Most of our premium movie channels do not come across as HD (not 1080).

Most of our premium channels do not show as HD (or the 1080 format, picture cut off on top and bottom) This occurs with both our TVs. We recently upgraded to the new Xfinity box for the living room with the remote in the bedroom. We never noticed this problem before.

For me in western PA, most of the premium channels are not HD. For example, HBO has about 5 channels, but only one is broadcast HD. The others are SD and don't fill up the screen on my HD DVR. If you're referring to the X1 box, then the box only stretches the image left/right (if you have that turned on), it does not touch top/bottom, so you will see bars if that is how the broadcast is. You may be confusing HD with "filling your screen". Your TV may have a zoom or stretch setting as well that you may be able to adjust.

Multiple heading rows in a table template does not come across

Hello,
   I've created a table with two heading rows with different content (please see attached file).
   When I import this table format into a new Frame doc, the first heading row gets repeated twice.
   Any ideas about how to fix this?
   I have even tried to make one heading and the other a footer row (at the bottom) but even that formating does not come across in the template.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anupam.

Anupam,
The import into a new document has nothing to do with what you are seeing. If you look in the table designer, you will see that there is nothing there that specifies that the table must have two heading rows. When you insert a table and select the ids_register table format, the dialog box lets you specify the number of heading rows; it can even be one.
Note that if you insert a second table in your original document and specify you want two heading rows, you get the same result: two heading rows that are both like the first one.
Without know the real details, I am guessing that the table format is capable of remembering only one heading row format.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but maybe someone else has a workaround to this.
Good luck,
Van

Why do premium movie channels alter the widescreen aspect ratio?

Why do channels like HBO HD and Cinemax HD change the aspect ratio of movies? I have seen movies that I own on dvd or blu-ray that are 2:35:1 or 2:40:1 aspect ratio (meaning very wide and you see some thin black bars at the top and bottom of your screen) but when they are broadcast on these movie channels it looks like the films are partially panned & scanned down to a 1:85:1 ratio (not as wide and the bars are gone).
This is really stupid, and the movies are not being shown in their full widescreen orginal presentation. What do they have to gain by cutting off parts of the picture? I have noticed some channels like showtime don't do this, but most do. Obviously this isn't verizons doing its the channel providers, but it's annoying.
And what's with all the logos all over the premium channels nowadays? These are paid channels the screen should be clear of any and all logos and any add overlays. If I want to know the channel and rating I'm watching I'll just press the guide button, it's overkill.

They do this for the OnDemand movies as well. I agree...it is VERY annoying. There is NO reason for it. Sure,there are some people out there who want their screen filled, but they can always use the ZOOM button to do that. It's a terrible practice and I never watch movies on channels that crop them (and am cancelling the channels that do it when my contract bundle expires). The only channels that show movies in the correct ratios are SHOWTIME, THE MOVIE CHANNEL, and HDNet MOVIES. (EPIX shows old movies in OAR but crop newer films.)
The others, Notably HBO that started this practice, do occassionally show OAR. But usually only when the director specifically had in his agreement that his picture would only be so displayed when marked to TV channels.

Database is not comming up. 'ORACLE not available' error

I have two servers and one master backup server. Sun OS version 10 and Oracle 10 standarded edition are installed in three servers. Database files are saved in EMC storage and storage is mounted to the server while transactions are going on. Once I mounted the storage on the master backup server, database is started. This is my environment.
In my case, while database is runing on master backup server, some one has unmounted the storage without shutting down the database. So I manually killed all oracle processes and remount the storage. Then tried to start the database, but database was not comming up and only one entry is there in the alert log saying 'instance is starting' and following message was given.
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
: 13: Permission denied
As well as I can't see any oracle processes are running.
Then I tried to mount the other server's storage volumes and start its database on the master backup server. Fortunatly it was started successfully.Then I tried to remount my first server and start the database. Again it was failed. Finally I restarted the server and problem solved. So I need to clarify what the reason to happen this situation. Please give me a proper solution as I am not an experienced DBA.
Each time I tried to log into the database locally.
Thank you.

Hey Man,,
I think the problem with the server name or IP try this;
Try to check the host name, I have the same problem (on windows).
I checked the host name in system32/drivers/etc/hosts.
in this file find out the ip and name of ur machine, if some thing wrong there make ur own entry with ur machine ip and name. (do not alter existing entries add your own entry)
and then reboot the system
Hope this will work.

I've set up my email on my ipad to sync with yahoo but i'm missing my most recent emails are missing has anyone else come across this?

Hi,
Could anyone help, point me in the right direction
I've set up my email on my ipad to sync with yahoo but i'm missing my most recent emails. Can't find any obvious settings faults.
Thanks.

Hi Jeremy,
    That is my understanding. Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account.
   But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only. I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
   That's correct--it will not delete your purchases. You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff. -Bob-

HT4798 I have not come across a system that forces you to keep changing passwords like this one, I log in using my i.d.and password and suddenly it is rejected so instead of re establishing it I have to choose another,this is crazy.

I have now had to change my p/word four times as apple i.d. keeps rejecting the current one after a while, there is no password recovery system anymore just a select new option which is tedeous and confusing.

I recently changed my Google Password and so I was getting the same message everytime my gmail tried to update on my phone. you would need to update the password on the account website, scroll down a bit it will allow you to update the password

HT201412 My ipad will not come on, but I do not have a manual, which is the home button and the sleep button to perform the reset as described above?

My ipad will not come on, I do not have a manual. Recommendations have been to reboot/reset it by holding down the home button and the sleep button. I do not know which button is which. Can someone please describe to me which two buttons to hold down?

Reset
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
4. Ignore the red slider

HT1657 I downloaded a movie on my I-Pad but don't have the cables to hook it up to our big screen TV. I do, however, on my Mac Book Pro laptop.... How do I get the movie on to my laptop. It does not appear anywhere in I-Tunes.

I rented a movie through ITunes on my I-pad. I'd now like to play it on my big screen TV. I do not have the cables to connect the I-pad to the TV, but I do have the cables to connect my MacBook Pro laptop to the TV. How do I get the movie from the I-pad to the laptop. It does not come up anywhere on the Itunes application on my laptop.

Transfer the movie from your iPad to your MacBook then. =)

The Movie Channel (TMC) not searchable in TV Listings Search Box. ??

On the TV Listings page on the Verizon website, when you type in The Movie Channel (TMC) or enter the number of that channel, the results are "no results". WHY is that?? (i've only tried that one channel. Probably others don't show either.)
Search feature is awful (for more reasons than just this one)
Or am I wrong about searching for this channel?
Thank you.

DirecTV Movie Channels vs Netflix

I've been a Directv customer since 1995, replacing really bad cable service where I live
I've always been (and still am) happy with the service and picture quality... but not so much with the cost of have basic service PLUS movie channels
Recently, a combination of factors has led me to plan to keep basic service... and drop the movie channels
1 is DTV raising their rates and 2 is Netflix growing to become a viable alternative
I recently ordered a Roku Netflix streaming video device... which I will connect to my living room TV when the Roku arrives, and then start a (2 week demo) Netflix account to see how it works with streaming video on demand
Figuring that will all work OK (Netflix user group has many happy users, plus the usual few who have problems getting things configured) I will then buy a 2nd Roku box for the theater setup... and will then drop all added movie channels from my DTV account
Will still have DTV basic service... just no more movie channels pumping out a couple hundred movies a month (most of which don't interest me) instead wife or I will scroll through what is available on Netflix (they claim 10,000 titles) and pick the one we want to watch, when we want to watch
We'll see how things work out when the Roku arrives... and I'm sure one customer isn't going to break DTV... but if they aren't careful, their price increases may just lead to more people leaving, or dropping the expensive movie channels, in favor of other movie sources

John T Smith,
You do know smart phones have apps for Netflix? You do not have to be at a computer to select or control your downloads. It‘s worth a thought and consideration. (Topic discussion)
Creig, my good friend,
It’s good to share a thread with you again. One of these days I hope it is beers we share together.
I understood what you were saying about loss of human interaction and jumping from one virtual world into another.
I have my own personal theory/observation of this behavior which I have never seen anyone state. Before I give it, let’s have a flashback;
In the olden/olden days you did the “circle dance” to meet some one. After you met them, their aunts would follow ten steps behind on your date as chaperones, while you got to know the person you were interested in.
Remember how your parents hated your music? I have no interest in my kid’s music (Jonas Brothers), which they love. The previous generation never likes the changes/norms of the new generation.
Remember in the olden days dating meant going to drive in movies, or the “malt shop”? And not like now with clubs where “bottle service” costs $1000 to get a table, and you are out until 3am?
In the olden days (5-10 years ago) , you went to bars or church to meet people. Now the vast majority of people meet each other on-line. (Statistically true)
The world is moving like a bullet into this “virtual” world. We old foggies lament for the olden days. The genie is out of the bottle.
THEORY
My theory is that this is the direction the social evolution of culture/society is heading. (Like it or not) It will be the norm when all the elders die out, if not now. It is only logical.
Five years ago, I would only text when a reply was not needed. i.e. “I am on schedule, see you at 8”. Now I have conversations via text. I do not sit and wait for a response. I’m engaged in what I am doing at the moment. Later the reply comes. When I have a chance, I reply. I am multi-tasking, and the text is a low priority conversation. If it is a high priority, I call and talk. Logical and productive. (Perhaps that couple in the movies would not have even been talking to each even if they didn’t have their phones to text with?)
The world is moving towards a new norm in interaction.
I’m sure when telephones first appeared in the early 20th century, people scorned them as there was no face-to-face interaction. (“How can you get the full gist of the conversation without seeing the person’s facial expressions?”) We grew up with telephones as the norm and never thought twice about using one.
The new generation will grow up with the virtual interaction as the norm.
We are no longer the “beautiful people” who rule the world with our norms. Those norms are old fashion. There is a new group of beautiful people. Plug me in.
(I always smile when you post.)

Our hard drive on our 27in Mac crashed and was replaced. Is there any way to get our music/movies from our iTunes account back?

Our hard drive crashed (it was the one that was recalled) and Apple replaced it. Is there a way to access our iTunes account and get our music/movies back? Or do we have to re-download everything? What about music we purchased?

Perhaps without a lecture level 10, it has long been a basic requirement to backup one's computer. Of course who would have thought one would have to backup something that is downloaded from a premium service like Apple's iTunes with the iCloud.
Much of the media purchased from Apple appears to be redownloadable, except for things that are arbitrarily not (because of licensing or whatever, but these reasons are not apparent to us, the lowly customer).
This is hard to understand until one has a problem, and finds the article listed above, or tries to enter a support ticket and ends up in the forum with someone who has obviously answered too many questions.
So how about we ask that a product manager at Apple consider a novel new feature - provide an online locker for movies purchased with real money through iTunes.
Let's call it iCloud and tell the world about it!

Firefox is opening new windows automaticly most often when I move the curser

Firefox has started opening new windows that show redirect. This happens most often when I move the curser. The problem is intermittent as it seems to stop when you close all the windows at times. Then when you go to a new page it starts opening new windows again.

If this affects a lot of sites randomly, there's a good chance it is caused by an add-on. Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or if obviously bad, remove).
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the extra windows?
Also recommended:
(1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. Then look for any recent unrecognized programs that may have snuck in as part of a bundle. Remove everything you do not know to be useful and trustworthy.
(2) Our support article lists some other scanner/cleaner tools that you may find helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

Most of our premium movie channels do not come across as HD (not 1080).
