Can't change channel since update

Yesterday I switched my box on and was prompted to update it (which it did at about the third attempt).
However, since then I can no longer change channels with the remote.
If, for example, I want BBC 1 I can't just press the one button because it doesn't work.
The box registers that I have pressed one because at the bottom of the screen it shows BBC 1 or whatever channel I've chosen but it just flashes up with the channel/programme information but doesn't change.
It's also the same on the tv guide.
If I press, say, seven it won't go to BBC 3.
Any ideas how I can change this?

OK. Mine must be the old, old type.
Try here if this helps. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49676/kw/Remotes/c/348,2802/session/L3RpbWUvMTQyMDEyM...

My apple airport intermittently drops so I have no service. Can I change channels on the device?

Why does my apple airport intermitently drop service? Can I change the channel on the device?

Yes you can, although the AirPort is by default set to "automatic", which is generally the best choice. Automatic picks the best channel when the AirPort is started up.
I would advise rebooting the AirPort. If that doesn't work, try moving the AirPort to another location if possible. Use iStumbler to determine the best location.

I can't change channels by typing in a number or selecting it from the guide

Good morning,
Yesterday we noticed that we are no longer able to change the TV channels by typing in the numbers or selecting a channel from the guide. When we attempt to change a channel one of these ways, it acts like the channel is about to change but then it just stays on the channel we are already on. The only way we can change the channel is by hitting the up or down button. Did we accidentally change a setting or is their something wrong with the box. Help...Please!!!
Thanks,
Steph

Reboot the box.

Can't change channels on Airport Admin Utility

When I go into the Airport Admin Utility and go to configure my Airport Express Base Station which I play my iTunes through my home stereo, it initially will show the channel setting for about a half a second and then it shifts to a different screen that shows:
Base Station
Name:
Contact:
Location:
(Change password...) (Base Station Options...)
AirPort Network
Wireless Mode:
Wireless Network:
Wireless Security: 128 bit WIP
(Security Options...)
(Wireless Options...)
I can't figure out how to get back to that screen that initially flashed up to change the channel settings.
I'm having dropping issues playing music through my home stereo and a number of posts recommend changing the channel or the multicast rate and I can't get back to this screen!
Can someone help me figure out how to get back to this setting screen?

Change the value in the "Wireless Mode" window to "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to get the channel option back. If this doesn't work, you may need to do a "factory default" reset to get it back to it's "out-of-the-box" condition where this would be the default mode.

How do I fix bad static? Can you change channels?

love the headset! It fits great and the base is the bomb! But no matter where I use it I get horrible static. Is there a way to adjust the channel or something? Or do I just have a bad headset?

I've tried 5 or 6 different BT headsets as well as the included Apple headsets and the Vibe Duo.
ALL of them have some background hiss or static, so I assume this is a fault of the phone or ATT service (I wish I had another model ATT phone to test and narrow it down). I've had 3 iPhones with the same problem, so it seems to be indicative of all iPhones. The noise gets worse when driving.
Noise reducing headsets work best (i.e., Plantronics 665). The Jawbone only reduces noise in one-direction (outbound to the person on the other end). Plantronics works in both directions.
I wish Apple would take a look at this issue. But I won't hold my breath, because an Apple "Genius" just basically looked at me like I had three heads when I told him about this.

Can I change wifi channel on mac book pro (Lion)?

After installing Lion I have WiFi connection time out problems on my mac book pro.
After much effort when the macbookpro wifi is able to be connected with my NETGEAR router (wifi setting set on channel 11), connection is slow (speed=1 or 5) and the channel is 6 not 11. Can I change channel (on mbpro)?

Channels are set by the access point - your Netgear. If your Netgear has 2 or more antennas, it may support a multi-channel mode which can be a little confusing since you could very well have it say "11" but your MAC say "6". Also make sure "automatic" channel selction in the Netgear is OFF (see below).
When I encounter problems like this, and it used to work fine, it usually turns out to be one of::
- Interference from phones, 2.4 GHz is used by many cordless phones and headsets. Having one near your MAC or between your MAC and the Netgear will knock you off of WiFi.
- Interference from other access points. If anybody near you is also on Ch 11, then your MAC will struggle to connect and be very slow.
- Automatic channel selection can cause constant channel hopping. MAC OSX takes up to 3 minutes to discover the channel has changed. I always turn this feature off in the Access Point. You should check to see if any other acess points are nearby, and what channel they use. You want to use one that is as far away from anybody else.
- Non-standard features. Your Netgear may support non-standard Wireless modes that your MAC does not undertsand. For diagnosis and troubleshooting I usually turn all enhancements OFF. Debug with "-g" or "-n" only. And disable multiple channels.
Channels 6 and 11 are common defaults, so I would not be surprised if you need to switch to channel 1 or 2.

Need help with my TOP Box--can't change the channels

I can't change the channels, go to Guide or Menu by using the Remote Control. (it's not the remote control because i use this remote for my other topbox and it works fine)
This happened a few hours after i had my Fios installed. (at first, it let me change the channels, then 5 times,2 and now i cant)
Does any one have the same problem and have a solution for this?
Thank you very much.

do the front display buttons work? and how close is it to the tv, some tv's create IR interference, and if the set top is too close then it acts how you are describing.
three solutions if that is the case.
move the set top box further away
change the TV brightness and color settings from the "vibrant" setting or whatever brightest they have and then try again
Get an IR Extender so that you can move the IR 'eye' - verizon can send you one, they have them on their site or you can buy one at radioshack.
try moving it further away for a test only, or try to get like a piece of cardboard and shield the eye from the TV. So if the TV is on top put that piece of cardboard inbetween the two, if they are sitting side by side, then put it inbetween the tv so it shields from one another and try it again.
Might not be your problem, but we have seen it before.
Also don't forget to do old faithful, unplugging the power for the set top box, wait 30 seconds plug it back in resolves a lot of minor hiccups.

How Can I Change The Sample Editor's Audio Output Channel?

Hey, new to logic, im using a Motu 828mk3 interface,
The Sample Editor is playing out on differnt outputs(1-2)
on my interface than my audio tracks in the arrange window,
my audio tracks are assigned to out 9-10 in the mixer section
which are the Main outputs on my interface, How can I change the
audio output of the Sample Editor to play out of my interface's main outputs(9-10)?

Change the output of the Prelisten mixer channel to the outputs you want it to play from. The prelisten channel is used for the sample editor and the Apple loop previews... you'll find it in your mixer somewhere in the high audio channel numbers...

HT4587 I was trying to change channels on my airport express and I hit "Forget" on the devices and now my computer can't locate the airport express device. What do I do?

My airport expresses are not showing up in my internet options. I was trying to change channels between the airport utility and the airport expresses and they didn't reset properly. I then hit "forget" on the options...now they are no longer visible. It's a nightmare. How do I get them back?

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

Can Wi-fi channels be changed in iPhone?

My iPhone recognizes other people's wi-fis in my building but not mine. The wi-fi is working or I would not be able to send this on my computer.
Is there a way to adjust the settings on the iPhone other than just turning the wi-fi on?
Thanks.

No - just like you can't change settings with a computer that is connected to a wireless network. Changes need to be made to or with the wireless router.

Advanced CAN Frame to Channel Conversion: Error with LV 8.5.1

Hello!
I´ve tried to read in a DBC-file with the "Advanced CAN Frame to Channel Conversion Example" on a LabVIEW 8.5.0 system and it works fine.
On a LabVIEW 8.5.1 System I get the error:
Scan From String (arg 6) in CAN FtoC Parse Channels and Mode.vi->CAN FtoC Parse CANdb Messages and Channels.vi->CAN Channel Data Import.vi
Does anybody know a solution for this error?
Thank you for your help,

Hi!
It is a problem of localized decimal point.
In a german Windows, LabVIEW will use Komma as decimal point.
So the Scan From String.vi will convert string 0,21 in a double but not 0.21. From the file dbc you receive the values with period "." that's why it create the error 85.
You have 2 possibilities: change the localized decimal point in LabVIEW (Tools -> Options) or you say to the Scan From String.vi to use "." as a decimal point.
Go to CAN FtoC Parse Channels and Mode.vi and search the 2 Scan From String.vi
Add at the beginning of the Format String %.; so that the format String will use the "." as decimal point (see Attachement).
After that the example will work.
Best regards
Ken

How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

Hi all.
someone of you could help me?
How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

Hi.
Making CSS changes like this is currently only possible off-line, using the JDeveloper-like Skin Editor. This is described in our blog post here, a demo on our YouTube channel in this video, or the product documentation here. Coming soon is an online 'theme editor' feature which allows this kind of customization online. I would recommend that you raise a request with the Cloud Operations team to verify if they support the addition of custom skin files, otherwise you are limited to the online branding options currently available.
Kind regards

How can I change the frame rate mode?

Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...

Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"

And there i can read that the "frame rate mode" is variable... and that's the bad thing... I want to change that point to a constant frame rate mode. I use the H.264 codec

5-7 sec delay changing channels from HD to Non Hd.

I have a 26in LCD Samsung Hd TV model LNS2651dx got it in 2007. The first comcast set top box I got it was connected dvi and I had no problem with this issue.
But the box went bad so comcast brought out a DCH 3416 set top box and it was connected HDMI and this was the first time I noticed this 5 to 7 second delay changing channels.
It only happens when I go from hd1080i to non hd 480p or vice versa. So I thought it was the set top box so I had comcast replace it. So they brought out a new one a DCH 3200 and the same problem is still occurring.
Now is it my TV or is it this brand Motorola comcast settop box DCH series? or even the hdmi cord 3.1 which is new?
If I put the 4:3 override on stretch it doesn't do it because it thinks every channel is in 1080i, but I'm not sure if this is safe for my TV, because some have said people look wider then they should be. I noticed on a hd channel a skinny person, but when I turned to the non hd version he was wider.
So back to my original ? What is the problem with the delay is it taking time to figure out the sound and picture, that's why there is a delay. But why don't I have this problem with dvi? If anyone can help that would be great.

Different box, different box settings, and different technology.
