Noontec V9-T HD media player dual-tuner PVR - anyone got one? - Page 5

The firmware on the Noontec website appears to be the same firmware that was available for download a few days ago in the older sponsor special thread.

I think you could be right, it just doesn't have the readme file. Was hard to gauge as the AusPC one didn't have the rar numbered.

did i file compare on the img file. its identical.

EDIT:

my workmate seems to have a problem with using optical cable. it comes up with a line on the side of the screen. its green in colour. he doesnt get any channels at all when the tv antenna cable is looped into the noontec.

Grrr ok never mind then. Really hope they sort the timer issue out (it actually explains in the manual that its meant to turn on from standby) otherwise its a bit of a paperweight at the moment.

I was hoping to give my seal of approval (apart from the timer issue, I would) to recommend it to others but as yet I can't.

just a question though. what happens if your v9-t fall in that range of serial numbers? then what?

where do you get the serial number?

is it inside the box?

strange.....VENUS is back on and the network works

its cheap and has many features but reliability seems to be lacking

rockuman_ex · 9th May 2010, 9:12 PM

anyone having problem with bittorrent?

I'm trying to download something with 6000ish peers and 10000ish seeds, and yet i get only 2 peers and with 0kb/s speed.

i've started the torrent, and it's been running like that for more than 4 hours now.

something i miss? my thecus n3200 nas has no problem downloading the same torrent...

There is a CNN video section. Do you mean the Noontec V9-T can only get text from CNN? You've tried to access CNN video?

yorky · 10th May 2010, 10:57 AM

Hmmm no I haven't seen the video section I do apologise if there is one, I only had a quick look at a wall of text maybe it was BBC or something

What's the channel change speed on this PVR in live tv?

yorky · 10th May 2010, 1:01 PM

Very quick. I'm not sure if it uses its dual tuners to switch quicker but so far you hit the channel you want either by the enter key and scroll to your channel, or channel up/down, or enter the number and enter and it comes up within 1-2 seconds.

Has anyone been able to get the port numbers needed for setting up router port forwards?
I am hoping this will improve the BT speed, as it seems very slow compared to PC.
Thanks
