Beyonwiz Forums

Hello, are the Beyonwiz forums permanently offline? My T4 fan is on its last legs and I was looking for replacement suggestions. A nice quiet fan would be ideal.

Yes I'm afraid Beyonwiz has permanently closed down so the forum has gone down with it.

This company, a small one man business that has been repairing PVRs for years, is excellent: https://www.nasaelectronics.com.au/

Great, thank you. Wow that's a shame, such a great support community. I wonder if picons will still be updated by community members?

Not 100% sure for the T4 but they are for the U4.

Go to the option to update the "firmware" & see if there is an update (assuming your T4 is connected to the internet). This works for the U4 (updated PICONS is all that's available these days).

Perhaps you can try over at Whirlpool (these links take you to the last page at the time of this post):

Beyonwiz T4
but that thread hasn't been updated since Oct 2022.

There are others that are recently active:

Beyonwiz
Beyonwiz U4

I wonder if picons will still be updated by community members?

The most recent picon update was made available on 26 June. It should be available for online update from its usual feed if your Beyonwiz is networked: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9n1jx58m#r74324869

It has picon updates for:
TVSN picon for channels rebranded from ishoptv to TVSN
Go! HD picon in regions where Go! HD is now a HD simulcast of Go!.
ABC Entertains and ABC Family/ABCKids rebrands.
Ten Peach Comedy & Ten BOLD Drama rebrands.
Picons for the rename of SBS Pop Desi to SBS South Asian (radio channel)

In the works are:
Better picon for ABC Family/ABCKids (the current one just has the ABC Family logo).
Replace TVSN picon for Ten with You.tv picon to reflect new channel name/content, and add You.tv picon in non-metro regions where You.tv is an added channel.
Add new picon for WIN's new channel that replaces its old TVSN (now migrated to Ten), whenever that happens (I haven't been able to find an announcement.

I still haven't decided whether I'll wait until I know what WIN's new channel is before I do another set of updates.

Also: the cybersquatters who were sitting on the Beyonwiz feed DNS names have abandoned them, and peteru has got control of them back, so the feeds are now all online. But only the picons are being updated.

Not 100% sure for the T4 but they are for the U4.

Picon updates are always for all models. The 26 June update has updated picons for its front panel, as well as the on-screen picons.

So good to see the time and effort put in by the Beyonwiz gurus to keep the PVRs going and up to date.

Many thanks from IceTV as it helps all our valuable Beyonwiz users👍

Excellent news that PeterU has resecured the Beyonwiz domain.

I also recommend Nasa; he has assisted me in getting my U4 and T2 back to full health, not to mention one of my 2470 power supply.
