[IceTV] Setting up a new T series always sets the IceTV device type to "Beyonwiz T3"
Issue #549
resolved
When the IceTV setup wizard is run on a T series, the device id 22 ("T3") is always sent to the IceTV server, no mattter what the model is. It should use device type 31 for T2s and 30 for T4s.
The device type (as long as it's a Beyonwiz T series device) doesn't appear to affect the IceTV service behaviour.
This is probably a legacy from before other models existed.
Replication steps
On a T2 or T4 that has no associated IceTV device, go through the IceTV setup wizard (MENU>IceTV>IceTV setup wizard) and create the IceTV device.
On the IceTV server page for the account check the device's settings entry in My Account>My Recorders>Device name>Settings. The Device Type entry will be Beyonwiz T3.
On the PVR, the /etc/enigma2/settings value for config.plugins.icetv.device.type_id will be 22 (for Beyonwiz T3).

I've contacted IceTV support and asked what their preference is if the plugin can't identify the device, and suggested a generic device type might be added.

Dave at IceTV replied on Tues (22 Nov) to say that he'd passed the suggestion on to Daniel.

When the IceTV plugin was being written, IceTV were aware of T2 and T4 models, but explicitly asked to have one device ID for all T-series devices.
If the IceTV stance has changed and they now support multiple models, then I suggest implementing using the following list:
IceTV may need to add the last entry to their systems. It should be the fall back option for users of other brands / distributions and possibly for any future models, if/when they appear. In other words, if it is not possible to exactly match T2, T3 or T4, then fall back should be Generic enigma2.
