Connecting HP Pavillon dv7 to Dish network Service

I recently purchased a HP pavilon dv7 with a built in TV tuner. I have cable tv through DISH network and I m struggling to get my laptop connected with my DISH cable service. I have tried the analog TV antena that came with the laptop and I m able to recieve free channels on air.
The instruction manual for the TV tuner setup asks me to take a co-axial cable from the DVR "Out" port and connect it to the laptop using the co-axial adapter provided. However I do not have a co-axial "Out" port on my DVR. I do have another TV connected directly through a co-axial cable. I tried connecting the laptop to this coaxial cable and still I m unable to detect any TV channels. Can anyone please give me some tips on what to do to get my TV tuner card working with my DISH service.
Thanks in advance.

Dish Network is not cable TV, it's satellite television.  You need to hook your Dish Network Receiver directly to the tuner; remember, you also will only see channels that work the same way they do that's hooked up to your regular TV, meaning either channel 3, or 73.  Then, you use the Dish Network remote to tune the channels.
IMO, you do not wish to hook up Dish Network to a laptop, since you can't tune in any channels without using there receivers!  If it was a stationary desktop computer, that would make more sense.

  • How to keep connection of network service in win8.1

    Dear sir / madam,
    i would like to ask how to keep connection of network service in win8.1, after i logout / switch user/ sleep.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Did you have any issue on your computer?
    The network is disconnection when you logged off the computer. This is expected behavior.
    The network is stayed connection when you switch the user.
    For sleep mode, check the following setting:
    right click the network device in Device Manager and go up to the top and hit
    Power Management. Then uncheck the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  • Remote access and network services problem

    I have a Mac Pro with two IP configs:
    Ethernet 1: 69.##.##.## /255.255.255.248 [hidden for public forum security]
    Ethernet 2: 10.0.0.20/255.255.255.0
    My primary needs:
    Able to remotely access the Mac via Remote Desktop using the public IP. Local LAN connectivity using 10.##.##.##.
    Setup:
    I have a 10 public IP address from my ISP and using one of the 10 now. Everything pings OK.
    Question:
    How can I customize the network service so that I can select the Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2 port to use? So far it forces me select Ethernet 1 for all of the services selected. I'd like to use FTP & Web Server & Remote Access on the Ethernet 2 (public). The rest is LAN. I notice that Appletalk is only allowable on a single IP.
    Quick experiment with the Internet sharing using Ethernet 2 (public) to Ethernet 1 failed to provide the desired forwarding result.
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I think you need to go further into the settings and define FTP etc. to the specific Ethernet. There are also settings Automatic and where you define your connection. I have a 3 inch book that I will look at to see if they address it. I to plan to do something similar, but haven't got there yet.

  • Deployment issue - Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'

    I am attempting to deploy a site from my development PC to my server. I have no issues running the site on the server using VS2010 Express Web in debug. All page queries are working within the debugger. The connection strings are identical between the PC
    and Server, except the host name.
    connectionString
    ="Data
    Source=SOCIALSERVER;Initial Catalog=Intake_be;Integrated Security=True"
    However, when using the site normally via IIS, the pages containing data access are failing with a permissions problem. The non-data access pages render normally.
    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'
    Looking at the SQL2005 instance via SQL Management Studio, I see security folder with Logins under the Server. NTA\NS is listed as a user login. But, I also see similar folders under each
    of 3 databases. NTA\NS is not listed as a login specific to my target dB.
    My site is for internal (intranet) use only. There is no internet access into my IIS. This is my first deployment into production. I think I only need Windows Authentication but I lack the experience to make a good decision. My goal is to allow domain users
    to access pages that produce read only data. But, I also need controlled access to pages that can modify data. I used the native winform template for ASP.NET 4, which includes some roles based security.
    How do I grant permissions for internal users on the pages that access SQL data? How does that security model work with the native roles based security? i.e.
    add
    name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"connectionStringName="ApplicationServices"...
    etc.
    Thanks for your time and patience on this Deployment 101 type issue.

    hi,
    You receive either of these error messages specifically when you use integrated security.
    To resolve you can use one of below.
    Method 1: Programmatically change the security context of the ASP.NET worker process to a user who has the correct SQL Server permissions.
    Method 2: Change the default configuration of ASP.NET so that the ASP.NET worker process starts and runs under the context of a user who has the correct permissions in SQL Server.
    Method 3: Grant the correct permissions in SQL Server so that the ASPNET account (or NetworkService account, for an application that runs on IIS 6.0) has the appropriate access to the required resources.(Go to the Computer Management >> Local User and
    Groups >> Groups >> Right Click and go to properties on IIS_IUSRS >> Add appropriate user.
    Thanx, Mark as answered if you are ok ..

  • I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

    Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
    The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
    I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
    The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
    My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

  • Using the Embedded Web Server To Connect A Wireless Printer To Your Network

    AKA:No Wireless Setup Wizard Button, which would be way easier.
    The Prelude
    Some entry level printers do not offer a 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button, or a menu option that is accessible from the front of the printer. Printers that do not offer this luxury option, can still be easily configured to communicate to your router if you have a Mac or Windows PC.
    You still may have an easy option to get your network settings configured in your printer, if your router supports WPS. I personally do not like to use WPS as it can bring its own frustrations. WPS is not within the scope of this document.
    This document is geared towards the last available option, and in my opinion the best option. It can however be the most involved option. I am referring to using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Most modern network capable HP Printers have a setting page that can be accessed from a web browser. The process is rather simple, but many confusing hiccups can occur, and that is what I hope to prepare you for.  There will be variances for different printers. I am using my experience with consumer printers that have been around the last few years.
    First, do not get overexcited about this document: Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server. Don't get me wrong, it is a great document, it's just that the instructions, while accurate, will not work until your printer is configured to connect to your network first. We will revisit this later however.
    Seatbelts Please
    The first thing we need to do, is have the printer broadcast its own network, sometimes referred to as AdHoc, sometimes referred to as Auto Wireless Connect. To do this, you need to navigate the menu system of the printer, and find the option to reset the network settings, network defaults or something similar. If your printer has the Wireless Direct feature you won't need to reset the network settings, but this is a perfect time to make sure Wireless Direct is turned on. If you aren't using Wireless Direct, the timer starts. Generally speaking, for the next two hours, the printer will broadcast an 'HP Setup' network, or have some variation of the printers name listed in available wireless networks. Regardless you should have plenty of time, if you read it all first and then went throught the steps.
    *Preparation:
    Here is where you want to use your favorite device, one capable of seeing 2.4ghz networks. Android phone, Apple iPad, Chromebook, Windows or Mac Notebook that you decided not to install the printer software on. Any of these devices will work. Apple iOS devices required a bit of coddling, as Safari doesn't work well with the EWS Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Do you know your network SSID? What about the passphrase, passkey or whatever the security word is called?
    If you didn't set it up, and just started using it when the internet guy installed it, then there is probably a sticker on the router with that information. If you still can't find it, call your ISP, router manufacturer or favorite family member for help to find that information (If you use a family member, remember to buy them something nice on the next gift giving holiday in your region).
    *Apple iOS specific, device preparation:
    1. You will save yourself a lot of frustration by downloading the Chrome Browser for iOS now. Go ahead, I will wait...
    If you are installing Chrome for the first time, when it completes the install, open it, and get passed the greeting and tutorial before continuing.
    2. You need to forget your home network connection when you are done with step 1. Just hold down on your home network in the wireless networks list, and 'Forget' the connection (or find the arrow that leads to the same option). If you do not take this step, it will reconnect to the home network once you run the Wireless Setup Wizard, causing you to have to back track.
    3. Be aware, when you connect to your printer's network, that it may appear to not connect (ie. spinning wheel, no confirmation) to the printer. This is a known behavior. Just close the wireless settings, and proceed as normal.
    Begin The Journey
    Open up the wireless section of your device and look in the list of available networks and tell it to connect to the HP printer network. The SSID will usually start with HP, and may have the printer model or the word SETUP in the name. Once you are connected (see "Apple iOS specific, device preparation #3 if you are using iOS), it is time to open your browser, preferably the Chrome browser when at all possible. In the address bar type 192.168.223.1 and press go or hit enter. I use the colloquialism 'hit' when I just mean 'press' again, sorry for the redudancy.
    If all is well, you should see a web page that should refer to your printer. Now is the time to find the 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button. Most printers should have it here on the main page of the EWS. Just take your time, it may not be obvious at first. Once you press it, the setup process will begin. Follow the instructions. It should see a list of detected wireless networks, and you can select your home network. Then if it requires a password, it will prompt for you to enter it. At the end of the Wizard, it might say something about not being able to test it, or show a page cannot be displayed screen. This is OK. This means the printer is now talking to your router and not your device in your hand.
    Proof Of Concept
    You can now tell your device to scan and connect back to your normal home network. Once you connect, you can verify if you can see your printer. Keep in mind, with dual band routers, that the printers will typically only be visible on the 2.4GHZ network, so your device should also connect to that network as well for testing. Once connected, now we need to find out what IP Address the printer has. Remember the document I started with “Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server”. It now is relevant, and you can complete those instructions to make sure you can see your printer on the same network. If your device can enter the printers EWS with its new IP, then you have officially connected your printer to your network. Also your printers wireless light should be solid, indicating communication.
    If It Worked
    Now the fun begins. If you are setting up ePrint, and if there is no option to configure ePrint from the front panel, find the Web Services tab, and proceed with that process. If you are setting it up to a Chomebook, you still need to setup ePrint (if it is an ePrinter) before configuring Cloudprint... but that's another document.
    I hope I have not missed any small detail that pertains to your configuration that made this hard to follow. Any comments would be welcomed to improve this for future use.

    That printer also has a USB port why don't you connect it using that port?
    If you insist on using ethernet, Mac OS X can create two network connections at the same time. On the iMac you can configure one of the network connections to be wireless and the other to be wired using the ethernet port.
    Since you already have a wireless network configured and connecting to your AirPort Extreme for Internet access all you need to do is plug in an ethernet cable from your iMac directly to your printer and configure them to use self-assigned IP addresses. Self-assigned IP addresses take the form of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and are used in this configuration to avoid any conflicts with your other network. You have to configure the iMac and the printer to each have a unique IP address in the self-assigned range, just make each of the last group of numbers in the IP address different, and then the iMac should be able to print to the printer.
    Note that when you configure the Imac and printer this way no other network devices will be able to print

    I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
    I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
    Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

    I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

  • How do I connect two VMs in the same cloud service?

    I want to setup a DB cluster with two VMs in a single cloud service. My DB (Couchbase) requires being able to reference the other nodes by IP address or hostname. Since VMs change their IP everytime they restart I can't use that, and as far as I can tell
    hostname is the same for both VMs in a cloud service. But the Azure docs mention Azure provided name resolution (here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj156088.aspx). I can't find any information on how this service works, or how I find the permanent
    hostnames it assigns to my VMs within a cloud service. Is there anyway to find one VM from another within a cloud service that persists across restarts?

    Hi CanuckAlex;
    Thank you for your post.
    Virtual machines must be in a cloud service, which acts as a container and provides a unique public DNS name, a public IP address, and a set of endpoints to access the virtual machine over the Internet. The cloud service can optionally be in a virtual network.
    If a cloud service is not in a virtual network, the virtual machines in that cloud service can only communicate with other virtual machines through the use of the other virtual machines’ public DNS names, and that traffic would travel over the Internet.
    If a cloud service is in a virtual network, the virtual machines in that cloud service can communicate with all other virtual machines in the virtual network without sending any traffic over the Internet.
    If you place your virtual machines in the same standalone cloud service, you can take advantage of load balancing and availability sets. For details, see
    Load balancing virtual machines and
    Manage the availability of virtual machines. However, you cannot organize the virtual machines on subnets or connect a standalone cloud service to your on-premises network. Here is an example.
    If you place your virtual machines in a virtual network, you can decide how many cloud services you want to use to take advantage of load balancing and availability sets. Additionally, you can organize the virtual machines on subnets in the same way as your
    on-premises network and connect the virtual network to your on-premises network. Here is an example.
    Virtual networks are the recommended way to connect virtual machines in Azure. The best practice is to configure each tier of your application in a separate cloud service. This enables advanced user rights delegation through Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
    For more information, see
    Role Based Access Control in Azure Preview Portal. However, you may need to combine some virtual machines from different application tiers into the same cloud service to remain within the maximum of 200 cloud services per subscription.
    To connect virtual machines in a virtual network:
    Create the virtual network in the Azure Management Portal. For more information, see
    Virtual Network Configuration Tasks.
    Create the set of cloud services for your deployment in the Azure Management Portal to reflect your design for availability sets and load balancing with
    New > Compute > Cloud Service > Custom Create.
    When you create each new virtual machine, specify the correct cloud service and your virtual network. If the cloud service has been previously associated with your virtual network, its name will already be selected for you.
    Here is an example using the Azure Management Portal.
    To connect virtual machines in a standalone cloud service:
    Create the cloud service for your deployment in the Azure Management Portal with
    New > Compute > Cloud Service > Custom Create.
    When you create the virtual machine, specify the name of cloud service created in step 1. Alternately, you can create the cloud service for your deployment when you create your first virtual machine.
    Here is an example using the Azure Management Portal for the existing cloud service named EndpointTest.
    PS: One can assign static IP address to VM on Azure, You could refer to this
    link here.
    Hope this helps.
