General Discussions / Support Form

Does the support form from the homepage still work?

I submitted a support request a few days ago and haven't heard back?

I have a show on tonight that hasn't changed from a donut to a solid circle.  Everything else for today has.

If it was a timer clash with a yellow exclamation mark I could click on it and select 'reschedule recording' to have it resend the timer.

But I don't seem to have that option for a red donut?  Is deleting the recording, waiting 30 minutes for it go through, then rescheduling the recording the only way to resend for a single recording?

Beyonwiz / Good time to buy?
April 13, 2011, 02:09:26 PM
My topfield has started acting up and I'm thinking of jumping to a different brand.

Is it a good time to buy a Beyonwiz DP-P2?  That is, is it still a good product that isn't at the end of its supported life?

Topfield / TF7100HD PLUS
February 09, 2011, 10:03:02 PM
Just got the email about the IceTV Valentine sale.  Saw they had the 7100HD Plus.  I vaguely remember hearing about the plus, but at the time I thought it was just the 7100 with a bigger hard drive.  Is it actually a different piece of hardware to the 7100?

Sorry if this has been discussed, I tried search and it found nothing.

What is the purpose of the 'record x per day' option under series options.  Is it only to stop repeats that appear on the same day?

If a show has 2 episodes back to back and I've selected 1 per day, will it only record one of them?

What should I be checking when all of a sudden the wrong channel is being recorded?

I'm trying to record Big Bang Theory on Go!, but it's recording 7HD instead.  It was working fine till the last week.

When I look in the timer schedule on my topfield 7100 it is very clearly setting itself up to record the wrong channel.

I've looked at the LCN settings on the account page and both 7 and Go! are set to 'all' in the lcn column.  I tried setting Go! it to 88, which is what the channel is here, deleting the timers and resending but it still went to 7.

When I look at the lcn mapping on the device, Go! is set to QLD regional Go!, (something like that).

To the best of my knowledge I have not changed anything on the device or in my account for the last few weeks.

The problem is I don't really understand LCN's so I'm not sure what else I should be doing.

I'm a bit confused over what the point of Favourites is.  I had House down as a favourite and a series record.  But I just found out that I missed an episode because House was off the air long enough for the series record to lapse.

Thinking it was a bug, I posted to tech support only to find this was normal behaviour.  So could someone tell me what the point of favourites is?

If I'm reading it right, I'm supposed to go to Interactive on a regular basis to see if any of my favourites have come back on the air and then set up a series record at that time?  Is this what favourites are for?

I originally thought that favourites was to set-and-forget your favourite show so that they would always be recorded.  Even if they had been off the air for awhile.

Is there anyway to make it so that you only have to tell IceTV about your favourite shows to always record once and not have to go back and check?

Hi.  I just bought the 7100 yesterday and I'm trying to get the hang of it and icetv.

I set my wife loose on the interactive page last night and she had some issues.  Everything seemed to work ok except for 'scrubs'.

Despite adding it as a favourite and trying to set the series options (first run and repeats, any channel etc) it doesn't seem to set them to record.  We ended up having to search them manually and record each one individually.

I noticed they are showing repeats over several different channels.  Am I doing something wrong?
