Cisco DVRs - What Happened to the Buffers?

Hi Folks:
I've had FiOS Triple-play for about 8 months now. During that time, I've had my fair share of problems, mostly with misbehaving DVRs. My experiences with Verizon's tech support were mostly negative (they were able to solve my problem only about 15% of the time). So I have registered on this forum in hopes that those reading it might be better equipped to offer solutions.
I have had lots of experience with lots of different DVRs, but this Cisco CHS-435HD sets a new record for behaving badly. The following is the most recent example of many. On most of my previous DVRs, if you tune to a specific channel and leave it there, 2 hours later you can rewind that channel as far back as 90 minutes and watch from there. I believe that the Ciscos used to do that when I first got mine (June 26, 2012). This feature is handy when, say, you want to rewind the local news to the beginning, and be able to flip through the dozen or so commercials.
NOW al of a sudden, both of my DVRs are only buffering between 20 and 30 minutes. So if I come in at 5:35PM, I'm unable to rewind to 5:00PM. I have done the usual hard resets on both machines. Hence, my question: WHO CHANGED the maximum buffer time? And WHY? .

Wow, this is a new one for me. I haven't heard of it before. I don't own the Cisco. My really old Motorola SD-DVR only allowed 30 minutes. But as long as I've had my old Motorola MRDVR, I've always had the ability to rewind the last 60 minutes.
The reasons I can think of off the top of my head that you can't rewind the last hour:
A recording ended on that channel, leaving you tuned to the same channel, but unable to rewind past the end of the recording.
Someone else changed the channel, then changed it back. You came in after and assumed it was always on the same channel the whole time.
The box was reset within the last hour. Was there a red screen when you turned it on?
An EAS alert interrupted the buffer within the last hour.
Can I buy a vowel?
The standard solution for all things DVR related is:
Menu > Customer Support > Fix FiOS TV Issues > Set Top Box Auto Correction
From here follow the prompts using your arrows and OK button to select and reboot your DVR.
Does this do anything different than just unplugging the box (which was the old stand-by solution)? I don't know. Sometimes it actually works.
Best of luck.

What happens to the outputs when I reconfigure the 6524 card?

I have an application where I want to recongure the card throughout my program. For example I might initially want to set a single 8 bit port, so I could use Dig_Prt_Config and Dig_Out_Prt. Then I might want to output a batch of data using buffered IO so I use DIG_Block_PG_Config and DIG_Grp_Config to configure the card again. My question is what happens to the output states when I do this. If the port is then assigned to a group what happens to the outputs at that point? Do they remain unchanged until I do a Dig_Block_Out or do they all turn off? I guess I will find out when I try it, but it would save me from throwing away code if I knew now,
Thanks,
David

David,
I assume you have the 6534 board. On the 6534 board, reconfiguring the port will not affect the output value. Well, as long as the direction map doesn't change. Anyway, hope that helps.

ISE - What happens when the on-boarded certificate expires?

I'm trying to design a good BYOD deployment model but have a few questions that need direct answers. I have down how to go about on-boarding and getting a certificate on a device, the ISE provides great flow for this to happen in many ways. My questions come from a design perspective before and after the BYOD deployment is completed.
1. Figuring out a method to validate the device is a Corporate asset or a BYOD asset.
     (I don't want to install a certificate on just any device, or perhaps I do but I need to give permissions to all resources if its a Corporate Device, and more resitrictions if it's BYOD, so how do I figure this out during the provisioning phase?)
     a. Use MDM (May not have one, or if you do we are still waiting on ISE 1.2 for that integration)
     b. Build a Group for provisioning admins, if user PEAP-MSCHAPv2 account is from this group install a certificate. (issue here is that the end user looses administration of the device in the my device portal as the device is now registered to the provisioning admin)
     c. Pre-populate MAC into ISE as all Corporate devices should be provisioned by I.T. before they go to the end user (I think this is good but can see push back from customers as they don't want to add more time to the process)
     d. Certs on any IOS or Android device, provide access based on user group and do not worry if device is Company asset or not (I believe that this is the easiest solution and seems to be what I find in the guides)
     e. Other options I have not thought about, would love input from the crowd
2. What happens to the device once the Certificate expires?
     (I don't know the answer to this, my thought would be the user or device will fail during the authentication policy and this creates a mess)
     a. Tell the user to delete the profile so they can start all over again (creates help desk calls and frustrated users)
     b. Use MDM for Cert management (may not have one)
     c. Perhaps the client uses SCEP to renew based on the cert template renew policy and there are no issues (this is me wishing)
Would appreciate some feed back and would like to know if anyone has run into these issues.

Neno,
Sorry but I don't have any other info on using a public CA, Cisco says to use internal CA's for PKI. I think the best practice in 1.2 comes out will be to use one interface for Web Management and a different interface for Radius, profiling, posture, and on boarding. This way you can use your private CA for EAP and a public CA for web traffic. Have you tried a public CA bound to management and a private CA for EAP yet?
I did do a session on EAP-TEAP, they explained how it will work and also discussed EAP-FASTv2. EAP-FASTv2 is available now but you must use anyconnect as your supplicant. Microsoft and all other vendors will have EAP-TEAP native once it is fully released and comissioned as it will be the new gold standard for EAP. It will support TLS, MD5, and CHAPv2. If you are interested I have the PDF of the presentation I attended that shows the flow of how EAP-TEAP will work. This is much better than wasMachineAuthenticated and machine auth caching, which has many down falls.
I currently do machine and user auth I just don't require them. If Machine auth then allow machine on vlan-x with access to AD, DNS, and blah blah. Then a seperate rule to say user auth gets more access, although I require EAP-TLS for both and if you think about it you are accomplishing the same thing if your PKI is setup correctly. Make it so users and machines can only auto enroll, that way you know the only way they got their cert was from GPO policy. I won't go into anymore detail, but there is lots you can do.

What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

hi experts,
i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

Hi,
When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
Hope it is clear.
Thanks,
Vinod.

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".

E4X: What happens to the root element?

I'm working with XML using the E4X notation. I'm used to the "old school" XML APIs that use DOM and I'm a bit confused.
For example, let's consider the following XML
<mx:XML id="myXML" >
<top>
    <sub1 id="uno">
      <sub2>hello</sub2>
      <sub3>world</sub3>
    </sub1>
    <sub1 id="duo">
      <sub2>ok</sub2>
      <sub3>ko</sub3>
    </sub1>
</top>
</mx:XML>
In my code I use the following traces. This is done with the De MonsterDebugger, but all others should work the same way. I have casted the traces to String only to make it easier to ask this question (no need post images)
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML:" + myXML);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1: " + myXML.sub1);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1.sub2: " + myXML.sub1.sub2);
What I get as output is
(String) = myXML:<top>
<sub1 id="uno">
    <sub2>hello</sub2>
    <sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
    <sub2>ok</sub2>
    <sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
</top>
(String) = myXML.sub1: <sub1 id="uno">
<sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
<sub2>ok</sub2>
<sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
(String) = myXML.sub1.sub2: <sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub2>ok</sub2>
All is fine above and this was a bit long abstract for my question. The question is what happens to the root element, in this case <top>? I was trying to access the data with the following notation
myXML.top.sub1; // etc
I spent quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, until I discovered that the root element is not used. Can anyone explain this?
Or, I guess the simple explanation is that the root node is ignored and the sub nodes are created as properties of the object. The question also could be stated as: Why isn't this documented in the Flex API Reference?
Thanks.
P.S. I found this article on common E4X pitfalls which also has other interesting topics when working with E4X.

What happens to the original photo after editing? Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

I just bought my first iPhone(5). On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it. So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

What happens to the while loop iteration counter if it runs unchecked?

I want to use the iteration counter to initialise a value on the first loop of a while statement. ie i = 0, x = 100. Fine. The application I am building will be left to run for weeks or months on end without stopping (hopefully :¬)). What happens to the iteration counter in this situation? Does it reset to 0 or what? I don't want it reinitialising any values while the loop is running other than when it starts.
I set up a while loop to try to figure out what happens and the iteration counter stops at 2147483648 which is 2^31 - 1.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Niel.

It might be something you already looked at, but perhaps it's an option to perform the initialization outside (before) the while loop. That way it will be initialized correctly only once, no matter what the iteration counter does.
Of course if you need the counter for other purposes than initialization you might have the same problem...
Note that a lot of the timer functions also overflow after a certain time (I believe 24 or 48 days?) so be careful running very long loops (but you already knew that probably).

TS2972 I just updated all of our computers to itunes 11 and now when we try to use our home sharing, we can't import songs. What happened to the easily located "import song" feature? I wish now that I wouldn't have updated to the new itunes 11.

I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11. Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to. What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes. Please help an old mother out please!

diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

I enjoy running both versions of Numbers (Numbers 2 and Numbers 3) at the same time. They each have strengths and weaknesses.
Numbers 3 did not replace your Numbers 2 (Numbers '09). Look in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. And enjoy.

What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

Nothing happened to it.
It is still there. Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.

What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

"Switch to Songs view. Everything will be much clearer"
I have no use for Songs view. I always use Albums view (personal preference - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12. Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice. In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not). I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.
