The USB port has no connection to the BT Vision system, you could use it for charging your phone.

  • How can I connect my iPad to a TV that only has an s-video input available but also has a usb port on the satellite box available.

    I would like to connect my iPad to my older TV but the only inputs available are the s-video input port on the TV itself and there is also a USB input port on the satellite box that feeds the TV. I could also split all the RCA jacks to accomodate another input here. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this problem of mine..............RR.

    There is no s-video cable available for any iPad.
    The USB port on the cable box is for maintenance use only.
    There are RCA cables available:

  • Re activating my old silver Vision box

    Hi everyone,
    I cancelled my BT vision subscription a few months back as thought I would no longer need it.  At that time I was not paying any monthly charge for vision as the package term expired and I only used it as any other freeview + box and paid for films etc as and when I chose (not very often)
    From what I have read the new all singing all dancing black box is actually NO different in spec except the power! My thought then was well why get a new box when my old silver one works fine.  BT said I could use old box and would put me on the 17.99 package.  Now I am currently paying 13.99 so could not quite get why I have to pay more just for them to connect me.  I dont want the option 2 broadband which comes with the package.  I have only ever had option 1 and has been more than ample.  They said they would account for the box in my order but the box is worth £90. Yet My monthly charge goes up! I don't see why I can't just stay on my 13.99 package? Has anyone had a similar experience?
    Also out of curiousity, HDMI socket on my silver box will allow me to watch HD films, never noticed that on back of box previously.  Or do I need to be in a HD area? (sadly i'm not)
    Anyway I have waffled on a bit there but appreciate any comments. 
    Many thanks

    To answer your last question, none of the current Vision boxes can receive Freeview HD, so they are no use for that.
    BT Vision does include a small number of HD programs, and you can use the HDMI to view them in HD on your TV.
    The rest of the time, if you use HDMI, the box simply upscales the SD signal to HD.

  • Silver/Black BT vision box

    We've had our silver vision box for over 2 years now.  I was just wondering, what's the difference?  I noticed the buttons of the box infront is different to the black one though the remote is still the same just in different colour (I think).  Difference with the performance?  Quality? 
    Thanks!

    As mentioned on two other threads this morning already.....I had an engineer visit this morning. You'll be pleased to know that this is the last time I'll mention it.
    Anyway....I said to him that it will be good when BT finally get the HD Freeview box released.
    And he said.....that the old silver box couldn't get HD but, come April, when our transmitter goes digital then I will be able to get HD Freeview on my new black box. Ok, so this goes against my understanding from other threads. But he is an engineer, and he did come in a BT van. So I kind of would expect him to know.....
    Please don't shoot the messenger though. I'm only repeating what he said.......
    Was that a BT Telecoms engineer or a BT Vision engineer.
    If the hardware decoder & firmware is not present in the Black box then it cannot decode HD Freeview.

  • USB Ports on 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 do not work-even after Recovery to "Out-of-Box" state

    Hello - Hoping someone can help with another suggestion- it doesn't look good.
    Both USB ports on my wife's 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 are non-functional with any USB device. Flash drives, wireless mouse, and external hard drive (powered) that all work on all of my other computers, do not work in either of this laptop's USB ports.
    This problem seems to have developed gradually, and became noticeable previously as non-responsiveness in the wireless mouse, which gradually became a concern, with the computer appearing to freeze or lock-up - probably because of the number of times the mouse was clicked on shortcuts and executables before something happened.
    The ports are now completely "dead"- no recognition of anything inserted once the computer is up and running.
    There appears to be a thermal component involved, since I was able to get the devices recognized and working for up to a minute when booting the computer with the devices in the ports after it had been off for several hours after I did the default state recovery. The flash drive and mouse were recognized, drivers loaded message, but they then went to "unplugged" before I could get the cursor moving. I was able to access the flash drive, since I did it as soon as the driver loaded, but then it disappeared ("un-plugged" itself in the driver loaded message box). I can also get them recognized from this COLD boot state when I immediately plug them in once Windows 7 (64) loads, but they quickly disappear. If I wait a few minutes before re-booting, they flash during the Windows boot, but drop-out before it completes. If I wait 3-4 hours to re-boot, they flash (are recognized) for about a minute (Windows completely loads), but then they drop out.
    I tried all of the suggestions on this board (and others) before doing a Recovery to Factory Default state. I have tried it with the original version 1.20 Bios, and with the version 1.50 Bios update. All driver updates have been downloaded and installed. The laptop does occasionally lock-up at the Toshiba screen during boot, and is verrrry slow in some operations (2 hours to do the recovery discs). The only other noticeable problem (at this time) is an occasional drop-out of wireless (Atheros AR9285) connectivity, which I have been blaming on the router since it is sporadic and infrequent (not consistent with the thermal argument). These problems are all after the Factory Default State recovery operation, so my assumption is that they are hardware based.
    Any suggestions for a solution? This is a standard spec Satellite C655-S5049 that I was considering adding another 2GB memory to, but now I am unsure of its' future. A laptop cooler that runs from a USB port seems counter-productive.
    I am technically capable, so you can be much briefer in your response than I have been in trying to fully detail the problems. This isn't the NVidia chip, but it does bring back memories of laptops past.
    Thanks for any help,
    G

    Something has gone wrong - the AppleTV needs to be restored by connecting to a computer running current iTunes version using a microUSB to USB lead.
    AppleTv2 does not require power when doing this.

  • Vision box opens a port - Is this safe?

    Following on from this thread my hub3 had a firmware update in the early hours, it's now 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 (Type A).
    Anyway, when the hub3's came out shields up reported that port 161 was open and flagged this as a bad.
    After the hub firmware update port 161 is now closed, but shields up now reports the port 1024 is open.
    (I don't recall port 1024 being open prior to the hub's firmware update - could someone test and let me know)
    The hub's event log and some testing proves it is the BTVision box, so is this safe?

    I haven't run windoze for a decade and a half, I don't install stuff if I don't know where it's come from, (and can preferably study the source code and recompile if I want to), so I doubt I'm in too much danger.
    I did think about installing a NAT router construcyed from an old PC between the BT Vision box and the homehub just to see what is what sending and where using iptraf logging but haven't got around to it. I did have a little wireless NAT router inserted betwen them which had a log feature but never got around to studying them as the log facility on it wasn't very sophistacted, it lacked 'granularity', (love that word).
    I've always told people they shouldn't rely on their routers for security so maybe I've just been listening to my own advice too long.

    AFAIK none of the VZ boxes (Moto or Cisco) support the USB port.  I know for certain that the Moto boxes don't and if anyone knows different regarding the Cisco boxes please feel free to correct my statement.

    I'd not recommend it on a brand new Mac. That should be considered DOA. See this caution in this article:

  • More than one TV with Vision box using house ring ...

    I wonder if anyone can help
    I have a BTvision box which is connected to one TV using HDMI and want to be able to watch the BTvision output on a different TV from time to time.
    I have tried streaming to another room using a sender but the signal breaks up/ is lost in the wall density.
    Following advice from BT Vision operator I have purchased a Powerline Netricity 85M twin pack adapter to link the proposed system via the ring main but the connection cables supplied are Ethernet. The only connection on these units is for Ethernet.
    The BTvision box has an available USB port. The Hitachi Plasma TV to which I wish to stream the BTvision has an available Scart terminal and HDMI terminal.
    Will the system work if I connect the BTvision box to the Powerline Netricity adapter using a USB to Ethernet cable (item 1) and the Hitachi TV to the second Powerline Netricity adapter using an Ethernet to Scart cable (item 2) or Ethernet to HDMI cable (item 3)?
    If so who can you supply the items 1 and 2, or items 1 and 3 as appropriate?
    Or does anyone know of a different way to connect up the system?

    Yes I live in digital only area.
    So for the avoidance of doubt I need
    1. to buy a universal modulator
    2. connect scart output from BLACK BTVision box to the modulator
    3. connect aerial output from BLACK BTVision box to the modulator
    4. connect, using coaxial cable, the modulator to a splitter (receiving both BT Vision output via modulator and digital coaxial aerial input)*
    The modulator will pass all signals so there is no need for a splitter, it has an loop through connection.
    see http://www.maplin.co.uk/programmable-universal-modulator-33050
    5. connect splitter to the second TV coaxial aerial input socket using coaxial cable*
    *If 4 and 5 not possible would I have to connect using SCART - and if so -  i presume I could just hardwire by SCART direct from Black BTVision box to second TV using 15m SCART cable negating need for a modulator?
    15m of SCART is probably going to be better than using a modulator, which will degrade the signal a bit, as it will have to go via the analogue part of the TV, however I have never tried a SCART lead that long.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

    Remove my ipod from the computer without ejecting it and now the ipod want turn on, it is not being recognized by my computer's usb port or itune.  I have reinstalled itune and still have the same problems.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • USB ports don't work after resuming from standby with Windows 8 on X230 tablet

    I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 on my X230 tablet.  Before installing Windows 8 I installed the most recent BIOS for this machine (version 2.50).  After installing Windows 8 I installed System Update from the Lenovo Website and downloaded all the recommended drivers and other files.  I've also installed all the latest Windows 8 updates.
    Here are the symptoms of my problem: After resuming from standby/sleep mode, my USB ports do not work.  My computer has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports.  All exhibit the same behavior.  After resuming from standby mode I have tried inserting both my mouse and a USB thumbdrive, but neither are recognized.  After restarting Windows, the USB ports work again... until I resume from standby mode again.
    I hope there is a solution to this issue.  It is very frustrating.

    Thanks for the suggestion about tweaking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device" feature.  I un-checked that box for every entry I could find under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in the Devide Manager.  Unfortunately, the same symptoms of my problem persisted.
    I went back and looked at the README file associated with the BIOS 2.50 download on Lenvo's support site.  At the bottom of the file it gives a "Summary of Changes".  Under version 2.03 of the BIOS (the version just before version 2.50), it says:
    - (Fix) Fixed an issue where USB device might not detected when system resume from sleep mode.
    This indicates that Lenovo support was already aware of such issues.  The problem was intended to be fixed in version 2.03 of the BIOS.  However, the issue persists on my machine, even with the latest BIOS.
    Hopefully someone from Lenovo can comment here.
