The Official 169time AVX-1 Technical Status Discussion - Page 10

Just tried to call him. Darn, no answer.

Dave

dave, you're the best, i always read but hardly ever post. i love this stuff!
dan

i downloaded the stomp product, waiting for detailed instructions. !!!

Yep, this is a huge huge milestone. Now, the goal of this release. We have tested the best we can. I dont have SHO, but Richard does. We need you to beat it up and find any problems. Its still called B3 which is Beta 3. So, again and Don has said in the past, this is a BETA again. (What s/w from anyone is not beta, ever find a Microsoft bug? ) The avx-1 is the base for some many other products to come.

Dave

Again, if one has the stomp product, put your CD into your burner.
Run Stomp. If the wizard comes up, shut it down. Right click on your s/w and do build global image. Make a folder to put this stuff in. Then call the file name (CRITICAL TO DO RIGHT)

CDIMAGE.gi

and do build it.

Let me know if anyone has issues.

Then you are ready for the patch. Have a new CD ready to burn. DONT BURN OVER YOUR B2 Master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave

can't wait for link!!!

ok,ok,ok, pant pant; image is built!!!

Cool.

The patch will come from the 169time web.

For folks who cant do the update, I send a note from a PM to Richard asking what he will be doing. It wont be as quick as burning yourself.

Dave

yippi!!!

Richard awake tet?

how big is the patch file? and .exe i assume??

Still no picking up the phone yet. He must have worked real late last night.

The zip file is about 47kb.

Dave

Hopefully it will be out for six feet under!!

Dave -

Is this "global image" anything other than an ISO image file? Sure would be nice to use the freeware CD2FILE.EXE and FILE2CD.EXE programs to do this. No installation (just unzip), small, no expiration or nags... As long as our ISO image were named CDIMAGE.gi would the patch work?

Thanks again for all your efforts on this!

Okay, just got off the phone with RIchard.

First, if one cant make the disc, then as the avx-1 manual says under update, the disc is free, but you have to pay for shipping. (This is the same as any other free s/w I get from any other company.)

The docs are not done yet but I think I talked RIchard into putting the patch file on the web and I will link you too it and tell folks how to do.

So, I already told you how to get the file ready.

You down load the zip file into the SAME folder as the CDIMAGE.gi file and folder. Unzip the files into this SAME folder. Then run the .exe If everything works you will get a passed message. Then you use stomp to record this patched gi file to a DIFFERENT CD and mark B3.

Then go boot it and post back how it works.

Tick, tick

Dave

YOU MUST USE THE STOMP SW. YOU MUST DO THE GI FILE.
NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK. We cant support everything.
THis happens to be the number 1 s/w I happen to use and have never had an issue with it. It was well worth the price I paid.

This is a very special patching process. If you dont follow exaclty, it wont work. (This is why it didnt ship yesterday, I kept screwing up in hindsight)

Sorry, but its free so should be no issue.

Dave

Okay, here it is. Again, NO DOCS YET!!!!. Save as .zip

http://www.169time.com/UPD3B_GI.ZIP

Dave

changed channels to sho, perfect!!
hdnet, perfect!
yippi!!
now i can record 5th element!!

Yep, thats expected

dave

wow, it even tunes in the nonHD shows

Cool, keep the inputs coming. I think this is the real "1.5" for the avx-1.

dave

Yep, but no audio

Okay, who is going to do the pc s/w so we get our PVR? THen RIchard can finish the ability to dump the avx-1 to the PC. (He will get to this anyways)

dave

Same here perfect after boot. I will post back in 4 hours

Right click on your S/W?, what is S/W?

Sorry not very computer literate

Lon

hehe, even did the digital ota, (the masters) I know i dont need it for that.
why cant i just leave this thing on all the time?
very very nice work!

The process is not ready for ordering a disk. It will be posted on Web when ready.

Roger, if you noticed, we put in the resync data too so you can see how many times it resyned, very very cool feature.

The right click on mine is the burner I am using. You probably can get from other buttons too.

Dave

Danny, no reason to power cycle the avx-1 anymore from what I have seen.
