I still have problems using FF + FR. The 4 min trick mostly works, in other words ignore what you see on the screen. 2x and 4x are all mostly useless, 8x, 16x and 32x are the only speeds that seem to do anything. I never had to press FF five times on my old PVR. It still gets stuck on 2x, 4x and sometimes 8x, a bit like trying drive a car from a standing start that has no first or second gears. It's maddening trying to precisely remove adverts without a frame step function and with separate Play/Pause buttons.
I've tested on the original 3.09 and now on 3.11 firmware, the FF/FR issue was on both. I've only a had a couple of random reboots, it's quite stable.
My wish list: 1. Allow copying recordings to a USB device (like the Hong Kong model), 2. Fix the FF/FW issue, 3. Enable frame stepping, 4. Allow custom times for skip buttons. 5. Make the Play button a Play/Pause toggle.
Just turned on the Magic tv and TV3 came up, changed the channel to C4 and bam went to channel 1 and same problem emerged, just TVNZ channels. No recording was happening, rescanned the channels, 17 came up but only TVNZ was showing, rescanned 3 times for all the channels to stick. Any ideas?
wiredr: hi guys a question for { trevor, shouston and katipo } are you running ver 3.11 or v 3.09 software .? all of the above problems can be linked to the 3.11 software . i had similar issues and changed back to 3.09 and so far rock solid performance . oh and fyi my signal is 100% q and 79% s.
I've run both versions. All these troubles are in both versions (and the one before it). They seem to be generic problems and "just the way it works". Nothing about FF or FR has ever turned up in the firmware release notes.
BTW: 3.11 fixed all the series scheduling problems I had, which was listed as one of the problems fixed in 3.11.
Version 3.11NZ Enable audio “Mute” function when Bitstream is ON and outputting Dolby Digital audio. Improve audio level matching between Dolby Digital and AAC track. Improve series recording handling.
trevor , i have sucesfully updated via usb and can report the following epg loads faster x2 rewind actually works now a rapid check of all functions doesnt seem to have uncovered any new functionality ( bugger ) there dosnt seem to be any changes to existing recordings and what you can do with them it will be interesting to see if there are any changes in recording after tonites prog's
