How do i disable an STB box myself? i dont want it to work

for a while... can i program it somehow and have it disabled
its my son, he is addicted to TV. any way to program it to have it turned off by 10?
probably not, so i rather have it disabled..maybe in the settings?

Think you want a Power-Cop or BOB ...

I can't speak for the site itself, but the device is exactly what you want.   Plug the STB into the unit and lock it and then plug the unit into the wall.   You program the times the device receives power and when it doesn't.   There is one flaw in that the STB's and most TV's nowadays have removable power cords -- if your child can find a power cord from another device (STB), they could swap it out at the box end and make an end run.
Beyond that ... I find a little parental authority can be highly effective ... and when they don't listen, you simply remove the STB altogether from their room and they don't get TV at all.  Doesn't make for a popular parent ... but that's why it's called parenting.

    when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

    Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
    This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    If you forgot your screen-lock passcode then there is no way that I know to get stuff out of the iPod.  It is a security feature. Your only recourse is to restore the iPod which eraases the current content of the iPod.

  • How tdo you disable a check box

    Hi
    I'm been trying to dynamically disable (grey out) a check box using
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('checkbox name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
    This is not working and when I display the value of ENABLED using GET_ITEM_PROPERTY it shows TRUE.
    Can anyone tell me how to dynamically grey out a check box?

    Dear Friend,
    Whatever u have written is perfectly all right. Only thing can be checked is, do you have 2 items with same name if 2 different blocks. if so then provide name of block in Set_item_property statement. This technique works.

  • How do I disable hardware acceleration? (This option from preferences menu not works on Linux)

    I want to disable hardware accelaration because it freezes my pc at startup.
    I am convinced that HA causes this problem.
    My OS is Crunchbang (http://crunchbang.org/about/) .
    My pc is a pentium 4, nvidia 5200 gpu, nouveau drivers.
    I ask for help at MozillaZIne Forum (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2767265) and at Crunchbang forum.
    I disable HA in firefox (preferences and about:config) without result.
    In FireFox General Options "Use hardware accelaration when available" is disabled.
    In about: config gfx.content.azure.enabled is false and gfx.direct2d.disabled (user set) is true.
    Also xorg.conf doesn't help me.
    In xorg.conf (configuration file of Nouveau GPU driver) hardware accelaration is disabled.
    The only solution is to disable nouveau hardware accelaration editing the boot menu (kernel boot parameter : nouveau.noaccel=1) and firefox works.
    But HA is necessary for other applications like OpenOffice.
    If HA is disabled menus, buttons and other UI components do not show properly

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Hi Rob,
    From the screen shots it looks like your script is not formatted properly (you may refer to 'Paladin Script' in 'Sample Project' to get an idea of how the script should be formatted.).
    Further please follow the steps mentioned below to use Story to PP workflow.
    Create a new Film script in Adobe Story
    Create  scene heading – INT. LOCATION – Day (these will show up in the outline view panel on left hand side)
    Hit enter, hit TAB
    Enter the name of the speaker, hit TAB or ENTER
    Copy over the transcribed text
    Build your script this way
    Number scenes from the production menu
    Export ASTX file for your script : File->Export->.astx
    Open Premiere Pro
    Create a new project, bring in media
    In the project pane, find the "Scene" column
    For the clip that contains the spoken text, assign the same scene number to the clip as you have in the story script (lets say both are scene 1)
    Click out of the scene box in the project panel in Ppro
    Right click on the scene that you just assigned a scene number to and select – attach Story script
    Select the .astx fle you exported in step 8
    Click ok
    You should now see the script data in the metadata panel for the clip in the metadata panel.
    You can now run speech to text based on "Embedded Script metadata" to time align spoken word to the script.
    Let us know if this is helpful.
    Thanks
