All back to normal here as well hope thats the last of the problems.

IceTV have known that the topfield 2460 models have had problems with the firmware for ages
Now we find that there is another topfield firmware/ IceTV server problems.
Why are these topfield models recommended by IcerTV when you know theres problems with these units.
For the novice first time users of IceTv and PVR's it must be hell for them to understand.

YES Definately not happy with IceTV at the moment.
We had to convince IceTv that they had a problem after having them tell us everything was ok with the server.
Now they seem to go missing just like the EPG

Thanks for the confirmation it wasnt us Daniel , Hopefully we can get a warning when IceTV is upgraded next time

I have reset my network settings on my 2460 and can play Youtube videos on my 2460
Have checked user name and password for IceTV again.
But i cannot connect to the IceTV server so my conclusion is that Cannot connect to Server Server is not working.
Theres not much else that I can do or check.

Last EPG fetches:
22 February, 2012 at 12:12pm with Topfield TRF-2400 ( note that my device type is a 2460 dont know why it shows up as a 2400)

SERVERS ARE STILL DOWN

It would be good of IceTV to advise there customers that the servers are down. A note on the TV Guide page saying there are problems.
Letting customers manually set the timers so as not to miss any recordings that they have setup today.

Just tried Reset EPG data on the 2460 and still getting the "Cannot connect to server " message

Server is still down my 2460 cant connect to the server.
Web access and FTP to the 2460 works ok am using a wired lan.

Hi Ian, I tried resending the EPG but it still failed to pick up the ABC channels , tried waiting for a hour then resending them still no luck also tried turning the Topfield 2460 off and on again after 5 mins still no good.
I usually leave the 2460 on 24/7 but l turned it off overnight and when l turned it back on all the tv channels were there.

I was thinking it might be something to do with how much data gets sent and does the 2460 have a set limit of how much data it can keep.
Maybe the EPG is like the recordings that only have a set number of days are sent.
If IceTV only sent 3 or 4 days worth of EPG at a time it might cure this problem.
IceTV can tell how much data gets sent with the EPG at different times.

Ocassionally l loose all my channel two epg guide all the other channels come thru ok its just channel abc1 abc2 abc3 abc24 that arent working.
Has anyone else noticed this. I turned my 2460 on and off and resent the epg that worked the first few times but now it doesnt fix it unless i leave the 2460 off over night.
Whats happening with the new firmware upgrade that is suspose to be comming.
Topfield is allways saying its due out soon, soon = 6 months

To say that I a peeved is an understatement.

Ian

Ian would you ever recommend another Topfield Pvr or another brand. I love the Topfield when it's working properly and most of the time it is. But when shows are missed it pisses me right off. Checking and rechecking the guide and reservations is now a daily event.

Prl....As Ian was saying  "I think your problem is different to the one discussed in this thread (it only affects 7100+/2400/2460 running Nov 2011 firmware." and the problem is the same as I do have and am using the 2460

I know it's not IceTV fault or there problem and I also check out the iTopfield forum regularly,
With the latest firmware we waited for nearly a year for it and it is still not working properly.
I believe that if something is said to work it should work 100% of the time. The need to check EPG and timers daily is very annoying.
I found out that if I switch off all your power and lights at the main switch at the circuit breakers wait 2 hours and turn everything on again it works fine for that night.

Yeah it does affect me I'm using the TRF 2460 as well, sorry my profile was'nt upto date.
Thanks

Having the same problems too.
Plus now I find that I need to check if the series recording is a repeat or not.
I have missed shows that werent a repeat and that I had scheduled to record the series off.

Today I tried using mobile IceTv and set a timer for this afternoon.
When I got home l checked the TRF-2460 and the timer had'nt been set
The IceTV web site says my last fetch was 10 December, 2011 at 04:18pm with Topfield TRF-2400 (l'm using a TRF-2460)
The TRF-2460 is wired lan and on 24/7 does this mean with the new firmware that the topfield needs to be turned on and off daily.
There seem to be still some bugs with the latest firmware.
