Mheg5 data not displayed.  Not useable

Not able to re-organise channels into "user logical"  sequeance.  Just fixed as scanned and according to MUX transmission.

Currently browsing through channels is, 1 2 6 7 3 C4 etc...

Lost sound when exporting to XMB. 

Recovered from Crash, Locked remote/sceen/Playtv, when using ONSCREEN remote.  (Pressed R3 then selected #1, then  cancelled simultatiously, unable to replicate)

Crashed on exit, while recording.  Preform hard reset.

Recording buffer, not flexible.   Cannot save to library form buffer. Cannot adjust size of buffer.     

Subtitles and Teletext not working.  Icon appearing in POPUP box. 

Audio format unsettable.   Stereo only? Seems to decode 5.1 and output to external audio receiver device,

Some audio sync issue TV2

3.10 firmware release details, have specs for TVNZ catchup being added to TV in XMB.  Nothing appeared for me.

Recordings in Library do not preview (thumbnail view) as expected.    15second highlights only appear when "Hovered over" shown in hardcopy manual thumnails viewable.  Plays sound at unexpaected and unadjustable level.

TV channel 015 tvcentral christchurch, may not be transmitting?  EIT data present. No sound. No display.  

Improvements to the interface would include. Overall flexiblity.

Settings for  presets, Groups favourites, individual settings for channels ie volume audio output format.

menu list.

Thanks hope it helps.  Hope development are reading the forums.

had mine for two weeks, very happy just a few issues

The EPG

Channel order

and 90% of the time I try to quit playtv it locks up the PS3 

and I have to pull out the power plug to reboot. Most annoying!

That is odd, should not be happening, try to uninstall PlayTV and re-install it again, mine does not lock up at all.

[foxpnz1]

Yeah I'll try and install again, don't think it did before the last 3.10 update.

I'll report back

Cheers Pete

It looks like most of bugs have been captured already. I have one suggestion being able to swap between from choosing a channel  from the full list of channels (currently) to just choosing from a list of your favorites.

Regards,

Ben.

Hi Ben, you can choose between full and favorites on the EPG list bring up EPG then from memory press the red square button toggles between all and favorites only.

That 1-hr absolute buffer is a bit of a surprise - I was expecting it to be a circular buffer where the oldest content is effectively discarded to make way for the new.

Is it working as intended, or is this a bug?

Checked the buffer again today and the buffer is circular and discards the oldest data to allow it to keep buffering new data. I still sometimes get a lock though when pausing live tv and pressing play a few minutes later and this seems to hapen when the buffer is full. This only happens very occasionally though.

Decided to import and recieved from mymemory early last week. awesome interface and a huge improvement from the zinwell. love everything about it. biggest issue for me is the sound sync issues when exporting to the xmb. would like to be able to export my shows to my phone so i can watch them at work when it's quiet. apart from that the biggest problem is the difference in volume between channel 3 and everything else. i have to be carefull to turn it down so i don't blow my eardrums. the order of the channels isn't a bother to me and the EPG data is not really a problem either as it's overcome by the manual record feature.

one question i have is will the extended periods i will now have the ps3 on by using playtv have any negative effect on the ps3? i usually have a maximum spell of 4-5 hours then it's off for a long time. now its one for half an hour in the morning and then from about 6pm until 10.30-11.00 every night. Will it shorten the life of the ps3 or is it negligable?

Electronics do have a finite lifetime, although it can be very hard to determine. There's a concept known as Mean Time Between Failure, or MTBF, which can be experimentally measured but usually not calculated.

When such things do break, it's usually a case of one thing preventing the rest of the device from working. For example if the power supply fails, nothing else is going to work either, even if they still had decades left in them. This means there's an uncountable number of things that could happen to ruin your day.

Things like voltage changes/spikes, thermal cycling (going through different temperatures), humidity, dust and little children can all affect the lifetime of a complex electronic device. The PS3 also has mechanical parts in terms of the HDD and Blu-Ray drive

My advice to you is to forget about that stuff, and just use it until it dies. There are far too many factors to worry about than the length of time it's turned on. Chances are it'll last for a long time if you look after it. And if it doesn't, well, worry about that when it happens
