How to watch FiOS TV on a computer?

I will be getting FiOS Internet and TV installed next week. I would like to watch TV on the computer. I have an old analog TV tuner card in the PC. Do I have to get a set-top box for the computer, or is there a way to access FiOS TV over the Internet?
My computer is running Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Yes you will require an STB. There are no analog signals on the FIOS TV feed, they are all digital (QAM-256). Even with a QAM capable tuner you will only get the local SD and HD channels (as these are the only ones in "clear QAM") unless you have a newer PC with a cablecard capable tuner.
The cheapest option is the DCT-700 (also called Digital Adapter) for $3.99 / month. Has no guide, VOD, or widgets and receives only the SD channels you are subscribed to (no HD cpability). It has both composite video with L/R audio and RF outputs, but the RF output is mono audio only.

Can I watch fios tv on my computer?

Im sorry if this has already been covered, but I have looked and did not find an answer.
Is there any way to watch fios tv on my computer and if so, how would I accomplish this?
I have tv/internet and phone.
thanks so much if you can help!

when you say tv card, do you mean tuner card? I have an older computer that does not have a tuner.
I was hoping that with the router already connected to my computer, I would be able to watch without adding anymore
stb's or other added components.
At least I can go to the network websites and things like hulu and watch on demand (for now anyway)

HT1390 i rented a movie on my ipad but I am unable to download it on my ipad not enough space. So now I would like to watch the movie on my laptop .. but i don't know how to get the movie on my computer.. help?

I rented a movie last night on my ipad but I am unable to download it on my ipad I have no space.. so I want to watch it on my laptop computer but do not know how to get the rented movie on it. I checked the itune store and they said I have it rented.. So I need help on what to do to download it on my computer so I can watch it any suggestions? Thanks.

Because rented movies from the iTunes Store are normally a one-time download per rental, and if that download was to an iOS device, they can't be transferred to any other device.
Does that hold in the other sense as well? A rental on the computer is non-transferrable to the iGadget?

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

How many itunes accounts are allowed per computer?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle configuring all 80 of the iPads my business is purchasing. I know there is a limit of 10 devices per iTunes account. How many iTunes accounts are permitted per computer? I tried to just create 8 apple ids, which I was able to do online. But when I try to sign in to those on iTunes, once I get to the part where I verify with a credit card, I can not get past the 3rd one. I have previously signed in with 2 other accounts on my machine, so I'm wondering if there is a limit of 5 accounts per computer. Can anyone verify? If that's true, what suggestions do you have for how to get around or best manage this situation?
I'm not as much of a techie as I should be.. but thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi allisonwfrom nc,
The limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app.
There is a free OS X program called Apple Configurator that you can use to distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
There are a few things I recommend you do to get started:
First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
Apple Configurator Help Guide
http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
Hope this answers your question!

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

How to watch my presentation full screen on PC ?

I have done a presentation in Kenote '05 and I want to watch on PC computer.
The problem is that my school's computers doesn't have QT Pro so I won't be able to watch it on full screen. I have tried to export it as a PowerPoint presentation but all transitions are lost and slides doesn't look well...
Do you know other solutions, how to watch (full screen with, all transitions and interactive buttons) presentation on PC, made in Kenote ?!
Regards,
Wiktor K.

Keynote 3 (06) finally allows you to tag a movie to play full screen, but there are other scripts out there that will allow you to change a movie's settings. I haven't tested any in a long while, but I know Tom Negrino used to have one on his web site (which I can't find now).

"Press Menu to Watch Fios TV" logo-turned off but came back!

I hated that logo that would appear when I would turn my TV on that says "Press menu to watch Fios TV. Otherwise turn your TV off." I looked through all the settings and options and finally found out how to get rid of it. I don't remember where I found it but it had options for that logo to come on after certain time intervals or to never come on. So I changed it to never and it stopped coming on for awhile.
Unfortunately, now it's back! I found that option again, assuming it had somehow been changed but it was still set to never come on. So why is it coming on again? I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that I tape some things on VHS. Ok, you can stop laughing now about the fact that I use VHS. I have my reasons though it's not worth taking the time to explain. Anyway, the problem is that if that logo is on while the VHS is taping, all it tapes is the logo, not the show I had programmed to tape.
Does anyone have any idea why this logo came back, even though the setting is still set to not have it appear and what I can do to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Depends on what model box you have.
But generally, look for screen saver.
Also, no real advantage to turn the box off.
Doesn't save any energy.

What are cpl files and how can I view them in my computer?

I transfered files directly from my sony camera to my external hard drive and all my videos are in .cpl, how can I view these in my computer?

you ceated an archive - that doesn't mean, you imported them in iM, which is not only for editing, but for achiving too. nor into the iLife suite of apps, esp. iTunes, which is the 'media centre' on MacOS.
choose Import from Archive. in a preview window you see each 'take'. choose All or select which to import. on import, iM will create so-called Events=groups of clips defined by day of recording.
After import, iM allows to preview each clip or Event, edit them in Projects, share them to iTunes for playback on your Mac, iPad, iPod, AppleTV, YouTube, VImeo .........

How to watch/save recorded videos on a PC?

Using a PC, what program do i use to watch the videos on my computer? Windows Media and Quicktime don't seem to be working.
Or if i'm approaching this totally wrong, how else do i copy the videos onto my computer other than going through "F:\DCIM\000APPLE"?

On a PC you do as you have said, you copy the files from the DCIM folder.

How do i have more than one computer to apple tv

how do i have more than one computer to apple tv

My answer is based on guessing what your question is since it seems a little incomplete.
When enabling home sharing with an Apple ID on your Apple TV, this can be done with one Apple ID only. Now when enabling home sharing on your iTunes device you need to use the same Apple ID. You can do this with several devices, however the Apple TV will always only find the first device that comes online since it cannot differentiate between different home sharing devices with the same Apple ID.
When using AirPlay you just need to be on the same network with your device. For example I can go to my best friend and watch my movie there on his Apple TV and vice-versa unrelated from the fact that we use different Apple IDs of course.
I hope this answers your question.

I purchased a movie on my iPhone, how do I download it to my computer?

I purchased a movie, and I want to download it to my computer, but when I go to transfer purchases on iTunes it doesn't have a section for movies. How do I download it to my computer without having to plug my phone in to watch it everytime?

Go back to the iTunes Store. Tap More at the bottom right. Tap Tones on the next page. Find the ringtone you want and buy it.
