NeTV beta program

Beta Program
This page here is for beta program users. Bugs, updates and compatibility matrices will be posted here.
Announcements
September 27: Units at version 9 should go to 11. Version 11 is an update from pre-launch, so don't get too excited; we just fixed a bug in update deployment that should have been fixed a while ago. A new update is in the works that has more significant functionality changes and upgrades soon.
September 29: Update system is currently being reworked again, so updates are off-line temporarily. They will be back on-line soon. At the moment if you run an update you will get a signature mismatch error.
September 29: Rework is done, updates should now be happening automatically. Current latest is 11.
Confirmed Issues
As of firmware release 11
wifi
- There is a known issue with TKIP encryption, affecting WPA1/WPA2 TKIP-only type links. Please use TKIP+AES, or open. Using Android app 0.5.6 and later will fix this bug, but configuring using IR remote will not work.
- There is a known issue with 128-bit WEP encryption and hex keys.
Feature Discussion
- Feature request: make rate of scrolling configurable
- Feature request: add PAL support to enable EU cable box compatibility
- Feature request: add iPhone support

Device | Fw rev | Resolution | Compatibility | Notes | |||||
Tivo Series 3 | unknown | forced 720p | intermittant (11) | I could get NeTV into mode where it just showed black background, usually by switching video inputs on TV and coming back to the Tivo+NeTV chain. [update: this happens on occasion when switching video inputs to TivoS3, not a dominant operating issue] | |||||
PS3 CECH-2501A | Version 3.56 | forced 480p | yes | ||||||

PS3 CECH-2501A | Version 3.56 | forced 1080p | no (11) | NeTV does not support 1080p60 | |||||
PS3 CECH-2501A | Version 3.56 | auto | no (11) | NeTV goes into self-timing mode. However if I connect the PS3 to the TV directly, there is no signal, too. I have to reboot the PS3 then can set the resolution back to manually.

Apple TV version 2 | unknown | all | no (11) / fixed >11 | This product is non-compliant to spec. EESS signalling is too early, causing loss of cipher lock. A work-around is implemented and will be deployed in firmware versions greater than 11. Not quite sure how ATV2 works with other devices since they are so far out of spec on EESS timing. | Acer Aspire 5942G | Windows 7 | 720p native | yes | |
Lenovo Thinkpad T520 | Windows 7 | 720p native | yes | requires displayport to HDMI adapter | |||||
Apple desktop products | any | 720p native | no | Apple munges the timing of the HDMI output so that it is not a CEA standard mode, NeTV cannot recognize it |
Sinks
Display | Resolution | Compatibility | Notes |
Toshiba 40G300U | forced 720p | yes | |
LG FLATRON W2261VP-PF | yes | ||
VIZIO M221NV | yes | ||
LG 42LW5700TA | yes | ||
Sony Bravia 32CX520 | yes | This TV is very picky about the +5V input. For proper operation you must use the provided power supply and power cable, otherwise the resistive loss and/or tolerance of a typical USB power supply and cable can put you outside its accepted range. |
