I am overseas, so photos of the screen is difficult ;)
Luckily the T series Beyonwiz have a web interface.    Ignore the URL in my web page screen cap below here, I am doing some SSH port tunnelling as no matter what client I try, I cannot seem to get my router VPN working successfully, so using SSH with port mapping over the tunnel.  The URL in your house will be http://ip_address_of_beyonwiz  (or name like beyonwizt4 works I think, except I have 2xt4, I can set a name in the router thankfully).

So then it is just a matter of right click save image, very nifty!  You can edit bouquets, view EPG and other stuff too in the web interface, so very handy.  If you manage to get a decent router with good VPN suppport (not like my lousy Netgear DGND3700v2 which has something, but every client I have tried including the Netgear commercial one refuse to connect), then, with a public DNS (i used to use dyndns but they started charging, now using the router supported no-ip/ddns.net), then you can access your home network from a remote location securely.

And, checking my recordings, a bunch on Ten?
I am not sure if this is where timeshift is saved, I am os at the moment and my 10year old son is trying to learn to use the PVR, perhaps he kept saving the timeshift buffer and this might explain those?
edit:  actually, no, it is the shows Biggest Loser, Limitless and the F1, all on Ten Digital.

Found some, they are quite a way into the future though...  all on SBS2 10th Dec.
Guide is well and truly blank from 9th Dec.  Finishes around 8th Midnight.  See attachments.

But my older Samsung TV has an analogue scanner and a digital scanner, they are in kind of independent places in the menu structure (older M series, I haven't scanned that one in a while and is sitting in it's box at the moment, so this is going on distant memory from about 4 years ago or so since I last scanned it).

when you click on a show with a grey icon there is a "Record this episode" link below the synopsys, where it gives the reason for that episode not being set to record.

Ahh yes, well so there is, isn't in quite the obvious place like the other 5 options with little icons in front though (but I shouldn't have missed it since it is literally the text proceeding the other recording options).

It's not similar on the T4. The action to take at DST changeover on a T4 is ... nothing. As it should be.

No, I didn't mean that part being similar, I meant the removal of a timer on the Wiz GUI will also remove it from the ICE server part.  The reason I did it that way this year rather than the known  P2 "clear all timers" menu option was I was too lazy to rebuild my wake-up timer, an realised I could do it a different way with the LAN pull.   Anyway, that is partially off topic, the topic is about clearing timers from the GUI clearing them from ICE.   
Just to add (and it has been somewhat mentioned anyway), the resend all timers does nothing if you have told ICE you don't want to record something this week.  You have to go into each show (that will now I think have a "grey" dot) and click the option "schedule new recording" as a one off (since you already have the weekly/series recording event setup but by deleting the timer, told ICEtv "I don't want to record that episode this week").

1:Are all my timers for the Beyonwiz T4 lost? Hope not.
2:And also have noticed that at times certain programs are recorded not by name but by date. Is that an error in both the T4 and T3 or is it something to do with IceTV

1: yeah, I have had this before too, was always fun around DST when you change the PVR clock by an hour and delete all the timers to get them resent, if the PVR tells ICEtv that the timers have been deleted, ICEtv will also delete them for the week from the server.   I did a different trick this year which worked, I pulled out the PVR network connection and deleted the incorrect timers, powered the PVR down then up, then plugged in the network connection and resent from ICEtv account settings.   This was for a P2, presumably it will behave similarly for the T4.
2: this is being discussed on teh Beyonwiz forums a bit here: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=9721  and a lot more here:  http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9827 and I am sure somewhere else.  It looks like something the guys there are still getting to the bottom of, hopefully soon we will know 100% the cause.   It is suggested the timers are sent with no names, and the Wiz, if it has EPG for that time at the time, will name the timer automatically.   But this is only a bit of a guess, the evidence being that some people are finding blank in the EPG also around the time that the timer is set for.   I have had it once for Fargo a few weeks ago.   Strangely I have seen more than one entry in the timer list that don't have names, but so far, only one recording without a name, so it does seem like the Wiz will eventually pick up a name for the timer (hmm, is it perhaps once you do a full restart rather than the quick standby?)

You guys need to delete GEM (not 9GEM) from your channels list and see if this helps? I had some quirks also, but don't have any timers on 9HD at the moment to see if there are any more probs (the EPG seems like it is right).

argh, same problem here, I am overseas (again) and this time setup an SSH way of getting into my house network, can see through the OpenWebIF & screen grabs that it starts 22mins into the recording (with 2mins pre, 20mins post padding)...  so I miss the end also (last scene before an ad-break is Carrie at an outdoor cafe and I think a sniper setting up).   Problem is that I haven't seen the previous 3 weeks worth, hope it will be still on TenPlay by the time I get a chance to watch again (... channel BT here we come again, and get HD too...).
I see an orange marker someway into the middle of the recording, I assume this is the broadcast now&next marker (still learning the T4 stuff), no orange marker at the end.  Would be nice for the T4 to realise that this came late and auto-extend the timer.. oh well! Coding that would be a bit of a challenge I would imagine.

I had the same thing the other day, I wondered if re-scanning had somehow changed all my timers to be on the wrong channel!    Turned out that indeed, it seems 7MATE is showing a few seasons old BBT!  Nice to see it in HD, but after getting super saturated with endless repeats on Nein & Go, I don't really need to see it again on Mate..

don't have "-" then a space, then "bitesize"... I don't know what having a dash by itself will do, probably match all shows with a dash in description, title etc... ouch!  Could explain your 1500 recordings setup for the week.
The + and - have to be hard against the names you must match (or must not match).   From memory, having something like Gruen Transfer  in the keywords page will match anything with the word Gruen or Transfer (including in description), and +Gruen +Transfer will match anything with both of those words (but in any order).   To match the show itself, you can either give up on the keyword side and try to find it in a series recording instead (trick if it isn't on in the next week is to see if you can find it in "most popular" or "coming soon" tabs), or ensure you put inverted commas around to ensure it is matching what is inside the inverted commas "Gruen Transfer".

Here is one of mine, I like shows with Richard Hammond in them, but not the kiddies show he does, and I already have a series recording setup for Top Gear, so:
"richard hammond" -blast  -"top gear"

If you want to be more specific about matching, you can use title:keyword for example.   I tend to do series recordings on the whole rather than keyword though, as you will find some odd matches from time to time where a word you would never think ends up in the description that matches something else you wanted..

That may be because the Beyonwiz T series is a bit smarter than the Topfield TF7100HDPVRt when it comes to refreshing timer data from the EPG.

Interesting.   My "Fargo" timer last week had a generic name once it recorded (I didn't check the timer list to see the name).   I notice in my future timers last time I checked a about a week ago an entry or two with blank names..(or maybe it *was* the Fargo timer that I saw, since I have the option enabled to keep my list of previous timers for a while, so I can check to see if I can't find a recording if a timer was actually created or not, I am new to the T4 so don't 100% trust it yet..)

the title: bit needs the text of the title (or partial title) you want to match directly after it.  You can't put a bit of text, followed by title:, as this will not attempt to match anything on title (since you don't have anything after title).    And if the title or words you want to match have spaces in it, you will need to enclose in inverted commas so it isn't trying to simply match a list with *any* of those words.   If you want to have any match for "Wil Anderson", then I don't think you need to specify title or actor or description for this, simply have his name and it will try to find any EPG record entry with this name in it.   You can then set options for if you want repeat recordings or not.   And if you want to watch a show with his name in it, but NOT Gruen Transfer for example, you can have the entry:
+"Wil Anderson" -Gruen
and the minus sign ensures that it will take away the match.   You can then go to "My Week" to check what it has matched & setting timers for, in order to see if your keywords are successful.

We found the text character that was causing the problem in tonight's guide data. We're going to make sure it cannot happen again.

What was it?  From memory, you guys in the past were taking the ABC guides as they gave them out, i.e. not much cleaning up, so I guess this is how it snuck in again (the person doing the sanitising didn't get re-employed by TVTV/ICEtv2)?  Was it an angled quotation mark?  I can imagine the SBS guide would be fun with all the umlauts etc.

I remember the last time this happened, you just needed to wait the week out until the dodgy char the 7K didn't like disappears out the guide.
