I've had a garbage screen once, but many times it drops to the USB menu and freezes (ignores remote and front power button). Playing or FF recordings to the very end frequently locks up the unit. I could swear I was getting DD from PVR played recordings, but if I was, I'm sure not now. FF and REW can occasionally cause this garbled sound to reappear even on recorded programs.Įdit: No. I know this because I customized the 708 to a transparent background, but the font/style/location is that of the 608.ĥ) Does hitting volume up during FF allows faster playback with sound.Ħ) Does v11 firmware play DD 5.1 from recordings?Īlmost always with RAW audio enabled I have an echo-y garbled sound for live TV, but time-shift and recorded programs play back clean in 5.1. Update: Apparently the on/off engages the 608 subtitles not the 708. The CC button only turns the captions on and off and there is no on-screen indication of the change, just the presence or absence of subs. Hitting CC USUALLY brings them up (default is off). Playing completed recordings I had one instance of the subs being 10 seconds late. Funny thing is this worked on the 150PVR. All 10 sub streams are visible to cycle through. When timeshifting I can't get them to come up. I don't recall the 150 having all those subtitle choices. During live TV you can cycle through all six 708 and four 608 streams. After recording once, the timer page incremented to tomorrow for the next program occurance. Type it in and wait for it to register and change channel whether hitting a single number or number dash number. Can't figure out if there is a way to hit 'Enter' to speed along channel entry. Useless.įirmware version: SW Version: Jan 21 2016-03:52:18-V11.0ġ) Does EPG data get passed to 'set program'.Ģ) Does hitting a single number go to the current channel's subchannel or channel (.1). Of course this doesn't explain Red/White/Yellow RCA cables being included. I guess they needed to save money somewhere. No wall wart for the power, just a standard plug. Got the HW-180STB tonight (late delivery). 2 of the channel you're on? (The iView 3200STB does the latter ) I'm really hoping the HW-180 doesn't have the same ridiculous bug.Įdit: One more thing to check, if you please if you enter a channel number without a dash, say, "2", does it go to channel 2.1 as you'd expect, or does it try to go to subchannel. Only thing I'd change is a M-F function since daily is seven days a week. I'm hoping one or both of you can check on another bug I just learned of today: on 7802-based iViews and eMatics, "daily" recordings don't work - the firmware treats them as "weekly" recordings instead.ĭaily recordings are just that, weekly works as well OK. They still sell the HW-150PVR for folks that need or want component video. Mediasonic just wanted a box that was cheaper to make. Even though you can take the recordings off your HD and play them anywhere, you probably can't record from the HDMI, even if you could easily find a device to record FROM HDMI. There are quite a few issues with HDMI as a standard, they could have done a lot better, but the two requirements were that every one agree CE makers and Content Providers only provide content to licensed devices, and licensed devices all support copyright protection and HDCP. The boxes don't tune any DRM content, it is true, but if you want the plug you sign the licensing agreement. HDMI requires you agree to the licensing terms. No, the mad genius of the HDMI socket is that it is licensed.the media producers of the world were afraid the open source DVI plug would be the default plug and then they'd never "close the hole". These boxes won't tune any DRM-protected content anyhow. I seriously doubt that Mediasonic gives a hoot about what the HDMI consortium wants.
