November sofware update

A first attempt at a web browser is available under Program only for wired ethernet network connections that support DHCP; not wireless at the moment. Please note the browser is currently limited, it does not supprt HTTPS.
The AirPlay streaming is fixed for iOS 7 devices.
The classic Confluence skin (blue) is back.

Update 11/12/13
Interesting date sequence!
Why have you changed the skin back to Confluence (blue)?  The previous skin (red) is no longer being maintained.  There will be a major update to XBMC next year (called Gotham) that Confluence (blue) will work with.

Accessing 1Channel/PrimeWire from the UK

Once your system has been automatically updated the new icon will look like the one above.  The PrimeWire access from the UK using a proxy server is intermittent and unreliable.  It seems to work best during the day!  Lets see what unfolds.

Access 1Channel from the UK.  Navigate to:

SYSTEM>Settings>Add-ons>Enabled Add-ons>Video Add-ons>1Channel and select Configure

on the Mischellaneous tab change Domain to http://primewireproxy.co.uk

Select OK and job done.

Audio and video not synched?

Sometimes the video and audio might not be synched and this can be easily rectified.
When playing a video you can bring up the on-screen-display (OSD) and adjust the Audio Offset.  This will adjust how long the audio is delayed or advanced in relation to the video.
But how do you get to this Audio Offset whilst playing a video? First you need to bring up the OSD like below:

If you are using Yatse then access the OSD by press AND hold the icon below (if you just press then you get info to do with codecs):

If you are using a wireless keyboard then depress and release the m key.
Once the OSD is displayed then navigate to the sound icon like below:

Select the sound icon and you will see a display like below:

Select the Audio Offset and the display will look like below:

Now you can adjust the offset. It takes a little time to get it right but does make things perfect. Use the back key to get rid of the display.

1 Channel/PrimeWire latest

A 1Channel update is currently being tested before being deployed.  The first thing that you will notice is a new launch icon as above on your TV screen.  The new software will automatically update for you in a few days.

On November 21st UK ISPS - BT, Sky, Virgin Media, O2 , EE and TalkTalk began blocking websites including PrimeWire (formerly 1Channel).  By November 23rd UK users were accessing PrimeWire as "normal" through proxy servers.  There are two proxy servers currently being used to access PrimeWire through the UK ISPs; http://primewireproxy.co.uk and 1channel.occupyuk.co.uk

Instructions on using these proxy servers will follow shortly. Our initial testing indicates that interfacing to the current proxy servers work reasonably well but is not 100% perfect.  Once a server (i.e. Putlocker) has been selected to view content things works just like before because the proxy server is no longer being used.

1Channel and PFTV blocked

The Heads Up we gave to you has now happened.

Virgin Media have just replied to our Tweet.

Confirmation that 1Channel and PFTV are now being blocked.  Lets see what unfolds.

UK ISPs ordered to block 1Channel

Heads Up....

Access to some streaming sites will be blocked by UK ISPs because of a new ruling.  This could impact access to Project-Free TV and 1Channel by the end of November.

Lets see what unfolds :)
