Connecting Humax FoxSat HD (Free Sat receiver) to ...

Hi! I have a Humax FoxSat HD which I have connected to my BT home Hub 2 via an ethernet cable. Initially, the receiver connected to the internet no problem and I was able to watch BBC iPlayer. However, after switching my system off and then on again later, I have lost the connection. I have checked the cable and the broad band connetion and they are fine. My DHCP is enabled. I have also tried to set up the required setting manually.
I am very confused why I could connect the Humax to the internet initially but not now. Can any one (who might have had similar experiences) advise me on what to check for and what solutions there might be.
Thanks in anticipation

BT Infinity & Free-Sat

I've just got BT Infinity setup and the engineer said that we could connect our router to the Free-Sat box but I wondered how we would work this feature.
Any help guys?

Could you tell me how I can access this feature on Free-Sat, I was playing around and got BBC iPlayer to show up but when I pressed ok (enter) on remote there was no response.
Sorry for the delayed response.
You will have to configure the ethernet network settings for your particular freesat box. It's all there on the Humax box settings menu, but it will take some searching the web (or the manual) to find the precise instructions.
I'm preoccupied with the BT Homehub at the moment and don't want to interfere with it until after the clocks change on Saturday.
I'll take a look after that but you may find help before then.

N86 three and free sat nav

I cannot get free sat nav on my n86
When questioning three , and after they flatly denied that nokia did free sat nav,I had to direct them to the nokia site and then tell them how to investigating finally went and asked the resident expert!
He said it was all nokias fault as nokia have not released the right software to them and they did not know when this would happen,strangely enough they are still selling the telephone.
All this adds up to if you have three you cannot get free sat nave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone from nokia reads this site in the famous word
go on go on go on

did you get this sorted out? Iv got the same problem as im on three network also but there is a way round this problem if you are still using V11.043 version (latest version three has approved back in 2009). if you can get E52 ovi map app v3.03, this works ok on my phone.
And why are three network suck cants when it comes to updating nokia software.... Saw a full 2 years on previous N73 with associated bugs that were never sorted out for three customers as they didn't approve any software updates on that either- including Nokia phone not connecting with Nokia bluetooth car kit due to no firmware updates from three, also phone freezing, white screen freezes, camera slower than a week in jail, list goes on, 3 different replacement handsets all the same. OTELO complaints got me some compo from three network due to faults caused directly by three not updating software.
Got a funny feeling this N86 is gonna be the same for software updates... NONE FOR ANY THREE CUSTOMERS, but updates for other network operators handsets.
Because im with the three network im not entitled to face recognition on my camera nor am i entitled to free ovi satnav for life nor im i entitled to any performance tweaks or improved functions....... All because I am with the three network..... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR I SUPPOSE!
Do you honestly think anyone at three is going to look over latest software release from nokia and adjust and modify it to suit a handset that they no longer sell? doubt it.
COME ON NOKIA, COME ON THREE!

Ethernet between Humax Foxsat box and Airport Express?

I have an Airport Extreme feeding 2 Expresses, both connected to hi-fi systems. All using DHCP and in Bridge Mode. Just bought a Humax Foxsat box, and would like to connect it to one of the Expresses via Ethernet. Can I? If so, how?

Check on the side of the AirPort Express in the fine print for the model number. IF....you have the newer "n" version, model A1264, you have the option to "enable Ethernet clients" on the Express to activate the Ethernet port.
If you have this version. open Macintosh HD > Application > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manua Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Enter a check mark next to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
Click Update to save your settings and give the Express 40-45 seconds to restart

When connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

when connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

I believe I may have solved this
When you can't log into public WiFi ...
with an iDevice…
because the Server times out ...
or the login/registration page just won't load ...
********Simply do this***********
Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
Now go back and reselect the network.
If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
Bingo!
I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
Peace y'all

I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan. When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening. Any Help?

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier. Is there any thing I can do to fix it? I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

Connecting to zon- fon free Internet

I have been with Bt since bt openworld and recently had trouble with their router, well actually when it broke it was my router.
Bt eventually supplied another one when I purchased another package. I don't really need another package as I don't use a lot of Internet time in the UK, and was going to quit.
Bt came up with a plan which included bt fon which as I read it enables the user to access the net pretty much worldwide if they open up their router for other foneiros to use.
As I spend the majority of my time in Portugal I thought what a wonderful Idea, I will be able to log into zon-fon free Internet, which is bt,s partner in Portugal.
Its actually impossible as I have only once succeeded on getting onto the landing page. The bt page says that I have opted in and the fon page says that I am an alien.
After some 2 months of looking for a fon-zon hot spot, at first bt said that I should change my location ( I can pick up with good signal strength 2 or 3 fon-zon free Internet spots. Yet cannot get to the landing page. Now either something is desperately wrong with fon or someone is telling fibs or of course my laptop is kaput but it does work more or less everywhere else and it does pick up zon-fon free Internet but I cannot get to the landing page to log in. Has anyone else had this problem in this area ( priai da rocha)
There is little point in staying in either bt or fon if it doesn't work. So far have been very little help even though they are taking the money, for a service they are failing to provide. I have sent in screen shots showing my connection status, Fon seem to want to help but so far haven't come up with any solution. And bt hasn't as yet done anything. I have a suspicion that the fon system was just invented to spy on us anyway, not that that bothers me at all, as the help centre seems to be in the USA, well they call it the help centre. Has anyone any ideas that I can try as I have spent a fortune on 3G wireless dongle time with vodaphone, when it should have been on free wifi.

from a diagnostic tool provided with a sitcom wireless dongle it suggests that I have excellent contact with the fon modem. If the modem wasnt registered to fon then it would not come up as a fon free internet connection. I agree that it seems that the fon modem that I connect to is not connected to the internet but have all five not been connected secondly fon are supposed to check that internet connections are available by testing them. failure to leave your modem available results in you losing your fon status. when I check my fon status with bt mine is ok. so all 5 fon connections breaking the agreement I dont think so. I continue to think that bt are not putting any effort into sorting out bt fon problems . Has any one else in Portugal had any problems with connecting to zon-fon-free-internet. Indeed it should not be a problem for bt to come up with some sort of answer, if anyone has managed to get through someone sensible at Bt I would very much like to know.
regards

Is it possible to connect a Bluetooth speaker to my receiver STRDN850?

I would like to use a wireless bluetooth headset or a bluetooth speaker to listen to CDs played on my receiver. I am able to pair my bluetooth phone to my receiver but can't see any way to connect bluetooth in the other direction. Any ideas?

Hi barfia,
You cannot connect a wireless speaker in this receiver because it doesn't have the capability to send bluetooth signals. It can only receive bluetooth signals however you can connect wired and model specific wireless headphones in this receiver. Model specific because these headphones comes with a transmitter(MDR-RF985RK). Transmitter that will send the signal to the headphones. Stand alone bluetooth headphones will not work. Use the PHONES jack in front of the receiver to connect your device.
Thanks,

When I connect my iphone directly to my receiver then connect to spotify, it plays through both speakers but when I connect wirelessly through airport express it only comes out through one speaker. Any thoughts?

When I connect my iphone directly to the receiver through a cable, it plays Spotify just fine but when I try to play wirelessly through Airport Express, it only plays through one speaker. Any thoughts?

yeah, that's what I figured.. I guess I'll try now to figure out exactly how to do that!

Free sat nav on Nokia E72 for life

I have the Nokia E72 which apparently comes with free sat nav for life. However, I cannot get this to work and the manual is not helpful in any shape or form......Any ideas as to how I activate this free device ??????

Hi GillRogers
OvI Maps application is built into your phone firmware although it won't be the latest v3.04 version from here:http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/free-downloads#/nokia-e72/
You do however need to install OVI Suite on your PC to enable you to download regional maps, although you need a microSD memory card and you must run OVI Maps application at least once with memory card in place; you also need to download chosen voice files for "voice navigation" to work.

Number of connection allowed in the free developer ediiton of Flash Media Server

Hi
I would like to know the number of connection allowed in the free developer ediiton of Flash Media Server
Regards
Sunny

Hi,
When we say we limit the number of connections to 10 in Flash Media Development Server, we mean that we allow 10 successful connections and reject 11th connection onwards. So at anypoint of time your server can have only 10 active connections. When there are 10 active connections and a 11th client tries to connect to the server, the connection is rejected with reason "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected - [ License.Limit.Exceeded ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Max connections allowed exceeds license limit. " and these details are logged at the server side core.log too

IPod Touch won't connect WiFi to local free network

iPod Touch 2G with 2.2 software won't connect WIFi to local free network.
This is a local free network. I'm not asked for any login info.
My Mac Mini connects wireless to the free WiFi network without issue (see specs in sig if needed).
Touch (just purchased) shows connected to same free WiFi, shows strong signal, but Safari iTunes, etc. say can not connected to Internet
Mini and Touch show different IP addresses, different Subnet Mask. Touch shows no router nor DNS, Mini does.
Touch set to DHCP (as it should). Renew Lease does not change above info.
BTW when set to DHCP there's obviously no way to change IP or Subnet.
I tried Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings - but had no impact on the issue.
About shows WiFi Address so that seems OK too.

That was my first stop before I posted here.
I did an odd "experiment" which fixed it. As I mentioned I was getting a strange IP address which was very different than my Mini also on the same service.
I set up my own router enabling wireless. The Touch used that without issue, I then disabled the wireless portion of my router. The Touch was then able to grab on to the public wireless service.
Odd that it took that to fix it. I had realized that the Mini has been wired to my router previously before using the public wireless service.
While it is working now, why would using my router on my service to grab an IP address have ANY impact on using the public wireless service? Maybe it registers an IP address with the device (Mini, Touch) that the public service sees and uses?

I am after a Video Converter which will convert the likes of a avi format to then play on a Humax FOXSAT-HDR PVR, any ideas anyone please?

I am after a Video Converterfrom the App Store which will convert the likes of a avi format to then play on a Humax FOXSAT-HDR PVR, any ideas anyone please?

Without knowing the exact details of the AVI files in question, or the formats and codecs supported by the Humax, I can only suggest Handbrake. Simple and powerful. Produces excellent results.
