I renewed yesterday, expiry date is now 5 Dec 2015 and my T3 has connected successfully this morning, so I guess some of us are avoiding the glitches that others are encountering.

Kazz, do you have anything in "My Orders"?  Mine says I currently have no orders, so am wondering if my renewal go through

Where's my weeks grace gone? I've suddenly been cut off

Expired accounts are still active and will work for another week.

We found a bug that accidentally caused T series Beyonwiz PVRs and Skippas (and maybe Humax PVRs) to incorrectly expire immediately.

OK - so I got the same impression (being held to ransom by ICETV and my T3, so have renewed ... before I renewed it told me my account expired yesterday ... now it is telling me my account will expire on the 10th of November (in 5 days time) despite having just paid for one month with auto renew! ... WTF, shouldn't it be at least December or am I being charged for the period you guys were in administration?

It's not too late, you have 180 days with PayPal, and my calculations from May 25 it's not 180 days yet...

Mark

Paypal is 90 days I thought?

However I have slight issue with the price. I am fine to loose existing subscription; but the price going forward is too high. You know doubt will get us old subscribers signing up as we are so used to the system, but that price will never grow the business.

Anyway my two sents, but glad still alive

Agree ... $8.99/month can buy actual content nowadays, and you guys are only selling a glorified guide ... The value is questionable for the average user with 1 machine.

Might be throwing good money after bad mate ... Sounds like the real brains trust of the EPG have told them to stick it ... Understandable given management managed to leverage everyone out of work on a pipe dream paper weight called Skippa!

I don't know for sure, but I thought I noticed the possibility of saving recordings to a network location (ie:NAS) when dreading through the T3/4 settings?

...but it won't be that hard to convert them across to auto timers ...

Way you go - pop back and let us know when you've got it working as from what I've heard from experienced Wiz users achieving IceTV functionality through Auto Timers will not be easy.
As Michael Caton said it may be a case of "tell them they're dreaming"...

There just timers mate, not rocket science ... I've had a mix since I got the beyonwiz and ICETV screwed up my areas EPG anyway for all Win programming.

I will vote No. Once bitten twice shy. I'll get Netflix instead for that price.

Don't forget to include the cost of a higher data plan for Netflix. Also, if you want Netflix on multiple devices, it will also cost more than $8 per month.
You also won't get a lot of shows that are still on FTA.
Netflix has done a brilliant job of promoting itself but make sure you know what you will (and won't) get.

On iinet and westnet Netflix traffic is free 8D

Sorry @$7.99 someone is living in the previous decade ... That close to the close of a Netflix or Stan subscription and there is no way I am paying THAT much to access An online FTA Guide ... Half that perhaps but this is gouging loyal subscribers to cover their own incompetence!

the FTA guide and auto timers on the T3 are way better value this this proposed rip off!

I think it good value given the way I use my PVRs. It is the remote management of recordings that provides the greatest value to me, closely followed by knowing a transmission is a repeat or not. Just depends on what an individual values.

I have 1 pvr and always felt this multiple recorders was a con ... How many synchronous programs can you need to record anyway?  My T3 has 4 tuners and that is overkill.
Ice TV has been great to keep my timers organised, but it won't be that hard to convert them across to auto timers ... The only missing thing for me will be the occasional remote recording, but with all the free catch up services, who cares.

I really cannot see value in $8 per month ... $96 a year! Que Michael Caton: "Tell em their dreamin" there just ain't enough archivists, like those expressing the value proposition here, to make it work.

My prediction is they will require a year up front.... Service will decline ... Then they will bugger off with 3-6 months of the second bite you guys are going to pay them.

 If and when they do write off existing subscribers, one thing is sure from my perspective: I will not be sucked into a long subscription period again to simply facilitate the new owners running a similar scam, claiming poor and resetting the clock yet again.

What has happened here appears to be a Pondsey Scheme, conning longer and longer subscriptions whilst knowing all along there was little to no intention to fulfill them ... Then there was the ultimate scam grab distraction with the Skippa ... So new, we really don't know if it was all that was promised, or would ever be ... Upper management should be held accountable and jail terms should be on the table, as they knew they were trading while insolvent.

These who were really screwed are the staff ... Most, if not all if us can suck up a weeks lost pay or so (represented by the skipper and lost subscriptions) ... But these guys have lost much more than that and possibly entitlements such as sick leave, LSL, holiday pay and maybe even compulsory super that hasn't been paid.

Again, Managers heads please ... On pikes preferably.

I think there may be potential in monetizing the EPG itself through advertising ... At least on newer units running the ICE EPG.

This is the third time this month the ICE Program Guide has been empty despite doing a manual fetch - why?

Topfield 7100 and it also froze today .... 2 weeks ago someone quoted an ICE tech as saying it was an ICE EPG programming problem - can someone please explain this and what I can do (aside form canceling ICE) to fix it?

Frustrated!

<Bump>

Any ideas on this as I think I might need to do the same thing. The program info is available via the webpage, just not associated with 3 of my SD local channels.

I did this and I now have the HD program information, but nothing for most of the SD channels still (ABC1 and SBS1 have info, but not 7, 9 & 10 SD channels)
