Ematic digital converter box software update tv#

It won't display the electronic program guide provided my the broadcaster (I know for a fact that Bright House does pass this data along my clear QAM tv sets can display it). The timer renumbers channels according to the order it found them (starting with channel 1).

It will tune them, and will record them while watching live by pressing record, but they don't show up in the timer record menu.

Not worth a d*** for QAM (pun intended)! It won't timer record many channels. Looking at the photo in post I'd have to say no, looks like a standard power cord going into the unit, as well as it saying 100-240v 50/50hz AC input. For another, it moves one source of heat away from the rest of the electronics.Īnd finally, a wall-wart can probably supply more power to a USB-powered HDD than the big boxes seem to. For one thing, if it fails you don't lose the whole box - you can easily find a replacement wall-wart with the same voltage & polarity. Does the eMatic use an external 'wall-wart' power supply? FWIW, I think a wall-wart is a better idea than the internal power supply used on the 'big' boxes (3500STBII and HW-150). I was able to fix it by flashing my 3200 with V2.1 firmware for the HW-150, but that also required switching to the HW-150 remote. The iView 3200 has the same scheduling bug as the 3500.

Makes sense because the eMatic is basically the same as the iView 3 200, which also works that bug was specific to the iView 3 500.Įdit: Strike that. On you Ematic AT103B if you bring up the Electronic Program Guide and select/book one of the shows on it, does it bring up an 'Add Event' dialog box with the channel, start & end date already filled in, or does it just bring up the 'Scheduled Recordings' list and you have to select Add and then type everything in yourself?įrom the pics he posted, it looks like that function works correctly on the eMatic. I'll try to take some pics this week, so you can see, since I don't think there are pics online. It also has a more modern look interface wise with a nicer thicker remote.Įmatic webpage for the AT103B: Anyone else have one? On you Ematic AT103B if you bring up the Electronic Program Guide and select/book one of the shows on it, does it bring up an 'Add Event' dialog box with the channel, start & end date already filled in, or does it just bring up the 'Scheduled Recordings' list and you have to select Add and then type everything in yourself? On you Ematic AT103B if you bring up the Electronic Program Guide and select/book one of the shows on it, does it bring up an 'Add Event' dialog box with the channel, start & end date already filled in, or does it just bring up the 'Scheduled Recordings' list and you have to select Add and then type everything in yourself? Yep It's basically the same as the other boxes, except the menus look more modern. This one does not have the midnight bug like the iView/Homeworxs, so that's a relief. I bought one this week after my HW-150 remote did not work anymore. According to Amazon this box has been out since Feb 2014. Since there is no thread for this box I decided to open one. You might want to skim the iView 3500 thread, it's much better documented than the Ematic. : Viewtv VT-163 ATSC Digital TV Converter Box and Media Player w/ Recording PVR Function / HDMI Out / Coaxial Out / Composite Out / USB Input: Dtv Converters: Electronics Also discovered the ematic at103b available.Īgain this is on the iView, which I'm sure is quite similar to your Ematic. One report states the firmware is stable out-of-the-box. Cons: - slow changing channels - grid for up coming programs,cannot see just grid, it changes the channel -remote control has ridiculous small buttons -remote ease of use is poor - no firmware/software update? I have ematic digital converter box hooked up to my tv Can i plug my lg phone into the usb port in front and play you tube videos if so how do i do this through my menu guide model is ematic at103b.up to my tv Can i plug my lg phone into the usb port in front and play you tube videos if so how do i do this through my menu. 1 to work with recordings.Īlthough you can't beat this price for a converter box this unit does have a few drawbacks. Not sure if the Ematic is the same but on my iView I must set the audio to RAW in the setup, to enable 5.1 output but this is only when viewing live, I believe the file type? Needs to be changed to something else for 5. The OTA channels come in good, but the receiver is only picking up a stereo audio signal from the tuner.
