    Firmware Version : 1.4.20 BETA

    MYTVOnline : 7.2.0 BETA



    WARNING:
    Install and use at your own risk. Software cannot be rolled back after installation.
    Please keep in mind, this is Beta and could have also bugs or act unstable, it is for testing and not for productive use 24h with the box.
    If you don`t want to test, please wait until official comes out. No Forum support in other threads if beta is in use, beta issues should be discussed only in this thread.



    HowTo Install:

    Home Menu -> Software Update -> press "0227" -> Red Icon and Beta Test SW appear (right corner) -> Press Red Button -> Now is the Firmware and Software shown, press now "OK" button for install.


    The install process and reboot works automatically! Please don`t turn off the box or plug out the power supply, could damage the box. The reboot after update needs always much more time then usual, please be patinate and let the box finish the install.


    This time also, we get many changes and top new features. The biggest is: Backup & Restore (no more fear from factory reset :smiling_face: ), USB DVB-T2 tuner support, Recording Manager and much more.

    Many user requests are implemented and bugs fixed :winking_face: Please note, not all user requests can be implemented so fast, if not in this update, if possible it will come with future updates, step by step.

    1.Yes

    2.No


    If beta is ok and community feedback is good, the official will follow in few days. If something need to be fixed, then comes delay.

    Anyone else that has problem when trying to do a backup? If I enter Restore it's ok, but Backup then the app crashes.

    Submit this issue as a new helpdesk ticket so the devs can look into it.
