![]() ![]() Usually you can still tell what each show in the EPG is anyhow, though, so I guess it's no big deal. Most folks prefer 12-hour time the only problem is the AMs & PMs eat up 4 characters in the EPG list, shortening the program titles by an equivalent amount. It has the 12-hour time format, but there doesn't seem to be an option to switch back to the 24-hour time format used in V11 and earlier firmware. You have to learn to press and release OK quickly (and do it again if it didn't "take.") I guess that's an improvement, but not quite how I would expect it to work. So if you enter a channel number and press either button, it works as if you pressed OK but if you hold the button down a bit too long, the TV List will pop up as the button sends its signal repeatedly. Mediasonic fixed the TV List bug from V11 and V13, but to do it they just made the OK and TV List buttons do the same thing! To be fair this is how the HW150 works (its remote control doesn't have a TV List button, so the OK button has to do double duty on the HW150). It works fine on the 3200 (have to use my HW180 remote, of course). I just scored a copy of HW180 firmware V13.1 & installed it on my iVIEW 3200. I just missed recording the Ken Burns Country music series DESPITE setting multiple timers to record the episodes multiple times.Īre there any alternatives out there that actually work? When it works - those rare occasions - it is great. This is less of a PITA because I Plan to handbrake the videos and I can select. ![]() When I play back the recording on my computer I get the Spanish language or English descriptive language track instead of the default English track. * The recordings seem to randomly pick which audio stream to set as the first audio stream. It seems like this does not work on timer and has to be very carefully baby-sat that is it will only record if I am there and I press "Rec". Even if I set the timer and power it off the timer doesn't work most of the time. Every time I go to my theater room it's powered on. The problem is it seems to be CONSTANTLY turning itself on. It seems like it is like an old VCR where if it's on it won't record if the timer time comes. * Most of the time when I set the timer it does not record. I have this Homeworx PVR and it doesn't seem to work. If you get anything besides a 3500, consider getting a programmable or learning universal remote to use with it. The only one that comes with a halfway decent remote is the iView 3500. The HW-150 comes with a slightly bigger remote but I don't like it much either. The only real complaint I have with the HW-180 is the tiny remote, but the Koramzi, eMatic and iView 3200 all come with a similar tiny remote. (It's roughly on par with V5.4.8 firmware for the HW-150 model.) The new version has a decent tuner (Rafael Micro 836), and V13 firmware, which supports either 12- or 24-hour time format via a menu setting. Mediasonic's support isn't very good, but at least it exists!īTW there's a newer version of the HW-180 with a 2-year warranty at this Amazon page. ![]() I'd prefer Homeworx over Koramzi just so I'd have access to any firmware updates. ĭon't know anything about the Koramzi, but all these boxes (Homeworx, iView, eMatic, etc.) are pretty similar. ![]()
