I just further tested the bluey mark 2 on both a U4 and a T2. Interesting and disappointing results.......... Both the R820T blackie and the R820T2 buley mark 1 work fine on both boxes. It seems that the bluey Mark 2 may have poorer noise rejection. Mine has a Quality score of 35% against 90% on th...

Mork

Yep, do that to check, as the boxes have differences. Does your Bluey mark 2 (R828D) work on the V2? HI I have attached U4 messages files for both the new (Bad) BlueStick ("RTL2832U R828D SDR RTL-SDR A300U") and the Old (Good) BlueStick ("DVB-T+FM+DAB 820T2 & SDR") that came...

I didn't see your edit until now.

If you want I can pop the stick back on the U4 and get another messages file. I thought it was the same as the bluestick tuner I got with the V2.

Mork

Mr Grumpy, thanks for the suggestion. I did a bit more investigation and swapped the "BlueStick" Tuner from my V2 into the U4 and Tuner D on the U4 came to life. (With the existing pigtail). - So Pigtails are not an issue here. Interestingly the Internal tuners on the U4 have a S/Q of abou...

Mork

He Wiz team. I received my replacement Tuner today, and it did not resolve my problem. Exactly same behaviour as before. I have plugged the replacement unit into all of the 3 USB ports and still not working. (I do this with the Wiz powered off) What I am seeing is that Tuner D has no video or audio ...

Ok..

So this looks right.

My U4 USB Tuner has gone belly up - I am on the Beta Channel, so I presume looking at all the posts above, this should work fine:

Today Mork got Minty's V2. I confirmed that the unit was in a boot loop as described. Initially I flashed with the latest Beta Firmware, but still the same issue. I then noticed that in the boot log displayed on the screen, that there was a problem with the timeshift folder, so I put the HDD on a PC...

Mork

HI all - I spoke to Minty. (Who is a relative of mine that I have recommended Wiz's to in the past, including this one). This V2 has never been connected to a network, and was installed as-is out of the box, with the external HDD supplied by Beyonwiz a few months ago. (Around the same time I bought ...

Mork

Thanks Mr Grumpy.

It took me a while to find that setting, but will see it it fixes it.

Mork

@Grumpy_Geoff. Sorry I missed your request. I have attached timer files for both devices. The duplication only appears in the timerlist a couple of days out from the recording start. The issue only seems to happen on Ch10, and is seen on both my U4 and V2 recorders. The U4 file shows the duplication...

Mork

Today, both my U4 and my V2 independently created duplicate recordings on 10HD ("The Project" on the U4 and "Bold an the Beautiful" on the V2). It could be something to do with the 10HD EPG Stream that impacts V19.4 Firmware versions. The Uniqueness flag made no difference here. ...

Mork

Screenshot of duplicate recording off a single Autotimer. Note different durations..

Mork

I am occasionally seeing some Autotimers creating two identical recordings. Not a big problem, but somewhat annoying. Anecdotally it only seems to happen when recording 10HD,but that could be coincidence. I have seen this on both my V2, and now on my U4 after applying the latest update. Was not appa...

Mork

Thanks,

Maybe sometime there will be a fix. Not a big issue.

Mork

@Mr Quade. Typical SSD's will be good for around 100,000 write cycles per cell. The wear levelling will generally keep the average per cell well below that over the lifetime of an SSD. If the activity I observed is a write, then that is 86,400 a day. If the activity is writing lots of data, and give...

Mork

A question - probably for the Wiz Developers. When in standby (And not recording), I can see that the my external drive (USB3 500GB SSD) is being access periodically once every second. I only notice this because at night I get a flashing blue light every second. It looks like a single read or write ...

Mork

I am loving my new V2, and it is working flawlessly, however I have noticed what appears to be a minor issue with the Strength and Quality bars on the two internal tuners. Tuners A and B show around 50% Strength and 0% quality, but Tuner C (Single channel Dongle) shows 92% strength and 100% Quality....

Mork

Thanks everyone. It's great to be back in this forum and see so much help being offered. I was going to set up the pre padding differently as a potential mitigation for a race condition anyway. When I get the box and set all this up I will test out a few use cases and report back with any problems. ...

Mork

My last DP Series (DP-Lite) is getting unstable, I am sure it is probably just old electrolytics, but I thought I would upgrade to a V2, so have just ordered one (Triple Tuner, no HDD). My attention now turns to the V2. (I have a U4 in our main room) I have a spare 500GB SDD that I could task to the...

Edit: Note what my zap timers did to the size of ‘timers.xml’ .

Thanks for the hint, I have changed the Zap timers to record and sent to trash.

Not sure what the reference is to timers.xml size is about, but I habe cleared the log files on these if that is what are referring to.

Mork

Hi Wizzers... I am sure there must be a post on this, but I can't find it. I have 6 Zap Timers set up to execute 4 mins apart at 2AM each night to populate the EPG. About every 2 to 3 weeks, I start getting Autotimer errors, and when I look at these "EPG Zap Timers", they have all been res...

Mork

Yes, there are a *lot* of things to fix when the end of a timeshift buffer is encountered. It's been a longstanding annoyance from the T series days as well. I do appreciate that there may be quite a few issues here, but having observed this impacting a couple of others in the "Family", t...

Mork

@prl - Thanks a million. I was wondering if the Webif Bouquet Editor was a way to fix my issue for now. (And yes - I did forget about 3 being SBS in the original LCN list, I was working from memory which may have suffered some red-wine initiated neuron loss :? ) . At least all this did find the issu...

He just saying that the channels no longer line up with their proper LCNs, instead they show up "in sequence" with some numbers missing (because of the spaces). I don't think there is any need to chase that line of thought. Yes. Was.. 2 - ABC 7 - Seven 9 - Nine 10 - Ten 11 - 10 Peach 12 -...

Mork

I tried this, and apart from the expected effect of it losing the correct LCN-like numbering, the Terrestrial TV LCN was just fine. All the channels remained numbered. And Hic sunt dracones isn't actually a useful description of a problem. Never said the numbers were not there, just said the LCN nu...

Mork

Peter,

I have made quite a few changes since my last backup, so wont restore that.

This is not a particularly serious issue for me, so happy to wait until you release your next build. As I am on the beta ring, happy to test and post back when you release it.

Thanks.

Mork

Oh wait a minute! I was going have a go at what you did with removing some services and then re-scanning, so in preparation I was about to take a copy of my scan files. I saw that the Last Scanned bouquet had been updated with '7food network' but that the Terrestrial TV LCN bouquet hadn't. BAM!!!! ...

In a Manual scan -

With a Location scan it is always on (as is 'Clear before scan').

Yes definitely enabled here on Manual Scan (As well as "Clear Before Scan")

Mork

Have you got 'Network scan' enabled? You need it, as a part of that scan process is to extract LCNs which make their way into file lcndb which itself is subsequently used to update Terrestrial TV LCN bouquet - as long as one finishes the scan with GREEN or OK (as I previously mentioned). Where is t...

Mork

I want to try to replicate the problem. Are you able to remember exactly what you did to get into this state (e.g. did you delete the channels via Open Webif or from the Beyonwiz's own UI)? Now LCN is no longer displaying. (back to sequence with missing numbers). Can you describe this in more detai...

Mork

Yes, I originally tied location (Melbourne) , also Australia, You said you did a "Manual scan" though. "Location scan" is a different option in the setup menu. It is somewhat confusing since you can also select a location from within the "Manual scan" option. OK, let m...

Mork

Hmm. I have done manual scans, Melbourne location, and full Australia, hit green OK, and still Terrestrial TV is missing the channels I deleted. You want "Location scan", not "Manual scan". The web interface shows the missing numbers with blank names and a (S) on the right of th...

Mork

I tried a rescan, (and also a reload services) but the channels I deleted still did not repopulate to the Terestrial Tv LCN list. Last scanned has all the services though.

To maintain LCN numbering, you must edit the Favourites bouquet using the Wiz's web interface.

Quick, slightly off topic question. Is the T series script to enable beta test updates applicable to the U4?

Yep.

Thanks, I was very active in the DP-S1 beta programme a "few" years back, so am keen to get on board to test and improve my new U4.

Mork

Quick, slightly off topic question. Is the T series script to enable beta test updates applicable to the U4?

Mork

Apologies if this has already been reported, but I have noticed that if in timeshift (or playing an active recording) if you skip past the remaining time, the image freezes. Eg, in my case I have programmed up arrow to skip forward 180s. If I am running say 60s behind real time, a skip 180 causes th...

Mork

Is there a setting to enable LiveTV timeshift to use an active recording? No. If not a very good feature to add (back in) There's no "back in". The T and U series firmware is unrelated to the firmware that ran in the DP series. I don't think it would be particularly easy to fulfill the re...

Mork

I have just swapped out my trusty and overall awesome DP-S1 for a new U4. And am still learning the new UI. In the DP Series, if an timer recording was active, and you were tuned to the same station in LiveTV, the timeshift function would be able to take you back to the start of the recording with t...

Thanks all. I suspected that a 7200RPM wasn't probably needed, (I was thinking worst-case of 4 recordings, 1 playbacks via wiz, 1 playback via Share) and an SSD would be a waste of $$$ but it is good to be sure. BTW. Seagate have released a 5TB 2.5" drive - ST5000LM000. (Not that I would get it...

Team. What is not clear here is if a high performance disk (Eg 7200 RPM) is required or is a 5400 RPM Drive is OK. Looking at the Seagate Range, here are some options, But what is recommended? .

Just an update.. This issue cleared d up a few days later. Ch 7 Melbourne must have fixed up their EPG.

Mork

Tonight I have discovered a problem where the Channel 7 (Melbourne) EPG is breaking the EPG on my DP-S1 and DP-Lite. (Using FTA EPG) I have a view timer that executes each night at 3AM that scans all channels, so the EPG is updated, But from tonight, he EPG comes up as blank for all channels once yo...

The T3 looks like an awesome device.

Any chance of getting to see the full specs and a user manual?
