    s4000hdpvr development

    Any news of new f/w for fixes and enhancements?

    It seems to have gone quiet for this stb. I´m still getting the odd crash
    which may be related to the plugin and/or card.

    It would be nice if also the open epg could populate, say, the first 50
    channels and continuously update from standby.

    Fingers are crossed (again).

    I'm happy with mine,

    Although I've recently noticed that the pic goes out of sync with some HD channels when Xcam glitches.

    I don't remember this happening before.

    Still I must be lucky as my Sly freesat card doesn't crash with mcas.

    It must be a bug in either the FW or the latest xcam, hope it gets fixed.

    Another bug I've noticed is that if I switch my stb to standby when I switch it back on there's no sound. I have to switch it back off and on again and then its fine. Anyone else get this?

    i will polish the chip, and reinsert and see if it happens again.

    Hopefully today´s .83 f/w will solve some of the stability problems.

    I´m still very pleased with this machine - so far
    five people have purchased it on my recommendation and two others are
    in the process.

    New F/W seems very stable now.

    I'm running with a very good share and haven't had a glitch in 2 hours.

    Along with the Open EPG and all the other improvements this box has now reached a postion where I am one very happy punter :respect-055:

    Many thanks to the Icecrypt crew :bowing-036:

    It´s gone very quiet again on the s4000.

    Perhaps ColdAsIce has some news on any future developments of this box.

    It would be useful if recordings made without a card could be routed
    through the card reader when the card is reinserted so that they clear.

    This box has come a long way since I bought it and I´m pleased with it.

    I'm glad your pleased with it. I still believe these are one of the best machines on the Market at present.
    As things have moved along, certain issues do get forgotten along the way.
    I will remind the development guys about routing the recordings via the card reader.
    Thanks for the reminder.

    Everyone is busy getting ready for the German Cable and Satellite show next week so I wouldn't expect a reply too soon.
    Wrong time of the year for fast responses in the sateliite Industry.

    By the way Buck401 what CAS have you been using? They did ask me but the alzheimer's is getting worse with age.

    CAS? What´s that?

    All I´m running is the latest f/w .94 and the latest plugin using Mcas - all on my s4000.
    It´s fairly stable with only the odd freeze.

    My Alzheimer´s is proberbly much more advanced - well into the seventies!

    This is the reply I have received from them.

    "I would explain what I heard from our engineer as following.

    If you do encrypted recording, receiver try to save data for descramble.
    In this case, some plugin like mgcamd cannot work, but Mcas can work.
    If you try to record channels through different Tuners on Two Tuner model, playback is not possible at the same time due to ST Chip performance.

    Please consider about this and let me know your decision."



    Its a little Koreanlish but I think they are trying to say it that it should work with Mcas but only a single recording at a time due to hardware restrictions.
    Let me know your exact set up and I will try to duplicate it here and then I should be able to walk them through this problem together.

    Fixed dish on 28deg E.
    F/W .94
    Plugin and running Mcas using white card.

    Even a single unscrambled recording will not clear when the card is put in.
    Interestingly when I attempt to do this the recording goes through at high speed
    showing a blank screen.

    Cheers for your reply.
    I await further developments!

    Any news on further improvements to the Open EPG?

    It`s a bit of a pain to keep loading up after re-booting. If there´s a memory issue
    it may be possible to auto load, say, the first 54 channels (or services) and continuously
    update them.

    Just a thought.
