Wishlist for the Pinwheel hd series

[whoknows]

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.
Second suggestion is already working
Third suggestion is working also.
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

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

"When you scan"> Before you scan get a lock on each satellite. There are various settings from a to c and 1 to 16. Try (TEST)

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 !!

epg will compile faster if you park it on channel 200 and then power down via the remote for 5 minutes

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....

Is there a box on the market that shows what iks server is being used while watching tv?
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.

Why can't these guys get the switch arrangement right for DP Plus LNB's with a DPP44 switch? Every other stb can do it, whycan't they??? My mini doesn't scan accurately in any way with that arrangement, regardless of the settings I try. Are you out there listening Pinwheel guys? 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
