust for daylight saving. I set the recording up for one hour - the recording started 31 minutes late and then ran to the correct end time. I cannot see anything that may have caused it to sta...

ciscus

Thanks again.

This machine used was a DP Lite.

I have two DP-S1 and one DP Lite.

I need to update my profile.

Hope you can help me.

Best wishes

ciscus

Thanks for the very fast reply. I do not know what Autotimers are or how to use. I used the regular EPG timer and the show did not start late. I fact I set the timer to record for one hour and I only got 25 minutes of recording. The show started on time and recorded correctly on my second backup Bey...

ciscus

Last night I scheduled two programs about 2 hours apart on Channel 2. The First was The Ex-PM, the second was The Thick of It. I scheduled these programs with 15 minutes padding start and end. The Ex-PM started 25 minutes after the scheduled start time, so I missed the first 15 minutes. The second p...

ciscus

Hi Ian. Sorry to be slow getting back to you. Have to refresh my use of mediainfo and will get back when I have this information. There is no rush. Can I ask another question while I'm here. Is it possible to connect headphones to my Beyonwiz. I would like to use cordless headphones if that's possib...

Thanks Ian. Yes, I appear to have the correct settings. All other files play fine.

Thanks to all who assisted me. Here is a script for getting Wiz FX to run on Windows 8 1) Load WizFX onto Windows 8 computer 2) Right click WizFX icon on go to properties 3) Click on Compatibility Tab 4) Tick "run this program in compatibility mode for _ _ _ (I used Windows XP) 5) Tick "Re...

ciscus

Many thanks to all.

I did get WizFX to work in compatibility mode.

Appreciate all your helpwhich led me in the right direction.

ciscus

Thanks for your help, but I still can't get WizFX to run on Windows 8. Turned off firewall and security - no difference - still can't run it. WizFX starts OK, I enter the WizFX file name and press "Change TS File". It flashes up for a second, does nothing and then I get a message Access vi...

ciscus

Hi All.

Having trouble running WizFX on a Windows 8 platform.

Does anyone know if it works and if yes, what is the best place to download.

Thanks in advance

ciscus

Hello All.

I really appreciate all your help on this.

I may be stupid but I cannot understand why the BW can't it pick up the correct time from the ISP?

My phone seems to handle this OK as does my computer.

Thanks again,

ciscus

Thanks Madmax. What you say makes sense. I always thought that the EPG cache was updated automatically. How frequently is the EPG refereshed? This is totally off topic but I thought I'd throw it in. I have always wondered with the EPG the program shows that it starts for example at 8:32 whilst the A...

ciscus

Hi,

Don't know if this will help, but why not download Freemake Video Converter and comvert the .avi to an mpeg or mp4 file format.

This program is excellent (albeit slow). You can convert multiple avi files. Do it overnight and by morning it should be complete.

Good Luck

ciscus

Thanks for the notification.

I have a DP-S1. I am amazed that the firmware (or software) on this unit cannot be written to automatically correct for daylight saving.

My computer does it, my mobile phone does it, why not the Beyonwiz?

ciscus

Thanks "Netmask"

Downloaded the program you suggested and remuxed the file.

I did not use the time offset mode, but somehow it seemed to fix my problem. Don't understand why, but there it is.

Again, many thanks.

ciscus

Thanks for that bit of info. So here is what MediaInfo shows: (Hope this means something to someone General Complete name : G:\Deleted.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Codec ID : isom File size : 2.46 GiB Duration : 1h 54mn Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 3 083 Kbp...
