The FIOS Channel Listings need to be rearranged.

When I first got FIOS over a year ago, there were slightly less channels, and the channels that were here were well organized by the group of 10 they were in. For example, the 50s are for major entertainment channels. The 70s to 90s are for Sports. It's logical.
But since then, Verizon have seemed to add channels at random. In the 190s, you have both Chiller and FearNET... as wel as E!... as well as the TV Guide Network, FuelTV, and ABCFamily. None of those are related. A ton of these channels need to be rearranged. Why is Sleuth inbetween Bravo and Logo? The 180s are as follows:
180 - Syfy
181 - A&E
182 - CRIME
183 - truTV
184 - GSN
185 - Bravo
186 - Sleuth
187 - LOGO
188 - Ovation
189 - BBC America
There is a logic to that. A&E, CRIME, and truTV should be togther, for example. But Syfy does not belong here. BBC America does not either, although it fits in well with 190 and 191, so I assume you could make that argument, though it breaks the channel listing logic.
The 460s and up don't make any sense to me. I don't even remember I have them. It's a random collection of channels that seem like they belong before the 50s, and are instead dumped at the end of the lineup. At the VERY LEAST, they should be before the PPV Channels, and not after. There's a bunch of PBS channels here, which is bizarre since there are a bunch of PBS channels in the <50s. And while I know you can't fit them in there because of all the Local Channels, it is confusing to me, as well as seemingly hiding the channels from me.
In addition to that, what is with the HD Channels? Some of them don't match their non-HD channel listing number. The Disney Channel is 250, for the non-HD version. For some reason, it is 780 in the HD version. It should be 750.
There are many areas where I would like to see improvement in simple things such as that. It's a much easier thing to fix than adding all the HD Channels I'd want

The only way i can see to do this, is to select your audio track in the timeline and export using Quicktime conversion/ "format" AIFF, check in options that it is set to mono. Save the file and import into Audition. It works for me although I have Soundbooth not Audition.
Good luck.

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.

Does a wireless printer need to be on the TC network or can it remain on the FIOS router network

I have a verizon FIOS router with one wireless network...connected to it are 3 laptops, 2 HP wireless printers and numerous things like TV's, wii and Apple TV...when I set up a new TC and use it as my router for my Macbook Pro will I be able to print to the printers if I leave them on the FIOS network?..I of course will have the TC connected to the FIOS router via a ethernet cable. Its a pain to reset up all the numerous devices to a new network. Since the TC is connected to the FIOS router is it safe to assume something connect to the TC is also connected to the FIOS wireless network??

yes we got sidetracked into the extending thing..I don't want to do that I want to do what you mentioned latter..2 different networks I was planing on leaving my TV's, blueray, WII on the FIOS network but connect the laptops to the TC N network..and I'm now sure I'll have to set up the wireless printers on the TC network or the laptops wont see them..
So I will do as you mentioned in another post and:
Here is how to hook up your Time Capsule to the FIOS router:
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the FIOS router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the Time Capsule.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure your Time Capsule.
Page 1 will ask you to assign a name and device password for the Time Capsule
Page 2 you want to choose the option to Create a wireless network
Page 3 will ask you choose a name for the wireless network and a password
Page 4 you want to select the Bridge Mode option
Page 5 select Configure IPv4 using DHCP. Leave everything else blank
Click Update to save your settings and the Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds and you should have a green light.
You can now log on to the Time Capsule wireless network by locating the name of the network and entering the wireless network password.
It is possible that having two routers in close proximity both producing a wireless network may introduce wireless interference effects between the two networks. If you experience this, you will need to turn off the wireless on the FIOS router.

I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets. Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router. I currently have a Verizon FiOS router. I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV. However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box. No HD, no DVR. Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand. Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
Not sure what you are asking here. The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area. But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

Why do we need to assign ip for the D channel ISDN-PRI

Why do we need to assign ip address to the D channel (signaling ) when we configure ISDN-PRI in the example below :

<quote>
Step 1:Specify the D channel of the first Primary Rate Interface (PRI):

Step 2: Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface:
AS01(config-if)# ip address 172.16.254.253

You can assing one there, and / or on dialer interfaces. It depends on what you are doing.
These will be the address used by PPP when it runs on the B-channels.

Incoming outdoor FIOS line/cable - needs remounting/hanging - too close to the lawn

My incoming outdoor FIOS line/cable is very close to the backyard lawn - about 4 ft above the ground. It needs remounting/hanging. I just need Verizon to send someone to fix this problem but its Website is not user friendly to submit such a request. It asks me to go thru a series of unrelated self asked auto answered questions but still does not bring me to what I want. Is there a direct and quick way to file a service request?

That is a GO-95 violation. All wiring must be 8 feet above ground. This is a PUC violation. Call Verizon back and ask to talk with the PUC rep within Verizon near your closest Business Office. Sounds like a contractor may have done it and not an actual Verizon Employee......

Very Basic, need to copy right channel to the left channel.

My first time in this forum, i checked the FAQ and did a small search.
I sent a stereo mix from FCP as an 'Audio File Project' (not multitrack) to Soundtrack Pro. I want to copy the left channel to the right channel (replacing the right channel) so both channels have the same signal.
I've worked in many audio programs and it seems Soundtrack Pro just doesn't have the universal workflows as most (wavlab, audition, pro tools). When working with Stereo files I can't figure out how to isolate one channel at a time.
Thanks for your time!
Monty

Under the process menu you find Convert to Mono, the dialog that follows lets you choose which channel to use (or to combine them).
What's maybe confusing you is that the process creates a single file, instead of what you're expecting - a stereo file with identical information left and right.
In STP (and I'm sure in FCP as well) if you place a mono file on a track (pan it to the middle) and then export, the file it will produce will be a 2 channel mono file. So you just need to take another step to get where you want.

I need check the range channel in cFp-2120 in file Configuration Programmble

how check the range channel cFP-2120 Programmble to check if the range change or not

Hi,
The range of the channels is not going to change after you configure the task. However, you can programmatically set the range with the Configure Range.VI. This is located in Measurement I/O >> FieldPoint >> Advanced >> Ethernet Advanced. I hope that you find this information helpful.

LG blu ray players to stream FIOS channels wireless

I am looking to try using a wireless LG blu ray player to stream some channels from FIOS instead of having to purchase additional cable boxes for some bedroom TVs. I can not find the technical requirements I need in a device to get this to work. Is FIOS DLNA compatible? Has anyone found a wireless blu ray player that has had experience with streaming channels from Verizon as is advertised on their website?

The first link contains support information for LG streaming devices. At the bottom of the page it shows the two currently supported Blu Ray players. You would need to do your own evaluations in regards to the wireles. But right now I have for example, Redbox Instant Beta loaded in my Iphone and it streams Via 3G or Wifi.
The Redbox Beta list of players is not final, as the service is being tested.
Not the same as a BD player, but my X box is streaming those 75 channels with an ethernet cable, and I have not tried it with wireless.
Samsung information is also available from Verizon.
I hope this information is helpful. They may not show it but here are Verizon's listed devices that can download the app from the app stores.

New to the WRT300N - Firmware & help needed

Hi. First off, I apologize that this is going to be very long. I really hope someone will take the time to read it all and give me some help.
I posted about a week ago about problems with my WRT54GS. All of a sudden with no changes, the wireless stopped working. I tried for a few days to fix it with no luck. I decided to order the WRT300N (I figured if I was going to buy a new one, I'd upgrade and this is the one that Linksys recommended).
I should mention that after ordering the new router, the wireless on the old one started working again but it wasn't working normal. The signal quality had always pretty much been excellent and now it started going up & down but at least it was staying connected.
The new router came today. I disconnected the old one and connected the new one and everything went smoothly. Both my wired & wireless computers worked great. Less than an hour later, the wireless disconnected. I went to view available networks and my network (I use our last name) was gone. I shut off the laptop and it still didn't see the network. So I started looking at the router settings just to be sure that nothing had changed. About 15 minutes later, the laptop found the network and connected again. The signal quality dropped to good and has stayed there ever since.
Just for information, when the laptop is on the desk (which it is 90% of the time), it's only about 5 feet away from the router. I have not tried to take the laptop out of the room yet. Also more information if it helps. I have a large "U" shaped desk. My monitor for my desktop sits in the middle. On either side are the speakers. To my left (in front of me) is a UPS (plugged into this UPS is the tower, monitor, speakers, cradle for my mouse, modem & router), then the tower (I can't put it on the floor because I have physical issues that would prevent me from accessing it there). Now if I turn my chair to the left, the desk has an upper level. This is where my DSL modem & the router are. They are on the end near where the computer is on the lower level. This is the same setup we were using before. Old router worked great for almost 2 years with signal strength at excellant on the laptop. It just started acting up all of a sudden. If I go back to facing center and then turn to the right, that's where my husband's laptop sits. The only other equipment there is a calculator and a lamp and on the floor is another UPS which has his laptop (which has an Intel wireless G card in it), a laser printer, and the above mentioned calculator & lamp plugged in.
Prior to today, I had the Logitech MX3100 keyboard & mouse set. I had purchased a new mouse (Logitech MX Revolution). So I was using the keyboard from the MX3100 with the new mouse and everything was fine running that way for weeks before the problem kicked in. So I don't think it's got anything to do with the mouse. Today's setup is a little different. I am no longer using the MX3100 keyboard. I am using Logitech DiNovo Edge, which uses a bluetooth dongle. I also don't think it's any interference from this keyboard since this is a pre-existing problem.
I do have a cordless phone in the room (it's on the left hand side of the desk from where I sit at the opposite end from the modem & router...also it's one of those that doesn't need a phone line)but it's a 5.8 ghz.
The old router had the option to change the channel, etc. This one has auto for standard channel & wide channel & there's no way to change it that I can see. Radio band is also set to auto but does have 2 choices under it (standard & wide). As I said before, I use our last name for our SSID. It's the same one I've been using for years. There is no one else around here with that SSID. Network mode is mixed.
Concerning the firmware....the information for mine is WRT300N V1.1 firmware v1.51.2. I tried to look for an update but the only one in the list is the WRT300N V1.0. I did click on that but the firmware version is lower and I don't want to screw anything up. Is there a firmware update for me or not? If so, please point me in the right direction as I can't find it.
Concerning the signal strength....would it help to buy a new wireless card for the laptop? The Intel card has been updated with the newest software. The card is internal and to my knowledge can only be replaced with the same card or a bluetooth card. (Computer is a Dell XPS M140.) I do have a card slot but I'm confused because I think Dell called it an Express Card slot and I don't know whether or not the Linksys notebook card that is recommended for this router would work in this slot. If the card would work, is it worth the expense?
What else can I try. I thought about moving the router furthur to the left but it would require moving a few other items and I'm not sure if the cords are long enough. Would it help if the router & modem were not plugged into the same UPS? I do have a regular surge protecter near where my phone is. I would really rather leave them plugged into the UPS though for obvious reasons.
Also if it helps, I have the router on it's side with the 2 antennas on the end pointing straight up and the flat one in the middle I have angled this way.
I hope I have given enough information for some suggestions.
Thanks,
Lisa

Thanks for the response. I was wondering if anyone would take the time to read such a long post. I wanted to be sure to try to give as much information as possible.
My desktop (Dell XPS400) tower is made out of metal...but the router is actually not sitting on it. There is a shelf to the left of my tower (when I'm facing it, otherwise it's to the right of it). That's where the modem & router sit. The shelf sits about 3" over from the edge of the computer and it's about 7" above it.
As far as the wireless card for my husband's laptop...I'm still thinking about it. I'm wondering if there would be any improvement in speed or the quality of the connection with the N card.
Now I just went into the router's settings and tried to make the changes you suggested. I was able to change the radio band from auto to wide BUT once I do that, I loose the ability to leave the wide channel & standard channels on auto. The options for the wide channel are 3-9 and the standard are 1 & 5. I don't know which ones are best to pick so for now I'm not changing anything. I didn't change the advanced settings either as I wasn't sure if I could do that without changing the other settings first.
My husband has noted that he does see the quality of the connection occasionally jump to excellant. For the most part it's staying on good in here. We haven't brought it out into the living room yet to see what it does out there. He hasn't needed to. He has had it disconnect on him a couple of times as well.
I did forgot to mention in that book I wrote that we do live in an apartment building. We are on the 1st floor in the back of the building. Our office is between our living room & another bedroom. There is an apartment above us. There is another apartment on the other side of the other bedroom. Our bathroom is across the hall from this room, other side of that is the kitchen and then there is an apartment in the front of the building. Our front door is off the living room, a hallway seperates our apartment from another one. There are 4 apartments on each floor. Laundry (directly under us) & storage in basement.
I give all these details to try to get the best help. I don't know if all this extra info is helpful or not. We have been using Linksys routers for quite a few years now. This is our 3rd one and our 2nd wireless one. We have been in this apartment for a year now and had no trouble until a few weeks ago. Previously lived in another apartment of the same floor plan in the same complex but on the 3rd floor (boy did we hate walking up those stairs!) with no trouble.
Looking forward to hearing back from you so I can try to make the changes you suggested.
Thanks,
Lisa

I have a wiring plan, but I am not sure if its covered by the FIOS installation.

I have only ordered FIOS Internet but I am thinking about getting FIOS TV soon.
I want to install the Actiontec router next to my TV, so when I get the FIOS TV, I won't have to run a long wire between the router and the box. Also, it will be very close to the ONT (about 4-6 feet). However, my desktop is in another room, and I will need a CAT5 wire installed between my computer and the router. Will that be covered in the installation?
If you can think of another workaround, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi american5abi,
When you get Fios TV service installed, the Actiontec router will be connected to your TV box through the coax in your house. If you have a working coax jack in the same room as your computer, then you would not need any extra cables run from the router to the TV. If not, then the tech can run a coax cable to the room with the computer from a coax splitter to provide that connection.
Connecting the router in the room with the computer should end up being a lot easier then having it next to the TV and running CAT5 to your computer.

How to use the same channel to send a file and messages to the server

I'm trying to develop a simple program that will send and receive files from the server and in the same time I need to communicate with the server through the messages
I'm using TCP Socket
my problem is
I have only one channel
so, I have no option, either I can use it for sending the file itself or sending the message .. but not both !
my question is : How can I use the same channel for sending and receiving (file & message)
I would appreciate for any clue or hint

bestThe other end would of course need to decode the messages that you get, and only write the "data" part to the file.Thanks
I'm gonna try to hard-code what you suggest and i will post what happen with me here
even though I'm not sure how can I add header to a binary file and remove it from the file at other end. (coz I read it as stream and send as array without touching its contents)
this how I'm sending the file
ConnSocket = CSocket.accept();

ToClient.flush();
myFileInStream.close();best

How can I see the alpha channel in the channels palette?

Hello, mi format plugin loads a rgba image. I see it with transparency, that's ok, but when I go to the channels tab I only see 4 items (RGB, Red, Green and Blue).
How can I see the alpha channel of my file in the channel tab?
Thanks!

OK, something must be wrong... but I don't find it!
That's my whole code (resumed). I ommit some code (saving file code (not used) or main function, where I only call te "DoSomething" functions. You can see that I use layers. The DoReadContinue function is only used to show the preview.
In the DoReadStart function I set the parameters for the layers (and the preview), and I fill the "data" and "layerName" params in the DoReadLayerContinue function. I hope you can understand the code!

And that's the image that I obtain loading a 8 layer image:
The layers have transparency (when I set "transparencyPlane" to -1, or 0, or 1, or 2, or 3, or 4....., I got the same result!). The blending mode is still "normal". I had set it to "linear dodge" The "isVisible" param works OK.
Alpha 1 is still black.
Is possible that I need to set something in the .r file? I had to add "FormatLayerSupport { doesSupportFormatLayers }," to manage layers, for instance.

The FIOS Channel Listings need to be rearranged.
