Lost HD Channels Fixed

Hi Everyone,
I was having a lot of problems with my HD channels and just thought I would post that they are now fixed, and have been trouble free for 4 days now. Maybe will help out some people?
First here were my problems:
1. Picture breaking up on many HD channels, eventually leading to "Chanel Unavailable" message.
2. Replaced HDMI with Component cables with no change. Now running on HDMI again with no problem.
3. Problem on all receivers in the house, 1 HD-DVR, 1 HD-Receiver.
We had Verizon service come out 2 times to fix this. The first time they cleaned up some wiring, removed some extensions etc. They also said our signal from the box to the recievers was too "hot" and that could corrupt the signal. The problem went away for about 6 hours and then came back.
The second time we got service the new guy said our signal was still too "hot" so this time he replaced our FIOS box outside the house, and dialed the signal down a little more. Since then we have had no channel breakup, and no channel unavailable messages. So it seems our problem was related to faulty FIOS box outside the house that feeds the recievers.
I am not saying that this is the same as the problems other people are having, but if you have symptoms similar to mine then you might ask your service techs about it.
Since we have had the issues resolved I have finally been able to enjoy the FIOS service, and I think that it really is the best TV service you can get. The quality is excellent and even though it's not TIVO the DVR is very good.

Anyone else lost some channels

I've lost a few channels, Nesn, channel 5, HDNET to name a few, so I called the number it gave me and entered all of the info, and it said there was a technical problem, wait for the next representative. Well, I'm still waiting and that was over an hour ago. Can someone tell me that no one will answer it until tomorrow morning, thus continually ticking me off.
Solved!

Shawn,
I have had problems with Verizon so many times i have lost count. When you call customer service you should dial "Cancel my service", the call gets routed to their last line of defense which they call "extreme team". These "team" have the most decision making abilities and will make sure that they fix the problem. Seems like you have to threaten to cancel to actually get prompt service, which i find very sad....I have done this when i have had issues with my internet and now with my channels. I will wait until tomorrow to see if the channels fix themselves....

Lost a channel on my 1212M

I bought this sound card about 8 months ago, it ran great for a while but for the last month I been getting this weird buzzing problem until I finally lost a channel yesterday while testing out a new tube amp I built (and it's not the amp).
about my setup, I run the outputs into a hifi-tube amp that isn't grounded - the grounding occurs through the patch cords ... the input of the amp is simply a 100k dual pot to ground, nothing mysterious ...
for the first 7 months everything was fine, great performance etc ... then about a month ago I started getting this weird problem where a differential hum signal started occuring in the playback amp ... with the volume on the amp set to zero I'd get a slight hum in one channel, then with volume turned up some more, hum woulr go away, turn up some more and hum would creep in the other chanel, up so more and no hum, up some more and hum in other channel again ... very strange stuff - wasn't doing that before ... it's not the amp - I checked ...
then this week, I suddenly wasn't getting any output on one channel - only could with jack partially pulled out ... I assumed I had a cold solder on that jack (checked cables and everything else) - took out the i/o board out - sure enough ground connection had a cold solder on it ... touched it up with some solder and then put it back in and got nothing out of that channel ... assumed jack was totally defective, so I took it out
checked out the jack - I don't understand how those jacks work aside from the ground shorting against one of the two hot leads when nothing is plugged in ... I traced the signals to what appears to be two transistors, possibly acting as pass devices (not sure) ... I don't get why there's two hot traces, I also don't get how those jacks are supposed to work - the tips don't short out when nothing is inserted ... (they can't be stereo outs now can they ???)
anyway, I took out both jacks and hardwired some cables to the ground and one of the tips (tried switching them to see) ... now I get a nice signal on the channel that was working before and a really loud signal mixed with a loud hum in the one that was defective - at least I get something now ... so it looks like there was a combination of a bad jack and somethig else ...
... is there anything beyond what I've done that I can try to remedy this ??
another thing, I'm the cavalier type who likes to plug and unplug as things are live ... can someone tell me if it's not a good idea with the output circuit arrangement of this unit to do this // esp. with an ungrounded amp (that's almost an obvious one there I guess) ... I noticed there might be some kind of return path that's going on at the output, maybe I screwed that up ... or maybe, static in the ground line from hooking up to a unit that's not grounded (while powered) could have screwed something up here ... like I said I never had a hint of a problem plugging things on the fly while powered up ...
I know the guarante on this thing is void now - but I'm a circuit designer and can't help to go in there and have a look myself ... I will likely buy another one of these as I'm used to it now and kinda like it ... but before I don I'd like to try salvaging it ...
any tips much appreciated ...
TIA!

Maybe I did not express myself right as English is not my language...but this is no reason to give me such an unkind answer. OF COURSE i will pay for the key!!! The authorized service provider of my country told me, that there is no way to order a single key, but that I have to turn the whole notebook in to get the key replaced. That will cost a lot more than necessary I dare say.

WRT54G2 v1-Wireless speed drops after a few hours/days, changing channel fixes it

Hi.
I have a WRT54G2 version 1 with the latest firmware from June 2009.
I have found that it performs very well (10-11mb wireless speeds) for a while (a few hours or sometimes a few days) but then the wireless performance drops below 1mb. Wired performance is not impacted.
It seems that I can immediately solve the issue by changing to another channel. The speed jumps right back up. However the same problem happens again eventually and again changing the channel fixes it (and even changing it back to the channel I had originally will fix it).
Any thoughts? I've never had a router do this and it's quite annoying.
Thanks

Nope this didn't fix it within minutes the same issue popped up. Note that this doesn't occur with another wireless router I own (I swapped it out just to test). I'd just not even bother with the WRT but my Vonage box doesn't work with my other router so I need to use this one. Any other ideas?

Lost HD Channel Signals Two Years in a Row

A few months ago my Sky Sports HD channels started showing no signal Error 25, along with the BBC HD channels. It was like this for the multiroom box and main box, so I guess it was a problem with the dish's alignment or something. Only option according to Sky was to have an engineer out for €60 or so. The thing is, this exact same thing had happened the year before, and I paid for an engineer to come out. I didn't feel it was fair to have to pay again so soon so I just dropped the HD. I still feel it was pretty lousy the way it was dealt with by Sky, for the following reason: If my area is suitable for a HD multiroom service, as it had been up to then, you would think that the engineer would have fixed the problem and I would not lose service before another year had gone by. So did the engineer do a satisfactory job, and if not, why should I have to pay again? On the other hand, if the engineer did a perfect job and something about where my dish is located or the area I live in means that the service is unreliable and engineer charges for misaligned dishes might be a regular occurrence, then surely I should not be encouraged to maintain the service. However, this is exactly what happened when I tried to ring to see if there was a way the service charge could be waived. The Sky representative wouldn't waive the charge but instead offered a discount on future bills if I tied into HD again for another number of months, which means that he was interested in keeping me on the service for longer. But how is this responsible if the area I live in is not suitable to receive Sky. When I say 'not suitable' I mean the necessity of an extra €60 yearly on top of the subscription charges just to receive a satisfactory service? In the end I dropped HD and in the months since Sky have lost more from me than the price of the engineer charge. On top of this, I don't really feel enthusiastic about paying for Sky Sports in SD so that is an extra 36 or whatever it is they may be losing from me as I don't think I will retake this package. All I'm left with is an entertainment package I don't need and in the end I am seriously considering Freesat. I feel that the way Sky were so stingy in handling this is baffling as in the end they will be losing what could be several hundred pounds from me due to their unwillingness to show a little leeway on the engineer charge. Does anyone else think I have right to feel slightly let down, or am I being entirely unreasonable?

"Neither Sky nor their engineer would know this until they're called out to your installation and there'll be no record of it on your account." That's true, but I thought paying for them to call out would solve it but the same thing happened, and nothing has changed, i.e. no trees or buildings changed, the satellite has a clear line of sightI agree that if you no longer consider Sky tv to be value for the subscription charges you're paying, you should cancel.I kind of did until I realised I might have a yearly engineer charge just to maintain the service. Would this (needing multiple call-outs) be a usual thing to happen and would people need to pay each time? I'm just curious.

I have lost the channel record selector on all channels and on all projects how do I get it back

I have lost the individual record select button on the channels, so I can not record anything. I have no idea what I did to lose this but how do I get it back

Hi
Check Preferences:Audio:Devices and make sure you have the correct Input Device selected?

Need help getting a channel fixed for a college game on saturday

I live in Arlington County, VA and have the Extreme HD plan with FiOS. My alma mater is playing a game this saturday that will be aired on FamilyNet (ch. 242). The channel line up says that in my location with my plan I have access to this channel, however when I try to watch it, it doesn't work. How can I get this fixed by Saturday? Thanks,

Just checked my guide and the channel works in Portland OR. I also have the Extreme HD plan. Sounds like it is a Fios support issue.

FCPX 10.1.1 Projects: Lost & Found (a fix)

This is a general answer and how-to for anyone who's upgraded to FCPX 10.1.1 and suddenly found they are missing projects. Or perhaps, like me, you saw absolutely NO projects in the timeline or anywhere else and just about lost your mind.
This assumes you upgraded to 10.1.1, that you chose to update your events and projects, that this appeared to work correctly, and that you then could not find some or all of your projects afterwards (#heartinthroat).
Look in the area where you see all the Events. Find one line that says Updated Projects. It will have a twisty triangle next to it. In my case, clicking on that did nothing whatsoever. Zero. But..... double-clicking that line did. Surprise! I got a progress bar.
Once the progress bar finished, the area to the right of the Events listing (where you would normally see the clips+stuff) showed a listing of Projects. Huzzah! <sound of general cheering>
Clicking on any project from that listing brought it up in the Timeline. (#heartattackaverted)
Please note, the twisty triangle next to the Updated Projects still doesn't do anything, even though there is now a nice orderly list of projects to the right of that line item. Completely non-intuitive. But at least I don't have to redo my projects, or give awkward explanations to people about why it's not working.
This answer was discovered after several frantic hours of reading through forums, posts, and a lot of Apple-directed hate-speech. I never did see a real answer... I just discovered this fix by double-clicking anything/everything in FCPX like a man possessed, until suddenly something worked. I hope this will help others to save that time and just go on with their work.

Hello, Supersaber,
Not exactly. What happened was that I ran the 10.1 update, but didn't actually run FCPX immediately because I was doing other things at the time. It wasn't until the release of 10.1.1 that I had a project to finish, and found myself in world of hurt. So I can't say if it was 10.1 or 10.1.1 that caused the grief.
BTW, that is **exactly** how it seems to work with me: I have something urgent to do, I run some update, and get sucked into the time-sucking black hole of Nefarious Update Bugs. This never happens when I have all the time in the world. You would think I'd learn by now: if you have some critical shytte to do, DO NOT run an update just before you start working on it! <:head palm:>
At least I had complete backups... and if I hadn't tumbled to the above fix, I would have definitely needed them.

Please Help | Major Problems | Lost Job/Need Fix

Hello guys, I have an Early 2011 Macbook Pro with many problems and I don't know where to begin. There are so many things that Ill just list a few to get started.
Here are my specs:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
NOTE: about a week ago I reinstalled the OS to fix a problem temporarily Ive been out of work for 3 months now because of these problems and am now out of money so I cannon afford to take it to a shop or the Apple store for fixing. If I cant get this fixed ill be unable to start my work again and that would be terrible.
SOME PROBLEMS TO START: I really need someone/something to look at my computer and determine ALL the problems with it both internal hardware and also within the OS itself.
*The core of all this is that i NEED windows 7 installed on my mac for work and bootcamp wont allow me to do it for some reason, I also don't want it installed virtually. I want windows installed cleanly. If i could install windows in place of the Mac os and then bootcamp Mac OS I would rather do that.
- Console has so many errors its crazy.
- Computer randomly restarts when I play games or am watching a movie
- I CANNOT install Windows 7 via bootcamp or any other method
- My Optical Drive failed so I have removed it so my only option is to install windows via a usb drive
- For some reason my External HDD that I save everything on now all of a sudden wont read.
- Disk Utility reads it and if i verify it and repair it it tells me everything is ok but then also reads that its updating drivers but nothing ever happens
I THINK IF I CAN GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED THEN THE OTHERS MIGHT GO AWAY
Please respond asap as every minute my laptop sits like this is another dollar that I am losing

Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test you MBP and define what is exactly wrong with it. The evaluation will be FREE!
Ciao.

Lost contacts: possible fix

Hi
I recently noticed that many of my contacts had disappeared, I have iPhone 5 with latest iOS, contacts syncing with iPad via iCloud etc.
Some contacts on one device but not on others. Tried various fixes from the forum, net result was that all contacts not on both devices disappeared.
I noticed I could find the contact records in spotlight, and if someone called the number was still recognised.
The fix then: from spotlight I opened one of the missing contact records and then added and removed it from my favourites. Immediately all my missing contacts were restored, even some I'd completely forgotten about :0)

Sync them back.
If they are on your computer, then choose them to sync.

Lost right channel audio

Hi ya,
Recently I had to reset my pram and upon restarting found that the right audio channel doesn't give any sound. It affects both my M-Audio Revolution 7.1 and the built in audio. I've tried reseting the pram again as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the M-audio drivers (even though as stated above the built in audio suffers the same problem) and it had no effect. Anyone have any ideas?
Power Mac G4 466 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It could be something as simple as the sound balance
in System Preferances is set for left side only.
Make sure you check that, if it's not that it could
be a problem with the logic board.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've gone and fiddled with the balance and every other setting that I could in the System Prefs. It seems weird that it would just start right after resetting the pram. Oh well. Here's to hoping it's not the logic board. Thanks again for your suggestion.

Opportunity Lost - HD Channells

Given that 4 HD channels are being provided as part of the BT Extras service -- I do fell that BT could have looked at adding HD versions of other PSB channels. Why no agreement to provide C5 in Hd or the ITV family of channels (234) or the C4 family (E4 , film4 etc). Other competitors platforms offer these so why not BT ?

zulu17 wrote:
So apart from the HD channels already available to many via Frreview will BT actually have any HD channels other than its own premium sports channels? Given that BT have been setting up content agreements for 10 months now the lack of HD channels is of concern. But then to be honest BT's Vision strategy and forward planning has been bafflling for years.
One would imagine that with the Infinity only requirement that BT would aim to offer pay-TV channels in high definition further down the line BUT the lack of any mention of HD in any of the press releases so far is of concern. We know that the overall aim is to sell Infinity subscriptions so this could well be the only reason for this, even though people have been thinking it's because of high bitrate HD streams. Every press release has just been for the SD versions. If they had managed to sign HD versions, why not mention that in the press release as 'coming soon', for example? I can't help but feel at the moment that the only HD offerings on BT Vision will be the PSB services and BT Sport.
Apart from channels such as ITV2 HD which are under exclusive agreement with one platform only, I guess they can negotiate HD versions separately further down the line so it's a case of 'wait and see'. At the moment, with so few people able to receive any extra channels from BT, if they're not offering HD channels by July-August, then it'd be time to worry but it's too early right now.

Did anyone else just lost a whole bunch of channels?

Hello all,
I was just curious but did anyone else just lose a bunch of channels. I live in the Columbia, Maryland area and as of today 1/6/2013 just noticed alot of channels went to subscription based.
I lost the following:
BBC America
Nickolodeon 2
Fox Movie Channel
The Smithsonian Channel
American Travel Channel
Nat Geo Wild
History Military Channel
I lost them without any warning and was curious if others had lost them as well. In the past we had lost the Funmation channel, ABC News, and CLOO. I was wondering if I had lost these channels because of a specific reason.

What package. In the past many people who had earlier versions of the Extreme package lost these channels to match the current version of the package. These may all be in the ultimate package, and some strangely are in prime and ultimate but not extreme.
