tag_install is just for convenience or when remote control does not work. It trigger the firmware update when boot up the USB drive. If yo have previous installed firmware with compatible remote...

Great. Now you can try out all the channels. Don't worry that some channels with incompatible links (aka cannot play media file). There are many redundant sources for those media. For live channels,...

Try this one. Just unzip it and put on the thumb drive together with the tag_install and install.img. Then power up the box to flash again. If it still does not work, I can direct you to a different...

It depends. Some online resources also available as IMS. Or you may want to try Plex. See http://www.patriotmemory.com/forums/showthread.php?8930-PBO-YouTube-DNLA-PLEX

Just extract the file onto the same...

Don't worry. It is just the remote driver issue. Since you have the Universal Firmware on now, you can easily do a force flashing by tag_install. As for the problem you experienced, it may be related...

The Chinese Universal firmware since last year have already fixed the remote issue. Just search for the thread by Akira and download the firmware from his blog. It is always a good practice to flash...

Depending on the hard drive model, heat could be an issue. That's why I recommend using an SSD instead. Nevertheless, I have one PBO with an internal hard drive in it for 2 years without any problem....

I saw a Zinwell player using the same chip on dale for $60 today. It may work with universal firmware. Personally I don't recommend WDTV as it support less file types and internet streaming....

Well. It is definitely more expensive than hard drive, but the SSD price has come down a lot lately and it is getting close to $0.5/GB.

Yes, but you may also consider getting an SSD for much better performance and less heat.

Try to partition it to below 2TB in each. It may work this way.

You can probably find a used one on ebay. The aftermarket firmware support for PBO Core has slowed down a lot since last summer. I don't expect any future firmware update for it. I love my PBO Core...

You are very welcome. Glad to hear you have the problem solved. In certain firmware, the remote is indeed a little bit sluggish. Nevertheless, the universal firmware with appropriate remote file has...

My current favorite is VST or the hdpfan old version.

The Akira firmwares are in the newer format that cannot be edited. That is actually safer as the older format is prone to corruption. So you cannot add those files. Nevertheless, rtmp should play...

These channels are on and off all the time. Phoenix channels are usually there though.

There is nothing the Chinese universal firmware can help this situation. There is just no TVB live feed available currently. Nevertheless, the TVB series are back on many IMS.

I have only seen live TVB and ATV on the channel list for several weeks since I use the Chinese IMS sites more than a year ago. Even the Phoenix HK channel was off for a few weeks during those...

You may try SW3 or either telnet to the box or use a USB-TTL cable to erase the firmware. When you upgrade firmware, you should go through P02 first to get a cleaner installation. Erasing the...

Back in the days before I use the Universal firmware or any Akira's mods, I added the rtmp codec manually to P70R2 and it worked. Now I am not sure if the rtmp is included in the universal firmware...

How did you update the firmware? Did you just update from previous version? And what version was it? You may need to erase the firmware and then install it again.

Yes, you got firmware corruption. That happened to me once.

Did you check the bootcode of your box before flashing? Are you sure you are using the correct file for your bootcode?
