Alright i would share 1 thing.....(these issues are solved now)

After i posted here, i felt like trying out the recorder. I set a schedule & then went to sleep. When i woke up i saw -

1) I got the message that there are "2 recordings" going on, i need to stop 1 of them, to change my channel (I had set only 1 schedule, still it showed 2)
2) When i gave the nod to stop 1, it didnt even show me which 1 i can stop :O.....the dialog box was blank.....:O - Which 1 should i stop, to get the STB working properly??
3) I couldnt Play/pause, rewind/forward......
4) To add to the woes, the "Recorded programme" showed me the message that i didnt have the rights to record!! :O :O :O....

I immediately restarted the STB & mailed the Online Team at around 1 PM.
They must have directed an engineer, who called me up by 4:30......i started with the 3rd & 4th problems listed here. And he immediately must have understood - He didnt even listen to any other complaints & said "I will call u in 5 minutes".

After 5 minutes, he called up & said - now all your issues should be settled. To my surprise, all was well, as if nothing had happened!! I called him again and asked him what was the issue.....he said "You were not having the rights to access DVR functions - it happens sometimes due to oversight".

I ended up laughing at the whole scene!! I had gone ahead thinking so many negatives & it was this silly reason!!

The only things now pending with me are - Remote's responsiveness is a bit "Funny", and minor signal related issues. He has promised me to send someone today. Hope that this also gets solved early!!

Regarding worth of channels - i wise advice.....Travel XP HD is just awesome!! The others are worth too, but this 1 has caught my eye - coz
1) I am least interested in Zee HD - Mom likes to watch daily soaps on it.
2) Movies NOW - I watch very few English Movies....somehow, i never feel inclination to watch too many English movies.
3) D2h Movies - how many times do u watch a movie over & over again?? Quality is good, but u watch a movie once/twice....
4) NGC & Discovery - look really good, but ultimately shows are very similar to the regular channels - so its kinda repeat for me.
So, Travel XP is a true novelty here.......people who have less time to visit places (i am that unlucky 1), can actually have a tour thru this channel.....such true colours & sound - i listen to it in my 5.1 channel set!!

By the way, i dont know if any other DTH is giving this channel or not.....

903 - Test Channel - Mostly this is Zee HD, coz when i compared the regular shows' quality, i saw that this channel had a striking improvement.
907 - Movies Now HD
909 - HD D2h Movies (Free Movies, not PPV)
933 - D2h Music HD
936 - NGC HD
937 - Discovery HD
938 - Travel XP HD - people may take this lightly (I did early on) but its awesome!!
949 - Test Feed - Totally no idea yet....(can u check which channel is that??)

Thanks Dilip for the advise. I just called up BSNL Broadband Customer Care and they said the speed I am getting depends on the distance from the exchange. I asked what about the speed promised according to the plan. They could not give me a satisfactory answer. I think I should wait till morning cause I think BSNL Customer Care do not have the right people in the night shifts.

WOW thats sweet, never even imagined in my life.
Trust me mg, as soon as i will have cash i will opt 4 hayai.

I have 1 question, so what to do with the hathway modem?? Is it company's property or i can keep it 4 experimenting?? Or should i bother to call them and disconnect my line permanently??

Ya, I guess.

airtel sabko mamu bana raha hai. :@

Finally BSNL ended the happy day i.e UNLIMITED PLANS and replaced them by 15-35 GB plans.:wall::cry:

Reliance wire-line broadband, if it's feasible.

BC amount to 111

Univercell has it for 10,144 :D

:rolleyes:

I'm a Vodafone postpaid subscriber from the last two years and have never faced such problems. I have changed my plan couple of times via Vodafone portal. Keeping my fingers crossed. If such things happen with me i'll just dump the connection right away and will even file a suit against them in Consumer Court.

HD channels are already in MPEG-4 since July 2010 when TS launched HD service, no HD service can be in MPEG-2.

^ I tried it long back. Works smooth. Don't use any longer.

Forgot to mention two more frequently used ones - Skype and Swype. Both awesome.

England should get this one - Though would love to see an upset here :P

BSNL's upload sucks!! only 0.31,

All are opening .. No problem what so Ever! NO site is blocked on ISP!

Call the call center - if things dont change in a day ...ask for the replacement box

Working fine for me in Mumbai - Hathaway

This is news ...anyone else got the credit/offer ?

Let us knw how does the shift to reliance goes for u. I too have been a MTNL user for years but now i m tired of the current issues that keep cropping up. I have been pushing on hoping that Hayai wud start :P but thats gonna take another 5-6 mnths i guess. :(
Btw if i am right the Reliance connection is a metro ethernet in mumbai?

When internet censoring came up.

Raise your complaint to nodal officer of loop..No use talking to CC or visiting their gallery...

hmm..new to the forum and enjoying a lot :grin:

Start > Rum > cmd > ipconfig/flushdns and check.

In case of dth services they have limited amount of Bandwidth available so they won't add much channels . But in IPTV they can add 500+ channels . What is the problem with Myway ? They have sufficient space to broadcast channels ,but not adding any new channels . How many years we have to wait to watch HD Channels in BSNL IPTV ? They don't know the fact that if they add more channels they get more subscribers [In India Quantity is more important than quality] .

Thanks for the links guys. Who will bell the cat, indeed!

I did try to buy the router from outside. It was not any cheaper locally. On top of that I was warned by the private sellers themselves that if purchased from outside, BSNL gets disinterested in providing routine help with the router when needed!

I've also learned that the verbal promise (before purchase) of one-year warranty on the router is actually an one-time replacement warranty for a year! i.e. if it stops working after just one month, it would be replaced with another unit, but that will be the end of warranty coverage!

Yeah.. I was talking about a general picture only. There might the occasional one-offs , also I saw LG O1 at 13k when it started & I still see it more near 12k than 11

CDMA is not very popular in india .. they offer good quality but not many handset available ....

Thanx for the reply.
I know that I could do as per your explained setup, WBR=>ooma but i want to connect ooma first with ISP cat-5 cable because WBR has not any Qos feature whereas ooma has it. If I connect WBR first and meantime, any computer comes online, the bandwidth will be shared and ooma may suffer some voice quality. Therefore, It is better to connect with OOMA first to get better performance and deliver the rest of bandwidth for WBR.
I am still not understanding the problem with OOMA. As I think there is a problem with MTU in ooma which can not change. It detects automatically.
I also contacted with tech support of OOMA but no result.
I think I have to buy another separate router for OOMA to keep it online 24x7......

Waiting for reply if anyone has something in mind.

Thanxxxxx mg again.

By the way, About the mac. I have double checked from ISP side, There is no mac bound for me. And Also I have changed ooma mac to my pc. It still does not work.

humm .. so am paying the more than both of you still both are missing from here ..............

Yes have already set up the forwarding option in another of my surviving gmail account. The one which got disabled was kind of secondary email to me, but can't even imagine what I would have done if they had done something similar to my primary gmail id.

It is now clear that the STB for Hi Definition from Samsung that SD gives has only HDMI output and no signal in the composite and S video.Connecting the AV output to AV input of TV or PC tuner will just give the menu but no HD signal.So only people with LCD HD TV or LED HD TV can use the set top box.....but Tata sky and others offer all the outputs.
:wall:

I have Projector with AV input and VGA input. will there be any quality loss if I use STB AV/Component instead of HDMI ?

I have shifted to Firefox beta builds and I must admit that after a long time, there has been a credible worthwhile option in the Open Source. I have always aligned with open source; though I have been using Opera as my default browser. The annoyances come in when one can’t customize the software to [...]

Some minor changes

According to my cable guy it will take another 3 to 4 months for them to come up with HD set top boxes

I spoke to my cable guy, it is Rs7500 now. DVR has 160GB HDD. So apprx. 50 hours or recording. He told me that apart from normal cable charges, you need to pay recording charges as well it seems. Recording charges are free for one year. He doesn't know how much will be the recording charges.

MG?? Wer that people from HNS?

I was always of the mind that there is ALWAYS a loophole in India for everything, and one can even get away with murder if he/she exploits the loophole in some way.
Mobile Number Portability was about to change that idea, but I just received a message on my Dad's no (Loop Mobile) that reads like this:
REQUEST REJECTED BY DONOR DUE : SUBSISTING CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS FROM THE SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT.

NOW, an absolutely HOPELESS service like Loop Mobile that dare to even call themselves mobile service providers (dropped calls, frequent cross connections, extremely poor network etc) has the guts to send a message like this when ALL OUR DUES are clear, ALL VALUE ADDED SERVICES unsubscribed, and EVERYTHING else in proper order.

I am so angry that I can go to any lengths to get my message across to the highest of authorities.

Please guide me through this.

This is a NEW MENACE FROM Telephone Companies against Mobile Number Portability, their nemesis.

ADMIN doesn't stay in Gurgaon. OPERAMANIAC do :P

Hey, but sorry to say that cannot perform a full scan in Malwarebytes, as in after like 20-30 mins my computer shows BSOD, and system shut downs.

Currently i am using GMER which dilip suggested and did find exactly what avast found.
Now, GMER is scanning my full system in SAFE MODE.

I chose safe mode with networking this restart.

Try resetting your modem and configure it again. Won't help much if you have bricked your modem, still worth a try.

so you want both mobile on android platform ... have a look at this one .. bit costly .. but worth looking into this ...


Samsung Galaxy S LCD I9003 at Rs. 19499 in Flipkart for Pre-Order

ALERT ALERT!

I wanted to activate Google SMS channel SMS so i sent "START 6" to 1909

But as someone already pointed out, my request was rejected, stating that, "FULL DND is active so request was not accepted" (something like that)

So I sent "STOP 0" to 1909, and i got response "saying that request was accepted"

Then I sent "START 6" to 1909, and what response do i get???
"We are unable to process your request, as per telecom norms, DND service cant be activated within 90days of previous activation"

What a stupid RULE??? I am sure RULE is not stupid but they have interpreted it wrong.

Now my number is vulnerable to SPAM ATTACK.. because DND is disabled.

What non-sense!

Always Make sure ur main account balance is not zero or negative ( goes upto -ve 10 rupees ). Even if u ve done data recharge, it wont work without positive balance in ur main account.

I usually set my TV volume at 30 units and TS + STB volume at 3 units. This works fine for almost all channels. However, while switching channels, the STB volume goes up to 10-12 on its own. When I reduce it to 0 and increase to 3, it gives same volume as it used to give while it was at 12! This happens when I switch from non-HD channel to HD channel.

what can we do.Well for starters sue the govt against IT act 2008.It was passed witout debate.I am in touch with various advocacy groups and finally ,FINALLY we have a website dedicated to this.IT is PRIVACY INDIA which was setup in collaboration with center for internet and society Home Page — Centre for Internet and Society.


Look what the SC has said
Privacy disappearing due to technology: SC - CIOL News Reports

FILE PIL.Ratan tata has at least filed a case against phone tapping.All we need to for some big NGO to file amicus curie(friend of the court) and ask the SC to interpret "right against unreasonable search and seizure" under article 21.

If you are asking the forum itself, the software..then i am sorry it has no life! :P

Friends,
Where can i get 3g data cards which works on ubuntu 10.04 from private ( not from service providers) in coimbatore or chennai.

I preferred Hauwie E176 and Teracom LW273. Any others?

do ppl still use midi as ringtone?? i thought every1 uses mp3 and other formats now. Though i have to admit that there are some good midi tones out there!!

U have to be patient.

At times there are people who suggest so much, that threads run into pages......but sometimes it needs time to take momentum. Wait for a while - help will be assured!!

Lets hope both brothers together come out with something good??

I do not see the Kenyans repeating 2003 on SL pitches. Should be a one-sided match.

Tennis ranking is simple...

u play 18-19 tournaments in a year, includes 4 grandslams, 8-9 ATP 1000 tournament, 3-4 ATP 500 tournaments and 2 ATP 250 tournaments.

points calculation is based on last 52 weeks...

now Djokovic was winner of Dubai open (ATP 500) last year too... so 500 points of last year gets deducted but since he won it again.. 500 pts of this year gets added.. so overall it means.. his total score remains the same, nothing gets added

Federer didnt play this tournament last year... so ZERO points get deducted and 250pts get added for reaching final.

I updated my wa3002g4 modem with your firmware but after updating my modem internet led goes on whenever i switch on the modem no internet is working.....!

It is BBG FN Combo 600 which gives Rs. 0.20/- per MB for usage upto 5 GB ; Rs. 0.10/- per MB thereafter.

Source : .:BB COMBO:.

BBG Combo ULD 1350 has 4 Mbps upto 20 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB. Not all are lucky enough to get 4 Mbps as the speed depends heavily on line condition. Expect somewhere around 2 Mbps. But if you are lucky, you may even get 4 Mbps.

LOL.. good one.
