The issue stays in 720p format. The dealer said that this is a issue with pinwheel for most sony tv's only (model inspecific), and does not go away with any setting change on it.
Update: The problem is narrowed down to the receiver broadcasting in around 50fps to the tv, and the tv expecting 60fps. No option fixes it. As far as I think this is the issue according to online searching. Just putting it out incase someone is reading and knows a fix
50hz is only for pal tvQuote:

Hi, and thank you for the comment. I looked into what you said and I am wondering if I have something set up wrong. When I do press the v format button to switch between different qualities. I get options ending in 50. such as 1080p and then 50 at the end which I thought was the 50hz framerate i was referring too. all options have 50 at the end and the ghosting around colours doesnt go away. Do I have it in pal mode or something?
you are right about the 50 being the refresh rate, now why it iss doing that is weird. I can't make mine display anything other than 60Hz... is it possible the tv is somehow running at 50Hz instead of 60 and everything else has adapted to that video format?
is your TV multi region?
50hz will only show if tv supports pal/ntsc
check your tv settings to make sure it is set to ntsc only mode
i believe it is there
go to a channel that may be broadcasting cc
and press subtitle on remote
if closed caption is broadcasted then it will appear on screen
Thank you Nostradamus and fta4me for replying.Quote:

time zone for newfoundland, ca would be nice, -3:30
I would like to see the following if possible
1) The epg to only show channels for the sat your pointing at with an option of "all sats" + B*v epg improvement
2) Delete sat to include deleting all channels within the selected sat
3) Search (blue button) to scan only that sat but will delete any channels present first
4) A button on the remote assigned to choosing a sat that corresponds to the epg info and drives the motor there etc.
5) switch/port settings within the motor setup menu
Thank you team pinwheel
First suggestion does have an option of all sats and the bev e p g improvement has been mentioned multiple times.Quote:

Number 4> Are you saying that when you land on a channel the motor does not automatically change satellites?
Number 5>Motor drives one lnb, no need for switch settings
1. Open ssh
2. PVR in the net drive and music , pictures
3. lan remote control
4. Sleep Timer
5. Edit IPTV and add sorce url
that ones would be greath
It really needs support for Dish 1000+ LNB and DPP33 (the LNB with the internal/integrated DPP33 switch). I have the Pinwheel HD Mini currently setup on my Dish 1000+ (110,118,119,129) and I cannot get it to scan in each satellite properly due the switch settings available.
I have the following setup:
119 = Port A
110 = Port B
118 = Port C
129 = Port D
All configured with DishPRO LNB Type.
When I scanned.....it scanned in the same channel on each satellite...meaning CNN ch. 200 was scanned in on 119,110,118,and 129. So now I have CNN on 4 channels and they are all working.
So it seems that the Pinwheel cannot switch to the correct LNB properly because of the internal switch on my Dish 1000+.
Also I am missing a lot of channels from all satellites and also losing signal when switch between satellites.
****Please note: I am able to scan in these satellites just fine on my Viewsat 9000 HD.****
id like to see a channel sort by provider similar to viewsat. for example press sat button and have the option for dish package and have the option for bev package so its not all shown on the epg and channel list at once

The EPG really needs an overhaul. While helping someone setup the pro version all the channels do not populate and does not go beyond a few hours.
Leave it on 239 for a bit...Should build quite a bit...and the longer on 239 or 200 the better it it !!Quote:

I would to see what IKS server the box is using while video is still playing, and the choice to choose between providers. I have no way of knowing which p$ its using, or if its still using the public server. Havent gotten a certain channel to work all night, but have no idea if its my server, or the public one thats the issue (I have shut off the p$, got no pic, turned p$ on, still...no pic!). Most other channels come in great.
Lets not forget mini has no public...
Public runs great on Pinwheel....

If you install one solid p$ then you will know which one you are using.
If you haven't gotten certain channel to work using different p$ then good chance it is down.
I believe the suggestions we give should be realistic and not ask for more than a sub from provider can supply.
The Jynxbox shows which server is being used. Eg. server 1, 2 3 etc.. You just have to know what slot you put your specific service in. But when watching, you can see it select the appropriate server to support the channel choice. Yes would be nice to see that on the PW.Quote:

It looks like a great product but I can't be sure......just a dust collector right now....
EPG is still an issue. It seems leaving it on 200 and power down the receiver via remote for 5 minutes does populate but still A LOT of gaps. It seems to be a great box with great picture but still needs work to correct the bugs.
Here is my list of suggestions:
* Menu Option to have EPG download when powered-off (standby turns to 239)
* Channel Editor
* EPG click through instead of exiting out
Better EPG for dish and bell and less remote lag and more stable iptv and better satellite menu setup Thanks Pin Wheel Team
I hope they fix pvr fast forward and rewind option and also if it tells what servers are connected and what server it's using.
it would be nice to rew and ff at a speed greater than 2xQuote:

VOD
fix fail to change channel error
fix server manager
auto tp change
Wishing for Slingbox app. on Pinwheel HD and able to record the videos from Slingbox.
Thanks.
Fix the shoutcast plugin. It does not play low bitrate streams properly.
I wish developers would make a virtual remote app. for Android/Apple devices for Pinwheel.
The crappy physical remote that comes with Pinwheel doesn't repond that well when you press the remote's buttons.
Sometimes it doesn't respond at all when I press them.
Or least they could make a better physical remote that responds better and doesn't squeak when you press the buttons.
Thanks
One of the many reasons I use a Harmony 300Quote:

I have a ghetto solution for the guide downloading. I set a daily timer to record 2 min on channel 239 with the timer set to standby the box after done. It is not pretty, but it works.

For network drives we need a search function to find the drives. I find that with some drives, even though you put the ip address and the name of the share, it won't connect. In linux the samba setup allows for the search of ip addressed devices like printers and shared hdd's. That should be an easy change. Since the PinWheel HD is in the same domain as all the other local devices.
Even better if we could scan the LAN for UPNP drives (Universal Plug and Play), that would work really well.
Checked VLC on my IPad and it picks up all my drives as network drives as soon as I press the option.
