I have been using EyeTv software on an oder Mac for many years without an issue.
Yesterday when I went to do my regular update of guide and check for new recordings, I got message "Update failed, can"t connect to server".
Same thing this evening.
Is Ice TV still supporting that platform or is it an issue on my end?
Any help would be appreciated.

So, now that the replacement SSD's have been available and sent out, are users finding that it has been the "fix" for their bugs?
I watch these forums and have not seen any/much on how the IceBox is performing with the new drive installed.
Has it fixed most issues experienced by users? Or are there underlying Kodi problems?
Just would like to know before deciding on a purchase.

I have been following this for some time, have been putting off purchasing an Icebox until most bugs ironed out and the SSD issue was a major concern for me. It seemed to create various problems randomly for some and not others.
So I am pleased to hear that it has been addressed. I will hold off on a purchase until current users report on the performance of the new SSD install, or any issues not remedied by that (or caused?).
I noticed that in the store, the Icebox has sold out, "next shipment due end of September".
Will the new shipment boxes have the new SSD installed? And be running all updates?

Hi TimC, I have been following this thread since started, more out of interest and hoping to learn something along the way. I am not going to pretend I understand half the things discussed, I am in no way into coding and most of it is gibberish to me. I'll leave all that to the likes of those that know their stuff,.. and there seem to be a lot out there, makes me feel somewhat inadequate in my limited knowledge of such things.

I thought I might contribute this as a possible solution.
 You have mentioned that the HDMI Matrix allows you to access all media in different rooms, and that you have an Apple Tv in the setup.
If you are able to watch AppleTV content from those locations, have you tried Infuse on the AppleTV.
I use that to watch all recordings I have from my EyeTV device. I copy the recordings from the device to a folder on my serving iMac. It reads those files with no issue, even showing all description in the thumbnail when scrolling through the library. If it can work with EyeTv files, I don't see why it would not work with IceBox recordings. It reads all sub-folders and collates them into one that shows on the App.
Just a matter of pointing Infuse to any network attached device and choosing which folder to add to the library.
A simple interface with many settings/options available. Maybe try a free version to see if it works for you. I have the Pro but had no issues accessing any files with the free.
Just thought it might solve the issue of not being able to control those recordings with the RF remote, ..just use the Apple TV to do that.
Hope this is of some help.
 

If I order an IceBox now with tuners, will it ship with the latest firmware updates or will I need to do those myself?
Particularly the SSD boot issue.
I know some configuration is required, half the fun.
Been watching forum, help is there. Some of us are not too tech savvy.
Is it all good to go out of the box?

Thanks Lisa. I have just checked "Manage Series" and the name change is showing.
I thought I might have had to search again for the altered name, but no, the schedule I had under old name has carried over. And  by clicking "upcoming episodes", it returns as expected with no "Bad Request".
Thanks mutely again. Nbosti.

Hi Hati, A good work around? or persistent?
Just wondering if un-pairing then pairing the remote might be a way of updating the USB receiver as opposed to just unplug/re-plug.?
Other devices have ways of doing so, with certain  button pushes, contained in user manual PDF's.
I have no idea about whether the icebox/kodi/usb remote can do so, and would probably be reliant on the brand and model of USB receiver/remote.
Just a suggestion. Hope you can work it out.

Thanks aeb001,
I thought it might have been something to do with the naming.
Specifically the " % " tag. I am hoping that with the next series it will be changed in the IceTV data base as you suggested.
Just still confused as to why it was showing as queued/sent but upcoming episodes returned that message.
All episodes recorded, it is just the search in IceTV guide for "upcoming episodes" or for the show itself results in that.
Hopefully when a new season comes around, this can be addressed as per your suggestion.

To add to that if it helps,
the message reads "Bad Request" with a long underline and below nginx/1.20.2.
A search on "Bad Request 400" resulted in something like " a client error..." from Mozilla, among others that were obvious spam ways of "getting rid of a bad request".
Sorry no screen shot (beyond me), but the team should be able to work with that. I hope.

Thanks MD,
 I was aware of the other series, "The 100 club".
Not the same , as you mentioned.
I think the first season of "The 1% Club" has finished its  run. They were  advertising for casting on last episode.
It does not show on a search of 7's web page as upcoming. Other shows are scheduled in usual airing time(s), (it moved from Wednesdays to Mondays).
Regardless, as I said I was just curious as to why that message only appeared on this particular show.
If it helps, this only occurs on the web. My iPad app shows as any other program with no up coming episodes, "No items".

I have a series recording set for "The 1% Club" and all have recorded fine.
Since I first created this recording schedule when I click "upcoming episodes" ( either through "manage series" or a "TV guide" search, I get the message "400 Bad Request".
This happens even if the episode was showing in "my week" as scheduled. Before and after being sent.
I have not encountered this before, found it strange. Tested on numerous others  in "manage series" and the message never appears.
I'm posting out of curiosity as to why this happens. A data base error? I have no idea on these things so any enlightenment will help. Thanks.

Received an email alerting me to the increase of the monthly subscription cost on Thursday 01/06.
No problem with that at all. I'm happy to pay the extra dollar.
Thanks Colin (MD) for the heads up.
That you have found time to do so (even if automated) whilst the team is trying to solve any and all issues with the IceBox is appreciated.

Ha, good point.
My rooster had to be disposed of, waking me up at strange times, the nerve of him.
Seriously though, living in WA, with no daylight saving needed (nor wanted?) I am not in a position to state whether it has been an issue with any other PVR I have used. The Time Zone being the same across the whole state all year round.
I would hope that the underlying OS would adjust to that circumstance as others do, obtaining Time/Date from the network and adjusting internal clock as required.
The IceTV guide, from all forums I have read, is updated to adjust to those areas that have rooster eating times.So it should not be a problem.
Or is there a setting regarding Time/Date that needs to be set upon initial set up?
Any advice?

VideoRedo looks the goods, but it is no longer available.
It is also only supported on PC's, I am a Mac household so wouldn't suit me.
I remember that I had used other editing tools in the past, and searching through my old files have come across a few that might do the same thing.
I will have to wait and see once I have decided to purchase the Icebox.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Sorry, I should have posted this in the Icebox General Help section.
