Two FIOS boxes in the same room, remote issues

I have two cable boxes in my living room to enjoy the football season. my only problem is that all fios boxes have the saem remote settings.
Does any one know a way to get the two boxes working separately for under 100 bucks?

I really doubt that the original poster is monitoring this discussion any more, so I will answer your question. Yes you can have as many boxes as there are inputs on the TV. Each box can output in most of the input formats of any TV. Rf output is not available on some units. For example, my rec room TV has 2 HDMI, 1 component, and 3 composite video inputs. I could have 6 boxes attached, at least. One more, if I had a cable box with an RF output.
Now my question: Why would you do that?
I once used two DVRs on one TV because I wanted to record more than 2 channels at once and have them available to that TV. If all you want is a way to swap channels quickly, buy a remote with programmable macro buttons and program them to the channels you will be watching. you can buy such a remote for under $20. Or if you only need two channels, just use the Back button with one STB to toggle back and forth.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

Can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, ar there any issues i should be aware of?

can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?

I was in a hotel a few month a ago. The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in. Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work. (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV. Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough. It was very easy.
(Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

Using two boxes at the same time

before the update i was using two boxes at home one for the kids and one for me after the update i can only use one box is this right

2 boxes on the new software work better than on the classic software. The only problems you will have is if you have the Multicast, the system does not seem very keen on the idea of having 2 multicast boxes on the same account. You can avoid this problem by declining the software update on the second box.

Two incoming streams to the same FMS box?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out whether or not it's possible to have two incoming streams to the same FMS server. Every time I try to search this information, I find stuff on having multiple outgoing streams, but nothing on multiple incoming streams.
The two streams will have the same content, but will use different video / audio codecs, and be set to different resolutions / bitrates.
I don't want to spend the money on another server, so it'd be great to know if FMS can do this. Thanks.

Thanks for the response, JayCharles!
I have another FMS question that's related, so I will ask it here...
Is it possible to convert a single video stream coming into Flash Media Server into two separate video streams in different formats?
To be more specific: If I have a video stream coming into Flash Media Server at a high-resolution / bitrate encoded in H.264, is it possible to, on the Flash Media Server, convert that stream into a lower resolution / bitrate VP6 stream on-the-fly, and have the server output both streams simultaneously?
Thanks again.

Can I have 2 HD DVRs in the same room, and control them separately?

New FIOS TV being installed in two weeks, making the switch from Dish Network.
If I have two DVRs in the ame room, and two remotes, can the remotes be set up to work with each DVR separately, or will one remote cause both DVRs to respond? WIth my Dish Network DVRs, I can set a remote code for each - can I do the same with the two DVRs I'll be receiving?
Thanks!

Replace one of your Verizon DVRs with a TiVo. I've had a Verizon 6416 and a TiVoHD with an upgraded 500GB hard disk for about two years now. I prefer the TiVo especially the program guide information.
The TiVo doesn't do Video-on-Demand, but you would still have the Verizon DVR for that.
Since you can control multiple TiVos from a single remote in the same room, you could add a second TiVo if you needed three DVRs.

As it seems that all the shows I want to watch are on at the same time, having two DVRs (4 tuners) would resolve the "what to record" problem I keep running into. The fact that you can control two TiVo DVRs with one remote is a great plus. However, how did you hook both of your DVRs to one set?

What's the fastest way to share files live between 2 Macs in the same room?

Please can I have some advice on this scenario?
I'll need to share HD video footage between 2 new Mac Pros in the same room. 1 Mac will be used to upload the footage and the other to edit it using FCP. The footage can be stored either on hard drives in the edit machine or on desktop hard drives connected to the edit machine (or if there is a better option I'm open to advice).
What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Fastest way? a fiber channel SAN connecting the two machines to a common fiber-channel based storage array. Can't beat it for performance, but it comes at a cost (think $20K as a starting point, depending on the amount of storage you need).
Simplest way? Some external media (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.) that you shuffle between the two machines
Intermediate: a NAS-based storage box on your network, although be aware that real-time editing of HD video can overwhelm many low-end NAS boxes.

How do I set up two email address on the same account?

Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
Is there a way?
Thanks for any help.

After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
Thanks again for all the inputs.

How do i sync two different ipads to the same computer, but maintain two seperate list of apps?

How can I sync two seperate ipads to the same computer without the apps from one ipad being loaded on the other?

Do this for each device. You can do this with all iTunes content as well. Apps, music, photos, books, movies - everything. You can have unique content on all of your devices.
You may also want to turn off auto sync so that you do not have to wait for the iPad to sync and then go back and make these changes.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom.... Prevent iPods, iPhones ....
Then set up your sync preferences like this using Apps as the example.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to that iPad
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You may want to uncheck Automatically Sync New Apps under the Sync Apps list

How Can I create a cluster of two instances running on the same server?

Hello,
I can't find how to create a cluster or even a failover rule for my two instances running on the same server ODSEE 11gR1.
Could you please help?
Thanks,

Hello,
Clustering (intended as Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster, etc... ) IS NOT SUPPORTED since 7.0:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20295_01/pdf/821-1216.pdf [page 20]
and, based on my own experience, is the WORST way of achieving high availability of an LDAP Directory Service and an almost GRANTED way to get replication issues in your topology (lock, split, re-init, etc...).
Please use instead the 'application-level' clustering that you get out of the box with the Multi-Master Replication.

WiFi (WLAN) problem - in the same room a iOS 5 device connects, iOS 6 not

Hi all,
I won't say that it's a proof for the iOS 6 WiFi/WLAN problem. BUT, it's evident that my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 sees all WLAN-networks and connects - my new iPad with iOS 6 doesn't! And I'm using the two devices in the same room. In addition my new iPad didn't have connection problems before updating to iOS 6.
Apple Software Engineers - please help and release the next update to fix it
Best regards

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

My macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.

my macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it. I have reset the ipad settings, etc. Any ideas?

Try a restart of your entire system. Shut down both your modem and your router if they are two separate devices. Then restart each item one at a time with about three minutes between each device.
Also reset the iPad by pressing and holding the Start and Home keys together, ignoring there'd slider until the Apple logo appears.

Server 2012 Failover cluster. Make two VMs stay on the same node

We have a unique situation where i need two machines to stay on the same node. Its a 4 node cluster with 30+ resources but i want to make sure two boxes are ALWAYS on the same now. If one migrates to another node the second needs to follow. Is there
a way to do this?

How an this KB help to stay the two vm's on the same node.
With all do respect @justinv how could this helped you to your problem , your question was "We have a unique situation where i need two machines to stay on the same node. Its a 4 node cluster with 30+ resources but i want to make sure two boxes are ALWAYS
on the same now"
and the KB that elden showed you is for : "Failover clusters that are running inside of virtual machines (sometimes referred to as “guest clusters”) may have problems with nodes joining the cluster."
@justinv cloud you tell us more about this did I misunderstand your question ?
Greetings, Robert Smit Follow me @clustermvp http://robertsmit.wordpress.com/ “Please click "Vote As Helpful" if it is helpful for you and Proposed As Answer” Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you
I explained in one of my replies that my underlying issue was this exactly what the KB fixed..... A guest cluster failing when moved to different nodes. Thats the only reason why i wanted them on the same node to begin with. While this post didn't solve me
original question is solved what my real problem was....

Two Flex app on the same web page + BlazeDS

Hi,
On our welcome page, we have two small apps that display advertisement; they are both identical and use BlazeDS. When the welcome pas shows, I always have one of the app that receives this fault :
[RPC Fault faultString="Detected duplicate HTTP-based FlexSessions, generally due to the remote host disabling session cookies. Session cookies must be enabled to manage the client connection correctly." faultCode="Server.Processing.DuplicateSessionDetected" faultDetail="null"]
I feel the problem comes from the fact that two apps from the same page access the same service at the same time. Am I wrong?

Hi. I believe you are right. Using a HTTP sniffer such as Charles to look at the HTTP headers would tell us exactly what is happening but I think we can assume that you are in the ballpark.
If the server gets a request with no session cookie header, I think it will create a new session and then send a Set-Cookie header on the response with the new session id. It is likely that if both your apps are making their initial requests to the server at roughly the same time that neither of the requests has a session cookie header. In that case the server is probably creating two sessions, one for each request and that is likely causing problems.
While I haven't tested this particular scenario, I have been doing some testing around session cookie handling in BlazeDS recently. I would see if you can workaround this problem by already having a HTTP session established with the server before either of your apps runs. One way to do this would be by having a jsp page redirect to your welcome page. The call to the jsp page would cause a session to get created on the server. The server would return a Set-Cookie header with the new session id. The browser would then request the welcome page sending a session cookie header on the request. Your apps would load. Each app would make its initial request to the server only this time the requests would contain a session cookie header for the same valid HTTP session. . . and you would avoid getting duplicate session detected errors. . . at least that's I hope would happen.
If I have some free time I will try running through this scenario (having two small apps on the same page) and report back.
Hope that helps.
-Alex
