30-40+hours still waiting? here's how i got my working in 1hr.

well, i got mine friday around 7pm. setup phone through iTunes, got a couple activation emails, one that stated it would be ready on JUN 01 1am... well, today (sunday morning) my phone still didn't work. sat in cust server for 1hr... eventually said screw it, went to AT&T store.
the rep was extremely helpful (Jason - Westwood, LA AT&T)... he found out my porting request to sprint was never initiated and somehow tied up in god knows what.
he gave me a new simm card, setup an AT&T account and porting request to Sprint in the store... i then went home and activated my iPhone as if I was an existing AT&T customer.
As soon as I hooked up the phone, in 3 minutes I was making outgoing calls. He said it would be ~3 hours for the port request to finish.
hope that helps... it was 30+ hours for me of ripping my hair out.

Well, I originally had stereo until I updated to the new drivers and my stereo went away.  So I retreated back to the original pvs drivers.  Not sure why the newer drivers are only mono.  Also, unlike most posts I read, my picture and sound quality are excellent.  I have a geforce4 4400, asus A7V-133 motherboard 640mg ram.  I ran a dvd and vhs through the inputs of the msi tuner card, all worked great, even recorded in vcd format (mpeg1).  I don't use the remote since my cable input comes from my digital TV cable box and I switch channels with that remote.   I understand everyones frustration with the drivers, software and docujmentation/support.  I am satisfied with this product, since it adds some more fun to my multimedia entertainment.
I did fine tune station 3 in my setup screen to enhance some color, just moved a couple of ticks.  But, I am not experiencing the hugh problems some people complain about.  (eg. snowy picture).  My am working with my friend that has a real crappy picture.  I have reloaded all my drivers and never once witnessed any poor video and audio.  My suggest is for you to keep playing with it.  Also, i am using ME.

  • Here is how I got Outlook and Q10 to sync

    This isn't overly technical so work with me. The problem is images. If you have images (pictures) associated with contacts it will fail. In my case here is how I got it to work and I had 925 contacts.
    1) in Oultook delete all images associated with each contact you might have
    2) I then did exactly the same thing in by Berry contacts where I had associated images with friends or contacts.
    3) deleted Faceboook and LinkedIn and Twitter apps.. . all of these apps try to link to your contacts and will import pictures which will kill the sync
    4) deleted ALL my contacts from my Berry and reimported them. one way sync from Outlook.
    5) scrolled through my entire contact list and where ever some picture had magically re-appeared, opened the contact, hit the 3 little dots and clicked on links and unlinked what ever the app was that was bringing in the picture. BBM llinks can exist and they don't mess you up withtheir pictures and they won't sync to Outlook anyway
    also under settings I deleted all accounts except for my core account asscoiated with my contacts. This is the one that was my email account.. You can keep your BBM contacts.
    Its a little harsh but I use my Berry for work so be deleting all the fluff such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter I was able to get it to sync and actually sync within a minute. If you need Facebook to survive then I guess you will have to get an iPhone.
    I am sure there is a way that is more sophisticated than the above that allows you access to Facebook but after 5 months of whining and cursing that my contacts and calendar were a mess I decided to actually pay to talk to Blackberry and have one of their people help me fix it
    Good Luck

    The full res images made on the 1020 can only be taken off the phone through a USB connection with a PC. The OS itself is only aware of the 5MPx image.

  • HT201307 My iPad Mini has stopped working with my router.  I honestly don't remember how I got  it working when I bought it, but I can't seem to fix it!!!!

    I need help from a person...  I bought this for educational reasons, it became handy when following the weather and such at home...  It disconnected from my home router, and I need help to reconnect it!  I don't remember how I did it, and I have no idea why it won't connect now....  Help, please.  I need this more than ever - working on a new teaching job, RIGHT NOW...  Need this or I could loose my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Most US users are not on-line during the night.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Here is how I got a high resolution photo to Flick...

    As to how I am getting the high res photo to Flickr, well I upload it from my phone while in Nokia Pro Cam to my ATT Locker account. I cannot seem to get it to cooperate from that point, at least not from my Lumia 1020, but if I log into my Locker account from my iPad 3 and then punch the download arrow at the top left of the screen, it brings it up in all its glory (as it is downloading it will ask to all the pop up, click yes or you will not go any further). Once it has downloaded I email to myself, and it send a long mumbly mumbly link, but in my email it opens up fine, to the full res shot. From there I press my finger down on the photo, and choose the save image option.I then go to my Flickr account, once again from my ipad, choose the upload option from near the top, and click on the top upload files tutones, choose existing phot, which takes me. to iPad "Photos" app/page, click on the high res photo, it appears next to file button in about 4 or 5 seconds, hit go near the bottom of the page, and voila! it will then appear in your Flickr account as the big high res photo. There is probably an easier way if you don't have a PC Or Mac, but so far this is the only way I have made it work, convuluted as it is. Hope this helps someone.
    Here is one example.

  • Here's how to make it work

    Over the last couple of weeks we've had all sorts of problems to get WLCS to
    work. We've finally been able to get it working OUT OF THE BOX (OOB) using
    the steps below. These steps apply to Win NT SP6a, JDK 1.2.2.
    On WIN 2K the WLCS installer wont work and there is a workaround....but I'll
    leave that out for now.
    So, Here are the OOB steps:
    1) Uninstall the 3.1.1 Docs
    2) Uninstall WLCS 3.1.1
    3) Uninstall WLS 5.10
    4) Install jdk1.2.2
    5) Remove the weblogic & weblogiccommerce directories
    6) Download new weblogic server from BEA site (the old one will not work
    anymore as the Cloudscape License expired on Oct 1)
    7) Install new Weblogic Server
    8) Install Service Pack 6 in THE FOLLOWING MANNER DO NOT READ INSTRUCTIONS
    a. Extract SP6 in new directory
    b. copy <SP6>\weblogic510sp6.jar & weblogic510sp6.jar to <WEBLOGIC>\lib
    c. copy <SP6>\lib\weblogic-tags-510.jar to <WEBLOGIC>\lib
    d. copy <SP6>\lib\persistence\weblogic_RDBMS.jar to
    <WEBLOGIC>\persistence
    e. copy <SP6>\bin\oci815_8\weblogicoci36.dll to <WEBLOGIC>\bin\oci815_8
    (used for oracle)
    f. open command console to set environment:
    i. Change directory to <WEBLOGIC>\bin
    ii. wlconfig -JAVA_HOME c:\jdk1.2.2
    iii. wlconfig -classpath c:\weblogic\myserver\serverclasses;
    c:\weblogic\lib\weblogic510sp6boo.jar
    iv.
    wlconfig -Dweblogic.class.path=c:\weblogic\lib\weblogic510sp6.jar;
    c:\weblogic\license;c:\weblogic\classes;
    c:\weblogic\myserver\serverclasses;
    c:\weblogic\lib\weblogicaux.jar
    9) Install the commerce server
    10) start commerce server
    Now, the example portal should work.

    WLCS should work fine out of the box. I have installed it many times myself
    without any problems.
    There was an issue with the WLS cloudscape license expiring if you had
    installed WLS5.10 a
    while back. The solution for this was to reinstall WLS, and apply SP6
    (following the instructions)

  • What happens here and how does it all work?

    ok so lets say i have 3 things running:
    1 model (obejct A)
    2 objects (B and C) which update model A at random intervals
    ok so lets say B tells A to update(params).
    this update takes a long time to finish, meanwhile
    C asks A getInfo() which returns the status of A.
    what exactly happens?
    does the WHOLE OBJECT A get "locked" while update(params)
    is being run? what if A had 100 huge vectors to update
    and had updated only 50 of them when C asks for As latest
    info?
    thanks for the help!

    Without threads and in a single process then whatever occurs first in the code is what occurs first.
    With threads then if the object is synchronized then it waits until the other process is done.
    If not then it gets the data, whatever it is, when it access the object.

  • Does anyone here knows how a while loop works?

    The following code works...
    DECLARE
    zz NUMBER := 1;
    BEGIN
    While zz < 10
    LOOP
    zz := zz + 1;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    If I put a prompt in it like so it does not....
    DECLARE
    zz NUMBER := 1;
    BEGIN
    While zz < 10
    LOOP
    prompt Look THEO I am looping...;
    zz := zz + 1;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    I get the following error...
    prompt Look THEO I am looping...;
    ERROR at line 6:
    ORA-06550: line 6, column 14:
    PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "LOOK" when expecting one of the following:
    := . ( @ % ;
    I get the same kind of error if I put a create, select or pretty much any other statement than an assignment in the loop.
    Am I to believe that a while loop in SQL*Plus is particular to what kind of statement is in it?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    PROMPT is a SQL*Plus command. If you would like to output text to the screen while looping in a procedure you should use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(). This will also require you to use the following command at the SQL*Plus promptSET SERVEROUTPUT ON;Your code will look like thisDECLARE
        zz NUMBER := 1;
    BEGIN
      While zz < 10
        LOOP
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Look THEO I am looping...');
          zz := zz + 1;
      END LOOP;
    END;This will output Look THEO I am looping... 9 times. If you would prefer that it only be displayed 1 time then you can move the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE between the BEGIN and WHILE commands.

  • How I Got Boxee Working On A New Arch Install -- 3/12/2011

    I thought I'd post a log of how one gets boxee-source working as of version 0.9.23.15885-2.
    I recently built myself a new media center/apache server/seedbox and thought I would put arch on it.  The Install was a breeze --- as far any arch install is concerned.
    The only trouble I really had was with boxee --- usually available as a precompiled package, but (as is often the case) in either the AUR or an unofficial repo.
    There wasn't very much useful (up-to-date) information in the boxee wiki page; I tried the repo listed but it required the python24 dependency to install, with which there are problems. See below.
    There are a lot of problems with compiling boxee in arch at the moment, so I thought I'd list each one and what I did to get around them.
    The three AUR packages in question:
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24206
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9898
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16355
    What I did:
    * Downloaded boxee-source package (not the depreciated boxee package) from AUR  (I used yaourt).
    * Ran makepkg -si; saw what dependencies were required (also available in AUR web interface).  Downloaded python24 and db4.5 dependencies.
    * I noticed that db4.5 is an older version; my installed version is 5.1 !!!!
    * To get python24 to compile, I had to edit the  PKGBUILD script in python24:
    1) First, remove this line:
    [ -e /usr/lib/libdb.so ] && echo "make sure you have no other db* pkg installed" && return 1
    2) Then, delete the "db4.5" dependency from "depends"
    * After python24 compiled and installed (I deleted the db4.5 package source folders) I was able to being the boxee compilation process.  However, I hit another roadblock when the compilation aborted at:
    fatal error linux/smbno.h no such file
    Based on comments in the AUR, I downloaded:  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5636456/smbno.h and put it in /usr/include/linux  --- then the compilation would continue!
    Finally, boxee was installed. However, one problem remained: boxee would not play videos.  Literally nothing would happen when I chose a file to play.
    I was able to fix this (again with the help of the AUR commentators) by editing the run-boxee-desktop file found in /opt/boxee/.   I had to add this line:
    export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libva.so
    I had to add it in the same area the rest of the "exports" are in the file; which seemed odd to me. But after that, I was able to use boxee to maximum enjoyment.

Googling this " ERROR: CreateThumbnailFromMemory: exception with fileType: .png" I get a laundry list of php related stuff.  My installed version of php is 5.3.6-1.  Maybe it's somehow related?

  • 6.0 update, How I got it working....

    Okay, I'm good to go and this is how I did it.
    I backed up my iTunes folder to my usb hard drive.
    I uninstalled iTunes 5.0.
    Then I uninstalled Quicktime, which I had installed sperately when installing 5.0(Going by the post in this forum if you installed Quicktime seperately you have to remove it before the upgrade.).
    I went into Programs in My Computer and deleted both the the iTunes folder and the Quicktime folder.
    Then I ran regcleaner, a registry cleanup utility, and removed anything ITunes,iPod or Quicktime that still remained in my registry.
    I ran DiskCleanup and dumped the temp. file.
    I did not remove Bonjour.
    Then I rebooted.
    I downloaded the iTunes 6 update with Quicktime and saved it to disk in a renamed file (I keep all iTunes updates back to 4.8), I did not run the install from the Apple site.
    I quit all my security programs and I remembered to quit Folding@Home.
    I double clicked on the Apple setup.exe and prayed.
    It worked without a hitch.
    Going by Dimtry's excellent post about the 5.0 upgrade the fewer things left over from an old install the better and Quicktime appears to be the most common sticking point. Also Quicktime leaves files and registry entries scattered all over and anyone of them can cause install trouble with an update.

    well done, Joe!
    I was re-reading some of the posts, and there was mention of disabling firewall and anti-virus. So, I did that and QuickTime un-installed. I was then able to get the newer versions installed.
    gack! more common to get interference like that on an install rather than an uninstall (or at least, more common to get reports about it on an install), but it's been known to happen.
    nicely spotted. glad you got things up and running again.
    love, b

  • Mix between MS Outlook Calendar and Mac Contacts - how I got to work

    I've tried to mix my work PC computer with Microsoft Outlook Calendar with my Mac based iPhone. This is how I did it. Can this be done by mobileme?
    For Now it this works with Outlook over USB.
    My Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 windows XP within firewall is now synchronized to my Phone
    It now works great .. even if not wireless [can live with that..at least for now] and even if attachment does not sync no pdf, word, excel or pictures in the notes is synchronized.
    Amazingly simple, I'm sure I tried this before ..but maybe the 2.01 changed something or iTunes 7.7.1 ..
    My set up
    I have my master mac synced to the iPhone itself i.e. iPod/music and pictures
    I have my contacts and mail synced as MobileMe.
    I Turned off the iCal MobileMe
    I connected the office laptop with usb connector to iPhone. ..it asks for where/how to sync photos. [To turn this off: On PC go to Control panel- Scanners & Hardware - Cameras. Select "Apple iPhone" ] and opens ITunes.
    ITunes ask what to do since my iPhone is linked with another computer.. I click merge, make sure nothing on the iTunes is selected ..more than calendar and outlook.
    Appears to sync fawlessy and update both to and from iPhone… subject and location and notes sync but no attachment. Notes have a characther limit. with a meeting request, I do not seam to be able to access participants. With alarm set this pops up even with screen/iPhone locked similar to how a SMS is displayed
    It appears that most of the time I need to reconnect because ITunes reports "ITunes cannot sync information because sync has been disabled…Do you want to enable syncing" Clicking OK appears to fix it i.e. at least fix it temporarily
    Syncing with MS Outlook works with it running but also when not running.
    The first sync took some time, possibly because it also backs up the iPhone [some 10gb data]. Repeated sync takes a minute or less
    ..and in atypical PC fashion you need to restart iTunes and disconnect iPhone from time to time.
    Great!

    The HP applications no longer work under Snow Leopard. Support for printing and scanning with HP devices is now built in to the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. Updated HP drivers are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    I was unsure about which HP software to delete so I used the HP uninstall app to delete it all. Unfortunately, it deleted the new Snow Leopard installed drivers as well. I then had to download the HP driver set from Apple to restore functionality. Printing is just as it was before, but scanning is done differently and feels a bit strange at first. All in all, it is probably a good thing as I always found HP's software to be a bit clunky and crash prone. I do miss being able to scan from within Photoshop via the TWAIN selection, though. Perhaps that will return in time.

  • How I got Xorg working under Optimus

    I have just gone through the process of installing Arch Linux on my laptop(Dell Latitude E6420, NVS 4200M + Intel IGFX), without any major issues.
    I used the Beginner's Guide, the Bumblebee wiki page, and the 'installing X' wiki page to assist my installation.
    However, after trying to run X, xinit, or startx, the screen dimmed down and displayed only a single, unblinking white underscore in the upper left-hand corner. CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doid not break out of that, nor did the (CTRL+)ALT+Fx keycombos work either.
    When I pressed the power button the system would cleanly exit  and shut down.
    I started rifling through the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.xonf.nvidia and saw a very helpful section of the file comments:
    http://ix.io/fhV
    (for those of you that don't know, ix.io is a command line paste service.)
    After following those instructions, I set Option ProbeAllGpus to true. lo and behold, startx worked and gave me my twm desktop.
    I hope this helps some people. It just goes to show you that reading file comments is something worth doing, and often.
    **EDIT: So far only startx and window managers work under this method. (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190379)

  • Dv7 -4295us Lost It's Coolsense App? Here Is How I Fixed Mine.

    HP dv7-4295us
    Windows 7, 64 bit
    After a recent HP Support Assistant (HPSA) software update, my DV7 lost the CoolSense application. This is a useful app for me because I use my laptop for a lot of number crunching, and it often stays on all day too. With CoolSense gone, my CPU temps were higher than I liked, so how to get it back?
    Reading through these forums told me that other people were having the same problem, on other laptop platforms that is, after HPSA was last updated. As I thought about it, I realized the same was true for me.
    A few related threads gave me the framework for the solution. But after a few false starts I realized these solutions were for other HP laptops, and not mine. So I could not follow their instructions literally.
    So here is how I got my CoolSense back.
    1)      In Control Panel, Programs and Features, delete HP Software Framework. Reboot.
    2)      In Control Panel, Programs and Features, delete HP Support Assistant. Reboot.
    3)      Delete any shortcuts to CoolSense or ThermalManager in your Start Menu listings.
    4)      This is important. Go to the DV7 HP Support webpage, and download and install HP Software Framework 4.1.6.1, which is SP53546.exe. Reboot.
    5)      Go back to the DV7 HP Support webpage, and download and install HP Support Assistant 6.1.12.1, which is SP54620.exe. This version has CoolSense on it. The newer version, 7.0.39.15, that was on my laptop, does not have it.
    6)      At this point, CoolSense was back on my laptop, Hurray!
    Now be sure to set up the HPSA to ask you to install updates and not automatically install them. I will skip any updates of the HPSA program itself, until HP includes CoolSense in them.
    I hope this works for any of you DV7 owners having the same problem I had.

    Thank you for the fix!  I rely on my CoolSense also...Cant wait to try it....God I hope the hp support site still offers that when I get there...I have dv7-6195...

  • How I got 48.11gb FREE on my MBA SSD.

    Got the MBA today and i am LOVING IT.
    Here's how I got 48gb free -- and my reasoning behind it...
    1. I followed everything in this article -- http://guides.macrumors.com/CompleteSteps_to_Perform_a_Clean_OS_X_Reinstall_on_Your_MacBookAir. I remote installed using my old PBG4's drive. It took about 1.5 hours. The short install time was most likely due to the fact that there was very little to install!
    In the article, for Step #10, *I unchecked everything*.
    For the bundled apps, my reasoning was as follows: I don't need official help documents (200 mb) b/c these are all online... iWeb is worthless... iMovie and iDVD are similarly pointless on a computer w/no DVD drive (and I've never used them once since they came out)... Garageband might be useful to musicians but that I am not... iPhoto -- while nice to have -- has largely served as a conduit to get my pictures up into Picasa. Photo editing and viewing has all gone online these days. I'll most likely need at least the Picasa Uploader in the future, but I'm going to hold off on iPhoto for as long as I can. (However, I'll miss using the trackpad to rotate and zoom in on pics using iPhoto.)
    When and if I ever need these apps, I can remote install them using Disc 1.
    Note: during the install, I didn't need to insert the second disc b/c I unchecked XCode, which I don't need.
    2. As the article suggest, I also manually deleted the voice files in the System folder.
    3. I then bought a license for xSlimmer and dumped all of my apps and utilities into it, freeing up about 700 more mb. I was hesitant to do this so I backed up all of my apps (a feature of the program) to an external hard drive. Obviously, the backup can't stay on the MBA -- I need the space!
    Note: Despite my hesitations on app instability, 90% of what was slimmed came from Mail, iTunes, Address Book, etc, apps that still have 17 useless languages even IF you chose to ditch all languages besides English in Step #10 of the MacRumors article.
    4. I deleted Chess... If I ever need to play it, I'll play online -- w/other people as it was meant to be played!
    *5. That puts me at 48.11gb!*
    6. My philosophy going forward -- and the entire reason I bought the MBA -- is to be as online and web app-dependent as possible. That's where the future lies and part of the reason I bought into the MBA philosophy (while an expensive one) is b/c I believe in this trend. I'm an advocate of an online existence and as such, I'm going to try to live in such a manner.
    Future apps I'll most likely dump -- Mail, which I don't think I've even opened in a year... iCal, which I only keep b/c I sync my Google Calendars to iCal and then to my iPhone... Dictionary, which is inferior to more complete online dictionaries... Stickies, iChat, Time Machine -- again, these are all cutesy apps, but realistically, the first two are now done better online (meebo, gChat, facebook) and for the latter, I don't see the point of being a zealous backup fiend if I have nothing to backup in the first place! (Although, I've done just fine w/SuperDuper the past 2 years.)
    7. For my iTunes library, which is over 200gb, I bought a Western Digital 320gb Passport on eBay for ~ $100 and plan to listen to music w/the external connected while at home.
    While on the go, I'm pretty good w/the 16gb on my iPhone.
    Also, music is now so 2.0 I enjoy discovering and hearing music through services like last.fm and Pandora. (If iTunes were ever to become more of a social network and be more open, they could really have something, but I think Songbird might have already beat them to it...)
    8. Future apps I'll most likely install -- Scrivener, iWork, Camino (a second browser is always nice), VLC, xTorrent.
    9. I also plan and hope to one day upgrade the 64gb to a 128. This AnandTech article -- http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=3226 -- is the single best review I've read of the MBA. It leads me to believe by the end of the year, upgrading to a 128gb might be possible.
    Sorry for the long post. I just though I'd share some thoughts w/everyone.
    - david

    Thank you!
    I haven't read all of your post yet but from what I have read I believe we are in agreement. I have copied it into my notes on the MacBook Air. When I get $ together and get my MBA I will definitely be going back and studying your post in detail.
    Thanks again!
    PS: you lucky dog!

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.
