M-Cards in Buffalo

I'm sure its been asked a thousand times but I want to verify that M-Cards are available in Buffalo.  I bought a Z-Series Sony today and was going to buy the Tivo HD with it and get $100 off the Tivo but the guy was trying to tell me that Tivo may not work with FIOS. I know this is not the case but wanted to be sure I can call and order or go to the local FIOS store and order an M-card.  Any moderators or Buffalo(Tonawanda) customers please let me know about the cards. Thanks.  Also does anyone know what the lag time is when I order HD Extreme programming, is it instantly sent to my set top or is there a delay of any sort?  Dishnetwork's pograming changes are instant I was wondering if its the same here. Thanks, Shawn

M-CARDs are available in all FiOS service areas.  That's what you get when you order a CableCard from Verizon.  A free installation is required.
From the AVS TivoHD FAQ:
Does the TivoHD work with Verizon FiOS?
Yes.  The TivoHD replaces the FiOS STB and DVR, so you no longer need to pay those fees to Verizon.  It supports all the same SD and HD channels as the FiOS DVR, including all subscription sports packages.   TiVo supplies its own guide data for all FiOS channels with more accurate and complete program information than Verizon provides for its own boxes.
The TivoHD does not support Verizon's own Video On Demand (VOD), nor does it support Verizon's on-screen widgets for weather and traffic.  If you don't want to lose Verizon's VOD, you can rent their Motorola STB and connect that to a separate input on your television.  Note the TiVo does not support multi-room viewing with Verizon's Motorola boxes; it only supports multi-room viewing with other TiVos.
The TivoHD requires one CableCard (M-CARD) from Verizon to support both tuners.  This card plugs into the front of the box to authorize all of the channels you pay for.  Verizon charges $3.99/mo for this CableCard, and requires a "truck roll" to install it.  Verizon will not ship CableCards or allow local pickup under any circumstances; to the representative, it may look like they can ship you the cards, but if they submit the order that way, you will receive an automated phone message within 2-3 days with the date and time of the scheduled installation.
There is no charge for FiOS CableCard installation, so long as the only action performed is a CableCard install.  Anything said to the contrary is outdated information.  If you want to return or remove existing equipment, do not mention that when you order the CableCard. Verizon charges $79 for truck roll orders where the caller references equipment removal.  Officially, free equipment return is only available by request of a prepaid mailing label or through a visit to the local office.
Note Verizon's order system and CSRs scripts only list "CableCards."   Verizon sales does not have any information S-CARDs or M-CARDs.   As of 2Q 2009, Verizon FiOS uses M-CARDs for all new installs in all markets, without exception. No matter what the sales rep says, that is what you get when you order a CableCard from Verizon. Anything said to the contrary is outdated information.

  • Buffalo wifi card not useable

    I purchased a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A card for use with my 15" Apple PowerBook G4, 1.67 GHz with built in Airport Extreme for better range and the ability to use an external antenna. The pcmcia card states it's supported natively with AirPort 3.1 drivers and up. It uses the Broadcom chipset.
    The problem comes when I plug it in. If I plugged it in before startup it will kernal panic and crash at the gray startup screen. If I plug it in after the system is up the two green LEDs glow faintly but the AirPort menu lists the networks visible on the built in airport. I can't figure out how to "switch" off the built in and instead use this new one.
    How is a third-party wifi card used on a powerbook w/ built in wifi already?

    I have NEVER been able to use a PC Card wireless adapter successfully in my PowerBook G4 1.25GHz not to mention I get exactly the same behaviour as you, kernel panics and all.
    What seems to be the problem is that Mac OS X sees the Broadcom based card as another Airport card. Coupled with the fact that it won't let you use two Airport card concurrently it will sit there and do nothing.
    The only solution that I have found to this is to remove the internal Airport card. Fortunately or me I have access to the card but I believe this is not possible with the 1.67GHz model.
    Alternatively you can try using a card that does NOT use the Broadcom chipset so that it is not recognised as an Airport card. Obviously you would then need drivers to make the card work.

  • Access Connections 4.52 on A20m with Buffalo Wireless g card

    I have an A20m on which I use a Buffalo Wireless 'g' PC card, and have updated to AC 4.52.  AC does not see any wireless networks - text 'greyed-out' in menu.
    Is it at all possible to use AC with this config, or do I have to forget AC if I need to use a PC card which doesn't have a specific Lenovo driver?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Seems AC isn't communicating very well with some (probably) changed dll's that SP3 replaced. SP3 is known to break a lot of programs, drivers (combination of both). In some cases, there's not much to do but either
    a- stop using the program until an update is available from the source (Lenovo)
    b- revert back to SP2 to regain functionality.

  • WLAN  |  wireless PCI card  |  Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54S

    I need a WLAN solution for my old and beloved smurf...
    I have read about the Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54S and a compatible Broadcom chipset...
    This card is still available... but does it still have the broadcom chip these days? And is it really working-out-of-the-box?
    Anyone with experiences?
    TIA!

    Belkin Wireless G Gaming Adapter
    May be this is an alternative, cause there is no driver issue, or am i wrong?
    Any wireless Ethernet bridge device should work well. Examples include Belkin F5D7330 (please note that there are two variants, one with one and one with two antennas), D-Link DWL-G810 or DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G and Netgear WGE111. Also, Linksys has introduced an N model (WGA600N), which appears to be something similar. Normally, wireless Ethernet bridge devices do not require special drivers at all, and can thus be used under almost any operating system.
    The various models (or versions of a model) may or may not support WPA security. A firmware update (which, typically, has to be carried out on a PC) may be sufficient. So, check the specifications (and the firmware download sites).

  • Pb with X200, NEC based USB 3.0 PCI card and external USB 3.0 HD

    Hello, I ordered a USB 3.0 Express Card based on the NEC chipset. I am using a Lenovo X200 under XP SP3 and I have an external Buffalo Ministation USB3.0 HD. No problem to install the Express Card driver, the card is recognized but the HD won't mount. I have the USB connection beep and in the next 10 sec the USD disconnection beep. This is not a low power issue, I connected to the Express Card a power supply and have the same issue. In addition, this config, Express Card and Ministation Buffalo just work fine on a T60 under Windows 7. Any idea? Many thanks ! Tom

    I would like to add IO to my Mac Pro Details of it are below
    I have looked at several options and would be happy to go with either eSata or USB 3.0.  I have heard some bad reviews about the USB 3.0 PCI offerings out there though.
    On the one hand, I have an unused eSata enclosure so I would not have to buy one,  on the other hand a few USB 3.0 ports on the machine would allow grerater expandability with a USB 3.0 hub hung off the back.  ( can you get eSata hubs?  never thought of that until just now)
    The nearest thing to an eSATA hub is a 'SATA port-multiplier'. This allows connecting up to 4 SATA drives to a single SATA port.
    Note: Not all SATA or eSATA cards support 'port-multiplier' functionality. The CalDigit card says it does support port-multiplier enclosures, what this means is that a single eSATA cable can be connected to an external box containing multiple SATA drives and see and use them all.

  • Question about Formatting Buffalo USB 1TB external drive for use with Mac Book Pro Mountain Lion HD

    Hi there, Have Mountain Lion HD operating system (not sure if it is 10.8 or 10.8.1. or 10.8.2)  and have a Buffalo USB 3.0 1TB hard drive. When go to utilities to try and format with Mac OS extended, following 3 files show. DriveNavi. exe, Slm.exe and Mac. The option to left click and erase menu is not there. Or at least not as shown in all the help videos.
    It is USB connection so will take ages but want to use drive to store video footage and also partition to back up Time Machine. ( travelling in South America and no other Ext Drive option available too buy) how much space should i assign to Time Machine when partitioning?  Is there anything else i need to think about? as new to formatting. Any thing else i can do to make process of transfering footage to Buffalo quicker?
    Final question is if it is finally reformatted am i going to have to spend so long accessing footage from hard drive when back home and editing that it really is not worth if, and i should just write this off as an inappropriate purchase, and try and buy more memory cards and not bother with transfering/storing? Thanks in advance for time spent trying to assist.

    Use Apple's Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder to format the drive.
    The programs on the drive given to you by the manufacturer is likely backup software (or malware) and essentially worthless, it will be wiped when you format the drive.
    I do NOT advise you partition that drive for TimeMachine, rather I advise you not to use TimeMachine at all for your purposes because TM is just a backup, not a bootable drive.
    Rather do this.
    Get another hard drive that is equal to or slightly larger than your boot drive.
    Format the drive in Disk Utiltiy > 1 Partition, option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended journaled, click Erase and move the slider one spot to the right and click Erase. This will take some time as it's going to map off any failing sectors it can BEFORE you lay data on the drive corrupting it.
    Next, pay for and download Carbon Copy Cloner, use the default settings and simply clone internal drive to the external drive. this will also take some time the first time.
    Next use Disk Utility to Repair Permisisons on both drive. Now reboot the machine and hold the option key down, you can select the external drive clone to boot from!!
    You can update the clone the same way by using CCC, but it doesn't take as long, only copying changes.
    This is better than TimeMachine as a bootable clone is bootable in case your internal drive fails to boot the machine.
    Use the first drive for storage and be very gentle with it while it running, like you should do for all hard drives as they are subjective to shock damage.
    The objective with the clone drive is you keep it safe, and not carting it around where it can be more subjective to damage like the other drive will be.
    Remmeber you need 2 forms of hardware backup at all times.

  • Anyone help setup TC with Buffalo Linkstation NAS

    I have a TIme Capsule working great with my iMac. I also have a Buffalo Linkstation Live 1Tb NAS.
    There is a smartphone app that allows you to share a folder from your NAS over WiFi and 3G. I want to do this so I can share my music over my 3G when out and about, and play it (I am in UK and have unlimited 3G internet).
    However in the easywebaccess setting it says I havent got UPnP. I'm unsure how to enale/set this in my TC. I goto advanced setting on my NAS and says I need to setup oorts etc, I dont know how to do this on a TC.
    When trying advanced setup I get this error "UPnP Gateway not found and/or doesn't support port forwarding, use manual setup."
    Anyone help please?
    cheers

    Let me suggest you swap your system or your thinking..
    If you use a modem router to which the TC is connected tell me more.. The TC can be bridged and the other device become the router.. this makes things easier as you can then track ports that upnp opens.. and see what you need to do.
    I am unsure where the app is loaded.. is it in the buffalo or the phone??
    Mostly iphone is rigged to itunes, welded or melded would be better as it is almost impossible to escape itunes.. so when you coyly refer to smartphone.. I presume you are not actually talking about iphone but the that horrible company that had the gall to encroach on Apple's space.
    To get music to work, it must use a standard method eg http, or ftp etc.. all you need to do is to tell me what method it uses if you don't have the actual ports it uses.
    Apple buiild everything to operate in their own paid for realm of itunes.. icloud etc. When you try to bypass that.. you need to get the apple router out of the way.
    (It might also be much easier to use an SD-Card or some other memory type if you can plug those in).

  • Can't hard block/unblock Atheros wi-fi card

    Hi, since kernel version 3.6 I have a problem regarding my wi fi card: if I deactivate it from another OS I can't re-activate it, and when it is working I can't power it fully off (the led remains lighted).
    So, it seems the hard block/unblock is impossible; if I use the key shortcut it's only soft-blocked (or unblocked).
    I have a Asus eeepc 1215b, but the problem exists also on two others similar laptops; the involved card are the AR9285 and the AR9485 on mini pci-e.

    Currently, ASPM is disabled for all WLAN+BT combo chipsets when BTCOEX is enabled. This is incorrect since the workaround is required only for WB195, which is a AR9285+AR3011 combo solution. Fix this by checking for the HW version when enabling the workaround.
    From wikipedia: "ASPM is a power management protocol used to manage PCI Express-based serial link devices as links become less active over time. It is normally used on laptops and other mobile Internet devices to extend battery life."

        Rather than going through every single driver, this patch initializes
        chan->orig_mag in wiphy_register(), ignoring whatever value the driver

        from regulatory rulesets, it can do so internally.

  • Buffalo AirStation WLI-CBG54HP High Power Wireless CardBus in G3 Powerbook

    Hi,
    I have a G3 Powerbook (Pismo) and I’m running OSX 3.9 and have installed airport 4.1.
    I want to get a wireless internet connection for this machine in the form of a PCMCIA card and one that will work with airport.
    I’ve searched through some of the previous posts and found lots of relevant info (thanks to all concerned)
    A number of posts suggest that the Buffalo Airstation WLI-CB-G54 works ok with this setup but I would like to know if anybody has any experience with the newer high powered version (WLI-CB-G54HP) and is there any reason to think that this one will not work when the standard one does or should they essentially be the same card?
    If anyone can help me out here i’d be very grateful.

    PowerBook G3500mhz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The list referenced above does not reference the card in discussion...the HP variety.
    I have just put a WLI-CB-G54HP into my G4 portable (fully updated 10.4.6), and I can tell you that there is no joy. There is no LED, though the card icon pops up on the toolbar above, and it has "Power Off Card" in black, the card stays cool and doesn't appear to be on at all. "Unknown Vendor" and "Access Control" are both gray'd out.
    I just checked and the card also doesn't do anything but pop up the icon in my G3 (Pismo? Brown keys...firewire) running OSX Server 10.4.6.
    I have used several earlier versions of this card which always worked the instant they were popped in. I have sold many of them to other happy users since they have a hole in the back for an external antenna...a great feature. I have also plugged in the Buffalo USB Wireless device and it doesn't do a thing either.
    I expect that we still need to learn the reality of the chip manufacturer.
    Meanwhile, the wifi to ethernet converter and router seem to work superbly.

  • Installation of wireless pci network card

    In all the research I have gone through in order to decide what wireless network card I would use, I keep seeing from time to time a reference to which mac operating system version should be in place prior to installation of card. This I found was particularly for NIC(PCI cards) that had 802.11B,G
    protocol. There was a caution to use mac osx version 10? is this correct (am I reading this correctly?)or can These NIC(PCI Cards) still run correctly with any version of mac osx?

    Are you really using 10.0.X?
    I remember having about zero success with networking anything with 10.0.X, ethernet or wireless.
    Yeah, I think you'll have variable results depending on which version of OS X you're running.
    Back to subject:
    I just bought a Buffalo WCI2-PCI-G54S at BestBuy tonight for $39.99
    I have 10.3.9 on a G4 466Mhz machine.
    Put it in a PCI slot, attached the antenna and restarted.
    OS X 10.3.9 found it pretty quickly and auto-configured the Network settings for; I was not expecting this and am still really impressed. I wtched my network status indicator as it turned GREEN.
    All I had to do was turn-on Airport at the top of my screen and select my Base Station, that was it!
    Works great. Not sure if I can print to my Old Trusty Laserwriter since it needs AppleTalk, but we'll see.
    By the way; this is a low-profile(half-height) PCI card and using a BroadCom Chip set.
    Good Luck!

  • I am looking for a new graphics card to help with my 1.5GB files in InDesign.

    I am getting "Out of memory " indications as my files gets to the maximum number of pages in my magazine. I am guessing that I need a larger capacity graphics card to help during the construction of the magazine. Any thoughts?

    I have a Lenovo desktop with win8 and 16GB memory. I have an upgraded graphics card with 2GB memory. I am using CS6. My free drive space is in the 300GB range. I keep all data off line on a 1TB Buffalo drive. I am producing a 52 page color magazine that is filled with graphics and ads (40%). I rarely import graphics files and normally always link them. As I am moving around my file sometimes processing is slow. I have turned off the pre-flight and only use it when I am ready to go to the printer. That helps. I wopuld like to get back to sub-second response time and thought a better performing graphics card would help.

    Hi-
    I have read reports of users using the WMP54G PCI adapter in Mac's with success. The WPC54G may work, as a Buffalo card did, but I have no confirmation of this.
    A Buffalo version, BUFFALO WLI-PCM-L11GP Airstation 11MBPS Wireless PCMCIA Card 802.11B Pc/mac used the Broadcom 54 chipset making the profiler see an Apple native device, and the cards perform with OSX native drivers. The card has been discontinued, though.

  • Belkin F5D7000 NIC as Airport card in a Mac

    First off, I only want to provide my experience here so that others will have less trouble than I.
    Hardware: Two Blue & White G3's running 10.4.6 and 10.4.6 Server.
    Summary: I purchased a Belkin PCI NIC model F5D7000 (version 4.00), popped it in the Mac and immediately it was recognized as an Airport card with no problems.
    The story doesn't end here because according to the bulk of online information, the F5D7000 uses the Broadcom chipset and works the same as an Airport Extreme card. I only later found out that this is an over-simplification and the version of this card is very critical. I only got lucky as there are now six versions of this card floating around out there. Not even Belkin Tech support can tell them apart.
    I needed to purchase a second one for my other Mac and this is where my aggravation really begins. I was faced with version 4.00 and 5.00 on the shelf. I only selected the 5.00 because it was newer and had a removable antenna where the 4.00 does not. This was a huge mistake as the 5.00 does not work as an Airport Extreme card at all... I could not get it to work... I exchanged it for a version 3.00 and subsequently purchased a version 2.00.
    Results:
    Let me summarize my test results below.
    v1.00 - Untested but have read that this version contains the Broadcom chipset and works as an Airport card.
    v2.00 - Airport Confirmed with Broadcom chipset. Belkin told me this version was not Mac compatible.
    v3.00 - RT2500 chipset and not recognized as an Airport card. However I did get it working with the 11g-RT2500 Drivers provided at this link- http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm -> Even though Belkin's F5D7000 product page mentions Mac compatibility, version 3.00 is the only supported card and that's only with OS 10.2 and 10.3. Belkin's drivers do NOT work in Tiger and Tech support will not assist you with Tiger.
    v4.00 - Airport Confirmed with Broadcom chipset. Also note, as far as I could tell, this is the only version without a SMA type removable antenna. Permanent mount that is upside down while in a PowerMac. Easily flipped 180 with some basic tools.
    v5.00 - I can only confirm that this version did NOT work as an Airport card. It may have the same RT chipset and work with the same RT drivers as the 3.00, but I did NOT figure out or confirm this before returning it to the store. A user on another forum has confirmed that his version 5.00 requires the RT2500 drivers from Ralinktech confirming my suspicions that this card uses the RT2500 just like the version 3.00.
    v6.00 - ?? unknown. Some stores carry this version but I did not get my hands on one. Following the chipset leap-frogging pattern above, it looks like this card might have the Broadcom chipset. Can anyone confirm?
    Conclusion: I think this is a great inexpensive card but it's definitely in a gray area between Mac unsupported and fully supported. Belkin needs to decide which way to go and correct their online documentation and tech support people.
    If you can get your hands on a version 1.00, 2.00, or 4.00, you'll probably be ok with a great NIC you can setup as an Airport card in under a minute. With version 3.00 or 5.00 (and maybe 6.00?), you'll need to do a little more work installing the RT drivers. Actually, setting that up was very easy too but since it's not recognized as Airport, you have to make sure to do the extra configurations so you automatically connect on start-up.
    If you get a Belkin F5D7000 that has neither the Broadcom or RT chipsets, then you are outside of my testing arena and I can't really say if/how that would work in a Mac.
    Other Comments: The most difficult part was finding comprehensive online information about this card, chipsets, versions, and Mac support. Also if you get a RT chipset, the Mac initially will not even see this PCI card, therefore, finding out what chipset you have is virtually impossible. Anyone with a Windows PC handy can install it in there perhaps to find out more details.
    I hope that some people will find my post somewhat helpful. I know I was dying to find a post like this about 24 hours ago.

    Got fed up with this, did some research, and ordered
    a Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54 card from NewEgg; it was
    cheaper than Amazon's price, approx. $31.99.
    I assumed that everybody should already be aware that the Buffalo card is also a very good alternative.
    However, some of us got some very good rebate deals on the Belkin, some of us have a Belkin already, and finally some of us had been given a Belkin F5D7000. In those cases, the information regarding Belkin's various versions and chipsets is extremely valuable for saving some time. So this thread was started to provide detailed information to the various Belkin owners since Belkin is so unable or unwilling to help the Mac community.
    Now it's too bad you just didn't try the Belkin version 6.000. It too has the SMA connector and it might have the Broadcom chipset. Then you could have reported back here to confirm or deny status of the latest version's compatibility. Staples has a 14 day no hassle return policy. That's how I was able to test out a couple versions.
    Regardless, I'm very glad this thread at least helped you in that since you could not find version 2.000 or 4.000 you went with a known good alternate.

  • X100e: Any memory card that won't protrude?

    I read somewhere that using an SD/SDHC card in the built-in card reader of the X100e will leave so much of the card sticking out that it's inadvisable to leave a card in when you slip the laptop into a bag.
    Is there any type of card that would be flush with the outside of the machine?  Perhaps a memory stick micro?
    Moderator edit: Removed accidental duplication.

    Hello,
    A Secure Digital (SD) card sticks out about 11mm and a Memory Stick PRO Duo sticks out about 5mm.  I definitely would not leave a memory card in the slot that sticks out this far.  If you want to have a flash RAM card permanently attached (ReadyBoost, perhaps), then you might want to consider a USB flash drive, like the Buffalo RUF2-PS-RD or a Kawau C266 MicroSD card adapter (plus appropriate MicroSD card) .  They both look like they might be small enough to fit with inside a properly sized-bag while still installed in an X100e. 
    Regards,

  • PC Wireless card in OSX

    +I know there is a list of PC cards using Broadcom chips that work in OSX+
    +So let's leave that out of this discussion+
    I was looking into 802.11b PC cards that work in OSX
    More specifically the Proxim Skyline card (model 473a, FCC ID Number PD5LMWP100)
    http://tinyurl.com/2v2rwj
    It works in OS9 just fine, but I have a friend who I have to mail the Skyline card to if it does indeed work for OSX for his Lombard.
    I thought this driver may work, http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/ but I have no firsthand experience with it and I don't know if the Proxim card uses Prism chips. The site mentions a Skyline card but I am not sure if its an earlier version or manufacturer

    Langdon,
    For what it's worth, I have no experience with that card, but if it runs under 9.x with Apple's AirPort software, it indeed has the Prism chipset. The original AirPort card used the same chipset and is the only one AirPort software supports in 9.x.
    The iOXperts driver lists the Proxim/Farallon Skyline 802.11b PC Card as supported along with the Lucent WaveLAN PC cards, the same card supported by AirPort's 2.0.4 software:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120
    http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/devices_80211b.html
    Assuming the PC card has the Prism chipset, the Sourceforge driver should work although it has not been updated since 10.2.x; I recall a few posts long ago that it still worked under 10.3.x but don't know if that included all versions of 10.3.
    Here is another reference to the card (sorry, no attribution for quote):
    "WaveLAN/ORiNOCO PC Card from Lucent/Agere/Proxim - These cards go by a variety of names under a variety of brands, for $45 USD or less (as of April 2003). They're easily available new or on eBay. The cards were originally developed by Lucent Technologies as the WaveLAN series, and Apple's AirPort cards use the same technology, which is why the Lucent (etc.) cards work well with Apple hardware and software. The cards moved to Agere Systems under the ORiNOCO name, and Proxim bought Agere. Even more confusing, other companies have re-branded the cards as their own. Avaya, Buffalo, and Compaq all sell them, and the one I use is a Dell TrueMobile 1150 Gold—but it's the same old Lucent card at heart (just look for the Lucent on the back label.)"
