Thanks Peter

I just got the email from Icetv regarding Ver 2 and eagerly look forward to installing it tonight.

I've been having fairly persistent trouble with iceguide that has meant I turn it off half the time - I really want to stick with it (because I've paid but also because when it works its a brilliant tool) but I'd like to feel as though I'm getting some support and encouragement from the icetv team. For instance, I notice that there is some sort of new topfield software on your download site "iceguide4topfield setup program" dated 12 May 05. But when I download it, it identifes as ver 1.7.0.0 (my original version is v1.72) - so is this new or what?

A little communication about releases - planned updates, fix schedules etc.. would be greatly appreciated (and make me feel a lot better about spending money on a process that works properly less than half the time) - I note from the forum stats that there are only 62 members. It can't be that hard to keep us in the loop, which brings me back to the original question

What about this new?? software - should I be downloading it - what does it do - why weren't we told about it if it is new?

Just remember guys, as early adopters we are also early spruikers - I've personally initiated more than a dozen new Toppy owners and would love to do the same for icetv - I'm not a technical guru, I just love my gadgets so I can only recommend something that I can claim gives a completely hassle free experience.

???

Sorry for getting back to you so late, especially after my initial exasperated email.

I have been away from my system for a few days and am only now able to collect the data you requested to analyse the problem.

My Toppy Firmware version is Dec 06, 2004

My ICE EPG Loader Build is 0331.1432

My Iceguide 4 Topfield PC software version is V1.72

I run no other TAP's on the Toppy

As I mentioned, I can download from the ICE server and the little blue bar moves along satisfactorily (I have it set to download to the PVR automatically with the fetch)

but when all is done and I turn it off, there is no data in my epg on the Toppy screens (not even the free to air data)

Are you suggetsing I have a firmware problem or a version problem?

What should I do?  ???

I've been reluctant to mention this - waiting for someone else to volunteer their problem but I'll jump in and tell someone that I can't get ice tv to work.

I loaded it and ran it for about a week and was mildly happy with the result, (although I was annoyed at the delayed button response and the disappointingly slow start-up sequence - not to mention the very annoying screen that comes up every time you hit the exit button) [boy this is sounding more like a whinge with every word]  but none of that compares to the fact that for the last two weeks I get no epg data whenever icetv is turned on.

Is it just me? - has the system crashed and noone is telling us? I am one of the early adopters who happily paid the full dollars and I'm wanting to know what the hell is going on.
