Hi, Lisa. I can see The Hunting Party in New Shows, but not Madam. Web IceTV guide for the ACT.

IceTV EPG Content / Homeland S3E8 is a repeat
January 29, 2025, 09:34:47 AM
Homeland, 'A Red Wheel Barrow', SBS VICELAND HD, 11:30pm (S3E8) is a repeat, but is listed as first run in the IceGuide. S3E7 and S3E9, which are also being shown this week, are correctly marked as repeats.

ACT region.

Thanks, Gai. It looks good now.

There are three showings of Rick Stein And The Japanese Ambassador listed on the IceTV guide, on SBS Food at 5:30pm, Sun, 19 Jan, 2:30am, Mon, 20 Jan and 7:30am, Mon, 20 Jan.

They are all marked as new shows and as part of a series, but I'm pretty sure that the show has aired before (we already had an IceTV first runs only recording set for it from when it showed previously), and according to IMDb, it's a 1-hour telemovie, not a series.

The SBS online EPG is no help, because it doesn't mark things as series or as repeats any more.

Thanks, Tiphanee. It looks good now.

IceTV EPG Content / Call The Midwife S5E10 - Repeat?
January 09, 2025, 09:43:34 AM
Call The Midwife 'Series 5, Episode 10' 7TWO on Prime, 7:30pm, Tue, 14 Jan

Surely this is a repeat? The last season of Call The Midwife that was shown on the ABC was season 12.

Beyonwiz / Re: Beyonwiz T4 - Errors after 1/1/2025
January 04, 2025, 11:36:19 AM
The most common cause of hardware problems on a T4 is failure of the voltage regulators that feed the tuners. They can overheat, and break down the thermal cement that attaches their heat sinks. The breakdown products of the thermal cement can etch away printed circuit board tracks under and near the voltage regulators, causing failures of other parts of the PVR, not just the tuners that the regulators supply.

If that is the problem, further use of the T4 can continue the damage process.

The damage is often repairable, and if the heat sinks are replaced by a more appropriate arrangement, this T4 problem can be more-or-less made to go away, provided any damage to the PC bpard can be fixed.

The only place I know of that does Beyonwiz hardware repairs is Nasa Electronics in Sydney (https://www.nasaelectronics.com.au/). They can probably advise you about whether it's likely to be a hardware problem, and whether you should get the heat sinks replaced with a better arrangement, even if they're not causing problems yet.

It's also generally a good idea to change the T4's fan settings so that the fan runs in standby - almost everything in a T4 (and other Beyonwizes) is running in standby, except for the A/V output and the HDD (if not recording).

Quote from: MD on January 03, 2025, 12:39:36 PMad skipping software ... cannot ... be added to any Beyonwiz T/U/V series

That is correct. There is no ad-skipping software available for Beyonwiz. Ads can be edited out, but IMO that's only really useful for something you want to watch more than once.

Hi, Gai. Whatever you did also fixed the same problem for ABC News in the ACT region.

Thanks.

Fixed now in the ACT. Thanks!

I got the IceTV What's On This Weekend early this morning, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the weekend in Recommended in my iOS app. ACT Guide.

Any ideas?

IceTV EPG Content / Re: The Forest - ABC 8:30pm tonight
December 16, 2024, 12:50:43 PM
It set the timer for me for Wednesday, that's why I thought that's when it was (first) on. It wasn't set as a deferred timer because of a timer clash, and the timer was set this morning, well before today's run of the program is to be aired.

Apologies for the confusion.

The iPhone IceTV app's Recommended screen still shows the incorrect description, and also says that The Forest is on on today, Monday, when it's actually showing on Wednesday.

That's fairly new, then, though I haven't looked at it for quite a while.
