my hamster likes to watch tv.

[seame]

Looks like I've wasted £1000+ on a TV!

Seriously though, will anyone really use this feature?

[Wizard55]

I agree I love it. if openmips have it, it cant be that hard to code to vix. Sorry Andy if sound greedy. But maybe you consider if other wants it

[Sicilian]

Can someone post links to the GIT commits for this please.

[Darrellr]

I can't read the bloody text on the screen why the hell would TV on it be useful.

Transcoding first!

Is there any way these new drivers can be installed through a usb port?

My new Quad doesn't boot beyond the red LED so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been having issues with the drivers dated the 05.11.2013 with build 793.

If I try to record 2 programs and watch a third ( dvb-s2) I often get one recording working and the 2nd recording failing with a 0:00 timespan. If I try to record 3 programs and watch a 4th I get 2 recordings with 0:00 and one recording working as normal.

The only recording to work is the first one to start.

A reboot sometimes fixes it but only 1 time then the fault returns.

I've reflashed the box without a back up and the fault is still there.

I see there are newer drivers on the openmips archive dated 14.11.13 these contain the same bug.

I've tried rolling back to the 02.11.13 drivers and this fixes the problem.

I've tested it several times with this old driver and I can't get the fault to come back.

Just posting this so that other people can save some time and not have to deal with an angry wife when strictly records and x factor does not

Wait for the next ViX build and test.

I think the link you sent Sicillian is showing the next update to include the drivers dated the 14.11.13. I've tried a manual update of these drivers and the bug is still present.

If I've read that wrong then sorry

I just popped on to say I'm having problems with recordings but without the analysis, so thanks I'll look to downgrade my drivers.

I'm getting quite disappointed with all the tinkering going on. The Quad has been brilliant since I bought it in Spring. Even my missus has had to admit that unlike the preceding kit, it was reliable, fast and very feature rich. However over the last two-three weeks we have had several reboots, audio sync problems, the mini-lcd 'shifts' so that the picture clock is unreadable and now recordings fail.

I hope this is a blip and the GB devs get back to a stable build

I am waiting for my quad this week .
But when i read so many complaints from quad owners i start to regret for my purchase...

[skippie]

you won't regret your purchase. The Quad is a wonderful box, just the software (drivers) can 'spoil' it sometimes but that is temporarily.

You won't regret your purchase the quad is an excellent box. My box has been solid for almost a year its just this last driver update that has caused me issues.

If transcoding ever arrives then the quad will be a massive bargain given its current capabilities.
