Ordering an extra box

Hi,
I am in the process of ordering an extra box for our BT vision but have a few queries before I go ahead with the order:
We have the black vision box - I want the recordable extra box for upstairs because my family are sports mad and I rarely get the chance at the moment to watch the 'On Demand' content plus 'catch up' TV.
We have BT Infinity and I have been told that the box downstairs needs to change to a YOUVIEW box to get the new extra box plus they will be changing us to Netflix instead of BT TV. I have also been told we need an engineer to visit to set up the boxes as they need to be 'hard-wired' in. I mentioned that we have the BT Vision box already wired and plugged in with ethernet cabling from the router but was told we still need an engineer.
We also already have an aerial socket upstairs and an ethernet cable running from the router here as well, which can be used for the new extra box.
I have a couple of questions which I did ask on the phone but didn't get a clear answer:-
Why do we need an engineer to come to set up the new Youview boxes if we already have our cabling in place? My family are all technically minded and have no trouble setting things up.
Also we were told we need to change to Netflix. The new price will be £13.99 a month - Our BT TV is £12.50 a month, so price is ok, but is Netflix as good or same as BT TV with all the free stuff and no hidden extra charges? We understand that it's £5 extra a month for the extra box which is ok.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you, skappy70 & umpire, for the answers to my post which have been very helpful. I will try to answer you both in this one reply if I can.
The BT TV we get at the moment is :
BT TV Unlimited- which includes Film & Box sets /Music & Kids packs
at £12.50 a month,
+BT Sport Pack
Free
+BT Sport HD Pack
at £3.00 a month
The lady on the telephone who was quoting me for her suggestion to change to Netflix, to replace the BT TV unlimited Films and box sets, said she would take off the kids pack (as I said we don't use it) and add on the Music pack, as I said we did use that.
For Netflix with the music pack she quoted £13.99. She said everything else in the TV (BT sport & HD sport) we have will stay the same.
Can I ask if this sounds fair, or should I be trying for a discount on this price?
I was quoted £135 one off charge to have a new youview box on the main set up and an extra box (recordable youview) which included an Engineer to visit to install (which I queried and was told it was a necessity??)
Thank you, skappy70 & umpire, for confirming what I thought, that the boxes can be self installed and no Engineer is needed.
I will be reading through all the info you gave me, umpire - Thank you for that - I will get back to you soon if there is any confusion or any further questions.

Extra box misleading marketing

I have two BT supplied Youview+ boxes and would like to take out an Extra box subscription. Sounds simple? Well it isn't!
It would seem that the Extra box subscription is only available if you are willing to pay an upfront cost of £99 regardless of whether you need a new box or not.
It clearly states in several places that the requirement for an Extra Box subscription is, "Two YouView+ boxes from BT", it does not state that the £99 fee is compulsory otherwise you cannot have the service.
I do not understand why BT would want to miss out on the extra subscription revenue from people who already have two boxes, especially those that have the new Youview+ boxes, but that seems to be the decision they have made after 3 unsuccessful attempts to sort this out with customer services.
BT please be more clear in the marketing of this service

Just to follow up that BT have confirmed what I initially posted. The multiroom service is only available if you pay a £99 fee and purchase a new box directly from BT, regardless of whether you have an existing 'BT' Youview+ box.
We also discussed the loss of revenue for BT by isolating customers who already have two boxes, to this they confirmed that this is their current strategy, but it may change some time in the future.
In order to close this topic I would just like BT to be more clear of the process involved in enabling an Extra box in their online literature, in doing so they will save themselves and some of their customers like myself a lot of time and effort.

Lack of broadband connection with Extra Box

Hi all Requiring some technical assistance/advice really. I have recently had installed Youview box and BT HomeHub 5 in our lounge as Infinity has finally reached our area. All is fine. My old Sky+ box in the kitchen stopped working over the weekend, so I thought I could purchase a Youview Extra Box to replace it, as I am quite happy with Youview. However, there is no hub in the kitchen (it's in the lounge), so I can't plug Ethernet cable in. Wi-fi won't stretch that far. I can't feasibly run a cable from lounge to kitchen as it's too far and would be very unsightly. I looked at the various plug-in BT Home Hotspot kits, but they imply that you need to be on the same ring main/electrical circuit to work - which I don't believe my kitchen & lounge are (separate fuseboxes) So, in a nutshell, what can I do? If I simply connect the extra Youview box to the TV in the kitchen then I can still use the record, live pause and playback features without being connected to the internet? I am happy to forego the connectivity features eg iPlayer, film libraries etc on this set. Or is the Youview simply defunct if you don't connect to a Hub? Help gratefully received!

Powerline adapter and similar devices, communicate over your mains wiring using radio frequencies.
These frequencies will not pass through your electricity meter to the external electricity distribution network.
As both your feeds come from the same meter, it is possible that these types of adapters may work, with a reduced speed, depending on the lengths of the cables.
If you could borrow a pair to try, then I think it would be worthwhile. Some types may work better than others.
I have a pair of TP-Link ones feeding a wireless access point in the garage at the end of the garden, and that is on a separate fuse box.
These are TP-Link TL-PA211KIT AV200 Nano 200Mbps Powerline Adapter - Twin Pack

I have my serial number for a previous installation of PSE 8, but when I go to put it in on my new computer, there's an extra box.

I got my copy of PSE 8 with a tablet I bought a couple years ago. The computer I had installed it on died, so I bought a new computer. Only then did I realize I'd somehow lost the installation CD. I went on the mostly-dead computer and managed to recover my serial number that way. But when I go to put it in to the boxes to re-register on my new computer, there's a whole extra box. In other words, my serial number doesn't appear to be long enough to go into the provided boxes. What is going on?

You can't see the whole serial number that way. If you registered it, you can go to the main page of adobe.com and sign in or click where it says "welcome, < your name>", you should be able to find your serial number in the links there.

Extra boxes when Main Window Overflows

Hi All,
I created a table in Main Window, after that i have long texts. If the long text overflows, then i am getting two boxes which are not even present in the form anywhere. I am wondering how to get rid of those two extra boxes. Please help me.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Elobrate it a bit more.
I couldn't visualize what do you mean by extra box, where exactly they are...before the table/ after the table.
or extra boxes in one coulm of the table.
cheers,

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online.

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online. I know for sure that the box is not there in iWeb. You will see it on the homepage of www.gageformen.com of you're on a PC. Any clue how I can get rid of it? Thanks!

Post a screenshot of the page on the PC so we can see what you're referring to? What type of box image is it?
By the way, I noticed that the only text in your entire site that is not an image file is that on the page RESPONSIBLE STYLE. That's the only text in your site that a search engine can use in it's ranking and listing. That could be limiting as to what the search engines have to use from your site.

How to export photos with titles in chronological order. Checking box for title and keyword doesn't seem to work

I want to export a group of JPEG photos including titles in the order in which they were taken. Checking the box to include titles and key words seems not to work.

You can not
exporting creates files - files have no order - the order is set by the program you use to view them - for example in the finder you can view files by the date created, date modified, size, alpha, etc
So to control the order when viewing in the finder you must have an attribute that the finder can sort on set - the most common way to export photos in a specific order is to make an album in iphoto in the order you want and then export the album using the sequential naming option of the export command - then view them in the finder using a alpha sort - Exporting From iPhoto
However since you want to retain your existing title that will not work for you

PO Box only populating on purchase order if PO Box Lobby field populated

We have an issue with the PO Box number printing on purchase orders. If we have a PO Box number for a vendor with no street address, the PO Box number is not printed on the purchase order unless an entry is made in the PO Box Lobby field. For vendors with a street address and a PO Box number, we enter the street address in the PO Box Lobby field. The purchase order displays this as "123 Main Street - PO Box 456". If we don't enter anything in the PO Box Lobby field, the PO Box number is not printed and a blank line is inserted in the address where the PO Box number would normally appear on the purchase order. We've been entering a single character in the PO Box Lobby field (such as a period or single quote) in order to get the PO Box number to print but it's not the ideal solution. We get a printout that has a line such as ". - PO Box 456" if we enter a period in the PO Box Lobby field. Any suggestions on how we can get the PO Box number to print if there is no street address would be appreciated.

When I print the order, it looks the same as the print preview. The PO Box number is not printed unless I enter something in the PO Box Lobby field. I've tried many combinations but I haven't found a way to print the PO Box number on the purchase order. There is a check box on the vendor master record where you can specify the PO Box without a number and I've tried checking that box, deleting the PO Box number and entering it in the PO Box Lobby field but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

New phone ordered and empty box delivered hell.

I have perused the forums and it seems I am not the only one with a similar horror story.
I ordered a new phone upgrade beginning of February. Package was delivered February 14th with nothing but a few pieces of paper in it. I immediately called Verizon and informed them of this. They told me they opened a ticket and to check back in several days. I called back several days later and was told it was still pending, but they would re-send the ticket, I was also told I would receive a text message with the ticket #. I never received that text. I called back a third time and was told, "my ticket had been approved and I should receive an email with tracking information for the new phone within a day." Well low and behold I never received that email.
I called back a 4th time and the representative seemed to struggle to locate anything regarding my prior calls. She then told me she would call me back in 3 days with an update. I never received that call back. I called a 5th time and was told by the representative that my ticket had been closed and that Verizon found no reason to send me a new phone, as the package had been delivered. At this point I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor basically said the same thing, however after a long conversation he said he would open a new ticket to investigate the transit of the shipment, as the previous ticket that had been opened was only for a lost or stolen phone. The supervisor told me Verizon investigated with Fedex and found nothing wrong. When I asked for proof of this, the supervisor sent me the instructions on how to log onto the Fedex website to see the order. Well all he gave me was the same information that you see on every tracking website. It was not a detailed breakdown of the weight in shipment. The supervisor told me to give him 3 days and he would call me back.
Well low and behold it is now past the third day and nothing from him. I have reached out to Fedex, both the 800# and the local transit facility in an attempt to retrieve the history of the weight in shipping. They have both confirmed that Verizon must be the one to file the claim to open the investigation into the package weight during shipment.
I really am at a loss as to where to go from here. I have a $230 upgrade bill due at the end of the month, yet I have no phone. I understand Verizon can't simply send out new iPhone 5s like hotcakes, but I also cannot pay for something I have not received. At this point I would even settle for a replacement 4s. I have been a loyal paying customer of Verizon for 10 plus years, always paid my bill on time and now this is how they are going to treat me?

Sorry to hear of your luck, the following actions need to be taken as quickly as possible.
First, contact Verizon support, do not speak with an agent, immediately request a supervisor. Explain to them the situation (again), be sure to include the hurdles of the tickets being open and you not being contacted by the supervisor you spoke to last time as promised. Next, inform them because you did not receive the phone you will not be paying for the phone, and that you will be disputing the charges, and demand to have your contract extension date reversed as you did not receive the phone you requested as a term of extending your contract. Be sure to tell him or her that you are planning on filing in small claims court.
He probably will not like being told all of that. If he does what you asked (reversing the contract extension, and refunding the money, or agreeing to send out a new phone of the same model) then you are good, just be sure you receive shipping confirmation.
Odds are, you will not get what you are asking for, and the demands will fall on deaf ears. That's OK though.
When you get the bill, immediately send via certified mail with receipt that you are disputing the charges for the phone ($199.99, $30 upgrade fee, and any applicable sales taxes and shipping costs). This now being in dispute cannot be put on a credit report (yet).
Finally, do not delay, file a case for small claims court, for the full amount you paid for the phone, plus taxes and shipping fees (if applicable) plus filing fees. Make sure you keep all your documents (shipping information, etc..) organized, be sure to bring the empty box and such as well as that may be needed.
At this point it will be up to Verizon to get any stolen material back from FedEx as you never received the goods, therefore you are not responsible.
Good luck!

How can I set the tab order of text box controls on each page of a tab control?

I need to be able to select the tabbing order of individual controls on a single page of a tabbed control. How??

In LV 6.1 an up you should be ablel to right click on the edge of the tab control when the tab-page in question is selected.
The bttom selcetion in the pop-up is "Reoder controls in page..."
selecting this option will switch editing modes to allow you to specify the ored, just like in a cluster.
I seem to remeber in older versions you had to drag the tabable controls off the tab control, specify the tabbing oder and then drag them back on. The oldest version I have on this machine is 6.1 so that all I can speak for at the moment.
I hope this helps,

Sort order in filter box (NAVPANEL)

Dear experts,
in BEx 7.0 it seems the free characteristics in the navigation pane are sorted ascending according to the text.
I have found an option for changing the sort order in the workbook (design mode -> filter/navigation pane -> properties -> dimensions -> change order).
We would however like to generally influence the sort order and select it in dependency of the order in the query designer or the technical names/text of the characteristics,...
Any ideas on how to accomplish our endeavour?
Kind regards,
Jeanette

Hi Jeanette,
For some reason this 5 year old question has appeared on the first page of BEx discussions. The only way to influence this sort order is to change the name of the Char.
Regards,
Michael

Ordering of List Box Events when Dragging

I have a multicolumn listbox in which dragging of objects to reorder them is enabled, and I have an event structure handling these drags as well as selection of different items in the list. A problem occurs because when dragging and dropping, LabVIEW generates a value change event before a drag event. In other words, if the user drags an item from position 7 to position 1, LabVIEW first generates a value change event with value 1, then generates a drag event indicating that item 7 has been dragged to position 1.
The reason this causes a problem is that the listbox is not the data, it's just a representation of the data for the user. The value of the listbox gives an index into an array of objects, and next to the listbox I have a subpane where I insert a VI that allows the user to edit the object; which VI is inserted here depends on the runtime type of the object.
To accomplish this, on a value change event, I take the new value to get an object from the array and call a method that gives a VI reference, which is then inserted into the subpane. On a drag event, I rearrange the array and then generate a value change event. So when the user rearranges the list with a drag operation, dragging an object of type A into position 1, previously occupied by an object of type B, the sequence of events is as follows:
1) Value change; new value = 1: Object at position 1 is type B, so VI B is inserted into the subpane.
2) Drag; old value = 7, new value = 1: Array is rearranged; object of type A is removed from position 7 and inserted at position 1.
3) Value change; new value = 1: Object at position 1 is type A, so VI A is inserted into the subpane.
The result of all this is that the controls for a type B object flash briefly before being replaced by the controls for a type A object. This is a minor but irritating interface glitch.
Is there a way to change this behavior? If that drag event weren't preceded by a value change, there would be no need to change the subpane at all on a drag event, since the same object is selected before and after; but in the value change event handler, I have no choice but to put a new VI in the subpane, since there seems to be no way of knowing whether the user selected a different item or dragged an item to a different spot.

You have given a good explanation but is it possible for you to post a sample VI that demonstrates the behavior that you explained?

Using two BT Branded Youview Humax boxes

9 months ago I purchased a second BT branded Humax Youview box from John Lewis. The two boxes have worked on the internet channels perfectly well. I have now had access to the internet channels removed on the second box. I very rarely had need to access the internet channels on both boxes at the same time, it was just convenient to be able to use then in two different places. I am prepared to pay the £5 a month extra to reaccess the internet channels on the second box, but do I really have to pay £99 pounds for another box, when these two have been fine. BT have stated that they will only provide the service on two BT supplied boxes, and not on a 3rd party supplied box. Why would John Lewis a highly respected retailer be selling BT branded boxes for any other reason than use as a second box. If I had a fault with my BT supplied box I would go to BT for a replacement, in or out of contract. Why is it neccessary to have a G4 box

To address the bold text -
Yes - you do need two Youview boxes that BT provide to you. BT appear currently to be inflexible on this. Note that BT do not currently sell any of its non BT lve internet channels packages/add-ons/bolt-ons for use on retail bought boxes.So its clearly a commercial or channel licensing decision not to do so.
The G4 is not itself a requirement for multiroom - it's simply the current standard new box that BT issue so if you order a extra box for multiroom thats the one you get.
