Channel unavailabl​e ONGOING issue with only 1 TV - please help

I have had tech support out to my place no less than six times for various issues. The last time they tightened a cable and said it would be fine - again I am having problems and it is only on one TV.
The problem:
I turn to a channel - currently Weather and History  (sometimes others)- and it shows unavailable. I reboot, bla bla and get same result. This only happens on one TV. The scifi channel currently is pixelated with poor reception. I also had a problem with a show I taped that stopped in the middle and never re-started. I call but get the same - reboot, bla bla then send a tech. They can never fix it - it seems to correct itself at some point (of course always before they send a tech).
The interesting thing is that it is only on my living room TV - not the bedroom. I am really tired of calling tech support or changing my schedule so a tech guy can come out and not find a problem. Does anybody have any ideas or thoughts? I could really use the help!

"The channel being unavailable is usually caused by the box not being activate correctly. when the box was installed it automatically tried to activate."
That is incorrect. 
If it said "not subscribed" then that would be an activation type of an issue. 
Currently unavailable is a signaling issue.  most commonly with the coax, sometimes with the splitter, and sometimes with the box itself

  • Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

    Hello everyone.
    I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
    after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
    Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
    http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
    As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
    This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
    If any one can help, please.
    - Rudy
    P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

  • Major Issues with iPod Touch - Please help!

    Hi, I am having major issues with my iPod, and nothing seems to be going right. It all started a few days after I got it for Christmas. I would wake up, and my iPod would be completely discharged even though it had a full battery and was turned off. I woke up one night and found that it came on all by myself. I sent it into iPod, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Since I got it back today and within six hours, I have had four software crashes to the point where I have had to uninstall iTunes and restore factory settings four times. I am now on my fifth crash, but this time, the screen won't even come on. It keeps saying that it is in recovery mode. I simply went to turn it on! Does anyone have any suggestions? Personally, I think there is a short, and that I need a new a replacement. However, it doesn't seem like Apple is very supportive of the idea. I go through all of their steps over and over and over, and the same thing happens! What is going on? Please help.
    Marie

    sounds like, for the charging problem anyways, that you are just putting ipod into "Stand by" mode... press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds and an option to power off will actually come on.. if u just press it and let go, it just goes to stand by.. i have noticed stand by drains my battery
    also, it doesn't sound like a short to me... the charging i am pretty sure is bc you are only putting it into standby however, the rest sounds like software.. did u try and restore using itunes or did you just reset the factory defaults?? Plug it into itunes and click restore under the ipod menu...

  • Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

    I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
    First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
    Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
    At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
    One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
    again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

    hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

  • Issue With Adding Layers - Please Help!

    I am having an issue where Photoshop is not allowing me to add any kind of new layer to images that I'm editing.  It won't allow it while it's a .NEF or after it's become a .PSD.  If I open an image that already contains layers and is saved as a .PSD, then it allows me to add layers no problem.  If I start a new blank document it will allow me to add layers.  It's just not allowing me to do it with files that have been imported within the last week.  It doesn't seem like a system resource issue since it allows me to add layers to older files.  If you have any thoughts on this please help!

    Well... sort of fixed it.  Apparently my system doesn't like editing images with a color depth of 16bit.  If I convert it down to 8 when I'm converting it from RAW, then it allows me to add layers... Is this normal?

  • Strange issue with iWeb site, please help

    Hi everyone,
    Until recently, I've been keeping an iWeb blog of my time in India. Nothing too complicated, just stories and photo albums. However, recently something strange has happened, and the website is no longer displaying correctly. It looks fine in iWeb, and when I publish it in a folder and open it locally, everything is fine. However, after uploading it to my hosting provider, it looks like this:
    http://www.egbertopreis.nl/India/
    (screenshot of what it looks like here: http://egbertopreis.nl/website_screenshot.PNG )
    This is a screenshot from iWeb of what it should look like: http://www.egbertopreis.nl/iWeb_screenshot.png
    I'm using the 'darkroom' theme, but as you can see, something is clearly wrong. It is not displaying the menu correctly, the layout looks strange and it isn't loading any of the articles. The other pages are accessible if you navigate there directly, but there you have the same problem.
    It looks like, for some reason, the CSS and javascript elements cannot be loaded, although I have no idea why this might be the case. They are all just static files, and it worked fine until about a week ago.
    Although I'm an IT professional, I have literally no idea what could cause a problem like this. I went with iWeb because I wanted to use an 'easy' solution and not over-engineer something for once
    Usually what I'd do in a situation like this, is just purge the whole site and re-upload it. However, since I'm traveling around, I don't have fast internet access anywhere and the site is now so large that it would take forever to completely re-upload. This is also the reason why I can't troubleshoot it properly myself...
    Any help (or even words of encouragement :-)) whatsoever would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: Heliode
    Edit: Forgot to mention what I already tried myself;
    - deleted the HTML and XML files and let iWeb do 'publish changes'. Everything was re-uploadeded, but issue remained.
    - Deleted the 'Scripts' folder on the remote host, and manually re-uploaded from locally published folder. No effect.
    - Tried randomly changing layout items in the hope that any potentially corrupted files might be overwritten after publishing. No effect.

    Hi Roddy, thanks for your reply. It wasn't just me though; a lot of other people from back also reported the same issue. I was also getting the same thing from behind a wired connection. You can still see and experience the issue yourself if you look here.
    I've since 'resolved' the issue by getting a .Mac trial account. A friend helped me move the whole blog over there, where the site works as it is supposed to:
    http://web.me.com/eggmeister/India/
    Therefore the issue has to be with the hosting. Right now I'm suspecting it might be some obscure configuration issue with the hosting company's server. Maybe something like too low a setting for Apache's 'MAX REQUESTS'. This might cause issues with all the javascript going on in the iWeb pages, loading elements back and forth. I'm in contact with the hosting provider, and will let you know what I find. Might be useful for future reference.

  • Several issues with iPod touch. please help!

    Ok. So i have several issues going on with my iPod touch. i got it for Christmas in 2010, i have recently updated it. after the update these issues have happened.
    1. Screen won't rotate. Photos won't rotate. The screen won't rotate for horizontal keyboard use. Even for some apps that you have to rotate the screen, it just wont rotate. i have tried everything! i have read other discussions about this issue and they said there is a lock with an arrow around it in the top right corner, in my ipod there is not.
    2. After i updated my iPod i noticed about 20 of my songs went missing! they are no where to be found on my iPod AND my iTunes! I purchased all of those 20 songs and am kind of mad they randomly disappeared. i have looked in every place a song could be and they are not there.
    3. I have recently downloaded some apps and wheni went to try them, they would almost load and then crash and go back to the home screen. a bunch of my apps do that now. i have tried restarting my iPod and i have tried to open the apps like a million times and everytime they crash and goes to the home screen of my iPod. they are all free apps. some of the apps are: Impossible Test: summer, angry birds, angry birds: rio, angry birds: seasons. some of them i have been able to play a couple times, then they randomly stared crashing.
    someone please help me with these problems! thank you!

    For #1:
    - Have you restored the iPod from backup?
    - Have your restored the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod?
    If restoring from backup does not solve a problem then your likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    For #2:
    If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes then you can redownload music via the iCloud beta.  See:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you can contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload.  See:

  • Ongoing Issues for 8 Weeks - Please Help!

    Hi, I'm currently dealing with Comcast's legendarily awful customer support. I've tried a multitude of avenues, with the exception of this one, so in the hopes that maybe someone can help me here, this is what I've experienced in the past 8 weeks: June 1: Move into new townhouse. June 6: Attempt to setup Comcast internet and TV services through a 3rd party subscription company. $40/mo for Blast (50MB ) internet with a $75 VISA gift card, TV already provided through my HOA fees. Credit hard inquiry pulled for this subscription. Never got the $75 gift card. June 7: Attempt install of my own router/cable modem. Modem does not work. Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: no internet. June 8: Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: no internet. June 9: Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: 3rd party didn't actually create an account. Hard credit inquiry pulled (second one), $25/mo for 25MB internet and TV again included in HOA. Internet works, TV does not. June 10-16: Girlfriend (who is authorized on the account) attempts to pick-up cable boxes. Told that she cannot because she is not the account primary. After multiple phone calls to customer support, she finally is allowed to pick up the boxes. June 16-19: Attempt to install cable boxes, again with multiple customer service calls. Issue is traced to an incorrect rate code entered. Rate code correct, still doesn't fix cable boxes. End result: No TV June 20 to July 2: After multiple attempts to get cable boxes to communicate and failing, a tech visit was created. Tech visits house. My girlfriend was present for the appointment - I am an electrical engineer and did my best to explain to her what the issue is - there is a terminator at the external cable box preventing any signal from entering the house. She attempts to explain this to the tech, who dismisses her and says the issue is the satellite dish on the roof, which isn't even connected! July 18th: After trying to remove the terminator myself and failing, I call customer support and set up yet another tech visit. I am given a visit date of August 3rd (16 days later - completely insane), but promised that the agent will escalate the appointment and have someone call me back within "2 to 3 hours". I am still waiting on that particular callback. July 22nd: Spend multiple hours in online chat with 3 separate agents. My thought process was that by having everything in writing, maybe someone would actually do what they promised. I was promised bill credits for the unusable cable boxes and a callback within 24 hours to reschedule my appointment to an earlier date. Never got the correct amount credited, and I am again still waiting on that callback. July 27: Finally get aggravated enough to email the Executive Customer Care line. I am promised that I will hear from an agent within 24 hours.  July 28: Get an email from the agent in broken English, addressing me as "Mrs." XXXXX (I am definitely not a "Mrs.") and claiming that he tried to call me earlier in the day (I had no missed calls or voicemails, and I was not on my phone at all that morning). I email him back immediately and he promises to follow up with me. I hear nothing for 4 hours, so I email the executive customer service team again. Instead of directly helping me, the inform me that they'll update my ticket and let my agent know. An hour later, I finally get a call from the agent informing me that although it is the end of his work day (which somehow ends at 3:45pm), he will try to get my appointment moved and he will definitely credit my account. He tells me that if I don't hear from someone from the local dispatch team that day, I would definitely hear from him first thing the next morning (the 29th). Shockingly, I don't hear anything from the local dispatch team that evening. July 29th: Don't receive a callback from either the local dispatch team or the agent helping me. I sent several emails to the main executive customer service line and am only told that my ticket would be updated and my agent informed. That does me absolutely no good, since my agent isn't helping me! My account still hasn't been credited, I have the same appointment date, and I still have 2 hard credit pulls on my credit score! My problem isn't overly complex or difficult to deal with. I don't want to be a thorn in Comcast's side, but I am being pushed in that direction because no one is assisting me, just passing the buck from rep to rep until I fall through the cracks. I am going to have to file complaints with the FCC, FTC, and BBB because of the appalling lack of customer service. I bill over $70/hr for my time at work, and I have wasted at least 50 hours during working hours dealing with this. I don't think it's unreasonable to want my issues resolved promptly when I've basically flushed $3500+ down the drain dealing with pure incompetence. If there is anyone who can actually help (and I don't mean telling me that someone will call back in the next 48 hours - because I've already fallen for that ruse a dozens times or so), please get in touch with me.     

    Hi wth1,
    Sorry to hear about all the problems you had getting this resolved. I do see you were able to speak with someone yesterday who was able to assist you and come to a resolution. Please reach back out to us if you have any other issues. 
    Thank You

  • Issue with Tomcat + Struts  please help.

    I'm developing in Struts Action Framework using Tomcat 5.5.12 as server, Eclipse IDE with Exadel plugin for Struts development.
    My application right now only uses a single .jsp as my view component. This jsp, called index1.jsp uses <jsp:include page='body.jsp' /> to dynamically include the output generated by my application, in this case a jsp containing the body of the page.
    The problem is that whenever I'm testing my app, the jsp:include tag doesn't seem to find the dynamically generated html, but the ones that are already there... I always have to use the Exadel plugin "republish" feature and then it works..
    Any help will be much appreciated

    Well... sort of fixed it.  Apparently my system doesn't like editing images with a color depth of 16bit.  If I convert it down to 8 when I'm converting it from RAW, then it allows me to add layers... Is this normal?

    Any idea of what I could do?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    It's not really a shortcut issue, but really the way everything's rendered in the canvas. Yeah, ok, cmd+Q doesn't work though (as for other shortcuts too). I can select, but everything stays selected, I can drag & drop elements, but they stay selected unless I select something else. I've searched many discussion forums, and nothing seam to help.

  • Issue with calculation script - please help

    There is a script that I am working on that needs to track the changes made by the user on the data form and push the entered value down proportionally to the lower levels.
    It’s a signal dimensional spread. It needs to spread the parent level values entered by the users for the product dimension to below levels. The Products are in rows.
    The issue is that the users can enter their data at any level for the product dimension i.e. either at Level 0 product members, Level 1 product members or at Level 2 product members. I am using two accounts A & B in sync to track the changes made.
    The structure of Product dimension that shows up on the form is similar to this –
    ~ Products (The user can enter starting at this level and also the below levels)
    ~ Product A
    ~ Product A1 (Level 0)
    ~ Product A2 (Level 0)
    ~ Product A3 (Level 0)
    ~ Product B (Level 0)
    ~ Product C (Level 0)
    ~ Product D
    ~ Product D1 (Level 0)
    ~ Product D2 (Level 0)
    This is what I came up with so far but it’s not working in all the cases yet. Please give your suggestions to modify this script further to make it work the right way.
    FIX(P, Y, H, E, B, D, C, V, C, S, @Relative(“Products”,-1))
    Account(
    IF(“AccountA”->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)) <> “AccountB”->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)))
    AccountA=AccountB->@Currmbr(“Product”)/AccountB->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)))*AccountA ->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”));
    ENDIF;
    ENDFIX;
    FIX(P, Y, H, E, B, D, C, V, C, S, @Relative(“Products”,0))
    Account(
    IF(“AccountA”->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)) <> “AccountB”->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)))
    AccountA=AccountB->@Currmbr(“Product”)/AccountB->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”)))*AccountA ->@Parent(@Currmbr(“Product”));
    ENDIF;
    ENDFIX;
    This is not working right in all cases and I am sure I am going wrong somewhere. Please let me know your ideas on how can this be achieved.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Toshiba M35X S109, having great issues with installing software - PLEASE help.

    I have a Toshiba M35x S109 and lost my harddrive.  I installed a new one and tried to reinstall software from the Toshiba Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD.  When I first tried this it came up to the first page that said to press F1 for ok or F2 to cancel.  I pressed F1.  Then it went to the warning page telling me that all the data on harddrive would be lost if I continued.  Press A to abort or C to continue.  I pressed C.  It took me back to the first page again.  This happened over and over. 
    I called tech support and they told me I had a bad disc and could either get a new one or install from a full version of Windows.  I tried that as I have a full version of Windows 98 and an Upgrade version of Windows XP Home Edition.  I got the Windows 98 on and get to the desktop but can not seem to get the keyboard to work.  Mouse works, but keyboard does not work at all.  Reinstalled Win 98 as instructed by Tech Support and it worked.  Then we hung up and I did as they instructed and tried installing the upgrade to Win XP home ed, but when I needed to input the product key - again the keyboard does not work.  URGH.
    I called tech support back again and was told the previous tech support gave me bad info.  This guy said I needed to install from the Toshiba restore disc and left me with a million instructions that I did not understand on how to erase the harddrive of the Win 98 and then start over with the Toshiba restore disc. 
    I am so frustrated and confused and really need some good advice and help.  I have the 98 installed but the keyboard is not working.  The pc initially had the Win XP on it.  I will likely upgrade to the Win 7 if I get this going but can't get past this issue.  What should I do?????
    Do I need to erase WIN 98 and start again from the Toshiba Restore Disc?
    If so, why would the Restore disc not work when I initially put it in and try?  This problem continues to reoccur with the old and new Toshiba Restore Disks.  What else could be causing this?
    Can I go from Win 98 and fix the driver issue or what ever it is and move on with the rest?  How do I fix the problem with the keyboard?  
    ANY AND ALL HELP is very much appreciated!  Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did the flash complete, or shut off prior to finishing? If the former there is a chance, but if the latter there is little that you can do at home to fix this (as in, if you need to ask you have neither the equipment or the skill set to fix it yourself).
    Do you have the Intel or the ATI graphics on your laptop?
    What bios revision was on the laptop originally? If you don't know that then why were you trying to update the bios as you wouldn't know what revision to install? Plus, it would have come with at least rev. 1.0 installed already so why would you want to install that again? Trying to install an older revision over a newer one won't work without some specific flags added to the command.
    Did you flash from a startup disk or from Windows?
    Can you get into the bios settings by pressing the F2 key (or whatever key that model requires)?
    Have you tried a reset of the system by doing the following. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds.  Now replace the battery and AC and see if you can now access the BIOS when it starts to power up. 
    Are you sure that the new hard drive is properly installed AND working correctly? Did it work prior to what appears to be a failed bios flash?
    I'll try to help, but I'm afraid this might be a bad flash which will require sending (or taking) it to a qualified repair shop/technician who has the special equipment and skillset to reflash the bios using an Eprom burner and that will run you about $100 or so the last time I checked.

    A few weeks ago, I installed the 10.6.3 update (standard, not combo), and after everything was said and done, I was left with an incredibly unstable system - virtually all non-Apple software would crash on launch. I repaired my permissions, repaired the hard drive (which was fine, just a precaution), zapped the PRAM, etc. Eventually I managed to download the 10.6.3 Combo Update, applied that over my previous busto patch, rebooted, and everything worked just fine.
    Until yesterday.
    Last night, I installed Security Update 2010-003 - and all of those problems came back. By the time I rebooted to go into "Safe Mode," I had somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 application crashes - the only apps I found that didn't crash were Safari and Disk Utility (and Finder, Dock, and things of that nature). Repaired permissions, rebooted, and...
    Kernel panic. Safe Mode yielded a different kernel panic. Anything I did other than booting from a CD caused a kernel panic. So, I restored from my last Time Machine backup, and now everything is just fine.
    So - I've now had two absolutely catastrophic software updates in a row. I'm not even sure what this suggests, as my machine was completely stable and working like a dream before each of these updates - and is back in the same condition now. Does anyone have suggestions on where I should be looking to see what is wrong, or tools I could run to figure out why my computer turns into a very angry paperweight after applying patches now?

    Hi C&A,
    I know it may sound a lil freaky but i've done some research on this matter. It's basically a technical error in Apple's Software Updater, the connection between the internet & software disconnect or timeouts due to lack of high internet activity which is the main reason why the speed starts to decline while downloading the iTunes.
    Solution. This would only work well if you've got a broadband, otherwise this can take alot of time.
    *Start downloading iTunes from the updater, within 2 mins... log in to your Facebook, email, keep clicking on pages every 20-30 seconds, as this will keep the connection stable, keep doing this till the iTunes downloads completely.
