Getting Help / Not Skipping Ads

Hi,

Not sure if I need a soft reset to resolve the issue of no ads being picked up in my recent recordings?

Cheers,

Getting Help / SDD Replacement
July 03, 2025, 05:36:22 PM
Hi,
As I suspect my SDD is on the fritz with a constant horizontal line running through the middle of the screen, I'm guessing there are a few choices?

Put up with it

Replace the SDD

Transfer the recordings to another portable drive, as the drive is nearly full anyway.

Points 2 and 3, I'm clueless, so I could use some help, please.

Cheers,
John

General / Horizontal line while using IceBox
June 29, 2025, 01:06:56 PM
Hi,
Over the last couple of days, a horizontal line has appeared in the middle of the TV screen. It only appears while running the IceBox, as I have tried looking for it on my other streaming services, but nothing. The line is not always visible, but it is there, and is more noticeable during a scene change. I'm not sure how to describe it in any more detail.

My 1TB HD is nearly full, so could this be a sign that the HD is on the way out?

Cheers,
John

Getting Help / Remote Control
March 29, 2024, 03:58:29 PM
Hi,

Having just set up the IceBox, I noticed that the remote will not operate from my chair, which is 4 or 5 metres away. Is this normal, or have I missed something?

Currently, I have it placed on my TV cabinet, just while I play around and get used to it, but my old Wiz is in the cabinet and much lower so perhaps it receives a stronger signal. I have not peeled off the top layer of plastic yet either.

Also, from where can you see what firmware is installed, as I have not found that yet?

Cheers,
John

Getting Help / Recently Acquired IceBox
March 28, 2024, 02:22:23 PM
Hi,

Recently I acquired a barely used IceBox from one of the forum members.

He had set it up himself, so when I first booted it up, it had all his settings still in operation, and I could not get much useful info from it.

Should I be doing a soft reset so I can access the setup wizard etc again and start over?

Cheers,
John

Hi,

I have suddenly in the last week lost ABC HDTV and all of my series recording timers from the TV Guide, and of course I have all of my ABC program timers set to record from ABC HDTV.

If I go into My Shows and click on series options I'm still given the choice of ABC HDTV or Any Channel. Have I missed something, is it just a name change or what? 

Cheers
John  :D
