Where is a good place to purchase the atv1000 or atv2000. The websites at the start of the thread are all censored. Why are the cencored? I am in the USA what is the most affordable reliable option to purchase from? Does the manufacturer in Asia sell them direct? Thank you.

At this point I would just wait for the ATV 1200 or ATV 1600 to come out (sometime in July?) with the duo core processor.

i think that is much better solution. model 1000 is little bit outdated and it is question when will developement of firmware will be ended.
 
Just a bit of a note about atv1000 and the new ics with the newest firmware. I'm not a tech but my logitech webcam C200 works wonderfully on skype. Didn't see it posted, but I can confirm, Skype, Netflix, Plex and ES file explorer with installed mx player makes this little box amazing. My poor ps3 is getting no love. Hope that helps someone searching out there.
 
Hi guys
Stumbled across here while i came across a problem updating my device today, after applying the 'spi' update and all went good, the system rebooted and has been blank on tv ever since, nothing shows up at all.

Orange and blue light constantly on.

Is this a error of some sort? Has something crashed? Any way i can reverse or flash system to factory some how?

Cheers any help will be appreciated..

Once happened to me, but the solution went like this:

Get the 20120111 firmware, change the name to update.img and copy to either SD or USB STICK, be sure to put file in ROOT, insert memory to device.

UNPLUG DEVICE, PRESS AND KEEP PRESSED THE RESET BUTTON WHILE PLUGIN THE POWER CORD AGAIN, UNPRESS WHEN SCREEN SHOWS UPDATE PROCESS.

If all goes OK you will again have your device working.

Hope this help you.

today updated. before i did tweaks with fingerprints and all the stuff.
added maps, really not sure WHY, added BT settings, but no use of that. didn't yet tryed to reboot it to recovery for cvbs, but, hope these days i'll do that also.
bottom line, if old firmware are satisfying your needs, i really do not see any need to update to this latest fw.

One nice thing about 20120606 version is that you can adjust Output Mode and Display Position without getting forced to reboot.

I have just installed this version together with HiDTV 1.9.8.

It installed OK however there is a significant audio problem with this version.

I downloaded and tried the HiDTV 1.9.8 version and an earlier version.

When in use there is an initial audio burst for a second or two, then silence.

It is the same with streaming video via Veetle and Crackle.

YouTube gives an on/off audio that then stops as does Tune-In Radio.

Reverted to Gingerbread Version 20120111 and everything ran normally including the new HiDTV version.

I have not persisted with the testing nor did I leave HiDTV going for more than 5 minutes to see if audio did activate. Sometimes I find HiDTV takes up to a minute before audio comes on.

Has anyone else had similar problem?

UPDATE

Tracked the problem down to an incompatibility between this version and HiDTV 1.9.8.

When I carried out a fresh reinstall and tried with Veetle, Crackle, YouTube and Tune-In Radio I have no audio problems. However when then I run HiDTV the audio fails and also fails when I then try Veetle, Crackle, YouTube and Tune-In Radio again.

I get the same results when I carry out the same tests with HiDVT Version 1.9.4

One issue I see with 20120606 (Gingerbread) version is when a video is playing in full screen mode (MX Player, Youtube, etc) the play/pause and seek bar are cut off at the bottom. It's like the full screen video viewer is getting too large and not fitting the screen properly.

Actually I wonder if this is because I did not reboot after adjusting Display Position.. Let me try that.

Hocus, can you confirm how much RAM you have? I have been testing the latest ICS version and I am still thinking the Android 2.3 version is more stable. Curious to know if maybe its because I have less RAM on mine (512mb). Thanks.

Seems strange, the unit normally goes to recovery system after doing the process explained. Did you flash something different to the stuff in this forum.

Have you checked for a picture from the component out just to make sure it's not something silly like your hdmi cable?

Which SPI file did you put on there, and what was your Uboot and Recovery version before you applied the update?
 
For the above mentioned issue , you can also try a Full HD screen with 1080p resolution. Try connecting your box to it and see if you get a picture. You could also use a computer monitor which has hdmi and capable of 1080p.

I had similar issue but when connected to a HD PC monitor with hdmi i had the pictures. I lowered the resolution and connected to my main screen and had the picture backwith hdmi.My screen was not 1080p ready as it was an older model. You shud try all other non-hdmi connections on the box. Fix the resolution and then try hdmi again.

Now that I don't know what version uboot and recovery were... Does it matter does it? I'll try component cable again. I'm definite it's not hdmi cable as it was all fine until it rebooted itself after the update.

The spi update I applied was the update_spi20111028.zip

Yeah very strange ! It was on the whirlpool forums, spi update from there, may also be linked to here also perhaps.

Is it normal for the orange and blue list to be constantly on? How do I know if device is 'bricked' or dead ?

Thanks again.

no answer?
i want to change back the firmware because the video player is zooming the image and canot acces the setings ,is there a solution for that?
 
@everst, as i know, for update from 2.x to ics there is no need to update spi, and according that, i think that you do not need to update it again. IMHO, downgrade will not even start if there is no suitable base - spi. so, you can try to downgrade it simply as that.
 
I have a problem with AC3. Voices are only on the right speaker, while the rest of the audio is correctly on both. Has anyone faced this problem? This happens in all the ICS releases. I am using the digital Coaxial output to active speakers with their built-in DAC. Also happens with the TV. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Is there a way to unlock the play store on atv1000 ?

Thanks
Click to expand...
If you mean to allow you to full access the play store, the the solution is provided in posts back a page, however, if you mean to allow you to access the play store, then this is a segment of my post on a separate forum:

I have uploaded the Market access firmware here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62178791/update_market.zip

Basically to install the market access you need to

  • download the file
  • copy to the root of your SD card
  • rename it update.zip (if you have a more recent Android version installed you may have to rename it to update.img to work)
  • unplug power lead from the socket
  • hold in the black button underneath,
  • plug in the power while holding in the button.
A blue light will appear first then a red light.
When the red light appears release the black button.
The unit will show the message
