New ViX Team Technomate TM-TWIN-OE ViX OE3.0 Release Discussion

I have had similar problems when it wasn't even connected up to my tv, and just using hdmi through a monitor... Happened first time I connected it up to the monitor (first time I powered the box on). Thought the box was dodgy, until I restarted and it came up

Also had it when connected through my hdmi amp... Just turning on, and nothing outputting on tv... Now, I just power off the twin, and on again, and it works fine...

I use 2 NEET externally powered splitters and also have no issues if I connect direct to the amp

I have enabled CEC. Options set to "yes" for all options until handle wakeup from TV.
Wakeup signal from TV = Any activity.
Bottom three options set to "no"

No change.

I have two manual push button switches. There are no brand markings. One I got from Sainsburys and the other from ebay, similar to item 271068274787 on the bay.

Can we get a list together of makes/models of HDMI switches please.

mine is a Belkin PURE AV 3 into 1 HDMI switch. has a external power supply and is both push button and remote control.

activating HDMI CEC on the Twin seems have given mine the kick it needs, although it is worth pointing out that none of my other boxes need this setting activated, i'll keep a eye on it and report back.

update:.

It would seem that activating HDMI CEC has not resolved my issue as it's still happening and only on this receiver.

working fine but how do you install or down load ccc+m into softcam ?

[abu baniaz]

Vix images do not have softcams installed. You have to install them manually.

i don't have a splitter, but do use a ATEN 8 port switch, (8 device to one tv), and have no issues, when i change devices and back

[Rob van der Does]

It seems this box (and probably many others) are unable to allow simultaneous outputs..
For example, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a TV connected via HDMI 1080i and a multiroom/DVDr via Scart RGB..I won't mention the component outputs as that too demonstrates the same poor control.

Can't say for the TM but the VU boxes do support simultaneous outputs.

Edit: We are currently looking into this and any issues found will be reported to TM. Video-output is indeed governed by the drivers, so if there are issues TM will have to fix them.

Agreed and While I have not tested this on the twin yet. I have on many occasions had one of my vu receivers looked up to two different screens at the same time, via scart and HDMI Which works great.

ok just got home and dug out a scart cable.

I have Two TV's side by side, hooked up to the Twin one via the HDMI port @ 1080i and the other via the Scart port, Both ports are outputting video just fine to both TV's.

I didn't say it doesn't output video, I said it doesn't output RGB video while outputting HDMI...

Dont take this 100%, but got a feeling this maybe a charactaristic of E2, I setup a Uno the weekend, remember seeing the samething, but will need to check again.

The HDMI hub/switch issue has been reported and I'll be pushing for a fix

No, it's driver related: the plugin 'video mode' can only do what the drivers support.
The VU's output RGB while at the same time outputting HDMI.
Only thing is: the VU's have the component connectors hard-wired to the scart-RGB pins. That means that Component & Scrat-RGB don't go together, as setting one is setting the other. No idea if that's the case with TM as well.

I setup a VU+ Uno the weekend using both scart and HMDI outputs, sure it switched itself to CVBS, will need to check though.
