G'day,

All of a sudden I am getting the BBC News at Six recorded.

I have never done an immediate recording of it and I have never setup a series recording or a once off recording of it either.

When I check with the iOS app or on the web, there is no timer to delete. It kooks as though when the first IceTV fetch of the day is done IceTV is setting.

There is something similar happening with Pointless. Here I do have a series recording for new and repeats, but as I understand it, an episode will not be recorded if it has been recorded in the last 24 hours.

This is fine as the program is recorded at 2 pm. This should mean that episode should not be recorded until 2 pm the next day, only it gets recorded at 7:25 am the next day again.

With the BBC News at Six, I have no timer to delete.

With Pointless, I have deleted the timer, removed it as a favourite and then waited until the timer was deleted from the timer list and then waited an hour before I created a fresh timer and checked that the correct episodes were being selected, but the next day, it starts recording the duplicate.

Is there something I'm missing?

G'day,

Is there any way to have the default being subtitles on for all channels?

I have gone through Settings>Player>Subtitles but cannot find a setting to make it the default across all channels.

Is there a way to set it as a default setting?

Thanks.

G'day,

The Addams Family 30 minute episodes of the sitcom shows as a Movie in the IceTV Guide,

G'day,

I cannot get rid of How It's Made.

I have deleted the timers, but when I go to IceTV, there is no option to remove the timer or no longer make it a favourite. It keeps on recording episodes.

I have tried this on the iOS app and via the the web app.

G'day,

How long after a recording finishes should we try and play it?

This has to do with the ad skip function.

I recorded the World SBK round from the Netherlands on SBS. I gave it a couple of minutes after the program finished, but this was not long enough and no Ad Skip information was created.

Thanks.

G'day,

Something does not look quite right with the screen resolution on my IceBox.

No matter what resolution I select, it looks the same. From 640x480 through to 4K, the resolution looks the same.

The video signal goes from the IceBox via HDMI to my LG Smart TV.

My BW T2 feeds to another HDMI port and is crisp.

I have swapped HDMI ports on the TV and no change.

Is there something else that needs to be set as was needed to set pre/post padding?

I am setting the resolution using Settings>System>Display>Resolution.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

G'day,

I am having problems having my settings of 5 min Pre and 15 min of Post to stick.

I have set things in Settings>PVR & Live TV>Recording, snd the values of 5/15 are remembered.

I have also gone to Home>Add-Ons>IceTV>Advanced 5/15 set there and remembered.

Yet, when a new timer is set via IceTV, it defaults back to 3/30. I am set as Expert.

Does this need to be set anywhere else?

G'day,

After the latest update I have ended up with an unfortunate channel list. Its a bit like an alphabetically sorted keyboard instead of a QWERTY one.

It appears that rather than adhere to the channel list in the user's IceTV account, it tries to override that and assign a found channel and assign it because it detects a a stronger signal.

On my system I get the SBS and Channel 7 ones as in my IceTV account. Then it gets a bit freaky.
The rest of the channels are in the order as follows.

(100...) ABC HD
(100...) 10 Peach
(100...) ABC Me
(100...) ABC Kids
(100...) 9 Rush
(100...) 10 HD
(100...) 9 Go
(100...) 9 HD
(100...) ABC Plus
(100...) 10 Bold
(100...) 9 Gem
(100...) 9 Life
(100...) ABC News

Why (100...)?
Because that is now it presents and I cannot see any more.

Like the alphabetically sorted keyboard, a pain to use and difficult to work with.

Is there any way to restrict the channel numbering to what is set in the user's IceTV account? After all IceTV works perfectly well. I know that LCNs are old school, but on my Beyonwiz T2, I have manually edited bouquets and it would be getting on to close on a decade of use without any issues. Here the scan and match works perfectly for SBS and Channel but then does its own thing fir the rest.

Is there any way this can be edited manually, and if so, what are the steps?

Thanks.

G'day,

Is there any way of disabling the dimming; or at the very least extending the time interval?

Thanks.

Duelling Daredevils is being advertised for the weekend by SBS, but does not show in the EPG,

G'day,

I noticed this odd bit of missing information from the EPG on my T2 running IceTV.

Now, the attached image is via OpenWebIf, but you will see that instead of 10 Bold it shows <n/a>.

This also shows in the EPG on the T2.

So, my question is; Is this something that is being set by the information being sent by IceTV or something that has gone astray elsewhere?

I have never seen this before. I have rebooted the T2 a couple of times and forced a send of the EPG from the IceTV servers but no change. I even did a rescan, but no luck.

Any ideas?

G'day,

After getting my Beyonwiz T2 working, I decided to set it as the main PVR. Also, my IceBox was a little unreliable. As a result, I transferred the Ethernet cable from the IceBox back to the Beyonwiz.

No problem so far as both units functioned correctly, the T2 on Ethernet and the IB on  Wi-Fi.

Because of lock ups with the IB, I decided to do the 10+ hour removal of power, only now the IB cannot connect via Wi-Fi. There is no sound and no content other that had had been recorded, but no sound - even from the RCU movements.

How can I change the network connection settings? I have searched high and low but no luck. The settings shows the IP Address as 127.1.1.1 which is a local host pointer back to itself.

A Communications failed message pops up in the top right.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

G'day,

When I turned things on this morning, the 9 Network shows Channel 90 and then Channel 96.

I'm in Sydney and it should be showing a lot more. I am getting my IceBox to show All Channels.

Does this mean a soft reset or can I scan for just the 9 Network channels?

Thanks.

G'day,

All of a sudden, recordings of 7 network programs are scrambled. They break up and end up aborting.

The off thing is that when I have managed to get information, I see the length of the recording as correct at 1 hour, 20 minutes) but the counter shows it is at a point -9 hours, 17 minutes with the counter counting down.

Not sure what to do.

Can I rescan just the 7 network channels or should I do soft reset?

An issue with playing recordings with the new firmware update.

If you try and skip through the recording, then at some point instead of jumping ahead, you tet taken back to an arbitrary point and it starts playing back from there. If you let it be it will play through to the end. If you try and jump ahead again, it's back to where it previously jumped.

I was watching a 1 hour recording of the Indy 500 qualifying. At 37 minutes into it, I wanted to skip ahead and it took me back to 17 minutes.

Nothing like this happened before the update.

G'day,

After the update, the Home screen has changed.

It used to show current active recordings and the next recording to be started. That has now gone and I cannot find a way of getting that back. It was  very handy.

The other thing is in the Categories section the order used to be channels, guide, recordings, timers, timer rules.

Now it is Guide, Channels, recordings, timers, timer rules.

Not major, just got used to the previous layout.

It would great to get the now/next recordings back as they were.

G'day,

I have an IceBox and unfortunately the remote control is incredibly flakey. The worst buttons are the up, down, left, right buttons. The worst one is the right one. It can take dozens of presses to get one successful press, and even then it is a case of how the remote control is oriented and exactly how the button is pressed. I went through the update last night, followed by a soft reset and entering my email address and password was a whole new level of "fun". The remaining problems buttons are slowly getting worse. I find myself having to get more creative using just the up, down and left buttons, but it is only a matter of time before they also become temperamental as well.

I have a Harmony 650 and it has a default button map for Kodi. The unknown for me is the IR receiver. Which one do I need to get?

I know the commands sent should be correct, so it is a case of which one is supported by Jeos.

I have replaced the batteries but no change.

Any pointers / tips?

Thanks.

G'day,

Has anyone managed to get subtitles when playing a recording?

I have all the settings I can find set, but nothing.

Some of the searches say that OSDs are skin dependent. Could there be something in tvheadend that needs to be set that is stopping them from being saved in the first place?

G'day,

I had to do a soft reset to try and address an issue with the EPG, only now I have lost the channel numbers.

Before this reset, 10 HD was 10, 10 Peach was 11, ABC HD was 20, SBS HD was 30... you get the idea.

Now 10 Peach is 1, 10 HD is 4, ABC HD is 5, SBS HD is 9...

The broadcasters are grouped together, but the number matching the channel number has been lost.

Before the soft reset, I did not have to do anything to get the cumber to match the channel number. What has happened?

Is there anything that can be done through TVHeadEnd?

G'day, The EPG on my IceBox is showing no entries for 9, some of 10, and some of 7.

My account renewed on the 11th and no issues with payment, just no EPG content.

Is this because if the weather?

I also noticed the iPhone APP was not letting me enter or modify entries either.
