![]() ![]() I saw one last difference: in the 3200STB version, you use the FF and Rewind buttons to page the EPG and the Skip Fwd/Back buttons to page the episode description. One nice thing, though, is that it doesn't have to rebuild the EPG from scratch every time you exit and bring it up again - as long as you don't change channels! However, the 3500STBII version does have some small bugs with 12-hour time: 12:nn am is always shown as 00:nn, and even 12:nn pm is often (but not always) shown as 00:nn.Īlso, the "am" and "pm" labels in the EPG are confusing: they appear after the end (2nd) time of the event, but seem to apply to the start (1st) time! Oh, well I guess that isn't too bad for iView's first foray into our strange North American clocks.īTW, I checked the EPG and it still appears to be limited to one day (8 EITs), even if the station broadcasts more. The 3500STBII version doesn't have this bug. The option on the Time menu labeled "Time Type," which can be set to "Save 24" or "Save 12," has another tiny bug in the 3200STB version: if you change the setting, the words "Power On/Off" get "printed over" the words "Time Type" when you exit, resulting in an unreadable jumble. ![]() And, of course, it should work properly on the 3500STBII and not just blank the LED display completely. The 3200 version of the firmware (1603) should probably never show this menu option, and the 3500 version (1511) should probably always show it but in both versions, it's hidden until you go into Close Caption and get back out, then it becomes visible. Changing the setting to either On or Off just blanks the LED display. However, it has been reported not to work. So even though I have a 3200, I'll be sticking with the 3500 firmware.īoth versions have a hidden setting labeled "Standby Show Time." I suspect this is intended for the 3500STBII's front-panel display. This is decisive for me: even though I don't use closed captions much, it's too easy to accidentally press CC while playing a recording and lock up your box with the 3200STB version. Second, with the 3200STB version, pressing CC while playing a recording will freeze the video and lock up the box! But the 3500STBII version doesn't have this bug closed captions work correctly during playback. the 3200STB version takes 22 seconds to boot! The 3500STBII version takes 16 seconds to boot. But there are a few differences, mostly in favor of the 3500STBII version.įirst. So they look nearly identical: same HW, SW, date, and file size. 2015) version of the 3500STBII firmware onto my 3200 to compare it with the 1603 (Mar. ![]()
