How to get more control over DVR recordings

Looking for some advice on how to make sure the DVR records (and keeps) the episodes I want.
An example:
I want to record a series that is still producing new episodes, but is also in repeats in syndication. For example, Big Bang Theory. This has new episodes each week on CBS, but has about twenty or so repeats each day on TBS.
Due to the high number of repeats, any new episodes pretty quickly get overwritten by the repeats. So is there a way to record both first-run and repeat episodes, but prevent the first-runs from getting overwritten before I can watch them?

I have no idea if the format has recently been changed or what the issue is, but when I try to get more control over my DVR recordings, I can't. What I mean by that is that I cannot alter "First-Run and Repeats" to "First-Run Only," I cannot specify the specific channel to record on, I cannot say how many episodes I want it to keep, etc. Here is a step-by-step guide of what I do and what the problem is:
I press the "menu" button on the remote. I scroll down to DVR. I select the option of "manage series recordings." I select one of my shows. I'll use "Masters of Sex" as my example. I select "Masters of Sex." It's at this point where I get a problem. When I select "Masters of Sex," the only option I get is to cancel the series. No option to only record first-runs. No option to keep only 3 episodes instead of 5. No option to change it so it saves until I manually record it. Nothing. I've tried not selecting "Masters of Sex" and instead using the right arrow button to scrol over to the settings of the show. But nothing happens when I do that. It doesn't give me access to these options. This is incredibly frustrating because not only do the shows delete automatically at a certain point, but it records EVERY SINGLE AIRING OF EVERY SINGLE SHOW I RECORD. This means I have to go through several times a day to the "Scheduled Recordings" section and delete scheduled recordings of shows I have already seen. It's absolutely ridiculous, particularly for cable shows, which air episodes frequently throughout the week. Please help me if you can.
Put simply, I cannot change the settings on how I record each show.
Try the Box's Menu/customer support/tops support tools/Fix Fios TV option. (exact working may be different on your box)

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

Re: More control over html tags needed

I have trying for a while to find an elegant solution to printing reports in such a way as to have headers and footers repeated on every printed page.
 
The two main solutions seem to be either using PDF (using FOP) or controlling the size of the regions anually (by hardcoding heights etc.). I am confident that with more control over the html tags (or the ability to place my own) around certain areas the problem could be solved very simply with CSS.
 
What I would like is a way to change the way that Apex treats table headers.
 
Presently it places the headers within a tbody tag and the uses th for every column. Ideally I would like to see this changes from tbody to thead. Given that the chances of this happening in the near future are minimal (not something that I am upset about as it would not be logical to change such things every time someone wants things to suite them better), I would like to be able to place a tag either before or after the tbody tag.
 
Something like:
 
div id="tableheaders"
 
If anyone knows how to do this your help will be greatly appreciated. Given that, printing repeated headings can be controlled relatively simply.

Hello Andrew,
I believe the following might be of help - placing <thead> and </thead> around headers

I'm not sure it is possible to get the PL/SQL record type through JDBC. Please try to access this procedure through JDBC to see if it is possible.
You may need to convert the record type, to an object-type, i.e. wrap the procedure in another procedure that converts the record type. You could also just wrap the procedure in another that expands the record values into individual output parameters.

How to get more features for Captivate 6

Hi all,
I've installed Captivate 6 on my laptop at work, I use it for creating training material for our project management system. I was just looking at some Adobe video tutorial and there are some features shown in the videos that I can't find on my captivate (for example Drag and Drop interaction, some particular widget like "Hangman" etc...). I tried to download them, clicking on the "Download more interactions" but there are any available. So, is there a way to get those features, at least those shown in your video tutorial for Captivate 6?
Thank you very much
Elena

Hello,
thank you for your answer.
I have the version 6.0, so maybe I can't get those features because of the version that I have.
Even if I click on "Download more" on the Interactions window, there are no Interactions available, but is it a problem related to my version or it's because there aren't available new features?
Thank you very much,
Elena Bettarini

Hello and welcome,
I cannot remember for the Hangman interaction anymore, but Drag&Drop was only available for subscription users, for version 6.1.0.3190 Maybe it was not clear in the video you are pointing at, that not all features were available for box licenses. Which version do you have?

You can look at the material stored and see what you don't need and delete. But a better way is to get an external hard drive and move large quantities of material to the external storage. That will free up internal storage capacity.

How to get more than 256 bytes data

hello.
I use Schlumberger 32K Card�iJava Card 2.1�j.
Please tell me how to get more than 256 bytes data from the applet in the card!!
According to JCRE specification, need to use Get Response Command.
What is Get Response command?
Do I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet?
Or JCRE processes Get Response command?
If knows, please tell me about!!
Thanks.

Thanks for your response!!
I understand that I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet.
But case of Schlumberger 32K card, when host send Get Response command to an applet, card reply 6F-00!?
I'm investigating now, and it seems that response is returned before applet processes Get Response command(CLA = 00, INS = C0).
Do JCRE perform the process of Get Response command?

Newest compared to what?
There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
The answer varies.

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

How to get more than 2 squares in Genius Mixes?

I have iTunes 9 and when I do Genius Mixes I get only 2 boxes when it says you get 12. How can I do this? Do I need to get more music?

Hi shraddha,
The Jet OLE DB provider reads a registry key to determine how many rows are to be read to guess the type of the source column. The registry setting is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel\TypeGuessRows
Or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\microsoft\jet\4.0\engines\Excel\TypeGuessRows
By default, the value for this key is 8. Hence, the provider scans the first 8 rows of the source data to determine the data types for the columns. If any field looks like text and the length of data is more than 255 characters, the column is typed as a
memo field. So, if there is no data with a length greater than 255 characters in the first 8 rows of the source, Jet cannot accurately determine the nature of the data type. Therefore, values longer than 255 characters may be truncated or ignored.
To import data from a memo column, we must make sure that the memo column in at least one of the sampled rows contains a value longer than 255 characters. Or we can increase the number of rows sampled by the driver to include such a row by increasing the
value of TypeGuessRows. For more details, please refer to the following kb:

based on the phrase "Klantnaam" and "mt_Order" I could find the likely culprit interface. this is a plain and
simple SOAP-to-IDOC scenario.
these messages never show up in RWB, so they must fail before RWB even is involved.
I suspect that someone is sending us malformed soap (or http?) requests, and the soap message cannot be constructed from the message payload.
sometimes (but not nearly as often as the log messages appear) I see a message in RWB with this text as "message : SOAP document" :

seems like a HTTP header to me, but not quite sure...
my question : what can I do to get more information, especially about the content of the messages causing this behaviour ?
I tried enabling more logging for the components menstioned in the above entries, but to no avail.
traces in SMICM and SICF also were not helpful.
I hope to avoid to need to trace the actual network for the messages...
any help much appreciated !

Thanks for your reply.
I am glad you support my diagnosis.
however, since it is an unknown party calling the web service,
my main question is how I can get more information on that source message.
is there any trace which dumps that message content before it is being passed to and parsed by the soap adapter ??
I have no clue who is sending this request, so I cannot ask them to investigate.

How to create more control accounts by BP ?

Hello,
When dealing with some advances given to a BP (let say to an employee), there is the possibility to post it onto the account called down-payment receivables / payables.
But let say that my unit wished to handle more than one single advance like :
Advance in salary
Advance in car rental
Advance in house rental, etc....
If i keep as such, i can only follow one type of advance by employee.
Is there any way to handle more advances, that is to say managing more control accounts by business partners ?
Thank you
Stephane

Stephane,
The way I see Employee Advances being handled generally is by creating a Vendor Record for Each employee. So, every employee is a BP (Vendor).
Create an A/P Invoice (service type) and add a row for each type of Advance with the respective G/L Account. Continue and Process the Outgoing Payment. This way each type of Advance is seperately recorded.
If the Employee repays the advance, create a A/P credit memo and process an Incoming Payment (from Vendor).
The other option would be to create a A/P Credit Memo with the appropriate Advance G/L Accounts. Make an Outgoing Payment to Vendor without referencing the A/P Credit Memo.
When the Employee repays, Reconcile using link invoices to Payments (outgoing).
There are few other ways to handle this but it all depends on how you want to track these in your business.
