RE:Vision Twixtor

Salut
I've been using RE:Vision's Twixtor plug-in in FCP 4.5 & 5 (& Combustion) for about 6 months now, and have this re-curring issue with it only in FCP.
Occasionally I see some weird frame flash in the clips to which I've applied Twixtor. I think it's actually one of the fields in the first frame of the clip.
I've only experienced it in FCP, but in FCP I use Twixtor on a lot of clips, sometimes the entire timeline (which in this most recent time was 15 minutes long and contained 3 of these fields). In Combustion I usually just apply Twixtor to a few short clips, so maybe it's just the laws of probability in my favor there.
Sometimes if I remove the filter, then re-apply it & render, the field is gone; sometimes I have to delete the clip, lay it down again, re-apply Twixtor. And sometimes it's just there no matter what.
AND this happens on my home computer (a 2002 Quicksilver G4) as well as my office computer (a newer dual 2.5GHz G5).
Any ideas what could be the culprit?

Hi TB - I can't tell you what the problem is, but yes I've seen it from twixtored fcp material.
Although not for about 2 years - I gave up using Twix in fcp preferring AE. Unbearably slow to work with Twix and fcp.
Don't know if Twix with fcp is one of those quick'n'dirty "port it and make some bucks" things or if they rewrote it, but I suspect not.
fwiw - never had an issue out of AE though, which it was originally written for.

  • How do you install "Twixtor" plug in for FCP

    Hello,
    I think I have installed it properly, I'm not to sure... In FCP i click on "EFFECTS/Video Filters/RE: Vision Plug-in/ and I see
    Twixtor 4
    TWixtor 4.5 pro
    Twixor 4.5 vector
    but when i click it nothing happens... shouldn't a box pop in the viwer window unter the "Motion" tab?
    I tried ReVision's support but their forum is confusing - so i thought to ask my fellow Mac friends!!!
    LEt me know if there is a tutorial on installing it - and how can I tell and where do I look for to see it installed. I downloaded their tutorial but they assume u installed the program properly...
    Regards,
    Joey

    Simon,
    Mate you can do some pretty dope stuff with Twixtor it's a good plug in as for Shake I never used it but the check this out
    http://www.revisionfx.com/rstwixtortutorials.htm
    Downlaod the tutorial that is 215mb and read some of the stuff - it will give you an idea how sophisticated Twixtor is in terms of frames and so forth! I like it Im still messing around with it... the only thing I have an issue with is learning how to synch the audio & the lips movement of my characters so when i put it in slow mo everythings fits well... i hope that made sense...
    My best,
    Joey

  • Slow Motion Problems With Twixtor Pro in AE CS5.5

    Hello forum! I recorded some footage at 1080p and at 60 fps. My shutter speed was 1/1000 and the ISO was 3200. After importing my footage and applying twixtor pro to a solid and setting the color source to my footage, i get a lot of ghosting effects. Some other things i did with Twixtor: Changed speed % to 20, Cahnged Frame Interp to Motion Weighted Blend, Changed, Input Frame Rate to 29.97, and Finally Changed Warping to Inverse w/ smart blend. Below is my video. If the emedded video below doesn't work (because I'm new to the forums), then heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qGmW7or3gw

    I'm a bit confused... How would a 1/2 shutter speed be better than 1/1000? I thought 1/1000 was faster?
    Maybe this will help. If you were going for a target slow mo of 1/2 speed and your playback was going to be at 30 fps then you'd shoot at 60 fps. If you had a film camera with a normal shutter shooting at 60 fps wold give you and exposure of about 1/100 of a second. That means that if you have a video camera that will shoot at 60 P, or even 60I that your shutter speed should not be any faster than 1/100 of a second. Slowing down 60P or 60i footage is easy, It only gets hard when you want to slow something down to 1/4 or even 1/8 normal speed.
    Let's take 1/8 speed. IOW one second of real time takes eight seconds of playback time.
    If your project was set to 24 fps that means your target filming frame rate would be 8 X 24 or 192 fps. That means your shutter speed would be somewhere close to 1/400 of a second or half the duration of the frame rate. So I guess I should have said frame rate times 2.
    Setting the shutter to 1/1000 will give you an unnatural look to the slow mo because the edges will be too sharp. There are some occasions when you want that crystal sharp image in slow mo, but you have to be able to film the original scene at a high frame rate. Images with very sharp fast moving edges give Twixtor a very hard time. The edges end up creating weird ghosting that can’t be interpolated away. It’s just too much information for the motion vectors to successfully recreate. 1/8 speed is about my limit for Twixtor. If the camera was capable of 60i or 60p that that means doesn't mean I could slow down that original footage to 1/16 speed. It means that at 1/8 speed I'd have twice as much original information to work with and would therefore get a better result. It also means that I'd still want a shutter speed that was no faster than 1/400 of a second.
    Did you follow that? First rule of slow mo: Film at as high a frame rate as you can with your camera. Second rule: Try and emulate the shutter speed of a film camera that is over-cranked. Third rule of slow mo: Don't try and slow down too much. The amount of slowdown you can successfully achieve depends entirely on the movement in the frame. Unfortunately, the faster the motion, the harder it is to slow it down using software interpolation.
    I spent several months working with re:vision fx on deinterlacing and speed changes in interlaced footage. This advice comes from several hundred experiments on several types of footage and from 40+ years behind the viewfinder of film cameras. I hope this helps.

  • Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

    Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
    What works:
    Drop clip into new comp
    Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
    Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
    Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
    Set speed% to something low, like 5.
    Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
    What doesn't work:
    Repeat above steps... up to 5
    Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
    Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
    Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
    When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
    If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
    Has anyone encountered this?
    In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

    Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
    For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
    If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
    UPDATE:
    I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

  • Problems installing twixtor plugin for final cut express 4

    hello
    im having troubles in installing the Twixtor plugin for FCX4, so far im trying to install the demo, easy enough i've gone through the steps stated from the installing window from Re:visions, however once said it has successfully said its been installed, i opened up FCX4, looked through the video filters and there is no sign of any plugins.
    After the installation do i need to move the downloaded content to a certain location?   
    Please help! such a simple thing, but i really want to try twixtor out!

    Converting is in fact far easier and less troublesome than capturing from tape, especially when using a tool like ClipWrap or the log and transfer window in FCE4. You can see the clips, play them, mark them up, and this is fully random access, without the issues of finding material on a tape, or timecode problems, or timecode breaks. It's actually faster than ingesting from tape.
    "On its way out" is too mild a term; it's more like a dead and rotting corpse. There is serious discussion among people with too much time on their hands and a love of discussing technology that the next version of Final Cut should remove tape capture and tape output entirely.
    BTW, I went to high school in Harrisville, NH.

  • New Black BT Vision box - what is missing, a discu...

    Maybe it's just me but here is a list of things which are currently missing or wrong with the new BT Vision box (black edition with new interface and OS). Thought it might be useful to keep a list of these going which people can add to.
    would also appreciate it if anyone can help with any of these issues in case i've missed something
    Red button doesn't work - believe this is  'coming soon'. you can still access the channels by going to 301 or 302
    Teletext doesn't work - the button pops up a message saying it's not available, coming soon?
    There is no way to set recordings to over run? - this used to be very handy on old box, particularly with live shows. is this being brought back?
    No signal strength tester - you used to be able to check digital signal reception strength and quality from the settings menu, not any more
    Pressing 'play' when viewing a recording doesn't flash up the progress bar - any other good way to do this, used to be handy. Fix: pressing "select" does the trick
    no HD Freeview - the box isn't capable, wondering whether they might upgrade us to YouView later on for this?
    No options to set resolution - used to be able to define 720p or 1080i for instance, not any more
    Sky Sports small white box - a small logo in the bottom right area, not sure what this is or why it's now there?
    Subtitles on iPlayer missing
    Some reported picture quality issues - both on SCART and HDMI
    On the plus side:
    Bigger capacity on the hard disc
    Faster inteface and movement between sections
    Nice new design and sharp interface resolution
    Channel logos / graphics now in the information bar menu
    When in the TV Guide there's still a small box showing you what you are watching on the current channel
    Music playlist
    Bookmarks
    Reinstatement of the 30s jump and better fast-forward / rewind (30s jump doesn't work on Sky Sports)
    Ability to jump to specific point in recordings (you need to start it first, then stop and go back into it to have option)
    Ability to reenter a recording at a time offset
    Icon to show which recordings have been watched

  • Zen Vision M 30GB - How to edit more than one tag at once

    Hello,
    I?m looking for a comfortable way to edit the tags on my player. I?ve installed ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer, but I can only add one file at once. I?ve tried a normal tageditor, but I can't see the player in the device list.
    Does anyone know a tool for editing more than one file at once ?
    Thanks
    Michel

    I do it in winamp, and then i copy songs back to player .)

  • MediaSource Recognition Problem? (Zen Vision:

    OK, I had a Zen 20GB for the last year and I loved it to bits. Worked great, but just before Christmas it fell in some water and died . I replaced it with a 60GB Zen Vision:M and didn't mind too much because I had less than GB of space left and would have had to replace it soon anyway.
    Now onto my question. With my Zen 20GB when I used Media Source (I think v.3 came with it but I can't remember) it would let me search my Zen and edit tracks in it. The search function was IMO fantastic, especially with a music collection as large as mine. Now when I connect my ZV:M it connects fine. I've transferred plenty of music without bother using Windows Media Player.
    However, when I open Media Source (both v.3 and v.5) it doesn't give me any option to explore my Zen like it did when I had my 20GB. I can still explore it using the Zen Explorer, but since this doesn't let you edit the properties for several tracks at a time I find it very frustrating.
    Also, if I chose to "Transfer Music", "Transfer Playlist" or "Sync Music" in Media Source I get the message "No Creative mp3 player is detected. Please connect your mp3 player and try again."
    Now, I know it's connected since I can explore the contents fine in Zen Explorer and I can transfer to it using WMP. Is there something I haven't installed correctly that is stopping Media Source from recognising my player? It just seems strange since it seems to be the only application not working for it.
    Thanks for the help (and sorry if this has been covered else where. I searched but couldn't find anything).

    You must also download and install the corresponding MediaSource plugin for your MP3 player in order for MediaSource 5 to detect your MP3 player.

  • NOT so happy CONCLUSION after all -- Installation of my ZEN Vision M (30 G

    Sunday 2/3/06
    Let's see, I had a problem with losing my AUDIO. Finally, I had to do a full re-install on my S.B. Audigy 2zs. I even moved it to a different PCI connector on the MB. After a full re-installation... sweet sound again.
    As to the Zen itself, I keep having problems.... I am trying to update all the applications (C MediaSourde and C Media explorer) and even there I am finding problems.
    When I download the upgrade file to my PC ([color="#ff3300">CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe), and?try opening it, it HANGS... that's it... so I have not been able to upgrade it. And if I don't upgrade it, then I will have the same erratic behavior will all these applications. They work sometimes and sometimes they don't.
    If I really force the issue, opent the explorer and the MediaSource, where I have my "library" of songs... and WHEN the ZEN is recognized by everyone (This is ramdon condition, sometimes yes, many times no), I am able to drag and drop some songs from my "library"?to the ZEN.... but I?still don't have a clear path to do this consistently... ?
    Tuesday report 2/26/06:?
    [color="#ff0000"](I?don't want anybody to get the ideal all is well now... I thought it was... Yesterday, but not today)
    Today I?was able to?to Rip a couple of CDs and "transfer" them to the ZEN. Some of the songs?have noises?though... I don't know what causes that. But the applications are still buggy, they don't work consistently all the time. I just "sense" something is not right with my PC.
    [color="#ff0000"]No only that... This installation knocked off my Audio!... even though I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs platinum! (Audio Card)... So I have NO SOUND right now?and therefore I can not use WMP-0 to rip cd's because it tells me I have not audio and I am not in the mood to deal the WMP now. So I had to use the Creative MediaSource 5, to do the ripping and the synchronizing. It did the job ok, except for the noise...
    I tried everything to re-install my Audio. Tried the latest dri've...Nothing. Went back to my old one (before this installation) and it DID NOT work either!? Amazing how complicated this has become....
    Monday report 2/25/06: I did not do much on the Zen today. But I did notice the WPM 0, still goes crazy (crashed) when trying to find the Zen. The WMP0 crashed today once. Also, there seem to be some conflict among certain programs... It almost seems as if more than one applications is biding for the Zen when they see it. (i.e. if the WMP is open and try opening the Creative Explorer app... it will not open... but only until I close the WMP...then the apps springs up just like that. That's it. - Good night.
    I SO, IT seems like I am not out of the woods yet... I wonder if I ever will.

Mainly, because it was a difficult installation and I wanted to summarize the 200 or 300 steps/actions I did that led me to solve the problem successfully. I always do this when I have a difficult installation and then I save it for the next time I need it (i.e. changing computers). I certainly don?t want to waste all that effort. One thing I learned about ?technology? is hard to learn it but it can be forgotten so easily, if you don?t take notes.)</i>
    <p align="center">---------------------------------------
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">What was causing the problem?
    Two things:
    First, problems with Windows and the computer itself.
    Second, the Creative applications were horrible at first, they would not open right away and when they did? sometimes 5 or 0 seconds later? they would crash just by clicking on something? and so Windows kept giving me those Error boxes and I kept sending them to Microsoft?(I must have sent at least 00 if not more!) I was also having problems with my graphics, every time an application would crash, then all kind of weird graphics would take place when dragging things around. I also had problems at one time with my Anti-virus/fire-wall Icon going dark after several re-boots, so I had to kick it to get it working?. Oh well, I just want you to get a flavor for how bad things were yesterday.
    When I first installed the software, nothing worked!... My computer was noticeably SLOWER and SLUGHISH? Actually I was worry about my computer itself because I have never seen it this bad!... I thought a virus the size of an elephant had gotten into the pc somehow, no kidding so I ran the anti-virus, anti-spy, just to make sure. Sometimes if you firewall is down, you can get viruses in an instant!... I hope you people know this by now. And if the firewall fails and viruses get in, is just at moments like these? when you are trying to get things to work and downloading stuff from the Internet and so on.
    The computer was just sloooowww? sluggish?.. and crashy (new word?)?.
    I must have rebooted my system from 40 to 50 times, and I am not exaggerating. At some point I even had trouble turning off the PC. There were like three time where it would just sit there in ?limbo? (hung/crashed), so I had to actually switch the?PC OFF on the back of the box, the only way to turn it off? And of course, when you do that, you can be sure you will have all kinds of interesting things when you try to boot up again! (like all kinds of funny displays on my screen, or Windows giving me the ?black screen and white text? asking me to choose a way to boot up, like ?boot up normally? or ?boot up using the last configuration that worked,? (I did this like?7 times all together).
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">So how did?everything go?from ?so bad? to ?so wonderful?? <i>I don?t really know exactly!</i>
    But I suspect three things happened:
    - Windows sent me a couple of upgrades (I get them automatically)? I have NO IDEA what they were, but whatever they were, helped!
    ?2 - As I read and read, things began to come back to my brain. Especially a post reply that gave me the hint (Reformatting the dri've in the Zen) would finally let me ?transfer? my stuff to the Zen
    ?3 - An lastly, after I have ?cleaned, reformatted the dri've, got rid off the ?firmware? (not a good thing to do), Then I could not make Windows see the ZEN no matter what I did!? I did what worked before (connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the white adapter (dungle?) connected to the ZEN). Usually when you do this, Windows being a ?plug and play? OS, it usually ?sees? when a new ?device? is plugged in one of the USB ports, or disconnected from a port, as well. In other words it ?recognizes? the device (connectivity) and if the software and driver are already install, the device should come ali've and work! That is the reason you always install the software and drivers first, and usually re-boot the system once, so that when you connect the ?device? (ZEN), it should work!
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">Let me recap I what happened:
    ?- I installed the s/w and as I already said, it was horrible.
    ?2- The Windows updates, somehow were helping a little bit.
    ?3- I also downloaded the latest updates from Creative.com (downloads/upgrades). I downloaded the ?firmware? (the ?upgrade,? <i>which is the OS=Operating System for the ZEN. Just like ?Windows? is to the PC)</i> and other ?patches? for?the ?creative media source 5? and ?Zencast organizer? (3 updates). I am sure this upgrades helped some, as well.
    ?4- After trying so many times, I was finally able to open the ?Zen Media Explorer? (Icon looks like a picture of the Zen). When this opens, it shows you everything inside the Zen just like in the ?explorer? (nice). That meant I had connectivity! (good).
    ?5- Since I had ?connectivity? (access) to the ZEN, My next attempt was to ?transfer? some files down to the ZEN? but this proved impossible!... Somehow, at some?point, by accident (I?did not even notice it)? I was able to transfer ONE song to the ZEN, which gave me hope. After all, if you can do it once, you should be able to do it again. BUT, I couldn?t
    ?6- Then a nice lady?who responded to my first post, told me she had basically the same problems and the solution was to ?Clean and re-format? the ?Disk dri've?in the ZEN. She said that once she?did that, everything would sort of fall into place? and she was right!
    ?7- I unplugged the ZEN from the PC and read somewhere how ?to clean, reformat, upgrade or replace the ?firmware,? Not sure still, but it'ss something like ?resetting (with a clip) the Zen and holding the ?power? slide in the ON position? something like that, and that brings a special screen with 4 choices:
    Clean<
    Reformat dri've (erases everything!), <
    Replace firmware (careful here!), <
    Reboot. <
    Then it'ss pretty easy?to do a lot of ?damage? in a few seconds!... ([color="#ff3300">careful here if you are not used to the sensitivity of the "touch-pad")In my case I did not care since I had not put anything there yet. I erased EVERYTHING!... (not a good thing). I should have been more careful and simply use option 2 (reformat the dri've). Chances are this would have been enough to transfer songs to the ZEN. But since I get crazy when doing stuff like this, I went ahead a cleaned everything.
    ?8- Then I realized I had erased the ?firmware. As you already know this is the ?heart? of the Zen. (like Windows to the PC). Finally I went to Creative.com/downloads and downloaded it (the full version). But if you remember in #3, I had also downloaded the ?firmware? upgrade as well. The reason this is significant, is, that when I finally recovered ?connectivity? to the ZEN, I? tried both files, but the one that ZEN accepted was the upgrade! (I found this interesting? since I would have thought the full version would have been the correct choice? see?... little things you learn.
    ?9- As I already gave you a hint in #8, once I had the ?firmware? ready to install, the system kept telling me it could NOT see the ZEN. I connected and disconnected the USB cable several times? rebooted the pc? this helps sometimes, but nothing!... FINALLY, I read somewhere, I should go to the ?device manager? and check what was going on.. ? EUREKA ? indeed I found the ZEN with a ?Yellow mark? on the side, which always means trouble. Basically, I used the ?uninstall? option (based of the principle that simply ?un-installing and installing back something? sometimes this works. In other words, the ZEN was ?stucked. So when I ?removed? It from the ?Device Manager? list (I don?t recall if I rebooted here? but it never hurts!), then all of the sudden? a little icon in Windows (on the small tray=bottom right corner (with the clock and Date),? acknowledged?a new deviced had been connected to Windows. (connectivity back again! Yeahhh).
    ?0- Now that had ?connectivity? (Big step), I could try installing the ?firmware. And as I already explained, the ?upgrade? was the one that ZEN took. As soon as you clicked on the file, a box opened and asked if you wanted to install the ?firmware. I said yes and voila!... The Zen started accepting it's and when it ended, just like a PC, the ZEN rebooted itself and I was able to see the familiar interface (the same folders as before) but not contents at all? empty!
    ?- At this?point?I opened the ?Creative Media Source organizer,? went to my ?playlist? and from there, just click and drag some songs and dropped them on top of the Zen Icon (just like dropping files in a folder). And yes, the files were finally ?transferred? to the ZEN. Unplugged the USB cable from the Zen (or the Zen does not play anything). The songs were there and I was FINALLY able to listen to them from the ZEN!... Wonderful. Oh yes, using the same technique (drag and drop), I put a wmv video and was able to watch it as well... Now I know why people rave about the little screen... nice!
    ?2- In the mean time, without noticing? Just like the nice lady?from the post said, everything seemed to have fallen into place!
    ?In Summary: The applications ( the creative programs=icons)?were opening normally and quickly now, and many of the errors I got before when clicking on certain things, disappeared. I am sure I will still find some problems here and there, but basically the thing works now the way it is supposed to.
    ?Just a matter of clicking, dragging and dropping items?into the Zen?.yes, that simple!
    ?Good luck!

  • Image processing with imaq vision with 2 webcams on the same computer

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to set up 2 usb webcams (logitech quickcam for notebooks pro). I want to be able to have them both run simultaneously and do some image processing with the images that I get from both cameras with labview and imaq vision.
    As of right now, I'm having trouble getting both cameras to run at the same time. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

    The USB IMAQ driver will not support running 2 USB cameras at a time (I believe it is a limitation of the DirectShow interface). You could open one camera, acuqire an image, close the reference to that camera and then do the same for the second camera.
    If you need simultaneous acquisition, look at possibly moving to 1394 cameras or analog cameras.

  • Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette

    Hi,
    I have problem and I can't solve it
    Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette, Although I set up NI imaq and NI Vision Acquisition Why??
    Anyone can help me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If the image is already a Grayscale U8 image you would just have to save it to a bitmap file using the IMAQ WriteFile VI. If not, use the IMAQ Cast Image VI to convert it to a Grayscale U8 and then save it.
    Also, it would probably be better to create a new thread for questions like these.

  • Compatibility issue between Netop Vision 7.2 and Lenovo System Update 4.01

    I am just posting this here as an FYI.
    It seems that if Vision 7.2 (perhaps older versions also) is installed, Lenovo System Update can no longer download updates. The list of updates is still downloaded and the updates applicable to the system are shown, but the actual download fails.
    I suspect it may be related to how Vision 7 modifies the network stack in Windows to block web browsing. (Note that I didn't have any issues actually browsing the web with a browser, only downloading in TVSU failed).
    I have a more detailed writeup on my blog: http://svenaelterman.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/software-interplay-issues-netop-vision-7-2-and-lenovo-...

  • Creative Zen Vision M Media Explorer does not work on Vi

    I plugged in my device, all I can see was the name of the device under Portable Devices.
    When I access Media Explorer, it said my device is not connect but in fact it actually is.
    If I copy a file via Portable Devices, it automatically freezes up my computer.
    Any idea how to resolve this problem?
    Best regards,

    You should be able to use WMP 2 to sync your files to the player . As long as the files have album art it will transfer. You can not add the album art to files that are already one the player .You would have to delete & then sync the files that have the art. Also You may be able to use the Zen Vision M Explorer for Vista on the Win7 just install using compatibilty mode for Vista (if Win7 has that as an option) there was one written for 64 bit systems as well as 32 bit. You can tell which is which by the file name. 64 is in the file name for a 64bit system/ 32 in the 32 bit system file name.http://support.creative.com/Products...VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_433,VARSET=CategoryID:23 Click on View all Downloads

  • BT Vision TV Essentials Extra Set-Up Issue/Aerial

    Hi, 
    Ordered BT Vision TV Essentials EXTRA. Don't feel it was made particularly clear that by ordering the EXTRA channels it required the Home Hub to be directly connected to the BT Vision box via an ethernet cable and that powerline adapters were only for YouView BT TV Essentials.
    Our Home Hub is connected to the home computer upstairs, where a new master socket was fitted when we first got BT Infinity. The television is downstairs on the opposite side of the house where the BT Vision box will be. I phoned BT and after originally being told I would have to pay £35 for home installation (which I now assume just means a guy plugging in the HDMI cable, ethernet cable etc) but then phoned the technical department and a very helpful lady said she would send out an OR engineer to help with this issue. However I'm still not sure how the wiring situation is going to work with the ethernet cable.
    Also we currently have a loft aerial but might be interested in getting a rooftop one fitted which I believe BT charge £120 to do. Has anyone had experience with this?
    Thanks

    You'll also struggle to get a fault raised on Vision if you have PLA's as the Indian call centre just won't progress the fault - you'll just be told it is the PLA's that are causing the issue (and in my case, if you use a cable longer than the 10m one supplied, that your Cat5/6 cable is faulty).
    But I can vouch that PLA's DO work with Multicast - well, up until the point I HAD to have my HH3 moved to get a fault raised that is still on-going.
