Problems with premium channels added

I've been having nothing but problems trying to add channels to my package. I went online yesterday & saw they were doing the 50% off for 12 months promo for their different movie packages and I went ahead and added the Showtime/Starz for $8.50/month. It never came on last night. I called and was told that my local center is probably closed & that it would work in the morning. This morning it still didn't work so I called the # given to me last night (1-888-978-2176) which got me nowhere. I was told my acct# is invalid and that I'm not even eligible for Fios in my area (which I've had for a year & a half.) After getting my address wrong several times, I was told I'd need to be called back (which I still haven't been.)
I then called 1-800-VERIZON and was told he didn't see anything about me adding these channels. I asked if he could go ahead and add them for me then and he said he could but it would be $9.99. I stated how it was $8.50 online and he said maybe it was an online promo and that he couldn't give it to me. I was then told that I could have Showtime OR Starz but not both. I told him that when you go to upgrade online Showtime/Starz for $8.49/month was clearly an option to which he really didn't seem to care and said that's not available in my area and I'd pretty much have to get each one seperately.
Sorry, part of this is to vent due to my frustration but another part is to see if this sounds right since I feel like I get a different story/response everytime I call customer service. I really wanted Showtime/Starz but I told him if this was the case to just sign me up for Showtime. Also if this is actually the case, that package should be removed from the options on the website. I also should've been notified that my online order had been cancelled.

I have the opposite problem - premium channels keep getting added without my permission or intention. I have a 4-yr-old son and I think he is playing with the remote while I'm at work. Apparently the FIOS STB will let you subscribe to any premium channels just by clicking a few buttons. So far I have had HBO and the Playboy channel and some Chinese channel (nobody speaks Chinese here) and something else.
I switched over from Comcast to Verizon's double-play last month, and now I'm really starting to regret it. It has been nothing but a headache, from adapters that don't work to this.

Problem with scanning channels

We are trying to use BB 1.2 with a PCI-1200 card and the NI-DAQ that is included on the BB1.2 CD.
The real problem comes when the program is opened and we've configured the channels to have more than one channel scanning and the others disconnected. (The following does not occur with only one connected channel.) The first sign of troubles comes after calibration when we try to change the vertical scale. The software gives the same number for max and min (usually 25 one channel and 0 on the other). When I attempt to change these, the computer gives two consecutive errors: the first saying that the max cannot be greater than 25 (for example) and the second saying that the min cannot be less than 25 (always the same number as the max).
I've only gone as far as to try the scale for two channels.
Accepting the unacceptable settings on the vertical scale, I press the go button. At this point, I get Error -10007 (my old LabVIEW nemisis). If I select only one channel on the scan list, this does not happen. I should note that I have had this problem with the PCI-1200 on two different computers. One brand new Dell and one that already has a PCI-6034E installed. I cannot cause the error with the 6034E, which tells
me that it cannot be my computer settings. (If I acquire a few seconds of data with the 6034E, press stop, select the other card in the Channels window, and press GO, the same old problems arise.) When I use the test panels in MAX, the channels all work fine.

Problems with conference calls(adding and merging calls) after upgrade to ios 8.1.2 on iphone 5s

I am having weird problem intermittently with adding calls or merging them or swapping them. The issue happens 8 out of 10 times whenever I try to do a conference call. This issue came up after I upgraded to 8,1.2. Never experienced this in 8.1.1 or previous version.
Some of the scenarios that I have experienced is:
1. While on the call, when I try to add a new contact, it just doesn't dial the second number.
2. Sometimes the second number gets dialed, cannot merge the calls.
3. After talking to the second person, cannot go back to the first call.
I am very sure that this is not a carrier issue as it worked flawlessly before upgrade.
Anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the above infromation. I did a complete restore of my iphone through iTunes connecting it to my computer via cable. iOS8.1.3 was re-installed. I then added back my settings and data which were backed up prior to restoring the phone. I still have the same issue with conferencing and adding a third caller. When I hit the [+] box, the existing caller is not put on hold. The phone appears to be making a call but it is not dialing to the 3rd party. Shortly thereafter, the Merge icon appears but there is no active call to merge with. I have tried this several times using my wife's iPhone and our home phone to set up a 3-way call. I know it is not working because the 3rd phone (our home phone) does not ring. Is this a hardware problem? My wife's iPhone 6 works with no problem and was purchased the same time I purchased my iPhone 6. Probably time for a visit to the Apple Store unless there is another solution.

Problem with fibre channel card and raid system after upgrading to 10.4.7

Hello, I have a problem with our Xserve G4 DP. After the installation of 10.4.7 everything works fine exept our fibre channel card. This card is connected to a Hitachi Raid System which worked fine over a year. But after the update the volume was no longer mounted. I even reinstalled the server to 10.4.4 and no sign of our raid volume. Using the apple fibre channel utiltiy 2.0, I see that there is a connection - but still the raid volume is not mounted. When I restart the server the lights on the back of the card are shortly flickering and sending some packets to the raid system but that´s all. Has anybody an idea?
Greetings from Heidelberg

You could re-update, by downloading the 10.4.7 Combination Updater from Apple.

Problem with Folio Builder - added articles are "spinning"

Hello,
today we are experiencing strange problems with Folio Builder. We are adding new artcles to folio created today and all added articles have same issue - spinning wheel in folio builder. Such articles we can't see in Content viewer until we delete existing folio.
Thanks for help

Hi,
Could be that there was a network problem when uploading the InDesign documents.
Try to select the articles and delete them with the trashcan. And then reupload the documents from InDesign.
Good luck!

Question: Quick Look in Finder; problems with alpha channels

Hi
"Quick look" in Finder is great for quick presentations of a folders selected contents but it only works with images that contains no alpha channels or masks. Is there any way to work around this to display say PhotoShop documents with alpha channels? Or any plug-ins/applications that can help?
thanks.

This has been broken forever in OS X, and I don't know why, because it used to work just fine. I suspect the engineers did something to QuickTime that causes this problem, but it has been borked for so long I don't remember when the ability to correctly display files went wrong. I just remember that once upon a time all sorts of things from Apple worked correctly in displaying such files, but pretty much nothing does now. This includes the Finder, Preview, QuickLook, and various third-party image browsers that use Apple's own system level image handling abilities, such as VitaminSee or CocoaViewX. When I need to actually see what's there, I browse with Adobe's Bridge.

Problem with layer nodes adding brightness

Hi all,
I've having an interesting problem: When I add a layer node of the same piece of video - copy and paste to a multilayer or over node for rotoscoping - and go to look at it in the viewer, the image looks extremely washed out. It's like Shake is trying to blend the two images, and combine the color values. The resulting composite looks awful.
Has anyone had a problem similar to this? If so, how did you go about fixing it. I can't seem to find the preference files, and I couldn't find anything at apple's site.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I looked at the autoalpha and clicked it, but the image still is brightened...I
I guess it might also help to explain a little of what I'm doing and how the problem is occuring. I'm creating a storm/tornado scene. My node tree has two copies of the background plate: one for a luma key for the sky removal and the other for the rotoscoped areas in the ground affected by the luma key(road, grass). The tornado and cloud cover are out of Lightwave and rendered with alpha channels.
When I fileIn the clouds and start my multilayer node, everything works great; but when I add the second plate that has the rotoscoped ground, that's when the image doubles in brightness.
It almost appears as though the multilayer node is multiplying the color values, rather than letting me create my composite. The same occurs using any of the Layer Nodes.
I exported my background plate from FCP as an TIFF image sequence for use with Syntheyes. I had thought to export a quicktime file as my background plate to see if Shake just doesn't like the TIFFs from FCP.
I appreciate the thoughts...maybe this info will help.

Question:
The first time you took the board in did they replace it on the spot or did you have to wait for a few days?
If I may ask where did you purchase the board?
they tested it, bought it online so it took some days for the package to go and return. They also tested the board.
Quote from: Alex.Ethuba on 06-August-09, 02:27:46
When did you buy the board?
Bought it last month, and the board is new I think because I forgot to return the bracket(got one in the replacement) and the box isn't teared like the one I turned in ...

Problem with spot channels when importing PSD into AI CS3

tried the Windows forum, and adobe tech support in The Netherlands. Hopefully someone here can help.
b Problem description:
I make spot colour separations of full colour artwork by using the index separation method in Photoshop. This creates several spot color channels in my PSD file.
Normally I just place this PSD file in Illustrator CS2, and when I embed the file Illustrator makes objects of the spot channels. I can change the colors of these objects and delete them etc.
Now with Illustrator CS3 when I import and embed a PSD file it just creates one object called "Spot Color Image". I can no longer adjust or delete separate spot channels.
Maybe there is another way to achieving this but I cannot find it myself. Without this method Illustrator CS3 has become useless for me.

Hi again, I did the same, and I see what you mean. The original image is an image, the channels are separate objects for me, but the original image isn't different channels.
I found this in the Help file:
Spot colors (up to 31 spot channels per file) import as a single N‑Channel raster image, which is placed over the process color image. The spot colors are added to the swatches panel as custom colors with the same name as in Photoshop. Imported spot colors separate correctly.
Will think some more. Not sure what to suggest. Someone must have an answer to help you.

Problem with BAPI_PO_CHANGE in adding services

Hello,
I have a problem in using BAPI_PO_CHANGE in adding new services for an existing po_item . I fill the table POITEM, POITEMX. Then I fill the POACCOUNT and POACCOUNTX table. Lastly I fill the table POSERVICES, POSRVACCESSVALUES. After running it with commit step. I get as return:
The purchase order .... was updated. But if I look at my purchase order with trans. me23n, there was nothing added. Thus, I do not know what I forget. So it will be great, if someone can provide an example in correct filling the table.
In Table POSERVICES I add for the field PCKG_NO the value : 0000000001, is this correct? because I will add new services positions.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Kind regards,
Erkan

Hello Anuradha,
yes, I used the BAPI Commit command but it did not work.
Kind regards,

Will Homeplugs work with 'Premium' channels ?

Though this subject deserves it's own thread as I suspect a lot of customers currently connect their vision boxes via homeplugs rather than direct wired by Ethernet cable.
I have the Sky Sports channels + ESPN currently & Infinity. I was recently sent a HH3 to replace my existing hub & today received a letter saying that from late April 'your favourite Premium TV channels' will come through Infinity rather than via aerial. It advised that for me this would be ESPN & SS1 & 2 plus I'll also get 4 standard HD channels.
I'm to call 0800 328 3588 so that BT can check I have the right equipment - which the FAQs on the letter suggest is a cable to direct wire hub to Vision box. Tried that but after hanging on for 45 mins gave up.
With the hub diagonally opposite the TV & Vision box and with wooden flooring, there's no way I could connect hub to box via a cable. Couldn't get that past the Finance Controller ('err indoors !) even if I wanted to...
As I can get iPlayer to work fine with HD programs I'm thinking that although BT don't officially support the use of homeplugs - that they will probably work fine? In the same way I guess that Sky say you must have your box connected to a phone line, but you don't have to.
I'd be interested to know if anybody has tested this yet?
If not, I guess I'll be doing so by the end of April - if it works, great. Otherwise regrettably, I'll be (grudgingly) off to Sky.

Interesting topic. I have aiired my views elsewhere on another topic re adaptors. However since having multichannel on 25/02 I have tried ethernet and adaptors. Both worked fine but having 20meters of cable trailing from upstairs (Hub) to downstairs ( Tele) is a no go and I revereted to adaptors which worked well unti 04/03. My wiring was changed in 1995 so is compariitavely new. Spoken to BT technical help desk and was performing various tests for about 11/2 hours as I am missing about 16 channels on BB. This includes BBC1 HD and BBC HD and numerous others including ESPN although I can receive ITV HD and C4 HD - this is with both cable and adaptors. I am at a loss to understand what has gone wrong as BT technical cannot come up with a solution. Having received the full quota of channels in the first place why have some dissapeared?
Hope this doesn't bore you all but does anybody out there have a solution? I am on Infinity 2 with an average speed of 71m.
Thanks.

Fuji X-trans problem with blue channel (clipping)

One member on Dpreview forum reported this problem:
Lightroom 4.4 bug with new X-Trans handling algorithms. It looks like the blue channel is clipping in some instances, severely distorting handling of highlights. Here's an example
http://i.imgur.com/IyXI7C5.jpg
Link to raw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37346336/1275.raf

One might expect an Export function is single-threaded so the number of files exported wouldn’t matter, but perhaps if you are very close to the limit, memory fragmentation comes into play, where LR is requiring contiguous blocks and there aren’t any big enough. It’s probably time to upgrade to a 64-bit Windows system and start getting used to the Metro interface which isn’t bad as long as your frequently-used programs have tiles on the first screen.
Go to Help / System Info… and see how much memory LR has available. On my 32-bit system with 4GB of RAM installed LR only has 716.8MB available which is typical for 32-bit Windows applications:
Built-in memory: 3327.0 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 716.8 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 160.5 MB (22.3%)
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 160.8 MB
Memory cache size: 33.2 MB
You could change your VM settings to allocate a multi-gigabyte minimum pagefile size to see if it makes any difference, in case LR is waiting on the VMM to allocate more and then gives up, but I’d expect LR is requiring actual RAM for processing images, not VM which is much , much slower.

Problem with dual channel memory (B75MA-P45)

Hello,
I can't make the dual channel memory working.
When I put DDR3 in slots 2 + 4 or slots 1 + 3 and even if all slots are installed with the same DIMM, it does not boot and restart in loop.
Currently, this mobo works with DDR3 in slots 1 + 2 (so without dual channel).
I have read posts about bent pins, therefore I inspected the CPU seating but nothing seems wrong.
My CPU has been recovered from a HP pavilion ; don't know whether it's important or not.
Hope someone has a tip for me.
My configuration:
Motherboard: B75MA-P45
CPU: i5-2320
Memory: tried several, finally tested 4 x 4GB Kingston PC3-10600 CL9 240 (KVR13N9S8/4)
Graphic card: Palit GeForce GTX-750 Ti

Thanks for your answers.
I'll try asap slots 3 & 4.
It's almost a new build (one month ago). The whole story is:
I bought the motherboard and two memory sticks of 2 and 4 GB DDR3 as I already had similar ones on my HP pavilion (but not exactly the same, not same brand). I expected to run on 12 GB dual channel memory. But the dual channel did not work at first try. After some additionnal testing, I tought it was because the sticks aren't compatible ones with others. So I purchased 3 sticks of Kingston 4 GB, exactly the same reference as one I already have.
Now, I'm pretty sure that this problem isn't related to memory sticks.
I already did a clear CMOS during installation for other reason but it didn't solve this problem.
Since, this PC works well with Win7. I tested it under considerable stress and it runs just fine.

I am not familiar with the different software that you mentioned but as a
first step I would check compatibility which is done as below:
Get original operating system CD that was used to install Windows XP on the
machine in your post. When Windows XP is inserted into CD ROM drive it
normally will ask you to conduct compatibility check for the current
installation. See what it says.

Speaker problem with t420i and adding a new graphics card question

I bought a t420i about a month ago and noticed that the speakers could not properly handle muliple sounds at once. What happens is that, say in a music video, the music plays loud and clear, but once the lyrics start the background music fades a bit to about 85% of it's original volume. I had returned the laptop because of this problem but the replacement I got has the SAME exact problem.
In case im not clear, try this example. You know the beeping noise you get when you press an incompatible set of keys? ( like g, h, and b). When I have this noise going simultaneously with a song, the song's sound fades a bit.
This does not happen with headphones, therefore i believe the problem is with the way the speakers are programmed.
Also, if I bought a t420 with just integrated graphics, could I still add a new graphics card? Or can you only add a new graphics card to a thinkpad that initially comes with discrete graphics?

I think the main purpose of the nvs4200m is the ability to use three displays (internal + 2 external). Additionally, nVidia has better driver support for games so even though it is around the same speed, the drivers are better.
The shared ram is still used, unless you disable the HD3000 in the BIOS and run with only the nvs4200m at all times.
When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.
