Topfield / Re: Firmware Update

I upgraded my unit today and I'm finding the time shifting / drifting a lot on the EPG program items but it is fine on the STB itself.

After pushing the EPG the times are correct. After a minute or so they drift by a minute and then become progressively worse.

Any ideas?

How can I downgrade?

I only understood the timer padding to pad the end of the recording. Is this the case?

Topfield / Re: Record 1 channel and watch another

Yeah, not sure what's up, but check your tuners setup.

I watch a recording while recording two shows, or watch one channel while recording it and another pretty regularly.

Done.

Step 1: Set up IP address on wired side port within eth0 script located at /etc/init.d
Step 2: Set up IP forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward within /etc/init.d/rcS
Step 3: Connect outside port to inside ports using a short ethernet cable (Cross over or straight through. Ports appear to be auto sensing)

Now the box will route from the wired to wireless sides with ease.

I've managed to get my Ice router to use the wired and wireless interfaces simultaneously and to route between them.

I'm now running my Xbox on the wired segment, and using the wireless interface to route back to my access point and the remainder of my home network.

Eth0 on the router is where the Xbox is connected, and it can now reach the internet over the same router that the Toppy updates its EPG from.

I'm not sure what the state of the hub/switch ports on the back of the unit are at the moment, or whether I can activate them. I will investigate further and report back.

The underlying Ice router linux distro isn't too hard to navigate or "adjust".

Shouldn't be too long before someone puts together a page that allows you to tweak the IP forwarding, as well as wireless settings and routing table to give you a lot more control over these routers.

I have noticed that there is a fully functional SSH v2 server running on the IceTV enabled NetGear router.

What are the user credentials for this?

Are they documented anywhere?

Thank you, all sorted.

Topfield / All EPG items 2 minutes late
October 02, 2005, 10:17:21 AM
I seem to have a strange situation on my Masterpiece PVR in that all of the items in the IceTV EPG are all scheduled 2 minutes later than the time they should be.

Eg shows scheduled for 8pm - 8:30pm are set up to start at 8:02pm and finish at 8:02pm.

This is the same across all channels.

I have updated the EPG and also restarted the PVR, all to no avail.

Any ideas / reasons as to why this may be the case?

I remember a while back seeing mention of the following functions:
Ice Hush
Ice Nanny
Ice Surf
Ice Skip
Ice AD

Are these still on the drawing board or have they been deemed too hard to implement? I can't find mention of them on the website anywhere.

So what Ice have effectively done is knobble a quite useful product and turned it into an application specific gateway?

Why would providing the ability to reflash the unit back to a NetGear image be too tough to provide?

I've seen Optus make this possible with dumber devices (DLink DSL300), where they just replaced the web front end for the box, but left the original content available so if you knew the right URLs you could still access the material.

I've just bought a Netgear WGT634U through one of our distributors to have a tinker with. They seem to have 40 odd of these in stock still, wholesale buy price is about $155.

I'll see how it goes with the Toppie, but I'm less than impressed about having to run a separate bridge in the lounge room for the XBox, PS2 and my receiver, when this NetGear unit could have done the job of both units.

We don't need the routing functionality on the unit, just bridging the LAN ports to the wireless interface would have more than sufficed.

Hopefully this stuff will get ironed out when / if a dev kit for this gets released.
