DCT 700 and QIP6416-2 issue

I have the 2 boxes above in the same room. I split the cable coming out of the wall and ran a cable to each stb.
The DCT 700 is used to on my Series 2 Tivo box so that it can record shows that I can not record with my QIP6416-2 box because of scheduling conflicts.
I inclosed the DCT 700 front panel so that only the Tivo LED emitter could change the channel on the DCT 700.
My problem is that if I press the LIST button which brings up the record shows listing on my QIP6416-2 box a big message pops up on the screen of the DCT 700 telling me the 'DVR not aviable'. The message will remain on the DCT 700 screen for about 10 seconds. This also gets recorded by the Tivo
How can I stop the DCT 700 from displaying this message that cover most of the screen and screws with the tivo recording. It is very agrevating when I am try to watch a recorded show off the Tivo system.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to more effectively block the front of the DCT700. I don't have the TIVO setup you have, but I do have a DCT700 and a 6416 in the same TV stand. I can simulate your problem by moving the plastic I use to block the DCT700 over just a little. The signal from the remote can bounce around a bit and can find the receiver on the 700 if it isn't properly covered.
Try the cover. If it doesn't work, post back.

Difference between DCT-700 and Standard definition box

What is the pricing difference, the quality difference, and the difference in what you get between the DCT-700 and the Standard Definition box.

a few dollars, same picture quality, DCT700 does not get a full on screen guide, no VOD, no widgtes, no HD, no LED display for the time and such
basically you gett all of your SD channels and a smaller cheaper box

Running coax for the free DCT-700

Right next to the ONT, Verizon installed a 1 in 3 out splitter. One of the outs goes to the router and the other two go to the TV's in my house.
I am going to be calling and getting the free DCT-700 and was wondering if I need to replace that 1 in/3 out with a 1 in/4 out and run the new coax the entire length or can I split it upstairs and just run it to my third TV from there?
If I do need to get a new 1 in/4 out splitter, is there any special/preferred kind I should be looking for?
Thanks

It depends. The three-way splitter is not really a three-way splitter. It's a 2-way splitter with one of the two streams immediately (internally) split again for three outputs. If you look closely at the 3-way splitter, you will see that ONE output has 3.5db attenuation, while the other two have 7.0 db attenuation. If the line you contemplate splitting is the one that has only been attenuated by 3 db, then you can install a 2-way splitter anywhere in that path. If on the other hand you put another splitter on one of the lines that are already reduced by 7.0 db, you're really suffering a lot of signal loss (10.5 db which is about 90%). You can replace the 3-way with a 4-way, but then you have to probably run a much greater length of coax than if you use a 2-way splitter somewhere downstream.
My recommendation: Ensure that the line you contemplate splitting is the one connected to the 3.5 db attenuated output of the3-way (you can switch those 3 around as necessary to get it set up that way) and then use another 2-way closer to where your 2 TVs/STB's are.
A caution: any splitter or pass through connector you use MUST be capable of passing up to 1GHz. Lots of older splitters are only rated up to 600 or 900 MHz.

DCT 700 box and the "Guide" channel

I've read all the posts regarding the DCT 700 box, which I have in my room and have found the answer to my question of why I dont get the guide channell.
The next question I have is a rather dumb one, but here goes: Can I just manually enter a channel to go to the guide channel to see whats on tv or is it impossibe to find out whats on tv with the DCT 700 box?
Thanks for your help. Not quite sure of how this forum works and how I will get the replies to this post,{edited for privacy}
Once again, Thanks

You will get the replies to this post underneath your post; it is called a "thread."
I think you are confusing a few things here.
The DCT-700, the "digital converter," does not have an electronic program guide. That is the Verizon-provided program guide which is built into the software on your set-top box. All of the set-top boxes besides the digital converter have it. It is not a "guide channel," but rather a graphic generated and displayed by your set-top box.
You referred to a "guide channel." I assume you mean the TV Guide Channel, which all cable providers have had for decades. Last year, the TV Guide Channel was bought by a different company, and in May 2010, it stopped providing any program guide at all, across all cable providers. It only airs regular programming like any other TV channel now. I am guessing they made this decision because a lot of people now have set-top boxes which give them a program guide anyway. Similarly, I don't think they have a print program guide like they used to (it was popular in the 90s and 80s), nor do most newspapers print any substantial program guide anymore.
So if you are looking for a "guide channel," you are not going to find one. So in that sense, yes, it is impossible to find out what's on TV with a digital converter (DCT-700).

DCT-700 error 8701-1842

We have five TV's, two digital and three CRTs. No issues with the digital TVs. One CRT connected to a QIP2500 is working properly. Yesterday both CRTs stopped receiving channels from the DCT-700 STBs. TVs are on channel 4, STBs turn on, TV shows error message 8701-1842, channel not available, for all channels.
I'm in a cast and cannot run upstairs to keep checking these two TV's, parents are elderly and impatient. I've reset the router and had them reset the STBs (unplug for a minute). Wiring hasn't changed, so that isn't it either.
Any suggestions?

Sorry for the troubles with your serive. Are you still having troubles with this?? Please reply back if so that way we can help out.

DCT-700 music channels...

The music channels are coming us having temporary technical difficulties on my DCT-700 stb. It has been like this for a long time now. When are these "temporary" issues going to be resolved or are they not going to be?

Christian, you are giving out wrong information. Business customers need to subscribe separately. All the music channels are in the basic Prime package for all residential customers.

Channels available on new STB's Motorola DCT-700

Verizon supplied at no charge 3 STB's (Motorola DCT-700) for my other room tv's. Two of the boxes are providing more of the channels I receive on my main DVR box including the movie package channels but one of the new boxes seems to only receiving the real basic channels I previouosly received when the cables were plugged directly into the other TV's. ANY IDEAS, I would hate to lose all the channels the other two are receiving but whats up with this one STB.

You should get all of the channels you subscribe to on the DCT-700 except of course for the HD channels, so you come out way ahead using the free box.
I suspect that, if you pull the electrical plug on the box that is not working properly, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in, you will get all of your channels. If you don't, then I think about the only thing you can do is call the FiOS FSC.

Gmail/Exchange email and calendar syncing issues

I have wiped my email accounts several times and entered in my data in the various ways as shown through the forums but my email accounts do no sync properly whether it is manual or active synced.
I read my emails in my gmail and my Microsoft exchange account and will delete or file them away but then when I check my accounts on my desktop, they are not synced as I've done so on my phone. I've also noticed that my calendars are not synced correctly either.
Could someone help me understand why and how these issues can be fixed? I'm in meetings for most of the day so I rely on my phone to keep me mobile. Was this a bad purchase?!?!

Hi JadeyMU,
How do you have your Microsoft Exchange account configured on your BlackBerry Z10? Are you using ActiveSync, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), IMAP or POP?

My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues

I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue. All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues. I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues. Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad. Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase). After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it. I waited for a Technician. They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product). It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had. So, they have swapped it for a new box. Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store. I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
1. The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
2. Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth. I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
3. They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals. On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time. Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software. It worked fine and have tested all of the options. From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
Will wait to see....if it continues to work....

I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

Interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.

hi all,
interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.
i created a sales order with 10 qty.and the system proposed a two schedule lines.
let's say to order created date is 27.11.2008.and the requested delivery date is 27.11.2008.
but the stock is not available today then the system proposed two more schedule lines apart from the 27.11.2008.so now there are three schedule lines like below.
schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date
27.10.2008 with zero quantity.
28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                28.10.2008                     29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                02.10.2008                     03.10.2008
now the delivery and pgi already for the schedule line 28.10.2008.
then when i run the availability check on 01.11.2008 system is over writing the material vailability date as today at the scheduleline number two.
now i can able to view only two schedule lines only.
schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date
28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     02.11.2008
now my concern when we reschedule the avalability check it should notchange the Material availability date of the schedule line which i already delivered.

What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue

I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report. How can I determine the last page? I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number. Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property. But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer. The report includes this page in the total number of pages. For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2. Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer. No page header or page footer prints.
Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated. To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.

To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
- in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
- try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
- try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
Best regards
