Failed recordings on a new box

I got a new box a fortnight ago and it's started to fail to record a variety of programmes. They're all on major channels such as Channel 5 and BBC1 (which I can watch with good signal any time) and sometimes they record, other times they don't, which suggests it's not a problem with signal. I'm never recording two programmes at once and my box still has 98% available.
Any ideas? It's really frustrating to have to hunt down my favourite programmes on demand when they fail to save the first time round

Unfotunately Youview boxes don't display a reason that a recording failed ... they either have no entry , a parial recording setting or a failed recording setting in the My View list of recorded programms. There are several scenarios whereby a recording could fail so unfortunately there could be many causes.
Which box do you have - the older larger DTR1000 or the newer smaller DTR2100 ?
First check that you have the latest software on your box.
Second how are your falied recordings showing in My view - are they listed as failed or simply not there ?
Are the failures all occuring when the box is in standby - if so is the box in High or Low ECo setting - if its in Hi ECo setting in standby do you get any improvement when switching to low ECO mode.

BT YouView failed recordings

Hi - I have the new style BT box (received Sept 2014) and after finally getting past the "short recordings" debacle, the box has a new problem - it has decided not to record some programs at all.
I set recordings via the guide, but after the recording should have started there is no Red light on the front of the box and no recording shows in the "recordings" library.
I have done a full reset (recordings retained, but everyhting else wiped) but it is still happening.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me ?
Many thanks

Hi Zulu17 - there seems to be no pattern at all. Most of the channels I watch are Freeview HD, some failed recordings are one off and some are series link. I recall failed recordings when the box is in standby and some whilst I am watching other channels.
I cannot be more precise than this - after months of failed recordings due to the previous software issues I am amazed that this PVR is faltering again. I am confident I am not doing anything wrong myself - I have used PVRs for years without issue (until now) and I cannot understand how, if I book a recording via the guide, the box doesn't actually make the recording !
Yet another software issue ?

Failed recordings on BBC3 HD and BBC4 HD

Hi
I don't watch too much of BBC 3 and BBC 4 but have spotted some good stuff recently. A couple of weeks ago I set to record a prog. from BBC 3HD which it duly went about (banner graphic at top of screen saying it was) when I came to watch the recording, it had recording failed in the menu with an exclamation mark in a triangle. I didn't think too much of it thinking I had done something wrong (low self esteem!!)
Then the other night I set to record "Life of Rock" (brilliant by the way) which again it told me it was doing so and I could see it in my recordings with the red "R"
I came to watch it back and again recording failed.
I have no problem watching these channels.
I get no clash warnings.
The box starts to record.
I can see it being recorded.
All my efforts to record something from these 2 HD channels report a failed recording.
Any clues anyone?
Thanks in advance

Not sure i have tried recording those channels on my Youview box so I can only give you experience of failures with a different PVR.
I have have a different Humax PVR that experienced some recording failures on the new BBC HD channels last month.
Trying hard to remember what I did to get around the problem.
I believe the trigger to the problem starting was probably when the channels were (re)tuned. If I did the retune before 7pm before BBC3/4 HD was broadcasting I believe that there were issues on recording them successfully from the EPG. They could be watched live though.The CBBC/CBeebies HD channels which share the transmission slots and were broadcasting at the time morning) I did the retune recorded OK from the EPG. If a (re)tune was done after 7pm when BBC3/4 HD was broadcasting I believe the situation was reversed whereby the BBC 3/4 Hd would successfully record off the EPG but the CBBC/CBeebies HD would fail.
Now the hard bit ... how did I overcome the problem .... well it either went away (transmission or EPG fix) or some of the things I did cured it.
What I would have done is having retuned I tried a direct record whilst watching a programme on say CBBC during the day and repeating the process with a BBC 4 HD later in the evening.
What I can say is that on my Humax PVR the failed recordings actually were made and recorded to disc but that one of the control files was empty or missing resulting in the PVR considering it a failed recording and won't play it.
Don't know if my experiences are related to your Youview problems

Failed recordings on BBC4

I have BT youview box model T2110 and I've noticed i'm getting intermittent "Recording failed" when i try to record some BBC4 programs. Anyone any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks
Tony

PS Incidentally I rangBT Support about another issue (gettingBT Sport on theYouView box) and they told me there was no way I could have bought aBT box fromCurrys but theYouView box has theBT logo on it and the packaging is allBT!
I thought the DTR-T2110 was only available through retail stores and BT issued the DTR-T2100.
See these pics
It is in theory possible to get BT Sport on a retail box, though not for free.
See BT Player on Youview
However, if you read the terms there is no advantage to doing it that way. It still costs the same as full BT TV and is more limited in options. You are better off signing up to BT TV and getting a new box issued to you.

Timer Padding Needed on New Box

Remember the bad old days of programmes starting too early or finishing too late and thus ruining our recordings? BT kindly put a 'fix' in so's there was some time padding fore and aft to handle this - and it was greatly appreciated. But I was recently the recipient of a new black box and we followed the instructions that came with it, watching all of the recordings we had stored on our old silver box before echanging new for old. And guess what? Our new box misses the beginning of some programmes and the ending of others when we set the timer. Oh dear!

Yeah expect recording hassles if Andy Murray is playing into the evening and BBC1 programmes get shifted onto BBC2, presumably because the Beeb thinks its audience are too dumb to work a remote control. Doesn't usually cause programmes to start early, though, just means you get half an hour of tennis if you were recording "The One Show" or "The One Show" if you're recording the tennis. Unfortunately even Freeview+ boxes can't cope with channel shifts, so this practice is just antisocial and I wish the BBC wouldn't do it. My annual flame about it solicited the following response:
"Thanks for contacting us.
We were sorry to read you were unhappy that the normal BBC One and BBC Two schedules were disrupted due to coverage of ‘Wimbledon 2011’ on 24 June.
We appreciate that late schedule changes are frustrating for our viewers, particularly for those who aren’t interested in tennis. However, as a public service broadcaster, the BBC aims to provide coverage of the most notable events in the sporting calendar, and there is undoubtedly a huge demand for Wimbledon coverage.
We wanted to attract the biggest possible audience to the match between Andy Murray and Ivan Ljubicic, and BBC One has a tradition of showing the biggest news and sporting moments, usually attracting more viewers for the same programme than if shown on BBC Two.
Despite the preparations that our scheduling team make in advance of transmission, occasionally circumstances beyond our control can cause a knock-on effect to our schedules. In this case, the Andy Murray vs. Ivan Ljubicic went on longer than anticipated.
We informed our viewers of the changes in schedule at the earliest opportunity through continuity announcements, and during coverage of Wimbledon. We also included information about the changes on the BBC FAQ website:
http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/television/schedulemurray24june
However, we apologise for any frustration caused.
We’d also like to assure you that we’ve registered your concerns on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's made available to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, programme makers, channel controllers and other senior managers.
The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.
Kind Regards
BBC Audience Services

I'm pretty sure there's a bin in the corner with a Dymo label on it which says "audience log". I don't know how they know they get a bigger audience if they leave a tennis match on BBC1 as I doubt they've done a control experiment. If Andy's on 2nd tomorrow, maybe they should put it on BBC2 for a direct comparison.

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

Steps to upgrade and move server and home folders to new box

Hi All,
Can anyone outline the steps I should take to move my 1200 users from a G4 PowerMac Server 10.4.11 to an Intel Mac 10.5.6 and move home folders to a new drive on the new box? Can it be as simple as using the migration tool and connecting up the firewire cable? And what about the fact that the IP will need to be the same?
Many thanks for any hints,
...Tom

Unfortunately, it is not as simple as using the Migration Assistant.
Please refer to the following guide from Apple:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Upgradingand_Migrating_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
You are migrating from 10.4 to 10.5, so read that section carefully. There are still quirks in the 2nd edition of this guide, where it tells you to do extra stuff, but it won't hurt.
If you have another IP address available, use that in combination with a temporary hostname until everything is setup. Afterwards, turn down the old server and use the changeip command on the new server.
Schedule your migration to a long window of opportunity when the least amount of people are going to need it - like Friday evening (then take Monday off).

Need news box for intranet

I'm trying to find some way to recreate the type of news box
used on www.msn.box where photos and related teaser text fade in.
I'd like it to pull txt and photos from external files instead of
hard coding. is that possible? How do I get started?

If you still need the box, I have one, would be happy to give it to you if you arrange for UPS or other carrier to pick it up. I'm in Los Angeles area.

Return it and get your money back. Virgin does not offer official unlocking, thus there's no way to get the phone officially unlocked for you to use it.
Sorry, but you wasted your money.

OAS 10.1.2 Backup and Restore to a new box

Using the OAS backup/recovery utility, can one restore it to a totally new box with new hostname, ip etc...
Basically instead of installing a brand new OAS/portal can we utilize the jar and restore it instead?

To clarify further. these are the steps i performed.
1. Used Backup/Recovery console and backed up infra as well portal
2. Used exp command to get a dump of portal and its schemas. ( as suggested in Ch:11)
This listed out only the 'PORTAL','PORTAL_APP','PORTAL_DEMO','PORTAL_PUBLIC' schemas.
Not sure about the ones under INFRA
Not sure as to how to proceed further.
Do i install a new OAS/Portal on the new host now and import these files in the new schema?
Thanks

Box NAMEHERE = new Box() - can't change NAMEHERE?!

Java3d will not let me use a string for this name? i want a series of box objects all with different names. as i have one class and i pass a name to it to create the differet named instances
but i get an error? anyone help please?
error:
C:\My Documents\My Dis\j3D\3D>javac *.java
createBox.java:35: objectName is already defined in createBox(ja
Box objectName = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, app);
^
code:
public class createBox
     private BranchGroup boxBG;
     public createBox(String objName)
          String objectName = "box";
          System.out.println("createBox: create(): Constructor...");
     boxBG = new BranchGroup();
     //colour of object
     ColoringAttributes ca = new ColoringAttributes();
     ca.setColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
     Appearance app = new Appearance();
     app.setColoringAttributes(ca);
          //move box into view
          Transform3D translate = new Transform3D();
     translate.set(new Vector3f(0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f)); //its coordinates
     TransformGroup boxTGT1 = new TransformGroup(translate); //create transform group
          //create a box
          System.out.println("createBox: createBox(): Creating Box called: "+objectName);
     Box objectName = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, app);
     objectName.setAppearance(app);
          //relationships of box
     boxTGT1.addChild(objectName); //'add' translation to the created box
     boxBG.addChild(boxTGT1); //adding the final branch group to the scene
          //optimizing the branch group
          System.out.println("createBox: createBox(): Compiling BranchGroup...");
          boxBG.compile();
          public BranchGroup getBG()
          return boxBG;
}

You have
String objectName = "box";
and
Box objectName = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, app);
Meaning you're trying to make a String called objectName, then a Box called objectName - not the value of objectName, but the name itself. Hence the error.
It's not that Java3D specifically won't let you use a string for a name, it's that the entire Java language won't, because it doesn't work that way.
You need to 'name' your boxes when you write the program, not at runtime - e.g.
Box myFirstBox = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, new Appearance());
Box mySecondBox = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, new Appearance());
Box myThirdBox = new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, new Appearance());Or, if you want, say, 100 boxes:
Box[] myLotsOfBoxes;
for(int n=0; n<100; n++)
    myLotsOfBoxes[n]= new Box(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, new Appearance());
    }You cannot name variables when the program is running for a whole lot of pretty fundamental reasons. If you need to change the 'name' when the program is running, you need to add a getName and setName method to your own extension of Box, that add a name property. This isn't the variable name itself, but it lets you assign names to your boxes as the program runs.
e.g.
import com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.*;
import javax.media.j3d.*;
public class namedBox extends Box
   private String name;
   public namedBox(float x, float y, float z, Appearance a, String boxName)
   super(x,y,z,a);
   setName(boxName);
   public void setName(String newName)
   name = newName;
   public String getName()
   return name;
}

Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0xC1900107

I'm trying to upgrade Windows 10 TP for Enterprise to the new build 8460, but I keep getting the error message
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0xC1900107
I don't find any reference to that error code. I've seen similar reports in the forum, but with different error codes and with the message "Failed to upgrade" rather than "Failed to install". I haven't played with the reg keys on this
system.
The event viewer shows the following event:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900107: fbl_release 9860 Enterprise.
The upgrade to a non-Enterprise device started at the same time went through without problems.
Alberto

Hi Russell,
What’s the situation now?
There would be a cause that the upgrade is running background, so a retry would fail in this situation.
You can check the action log in C:\$Windows.~BT\source\panther\setupact.log
Check the time line to see if it is running for upgrade.

Which operating system are you using?
When you say downloaded, where did download pse 7 from?
Do you have the original install disk or original download for pse 7?
I believe the serials won't interchange between the disk version of pse 7 and the electronic down load version.
