Scan for new channels

Needing to do a scan for new channels because the programme guide was not working properly, I navigated through the menu system, and eventually arrived at a screen which gave me WRITTEN directions to get to the right place. Which left me thinking: Why not just provide the option to scan? Is not the purpose of a menu system to avoid giving written lists of options to choose? Surely something dysfunctional here?

Yes that is the normal route, but my point is more nuanced than that. The role of a menu system is, or should be, about providing a route to the actual operation needed, not about providing a route to a text document giving a description of a route within the same menu system. Geddit? Oh never mind.

  • Problem scanning for missing channels

    Hi all.
    Trying to scan for missing channels, mainly BBC2, and get as far as 72% - 3 mins reamining and the setup freezes.
    I did contact Baombay Hight St., yesterday, but could hardly understand to bloke. He did tell me to do a couple of things to the box, but I couldn't make him understand that I am disabled and could n't get to the back of the box. I also tried to explain to him that I didn't know when I was going to see anyone who could help, as I live on my own and vary rarey see anyone who could help.
    Any one any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Hi stokkers,
    Does you STB freeze completely ? No response to remote control ?
    A quick suggestion would be to try it again without the network cable connected.
    Let us know if it helps.

  • GX700 Crashes when scanning for TV channels!

    Hi forum.
    I've got a GX700 with TV-tuner. Everything else on the PC is working like a charm, but when scanning for TV-channels in DVBViewer Pro and CyberLink PowerCinema, the PC simply crashes, and a nice blue-screen error message appears. The Scanning always make it to 98 %, without finding a single channel, and then the crash occurs. I'm using Vista 64-bit.

  • OSX 10.9.2 iMac won't scan for new Wifi networks.

    Sometimes I will tether the mac to my cell phone (because roomates hog bandwidth).  The problem is that when I click the Wi-fi icon in the upper-right hand corner, it shows Wifi networks it has found before but it will not scan for new ones (such as the tether I just started).  I have mac laptops and this works just fine on older versions of Mac OsX.  Is there something I'm missing?
    <Edit> I just found that I can open the "Wireless diagnostic tool" and then choose "Utilities" and then ask it to "Wi-fi scan".  It's just hard to believe that something that used to happen with one click is now buried under secret menus and hidden options.

    It's just hard to believe that something that used to happen with one click is now buried under secret menus and hidden options.
    That is not normal because I am running 10.9.3 on my MBP and it is constantly looking for networks. However, mine is a regular router, not a phone. I could be wrong, but I thought I read that cell providers did not support using computers with their cell network as it wasn't meant for "heavy" traffic - not sure if that could have something to do with your problem.

  • Disable scanning for new devices?

    Another new user question: Is there a way to disable the automatic scanning for new devices in Logic Pro 9? At the moment, my system is connected to a KVM (w/USB) switch, and every time I switch to the system running logic, it asks me if I want to use my USB headset, which is on the KVM switch, as an audio device (I don't). It would be nice if I could turn off that function and scan manually when I add a device that I want to use with Logic. Thanks...

    Hi Stephan,
    Not yet.   This is a new feature we added in December to demonstrate during registration that the Service Request automation is working. 
    While these Demo Service Requests are real Service Requests, they are held in a special queue and not routed to TAC engineers. Smart Call Home will automatically close every Demo Service Request after a short time.
    In the next release, we plan to implement a toggle in the Smart Call Home portal so that you can control this feature.
    Feel free to continue registering devices.  Demo SRs are just an additional validation that everything is working.  They shouldn't create any additional work for you or for TAC.

  • MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 not scanning for new WiFi networks

    My late-2013 Macbook Pro w. retina screen is usually connected to my workplace wi-fi network.
    Sometimes I need to disconnect from the usual network and connect to my Samsung S4's personal hotspot network.
    I start the hotspot on the phone and I click on the wi-fi icon on the top bar.
    Since a few weeks, the MacBook appears not to scan for new networks and does not show the phone's hotspot.
    Earlier it used to display a "scanning for networks" message, and in a few seconds the phone hotspot's SSID appeared.
    I am able to connect to the phone's hotspot using a workaround: from the icon, I click network preferences at the bottom of the list.
    From the Network Preferences pane, in the middle, there is a droplist. I shows just the current network (the workplace network). I click the double arrow icon on the right and select "join other network". Then I cancel the popup window. The list now shows all networks around, including my phone's hotspot.
    Is it a common/known issue? Will it be fixed? Thanks in advance

    Apparently, the 10.9.2 update fixed this.
    the "Wi-Fi: Looking for Wi-Fi networks..." is back.

  • Trial Available for New Channels?

    I see that FIOS is adding new channels, that is awesome.
    It would be really good if we can have a trial for some period before subscribing to new channels.
    Is there a possiblity of that?

    Probably not.  The only free previews I have seen were for premium movie channels.  This includes both Verizon and previous cable provider. 
    I believe the reason for this is that Verizon is contractually obligated to pay the content provider for each viewer who has it available, even if they do not watch it.  Premium content providers periodically waive that requirement to gain new subscribers.

  • How can I turn off that Maveriks at iMac is scanning continuously for new devices?

    Hi, I have a iMac (early 2008) updatet to 10.9 Maveriks with Bluetooth mouse, mousepad en keyboard. I listen at home to music with a Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver (with Bluetooth) via my iMac, iPad and android device.
    When I startup or wake up my iMac, Maveriks is always staring to scan for new Bluetooth devices?!. Than every time, my receiver (also when the receiver is turned off) is turning on and change to Bluetooth mode.
    I can't turn off the Bluetooth function at my Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver. With Mountain Lion, I didn't had this problems.
    I want to turn of the continuously scanning procedure after startup or wake up on my iMac.
    My question is:
    How can I turn off that Maveriks is scanning continuously for new devices?
    How can I turn off the detection mode of my iMac?

    Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
    At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature.

  • Aperture 3 causing iMovie 8 to crash, can't complete a scan for movies

    Anyone else having this issue?
    My A3 library works well in other instances
    - works in Media Browser for other programs like Pages and iWeb
    - successfully integrated two different iPhoto Libraries
    So I'm past the basic myriad installation issues, but now cannot use iMovie. And I can't find any way to prevent iMovie from doing an Aperture library scan! So A3 is depriving me from using iMovie 8.0.5.
    Big problem! Anyone finding a workaround or a solution?

    I have the same problem since the day I used Aperture 3. When I open iMovie 09, it scans for new vids and quit unexpectedly. I gone through the crash log and I believe that this might be a result of "lack of memory" or "too many vids". However, I don't really understand why. I have a MBP with 3.06GHz and 8GB of RAM. Anyway, I found out two stupid methods to get around it. FIrst, you can turn of preview in Aperture's preferences before you open iMovie. This would prevent iMovie from scanning/updating the Aperture library. However, the download side is that you can no longer access Aperture photos from anywhere else, like iTunes,iWeb, iWork etc. So, I recommend you to turn if off when you use iMovie only. The second method is to create a new empty Aperture library and switch to that library every time you use iMovie. Then, switch it back to the normal one after using iMovie......
    However, these two methods seems to be a bit silly and are not directly addressing the problem. So, I hope someone can help me.

  • Synchronize Folder - Scan For Metadata Updates

    Can anybody explain to me, what exactly is supposed to happen when I am synchronizing folders and have "Scan for metadata updates" checked?
    What kind of metadata is searched
    (I notice that keywords are not synchronized)
    What action is supposed to be taken
    (write metadata to image, read metadata into catalog, any prompt before updates?)
    The manual isn't really specific about this, and by trying I haven't really found out what to expect.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Beat Gossweiler

    Basically, the folder is scanned for new or changed images. The metadata changes will include new or updated IPTC, Keywords, ratings, labels, develop adjustments, which will have been applied in an external app such as Bridge/Camera Raw. If the folder contains new images these will be identified as such. If an image has been removed from the folder but still remains in the catalog you will be notified and given the choice of removing it.
    Synchronise Folder does NOT save anything back to the actual files. If you have made a change to a file in Lightroom that change will NOT be applied to the actual file when Sync Folder is run. It reads the folder for externally applied changes/additions/omissions and subject to user choice will update the catalog accordingly.

  • 50L2200U toshiba tv scanning for channels

    I followed the directions to scan for channels, and when I pressed the installation button, instead of bringing me to a screen that says "terrestrial" - it takes me to a screen that has a customer service number to call.  My toshiba is no longer under warranty, so they won't help me without me paying.  Does anyone know how to scan for channels- is it normal to have a screen with a phone number come up? What can I do? Thanks  It is a fairly new tv- 2012-2013.

  • Scan for channels frozen

    My box (latest version, 3 weeks old) was fine upto about 6pm. It decided to update itself, don't know why, and it won't get past the Scan for Channels page, gets stuck at 0%. I've done everything. Switched off/on, rebooted, powered down, held ok and down arrow, all that stuff. Doesn't move from 0%. Tried with aerial cable in and out. Any advice before I make the dreaded call to the "help" desk?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    We were watching catch up on Sat evening when the vision box took a turn and froze resulting in no freeview channels.  I then went through all procedures to re scan them but still kept getting 0% complete.  After total frustration I rang the helpline Monday am what a mistake   After 2 hours on the phone to New Delhi 0800 number thank goodness I was still no further than when I 1st dialled having spoken to 4 different people with an approx 20 min wait for each.  They could not explain clearly what we had to do as the English was so poor we could not understand them they also seemed unable to realise that our landline is not near the TV.  Having given my mobile number I managed to get an answerphone message to say they could not contact me fantastic!!  Thank goodness for the comments on the forum how to rectify this problem press the left & bottom arrows on the front of the vision box and disconnect at the back of the box keep pressing buttons when reconnecting and hurrah!!!!!!!!! It worked and I managed to scan in the channels now back working again   Please BT sort out your technical helpline. 

  • How to create a new channel for a role or an organization using API

    Hi all,
    I tryed to create a new channel using the method createChannel(...)+ in the class ContainerProviderContext+ of the package com.sun.portal.providers.context+ and everything is fine. The channel is created under the display profile of the authenticated user who asked for the new channel.

    Hi Juan,
    Yes you can use JDBC adapter to integrate with DB2 but you need to deploy the DB2 drivers.
    Possible options to integrate with DB2 are :
    We can integrate DB2 system with XI using different methods :
    a)For batch mode we can work with standard file adapter of XI
    b)Install MQ Series and use JMS Adaptersto send and receive messages with DB2
    c)Use the JDBC Adapters to directly write to the DB2 Database.These is for
      incoming interfaces
    d) Third Party Adapters provided by iway can also be utilized ,but it requires a separate license

  • HT1178 scan cannot find time capsule for new set up

    I have connected airport time capsule with ethernet cable direct to the computer, but the scan for the new time capsule comes up with nothing.
    Can anyone suggest a way to scan manually when manual scan button is greyed out.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, if you check the Specification page for the System Requirements for the new Time Capsule, it reads like this:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
         or
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/specs/
    So, if you have a new Time Capsule, you will not be able to use 10.6.8 to set it up and administer it.
    If you have an iPhone or iPad handy, that could be used to set up the new Time Capsule.
    If not, then you will need to upgrade your Mac to at least Lion (10.7.5) or higher.

  • Can iPhoto re-scan iPhone for new pics w/o unplugging/replugging iPhone?

    When i plug in my iPhone, iPhoto opens automatically, and I'm able to sync photos.
    Then -- while the phone is plugged in -- say I take some screenshots or save some images from email or safari. How do I get iPhoto to re-scan the iPhone for new images without having to unplug the iPhone and plug it back in?

    You can't.
