That altronis one looks like the office works comsol but a 4K version. maybe return get another. The Jaycar unit is other that has worked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydeco Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 How well does the Fetch Mighty do with media on the local network? We switched to the original fetch when our TiVo died but found that it was quite clunky when streaming movies from the local network with, for example, DVD covers not being displayed ... Has this area improved with the latest models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a reference for this? My understand is the issue is much less nefarious ..... it is simply that many devices do not correctly implement the creation of multiple keys correctly, and so cannot function correctly with a repeater that offers more than a certain number of outputs.

loki65 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @zydeco I stream my movies from my server (MKV) using WIFI, don't use covers. No issues at all, had been using a WDTV live and the Fetch is a hell of a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Something I find rather interesting, we have a series tag on food safari...well what notice if start watching from the first one recorded. when get to the end of that episode... it automatically loads up the next one... pretty much seamlessly... kind of like the series play that the tivo had...nice touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 ooh looks like Code 1260 works for enabling the fetch tv remote to work for the pio kuro. now if I could just work out what the code is to work the fetch to run the vol and mute buttons on the marantz av processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surprisetech Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Went by HN Knox on Friday evening and had a play with the Fetch Mighty that they have set up there. Downloaded the user manual and had a read through as well. Only thing that concerns me in the manual is that it says if you're without internet for more than 48 hours the box locks up and can't be used at all until you get your internet connection back. Anyone experienced this? Probably won't be an issue. We do have outages where we are, but only rarely for longer than a day. But it does seem a bit extreme to me. How much EPG does the box store? Surely more than 2 days! And there's other stuff the box can still do without needing the internet. Am I being cynical to suggest that they don't want to encourage activity that doesn't expose you to paid content? Anyway, pretty confident the other half will be happy with the User Interface, so pulled the pin and put in my order with my TiVo discount over the weekend. Now for the wait.

betty boop Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 no not experienced. epg seems to go for ages into future. just set up my channels that dont include paid content. if dont want to see that. theres no need to disconnect it from the internet if down want to see paid content available. like the tivo i would suggest its not a good idea to keep disconnected from the internet for extended periods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops110 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've had the Fetch mighty for quite awhile now. I really like it,so does the missus which is a bonus. We have one issue at the moment. When I select 2160p 60hz on the Fetch it plays ok for a little bit but goes very grainy, so I have to switch back to 1080. The Fetch is connected to a Denon X1200 and then connected to my tellys hdmi 2.0/hdcp2.4 port. Not really sure what's going on. I have just upped the speed on my nbn connection but it won't take effect till the next billing cycle, the Fetch is hard wired to my modem. Any advice would be great. cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki65 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 @Pops110 Maybe one for the more tech minded. But thought were on 50hz here, or does it not matter?? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops110 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hey Dave, thanks mate. That was a mistake on my part, I meant 50hz. But it does the same on both 50-60hz, I then have to go back to 1080 to get rid of the graininess. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalhome Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I have had a Fetch Mighty for some time now and I find the video scaler to be "average". On HD broadcasts the picture is great, but pretty poor on SD broadcasts. I will admit the Panasonic DVR's do a much better job at upscaling the SD channels compared to the Fetch Mighty.

I've left mine on 1080p50 and am getting better result PQ wise than what was getting on the tivo. picture has better contrast/sharpness punch to it. the tivo just looking a bit more washed out and soft. so happy wiht the move across interesting how you go with the nbn pops... let us know when your bandwidth goes up ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops110 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Bit of an update. I have a wired Ethernet connection to the fetch box but not to the Denon or Xbox. So I bought a powered 5 port switch box to connect everything up. The speed of the nbn has also been upped. So fat everything is working great. Taking the Denon and Xbox off the wireless seems to have improved the internet speeds across the board, I think. I have also just replaced the hdmi cables with the Comsol 4K cables that @:) al recommended. Finally getting 4K through to the telly. At least that’s what it’s telling me. I switched the fetch to 2160p 50hz and there has been no issues like before. Picture looks great. Very happy to get it going for a small outlay. cheers Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulie83 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I purchased a TiVo in around 2009 second hand on eBay. Last year I sold it just before the announcement that support was ending (dumb luck on my part). I ended up selling it for more than I paid after using it for many years. I put the sale proceeds into a Fetch Mighty and couldn't be happier. The fetch used to have a few problems with the sync between it and the AVR which required the fetch to be restarted. But it hasn't done it for ages, so I assume it was updated and the problem fixed. Hopefully it doesn't go the way of the TiVo in the future!

k3nnis888 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just picked up a fetch mighty. What is the best resolution to select? 1080p@50hz or 1080p@60Hz? or something else? for smoothest video. I find on some of the paid channels motion is not so good. I won't be using netflix or any of the apps. Just paid channels and maybe some FTA. I have a samsung MU6100 4KTV but when I select 2160p@ 50 or 60 it won't work could be my hdmi switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
