A new firmware version has been released for the Playon!DVR TV with some updates from Realtek that improve on certain schedule recording bugs that some users are experiencing.

The change log remains the same as our previous 842 version, as there are no major changes except for some codes to improve on the schedule recording.

We would like to have your feedback if this version works for you.

I just installed all this on my PV72100.
These are the first and only things I checked...
#1 it erased all the channel settings. Maybe a backup feature to USB before install?
#2 My settings are for Ireland. I have to change from Pal B/G to Pal I to get sound.
#3 Will not play HD 720p .mkv

I just "tried" to record a game from ATV. The entire first half was on PAUSE and I did not know it.

The red light should blink when set to PAUSE.
The icon should stay on screen (smaller) when set to PAUSE.

I hope that the upnp works in this firmware !!!

Thank you for new firmware.

Hope next firmware upgrade resolve more that had been put up.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

i try to install the new firmware but after installation the machine is not working. It is stuck in acryan screen forever.
Ok i fix it. I dont know why but too many often the machine stuck in acryan screen and i have to restart many times the machine or to change the hdmi cable to the tv...

Hi,

I've installed the new firmware successfully. But unfortunally I have to say that the recording bugs are still present in this firmware release.

The bug is that for some scheduled recordings the recording stops to early, while the recording history states Ok. For example I had scheduled a movie with a length of 3:00 hours, but the recording stopped at 1:05 hours. Sometimes recording has correct length and sometimes not. This is very frustrating, you can imagine that a half recorded movie is worthless.

I really hope this can be fixed soon.

Kind regards,
Berthold

The problem is not just the recorded movie. It's the whole system.
If I want to schedule something I must put my DVDRecorder because the ACRyan is unreliable=worthless.
The firmware releases means that probably noone knows what is the problem and they can't afford to spend manhours to fix it.
The problem is so obvious that with 1 week of testing everyone could spot it. The solution is another matter..

My problem is still that I spend a lot of money for a medium media player & since I already owned a better media player my loss is double because I must find and buy a decent Hard Disk recorder now...

So, so far I just have a VERY expensive TV tuner (MPEG-2 only not even MPEG-4) and medium media player...

@ACRyan : Please pay better attention to your products... I guess PlayOn!HD will have the same bad technical support in 2-3 months...

@faganas: I do not totally agree with you. I'm quite pleased with the PlayON!DVR TV. It is a cheap device with lots of features, one of it's kind. Only the recording scheduler is unreliable.
