I am confused...... DOes it or Does it Not Support...

See below a chat transcript I have just had with someone at BT Concerning BT Vision
[snip]
You are now connected with @@@@@@
@@@@@@: Hi, my name is @@@@@@.I'm here to assist you with your BT order.
@@@@@@: How may I assist you with your order today?
User: I was wondering if BT Vision supports Freeview HD?
@@@@@@: The V Box will give you freeview channels via your TV Aerial. These channels include all your family favourites such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4, E4, Film 4, Five, Sky 3 and many more.
User: ok.. but there is a new service called Freeview HD being rolled out. Will the Box support this? I have a HD Tv here and I cannot see the point in investing in a box which wont suppoort Freeview HD.
@@@@@@: Yes, it will when rolled out
User: Are you sure? because I have talked to people at BT previously and was told that it wont support Freeview HD over the aerial. I am only asking now as you seem to have a new box out
@@@@@@: For this I would recommend you call technical support on 0800 111 4567. This is a free line for you and they will be happy to assist you
[snip]
So my question is,... Can someone from BT give a definitive answer once and for all. Does the Current Black box Support FREEVIEW HD?? If not is it likely to in the Future via a Upgrade?
At the moment this is the only thing holding me back from getting BT Vision. I have just fixed my Aerial in preperation and eager to ditch sky. All I dont want to do is to pay out on one box and six months time be caught out by this FREEVIEW HD/ Project Canvas thing that is going on. At the moment if Sky ditched they HD Sub then Sky HD would become very tempting...

Hi TrickyDicky,
Thanks for posting.
Neither of the current silver or black Vision STBs will support Freeview HD. However both types do have an HDMI output which up-scales standard definition video to give an excellent picture on an HD screen. Additionally the HDMI output can be used to view true HD Video-on-demand from our BT Vision’s growing HD library which includes films and TV programmes.
Freeview HD support will be available from BT Vision in the future, but will require a new STB due to the different tuner electronics necessary to decode the Freeview HD signal. More information will be announced via http://www.btvision.bt.com/ when the details become available.
Cheers

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.

  • Why does cellular not support phone features?

    iPad Mini with Retina display has a celluar capability. Why does it not support full phones features, doubling as an iPad and phone like the iPhone 5S does?

    And I don't mean to seem rude. I have worked in product development many years with a very large company. I have also challenged engineers and developers to look beyond the basics to deliver something that sets the trend adn differentiates itself from the pack.
    Apple as that trend-setter created awesome products in the form of the iPad Air and the iPad Mini w/ RD. It is extraordinary in the leading technologies they incuded in the  package. It would have been BRILLIANT though, to have converged both as an IPad and a phone. It would have propelled the iPad light years ahead of the competition.

  • Why does Canon NOT support the Canon Utilities software?

    The Canon Map Utility software can not detect my Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2.  Over the phone, Canon "Customer Support" had me uninstall all 10 Canon Utilities that I had previously installed, and then let me install only 8 older versions of Canon Utilities.  And, the Canon Map Utility software STILL could not detect my Canon GP-E2. 
    Why doesn't Canon have ANYONE who knows the Canon Utility software?  The first support rep had NEVER used any of the software!  And the second support rep, whom I was transfered to by a Supervisor who told me that this was the most experienced support person for the software, has only used the software ONCE!
    Why does Canon NOT SUPPORT Canon software?????
    As an old friend used to always say,
    "Keep Looking Up!"
    Calen

    When I use the GPS-E2 on my camera, the pictures have are geotagged.  It's when I try to use the GPS log that Map Utility has a problem.  I like the idea of recording where I went, not just where each picture was taken.  That way, I can see where I found nothing to take pictures of.

  • Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?

    Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?  Are they planning on supporting Windows 8?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8.  For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet, 
    http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/wi-fi/124650.htm , and click on How do I know if my laptop or netbook is compatible with Verizon Wi-Fi? .  Verizon wireless home network does work well with Windows 8.
    Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,

    Youtube video can be played with the Youtube app included on your iPad.
    If the video is using Flash, then you can try an alternate browser like Skyfire.

  • Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle Fire

    Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle fire?

    You have it backwards.
    Tablets (Kindle, Galaxy, iPad) don't support Flash.
    Chronologically:
    2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
    2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®.
    2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support of Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10.

  • Why does Mail not support read receipts?

    I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
    I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
    If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

    Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
    You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
    Regards.

  • Why does Apple not support GiffGaff?

    GiffGaff allow you to tether and use your standard data allowance, but Apple don't even recognize GiffGaff as a network - so you can't enable any kind of tethering. The only workaround appears to be to jailbreak your phone. Why does Apple not support this network?

    Nobody here would know that.

  • Does PWA not support Notes field entry?

    Does PWA not support Notes field update?  We have tasks in PWA that we would like for people to be able to put notes in the notes field but in edit move, you cannot enter data into it.  I have search for "Pwa support of notes field"
    but no hits.  If it does not support it, do you know of a potential alternative solution?
    Cletus51

    PWA is an acronym for Project Web App, or Project Web Access if you go back to Project Server 2007/3/2.  So to be clear, Dale is correct in terms of editing the notes field in the Details view of each assignment, and Kihop is correct in
    terms that you cannot edit (though you can display) notes in a view in the Schedule PDP.  You can also view the Project Summary Notes field in the Project Center, but I haven't used this functionality since Project Server 2007.

  • Why does Apple not support the rSAP - Remote SIM Access Profile - for connection to car handsfree via Bluetooth

    Hello community,
    I just ordered a new car and it comes with a bluetooth based handsfree installation based on rSAP (remote SIM access profile). I learned that rSAP is the ideal thing to eliminate the unwanted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) inside the car. Now while googleing I also learned that iPhone on iOS does not support rSAP.
    I would like to point to the following page which shows some more detailed information on the rSAP topic:
    http://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/android-2-2-and-rsap-compatibility /
    I find rSAP a very usefuly thing, if it really brings the GSM radiation level down inside the car and allows the full use of all GSM functions by the rSAP premium handsfree kit built into the car. I absolutely do not understand why it is not already available with iOS.
    From several web sources I understand that rSAP is available for jailbroken iPhones. That means, the chips inside the iPhone would support a rSAP service. Therefore my question: will it become available with iOS 6?
    Or do all the folks at Apple drive old cars/brands and don't even think of the rSAP feature? Can we somehow start to get a hearing by the Apple developers? According to my knowledge, rSAP is implemented with all premium handsfree factory units of the VW brands - Audi, VW, Skoda ... This should make a relevant user base!
    Any others with same wish and/or experiences? Comment here please!
    Regards,
    Olaf

    Hi Meg,
    could be several things:
    1. they forgot?
    2. none of their team members drives any VW branded car?
    3. nobody cares about the radiation inside the car?
    4. all have plugin holders for the iPhone?
    I am just surprised that rSAP is offered by a premium car maker, but Apple seems ignorant about its support.
    I am mostly concerned about the radiation when I use regular hands free. But I do understand that rSAP also has some limitations (only access to SIM contacts and other things, Wikipedia DE has a good full report, Wikipedia EN is much shorter).
    Regards,
    Olaf

  • Does Safari not support scrolling in frames within a webpage?

    I haven't been able to scroll frames in webpages on my iphone. Am I doing something wrong is does Safari just not support that?
    If they don't support that, that *****.

    I just stumbled across this, but I think it works if you scroll with two fingers, just like a MacBook touchpad (assuming you've used one). just put two fingers over the frame and slide them up/down. That was able to scroll a frame for me.

  • TS1702 Why does iPad not support adobe flash player

    Why does the Ipad not support Adobe Flash Player ?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why does Firefox not support Trusteer Rapport to download?

    Trusteer website states that Firefox does not support Rapport.

    It's not up the Firefox to support Trusteer Rapport, they need to support Firefox - and they do! But you're using a Beta, pre-release version that they choose not to support.
    Install the Firefox 34 Release version and it should work fine.
