New Firmware: MTV3600TD for scrambled names and reboot wakeup issue

Here's a firmware for the MTV3600TD customers who wish to rename the programme names garbage. In addition, it includes a final attempt at fixing the reboot at wakeup issue. A Customer has been testing this firmware over the weekend and has not seen the crash yet.

Magic TV MTV3600TD Firmware 6.08 beta:
http://www.magictv.com/nz/downloads/mtv3600_6_08NZbeta.zip

This is the MTV3700TD firmware 6.07 beta 6 back ported to MTV3600TD, so it has:

- Add iPhone/iPad/Android remote control app support (the MTV3600TD needs to be connected to the WiFi router as the mobile device does; if the WiFi router has a feature to "separate" a WiFi device from other devices it needs to be turned off)
- Add rename function for recorded programmes
- Add audio delay setting
- Add built-in volume adjustment (Settings -> Audio -> Volume; can also be controlled via remote control if the volume buttons have not been programmed)
- Add graphic prompt for radio channels
- Add favourite channels
- Add support for XBox 360 and MCE remote control (needs to be enabled by using Magic TV remote or the remote app first)
- An experimental change for the wakeup reboot issue

In case there is a serious issue with the 6.x firmware, please downgrade to firmware 3.20.

** IMPORTANT: Switching between 3.x <-> 6.x firmware REQUIRES a factory reset after upgrade.

I've been running 6.08B2 for 5 days now and will revert back to 3.18 tomorrow. The FF/FR does show up to 32X but the reality is somewhat less. It is really only about 1/3 of the speed shown. I could live with that, but the system is slow to respond to any command when it is recording a program. I did a system reset when I upgraded to 6.02B2, went through the Guide again to reset all of the programs to record, reset all of my required recording settings and I did a restart after a couple of days. It is still very sleepy and tired. I cannot comment on any of the new features as I don't see any benefit in them for me. I was interested in the ability to set the volume, but this would only be any use if it could be preset by channel. I did not have the reboot on wake up problem until I tried 3.20, do not have it on 6.08B2 but the image does fluff around a lot with blue screen and lost signal for 10 seconds until it settles down. I have no idea which version I should use if program names start disappearing again.

ive noticed with 6.08b2 that sometimes when turn unit off the hard drive is still running and doesnt seem to stop i did a restart from menu and now ok but never had this prob before and your right fast forwarding is slower and slow to respond while recording apart from those things i like this 6.08b2 firmware

The hard disk in a rellie's MTV3600TD was doing this and has since apparently carked out totally.

Does anyone have specs for a replacement?

i.e. Is it a standard 2.5" HD that can be formatted once installed into the MTV3600TD? Thanks.

It is a standard 3.5" SATA but no larger than 2TB.

You may use any of the firmware in this thread to perform the format.

Thanks very much wklie for very prompt response - you are a scholar and a gentleman (assumption); looks like we may be able to revive their unit provided we can find a HD that isn't too picky about operating temperature.

Is it just an impression, or is this make or model more troublesome/unstable than other similar boxes?
Not that it could be more horrid than the Transonic we had - a 1980's interface and 2 years of weird self resets and intermittent faults.

Cheers.
