PPV without data connectivity?

Hello,
Is it possible to watch FIOS pay-per-view with a set top box that does not have data connectivity (but does get the TV signal)?
The issue is the wiring in my house is a bit wonky. Some rooms get a full connection to FIOS--TV, guide data, on demand, etc.--other rooms get the TV signal but no data. If I order PPV online or on the phone (not through one of the boxes) can I watch it in a room without data?
Other questions about watching a single PPV event in multiple rooms suggest this might work.
(I've swapped boxes to confirm the issue is the house, not the boxes. The same box will have data in one room, but no data in another. )
Thanks
Edit: oh, and the box is HD QIP 71001, if that makes a difference

You should be able to as the PPV is a linear channel (1000 or 1001).  However to watch on that box you will have to order by phone or web since the box can't request authorization due to the lack of data connection (although I am not sure if data connection is required for authorization or if it is done over the TV band data channel).  If you get guide data it should work but can't guarantee.

  • "Get media content now" without data connection?

    Hi all.
    I have a prepaid sim in my Lumia because I use it very little. When I got my Lumia charged and running 2 weeks ago, I had the equivalent of over $240 credit on my SIM card, "Data connection" was switched on and once the Lumia was running, I sent one single text message with the word "testing" to my daughter. Next day I was horrified when my provider sent me a message "you have less than 10 Francs credit". I called Swisscom and they told me that the day before, my Lumia had gobbled up more than the equivalent of $150 and that THAT day so far it had used up over $80. I felt absolutely sick. Normally 100 Swiss Francs lasts me for a year.
    They told me to switch off the Data connection and just use wifi. But now, when my daughter sends me a picture, I just get that blasted "Get media content now" message.
    I simply cannot afford the data connection. I could get images and multimedia content messages fine with my late departed and much-missed E7 and even my old Communicator could pick up multi-media via wifi. so why the step back with the Lumia ??? And is there any way I can get e.g. multimedia images without a data connection (I already tried the aircraft mode on/off trick with no luck).
    Our entire family have been Nokia customers since they first made mobile phones but by now I am the only one of us who has persevered (thanks to the Communicator then the E7)  but I hate this bloody Lumia 900 thing which I received as a replacement for my non-charging E7. I swear I am going to put it on ebay and get myself an Iphone and will never buy a Nokia again.

    The 150+ SFr was presumably from a phone software update. I didn't send an MMS message but an SMS = one word only.
    I checked that the wifi icon was on at all times but the Nokia seems to look first for G3. Because Nokia didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a manual or user instructions of any kind (or charger or SIM removal pin or headphones) when they sent me this phone, I didn't think of checking the data connection setting to be honest.
    Last night I wasted a further 7 hours trying to install Zune on my XP PC.. It said it couldn't install because Media Centre needed updating to Rollup 2 or later. I already HAVE all the Media Centre updates, went to Microsoft, wanted to download it again, they wanted verification but when I ran their verification tool I was told that the verification tool was outdated and to use the later version - yes, and that on the Microsoft website..
    After 7 hrs of going round in circles, I went to bed at 5 a.m. and today went to Swisscom and got myself an Iphone 4. I have better things to do than to spend 7 hours trying to install software..
    OK, it's another rant but I am mightily dissatisfied with Nokia - even the keypad keeps rolling itself up when I try to enter something. so to enter a 10 digit phone number takes a total of about 30+ taps because the damn keypad disappears before I can tap on a number. Incredible.

  • How can I create a data connection without ODBC (directly with OLE DB)

    If connecting to an OLE DB data source, which is not defined as ODBC, the well known error message appears in Acrobat, that the environment is not trusted. The Designer Help says, that the document must be certified in Acrobat to run OLE DB without ODBC. So I certified the document in Acrobat allowing dynamic content for it. But the error message always appears. So I have some questions to this:
    How is the correct certification process in Acrobat to define a trusted environment for using OLE DB without ODBC?
    Why generates using of ODBC an trusted environment? With using ODBC data sources can be changed external from Acrobat, so I must think, ODBC is absolutely insecure.
    Why is OLE DB without ODBC insecure? Here I have a defined connection string, which cannot be changed at runtime (if the form developer this doesn't want).
    And why is the first record displayed instead of the error message, if using OLE DB without ODBC, but navigation is impossible?
    This seems all very mysterious to me.
    Does anyone in the world has ever created an OLE DB data connection (without ODBC) with Designer and Acrobat, which runs in a trusted environment?
    Thanks for your answers.

    For the Projects, the trick will be the Asset files. If they will fit onto DVD DL discs, you're OK. If they are too large (DV-AVI is ~ 13GB per hour), then you'll need some type of backup, or spanning software, that will write files across multiple discs. A better choice, IMO, would be a 1 - 2 TB external, where you can use Project Manager, or just Windows Explorer and Copy, to do the entire Project folder with Assets. I'd recommend against a USB and go at least for FW-400. FW-800 would be better, but you'll need FW-800 connections on your computer. eSATA would be the best, but then you'll need eSATA connectors.
    Good luck,

  • HT201250 can a time capsule be used as just a backup for data without being connected to a home network?

    This is the explanation for my my question about whether a time capsule can be used as a backup without being connected to a network.  I had to disconnect my time capsule when I upgraded my landline to a wireless home phone in order to go to a wireless security system that would work with my 2WIRE router. The time capsule blocked the usage of my camera on my security system, not allowing the camera to connect to the 2WIRE router. Once I disconnected the time capsule,  the camera was able to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    See > https://discussions.apple.com/message/16717724#16717724
    As you can read, you can do what you want. You just have to set up the Time Capsule network in AirPort Utility without connecting it to the router and ignoring the messages, and connect to the Time Capsule network. You will have to switch between the Time Capsule and the other router's networks

  • How to install games without a data connection

    have a curve 8520. i do not have a data connection, no service provider. i only use wifi and connect to my desktop via usb. how is the best way to install games. can i download from bb app world? i have tried downloading from other places but the games either do not load correctly (.jad files) or they do not run. i suspect they were not for my model. any help is ppreciated.

    Those commands don't need an internet connection.
    Do this:
    1) download ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 … .db.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz when you have internet
    2) on your home pc (as root): cd /var/lib/pacman ; cd current ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/current.db.tar.gz ; cd ../extra ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/extra.db.tar.gz
    3) pacman -Sp --noconfim kde > pkglist
    4) take that file where you have internet and run wget -nv -i .../pkglist in an empty directory
    5) when the download has finished take those files to your home pc, put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and run pacman -S kde

  • Slow/non-existent data connection on 3GS/iOS 4.0.1

    I have been a happy 3GS user since last December. About three days ago, I synced to iTunes and installed the latest software update, to iOS v4.0.2. Since then, whenever I try to access any web page in Safari, it just sits there for a while trying to access the page before eventually coming up with a message that it was unable to access the web page "because the server stopped responding". The same happens if I try to use the data connection via another app (e.g. Facebook). I should add that everything works fine if I connect via WiFi.
    I did manage to get on the web yesterday evening when I was in a city centre area with five bars of 3G signal strength, but even then it took ages to load a web page. I have always had between about two and four bars of signal strength at home, and this has always been sufficient to load web pages reasonably quickly.
    I usually use the 3G data connection several times a day, and have never experienced this problem until now. I've just got off the phone with O2 technical support – they asked me first to reset network settings and then reset all settings, but neither of these made any difference. They left me with two suggestions: go to an o2 store and ask them to try my SIM card in a different handset (I don't have much faith in this working), or do a factory reset/restore via iTunes. I'm loathe to do this unless absolutely necessary, as I guess it means losing all my data and having to resync everything from scratch.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions other than what the o2 guy said? Is there any way I can get back to 4.0.1, which worked fine?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Wow, our responses are starting to get long.

    So unfortunately, you still don't know for certain that it's not a SIM issue.
    I agree it's a pity. I really wanted to be eliminate this as a possible cause, but I couldn't make the guy do it.
    Maybe try another store, or do it over the phone and get them to send you one out?
    I did a full restore – and incidentally discovered that the backup I made before applying the 4.0.2 OS update was not available to restore – I'm guessing it may have been corrupted or something. So I've had to revert to a backup that was saved in June, which is a bit of a pain. Anyway, the restore has changed nothing in terms of connectivity – with 3 bars of 3G signal, no web page will load – I just get the spinner in the status bar at the top of the screen, and eventually a message saying that the server has stopped responding.
    Did you restore to 'new' or tried to the backup? You need to try it to 'new' as this erases all previous settings.
    I restored it to the backup. I guess I need to restore it to new – which is a pain because it means I then have to manually reset any settings for mail accounts, etc.
    You need the restore to 'new' so you have a clean phone, test in internet connection with nothing added and see what happens.
    Personally I don't particularly like the way iTunes backs up. It's probably fine when this are all good, but when testing or trying to fix issues, I find it a bit limited.
    All the Backups on your Mac go to this location;
    /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The issue I have with it is that in the backup folder, some of the files are overwritten each time that a backup occurs, making only the last backup available for restoring.
    Yes, I find that pretty annoying to. I've just lost two months' worth of text message history because of it.
    My work around for this is to copy the complete backup folder then in the copied folder I open the Info.plist file with TextEdit and edit the Device Name string by adding the date. When you then open iTunes and try to restore from backup, multiple backups are displayed.
    You said you copy the entire folder before editing the Info.plist file. I presume you put the copied folder in the same location as the original?
    In the backup folder, there is a folder with a big long alphanumeric name. Make a duplicate of this and leave it in the backup folder, so there is the original folder and copy of original folder. then edit the info file in the duplicate.
    Once done, open itunes without the phone connected and go to iTunes > Preferences > devices and you should see your extra backup appear in the list there.
    When you edit the info file change the following line:
    +<key>Display Name</key>+
    + <string>[robgrayson]’s iPhone 20100511</string>+
    I add a date at the end of the line. This line is then displayed in iTunes as the name of the backup
    I also set iTunes to not automatically sync when the iphone is connected. This give the control back to me of when and how often I backup.
    Yes, I changed this setting yesterday too.
    Do you use Time Machine to back up your Mac? If so, you could restore the backup location on your Mac to before you did the restore and bring back you most recent backup that way.
    Yes, I do use TM – I've been using it for a couple of years but have never actually had to restore anything. Just to be clear, I suppose you mean restore the backup folder from before I did the iOS upgrade, and then restore my phone from that?
    How about this: if I do a restore from new first and see if that makes any improvement, do I then have an option of applying a dated backup (or would I have to go through the whole restore process again in order to do so)?
    Yes, Navigate to the backup folder location, open time machine and restore to yesterday or when ever the last back was.
    Duplicate the backup as above as a precaution.
    Check iTunes recognises it. (make sure iTunes is closed when you are adjusting the backup files.
    Restore to 'new' and check the phone. If it all is OK and working, its probably something in the backup and you don't want it back on your phone, and you will have to manually restore everything.
    So unfortunately, you don't seem to be any closer to resolving the issue. Let us know if you want any more help, or alternately how you go with Apple.
    I may try restoring from a previous backup via Time Machine, as you suggested. (This should also give me back my lost text messages.) There are also rumours that iOS 4.1 will be released today, so I may give that a try first.
    Thanks once again for your very helpful suggestions.
    If I were you, I would try to get the phone working before you worry about 4.1

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! No data connectivity after a while, weird errors

    I am using T-Mobile's regular prepaid web plan and Wi-Fi just fine, no need for BIS, Rich Email, or BBM (SMS and MMS is just fine). All I ever use are apps that SPECIFICALLY state that they work over standard TCP/IP and Wi-Fi. The problem is, after some time, the apps that one worked over regular data connections and MMS don't connect anymore. Even though the apps said that no BIS is needed, they can't access data. Even RIM's own Facebook app, which claims to work over Wi-Fi (and does) loses data connectivity after a day or so without a full reboot. The only thing that works is the BlackBerry Browser, which still connects to the internet. Along with the apps failing to work, MMS messages also can't be sent.
    Rebooting the phone by a battery pull or alt-shift-delete allows the apps and MMS to work, which after a day (sometimes even shorter) stops working again.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    - Checked and made sure that all permissions for data access
    - Checked that my APN settings are correct: epc.tmobile.com
    - Checked my Wi-Fi router for connectivity
    - Called  T-Mobile tech support for help, wiped my phone upon their instruction
    - Reinstalled my apps and contacts, T-Mobile sent me new service books
    Still the SAME THING with apps and MMS not working after a while. I've narrowed it down to entries in the event log that show up as this, which shows up seconds before my apps and MMS stop working:
    a net.rim.hrtRT - PUpI - 9/23 17:06:58
    a net.rim.hrtRT - EPdp 0x3 - 9/23 17:06:58
    a net.rim.tunnel - Clos-blackberry.net - 9/23 17:06:58
    a net.rim.hrtRT - CClG 0x2 - 9/23 17:06:58
    W net.rim.hrtRT - XMax - 9/23 17:06:58
    W net.rim.hrtRT - XBad - 9/23 17:06:58
    E net.rim.mdp - TEma - 9/23 17:06:58
    W net.rim.mdp - TDtm - 9/23 17:06:58
    i net.rim.mdp - TTex - 9/23 17:06:58
     Can any experts or developers tell me what these Warnings and Errors mean? I am pretty sure that whatever "net.rim.mdp" and "net.rim.hrtRT" is doing isn't good.

    anyone care to help???
    Also, on the 18th I wiped my phone again, and three days later (longest time with no mdp error) the same error occurred in the event log, no internet connectivity afterwards on Wi-Fi or Mobile Network...

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
    Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • What can I do simply  to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new  iTunes on my new Mac?

    Friends,
    I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
    Now,  I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
    When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
    But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized  iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
    What can I do just like that, simply  to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new  iTunes on my new Mac?
    Thanks a lot for your answer.
    ([email protected])

    Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
    As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer.

    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

  • Export to PDF from populated c# Dataset without Database connection

    I have Crystal Reports Developer Full version 11.5.12.1838, all versions of Visual Studio and about 100+ reports targeting printed paper.
    They were developed over the last decade with the Developer Designer (and it's predecessors) and are based on SQL Server Stored Procedures. In the past, they were produced at runtime using a MS Access VBA application that either printed them or exported them to PDF files. I have successfully converted that application to C#, however a few problems: despite loading a populated dataset and setting all parameters, the runtime still wants to refresh the dataset. That works for 95% of all reports, but some just use null values for the parameters (despite having set them correctly), others mix the sequence of the parameters (despite querying them correctly) and some don't use the provided credentials. But that is not the main problem.
    Now I need a way to produce (export to PDF) these reports at runtime based on a populated C# Dataset without database connectivity for the Crystal environment. The structure of the data in the Dataset is identical to what the stored procedure return in the development environment.
    The question is: is that possible and what do I need in terms of version, SDK etc. Any advice (sample links) would be much appreciated.

    Hi Ludek;
    Thanks for the hints. After many many hours of research and trial and error here are my findings:
    Assigning a dataset to CR does NOT work - seems CR is just ignoring it completely. What does (partially) work is assigning a DataTable, however, if you try to do that with a main report and more than ONE sub-report, it fails with likely unrelated error messages (not yet implemented).
    I took one of my reports and deleted all sub-reports. Assigned a DataTable at runtime - works fine. Added one sub-report that has a single field (picture) and loaded at runtime with a DataTable. No problem.
    Removed that subreport and added another subreport that has a single text field. All good.
    Now: having both sub-reports and having both subreports loaded from a DataTable fails. It works if one of the datasets is empty. It also works with 2 sub-reports returning text into their single field.
    The DataTables are populated from the exact same stored procedures (and data source) that are embedded in the report from the design (CR XI) - essentially this should be a swap from internal to external fetch with no consequences.
    I tried assigning using subDocument.SetDataSource and subDocument.Databas.Tables[0].SetDataSource  - no difference.
    The background of this: all my reports work just fine using VBA (Access), but that app will be retired and replaced by something C# based. In the meantime, the same report file has to work with both engines.
    If I cannot get the DataTable assignment for sub-reports to work, there is a plan-b type possibility: replacing the stored procedure for some sub-reports at runtime - which works using SubReport.Database.Tables[0].Location.= "newSPName" as long as the new sp has no parameters like the old one.
    The problem is that the new procedure has 2 parameters and I did not find a way to add them to the parameters collection (not allowed in sub-reports)
    Anything that comes to your mind ?
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Thanks

  • Data Connection to MS-SQL using Windows Auth from untrusted machine

    We have an Excel Spreadsheet that uses a Data Connection to a MS-SQL database.  The database server is joined to our domain, and Windows Authentication is enabled.
    Here is a sample of the connection string (with revealing info obfuscated):
    Description=DataConnection;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=10.x.y.z;UID=domain_user;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Office 2010;DATABASE=DatabaseName
    And the Authentication Settings are set to "Windows Authentication"
    This works perfectly fine from a domain-joined / trusted machine.  It doesn't even ask for credentials; it just works flawlessly when I hit Refresh.
    It will work from a non-domain / un-trusted workstation, if I use SQL Authentication.  But we are trying to move away from that.
    Likewise, it will from a non-domain machine using Windows Authentication if I use "runas" to launch Excel with domain credentials, as follows:
    "runas /netonly /user:domain\user %path-to-excel%\excel.exe"
    However, using "runas" is a kludge, and our employees will almost certainly have issues... even if I were to create batch files to help automate it.
    When launching Excel normally (without using "runas") from a non-domain machine, it gives this error when I hit Refresh:
    Upon hitting OK, I have the option to un-check "Use Trusted Connection" and manually enter a user/password.  I put in a valid user that would be able to connect fine from a domain-joined machine, or that worked fine using "runas".
     This is the error it gives with that:
    At this point, I have not a clue what to do to get Excel to successfully connect with domain credentials from a non-domain machine. 
    Ideas?

    Hi ltwally1,
    From your description, you want to connect to non-domain machines using domain credentials. Based on my research, you can use the
    ShellRunAs utility to achieve your requirement , it provides functionality similar to that of RunAs to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry. 
    Reference:
    How to Run Programs as a Domain User from a Non-domain Computer.
    However, if you still encounter issues by using  ShellRunAs utility, you can consider to use the Credential Manager built into Windows. For more details, please review
    this similar
    blog.
    Thanks,

  • Using SQL Server credentials with Secure Store Target Application for Data Connection in Dashboard Designer

    [Using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1]
    I would like to use SQL Server credentials in a Secure Store Target Application, and
    this page makes it look like it's possible but when I attempt to use the new Target Application ID as authentication for a Data Connection in Dashboard Designer, I get a generic "Unable to access data source" with no error logged in SQL Server
    logs.
    I am able to use a Target Application with AD credentials to access the SQL db without a problem. Suggestions?

    Hi,
    1. Make sure that the credential is set to
    Secure Store Target Application. Navigate to the Central Administration. Click on the
    Application Management. Click on the Manage Service Applications. Click on the
    Secure Store Service Application. Select the application ID and from the ECB menu click on the
    Set Credentials. Enter the Credential Owner, Windows User Name and the
    Windows Password.
    2. Make sure that in the Dashboard Designer “Use a stored account” is selected in the “Authentication” and the proper application ID is mentioned.
    Please refer to the link below for more information:
