Use Coax for Local OTA digital channels.

I'm new to FIOS. But I remember Comcast allows basic local OTA channels using the COAX cable even when I was only a Internet Customer. I was wondering if Verizon was the same way? I'm only a Interet customer, no TV service. I basically want to split the coax, one to TV to get local channels and the other to the Router. Is this possible. I'm not at home right now otherwise I would of tried it already.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA

Yes, you can split the coax as needed and you can put the router on any coax tap.
I don't believe FiOS provides any TV channels when you don't subscribe to TV.
The difference is cable sends the same TV channel package to every house with access control managed by the set-tops. Unencrypted channels are available to all as there is no easy way to block them.
FiOS, on the other hand, generates the coax signal in the ONT. It is trivial for Verizon to enable and disable TV service by adjusting the ONT.
If you want local channels and don't want to pay for them you should consider an antenna.
Good Luck.

Network question. Use coax for ethernet?

I heard there's a way to use an existing coaxial cable for an ethernet connection? I have my iMac in our converted garage out back of the main house, and the airport/. internet connection inside the main house. I have them communicate wirelessly now and it's fine, but drops out now and then and I wanted to hook it up by wire.
There's a coax cable laid between the two houses, but no room/facility for adding an ethernet cable, easily anyway. I was told you can get adapaters to use the coax for this purpose. I looked around online and there's a variety of things available, from simple adapaters for $10 or $20, to complex boxes that cost a hundred to several hundred. Anybody know if this is possible, and if it is, what kind of adapter I need?

Coax ("10base2') was the second-generation Ethernet connection technique. (The first was "thicknet"; the third "twisted pair" - "10baseT"). Do a Google search for "10base2".

Using FIOS for non-HD Digital TV

We just had Fios TV service installed. We have a digital TV, a nice Sony, but it is not HD, so I ordered the standard definition Set-top box. When the technician was here, I asked him if he thought we would get a better picture if I ordered the HD STB. He said he did not think the HD box would work with my TV, so I dropped the subject. But once I saw the Fios picture, I was somewhat disappointed. It did not look as bright and sharp as over-the-air through my TV's digital tuner. Also, the picture was in fullscreen mode, never in the letterbox mode that you often see when watching Tv over-the-air. (The technician hooked up the STB to my Tv with an RF antenna connection, which surprised me. After he left, I switched it to the S-Video connection, to get the best picture we could.)
I read the user manual for the two set-top boxes, on the VZ wire site. It looks to me as if the HD STB can be set to 480i resolution, which is standard definition. My TV has component inputs for 480i, and the HD STB has component video outputs. So that is why I thought I could use the HD STB even though the VZ literature says you must have an HD TV to use the HD service.
So (1) am I correct that the HD STB can work with my TV, at 480i?
and (2) if I did get the HD STB, would the picture in fact be noticeably better with the 480i output on the component connections than via the S-video cord I am now using? Or not.
Anyone else do this before?
thanks!

The answer is that it depends upon how you plan to connect the TV, and how good the video electronic in the TV are..
Your TV has 480i component input available. It certainly can provide a much better picture. I have my HD-DVR connected to an SD TV that has a 480i input. Can I see the difference between an SD and HD channel? No question about it. Why your tech didn't offer to hook it up that way is beyond me.
I will point out that the default component output on the HD boxes is 1080p, so you need to make sure you set the HD STB to 480i output. That should work from the front panel of the HD box, on the DVR boxes, it is actually available from the on-screen menu( and may also be from the HD STB, but since I only have an HD DVR, I don't know for sure), but you need to be able to display the on-screen menu, so don't disconnect you S-Video cable until you are sure the output has been set to 480i.
Here is how it breaks down:
With over the air (via tuner on ch3/4), you will get somewhere between 260 and 330 line resolution, depending upon how good (or bad) the comb filter , video source and tuner are. OF the available choices (4), this is the one with the worst picture.
Too many steps in generating the picture, converting it to NTSC, modulating the carrier, tuning the signal, coupled with channel bandwidth restrictions to limit the picture quality.
Composite video can provide up to 330 lines if the comb filter (and source) is good enough. Without the comb filter, about 260 lines. With high end TV's you tend to get comb filters that can get pretty close to 330 line. No modulation of demodulation of a carrier involved. Fewer steps better picture
S-Video input can provide up to 400 line resolution, depending upon the quality of the source, and how good the video electronics are in TV. (in S-Video mode the comb filter isn't involved, the Chromiance and Luminance signals are already split out at the S-Video source (in fact they may never have been combined in the first place). Fewer steps still...
480i provides 480 line resolution.
Is it as a good as 720p or 1080i? No
However on an SD STB the best you can hope for is 400line via S-Video, and of course none of the HD only channels are available on the SD STB.
With an HD STB, you can expect to get 480 lines, which beats 260-400 everytime.

Using Coax for PCs via Westell (FiOS)

Normal FiOS setup, coax from ONT to Westell 9xxx for WAN. Wifi and Cat5 for PCs. Got a room where I can't easily get a Cat5 cable and wifi is too far away, but it has a unused Coax connection in the room connected to the splitter. Anyone or Anyway to put a PC on Coax to Cat 5 adapter and it pick up DHCP and other services because it is connected to the Coax Spliter. If the STBs and router are getting services connected to that splitter seems like a PC would also.
Thoughts?
Jim

Sure you can. I have been using an old Motorola NIM-100 for several years to get wired internet service to the other end of our house. Verizon originally provided the NIM with FiOS TV installations to get the internet path onto the coax, way back before they had routers that would do that.
If you are not familiar with the NIM-100, here is a link to one currently on sale on eBay (I am not advocating you buy one this way, just pointing you to a place where you can see what it is):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Motorola+NIM100
I believe that Actiontec now has a product that will do the same thing. If you search here on the forums I think you will find some threads that discuss this.
Another option would be a pair of powerline adapters to convert one of the ethernet ports on the router to put the signal on your electrical wiring in the house, and another to convert it back to an ethernet cable connection. I have never tried this, no need for it, but I have seen posts from people who are using this and it works, and I have seen them advertised for about $50.
Good luck.

Upgrading BB10 OS Using Sachesi for an OTA-like Update

This is a "how to" for upgrading your OS using Sachesi tool. If you are wanting to update your device OS but your carrier hasn't yet released the update for your device there are a couple of options. You can use an autoloader that wipes all data and reloads the OS to your device fresh. With this method you need to restore your backup or start over fresh. The easier method is to manually install the update files. This method can be used if the OS has been released by another carrier. Since the OS's are not written for specific carriers, an OS from any carrier for a given model can be used. Here's how to do it. Don't worry, it looks harder than it really is.
This method installs all of the the updated OS files over the top of the old OS, leaving all your data and settings in tact. There is no need to restore a backup file when it's done.
Caution: Before starting, I recommend making a backup of the device just in case anything goes wrong. Follow the instructions in KB33526 to make a backup of your device. You won't need it but better safe than sorry should anything go wrong.
1. Download Sachesi. This is the small PC app that you will use to download the update files and then install to the device. Save it to a folder somewhere you can easily find (desktop usually works good.) Your browser may automatically put it wherever your default download location is. It will go where any other download goes.
If the current version of Sachesi (v1.2.3) gives problems or errors in Windows you can download an earlier version (v1.2.1) here.
2. If you don't already know it, determine your BB device model by going to Settings >About >General. Scroll down to Model number. Make a note of the model number. (i.e. STL100-3, STA100-4, etc.)
3. Connect your device and double-click on Sachesi.exe. It will open to the "Search" tab. In the search tab you will need to enter the country, carrier, device, and variant codes to get the proper download. If your device is connected you should also see your device model show as connected. Enter the following based on your device model:
The list below is currently for OS 10.2.1.3247 (10.2.1.2977.) I will attempt to keep the thread up to date with new country and carrier codes for future OS versions.
If your device is a Z10 STL100-1 use:
Country: 260
Carrier: 03
Device: Z10
Variant: STL100-1
If your device is a Z10 STL100-2, -3, or -4 use:
Country: 260
Carrier: 03
Device: Z10
Variant: STL100-2
If your device is a Z30 (All variants) use:
Country: 260
Carrier: 02
Device: Z30
Variant: STA100-2
If your device is a Q5/Q10 (All variants) use:
Country: 260
Carrier: 03
Device: Q10
Variant: SQN100-3
If your device is a Z3 (All models) use:
Country: 510
Carrier: 01
Device: Z3
Variant: STJ100-1
4. Once you enter the data for your device model you will see a box open up that says "Update 10.2.1.3247 available!" Click the "Download All" button. Sachesi will download all the bar files for the update and place them in a folder named "10.2.1.3247." (Remember: the model and/or variant you enter to get the update may not match your device exactly but if you follow the list above you'll get the right OS for your model as certain OS's are interchangeable between devices)
5. When it's done downloading all 154 files make sure your device is plugged in with the USB cable. On the "Search" tab screen you should see your device connected.
6. Once connected click the "Install" tab. (if your device requires a password enter it here.)
7. Drag the entire OS folder labeled 10.2.1.3247 and drop it into the box. The update will start immediately when you drop it so be ready.
That's it! The update will take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on how many files are updated in the new OS. The process can sometimes appear to stall but just let it go and don't interrupt it. You should see a progress bar on the screen of the device, and Sachesi will show you it's progress, as well.
When it's done it will reboot. It will take longer than normal to reboot so keep the device plugged in or you can disconnect from the computer and plug into a regular charger. Once booted up, the device will be a bit laggy for an hour or so as everything syncs. You may want to keep it plugged into the charger while this goes on as the syncing is battery intensive.
JC Tip: If you don't have it already be sure to load the app called Snap for installing Android applications directly to your device. One of the new features of OS 10.2.1 is the ability to directly install Android apps. You simply download the Snap bar file and drag and drop it into the Sachesi Install box as you did above to install it to the device. Detailed instructions for installing Snap can be found here.

Yeah, I went ahead and reloaded my carriers OS back on my phone. The Q10 update was more worse than the leak to me. Menus would freeze up and not respond to my tft, my contacts were all screwed up, I missed calls and weren't notified til after the call was made and voicemail had appeared. Just nothing worked. At least with the 1055 leak, only prob I had was after a while my phone would not play any form of sound unless restarted. I done waited this long. I think I can keep waiting. I hope when my carrier release their OTA that it works better than my experience with these leaks/updates.I have this same OS on my Q10 and haven't experienced any issues. It is the best OS released to date. Waiting for your carrier isn't going to change anything. Something f else must have been going on.

Export using Compressor for DTV setting (7 channel audio)

I am trying to export a FCP project using Compressor - I have 8 channels of audio - to make up L, R, C, FLE, Ls, Rs,Lt, Rt. I am exporting ProRes 422 HQ with the SMTP DTV Audio setting. At the end of the export, I have been dragging the file into soundtrack to check the audio output, and there is only info on the first two channels of the 8-channel audio track.
The sequence settings are set as discrete channels. What am I missing?

And then, you feel like an eejit when you realize that you forgot to assign the channels in the timeline....

[SOLVED] using squid for local cache and configuring firefox

Hi, I have just installed squid following the instructions at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Squid and can run squidclient to retrieve webpages. The headers include
X-Cache: HIT from localhost.localdomain
X-Cache-Lookup: HIT from localhost.localdomain:3128
which I take to mean the cache is working? Next I want firefox to use the proxy, but changing the settings in Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Network/Settings to localhost or 127.0.0.1 and 3128 doesn't work. Firefox can't see the proxy for some reason. I have set
http_access allow all
in the conf for now. How do I get firefox to use squid?
TIA

When I use MAx to test a digital channel, what circuitry is internal to the SCB-68 or the PCI-6023E such that when I con

nect a 5V power supply to DGND and intermittantly touch the currnt supply to DIO1 no change occurs, yet if I leave a variable power supply connected to it and change the Dc voltage from 0 to 5 the digital state changes when I cross the 1.5+ Volt threshold?

nect a 5V power supply to DGND and intermittantly touch the currnt supply to DIO1 no change occurs, yet if I leave a variable power supply connected to it and change the Dc voltage from 0 to 5 the digital state changes when I cross the 1.5+ Volt threshold?The digital lines of the 6023E are TTL logic lines meant to handle voltages. You can consider a digital input to be high impedance, basically accepting little or no current. This would explain why your current supply doesn't cause a change in the digital state. The signal must reach TTL logic levels in order to trigger a change in the digital state.
TTL logic specifies the low voltage range (0) to be between 0V - 0.8V, and the high voltage range (1) to be between 2V -5V. Anything not in these ranges, for instance 1.5V, will give you an unpredictable result.

Lightweight webserver for local testing only ?

Hi all
I use eclipse for web development and want to view my pages for local testing before uploading til www.
Are there any http servers available for this purpose only ? I've looked at the LAMP article in the wiki and I've tried XAMPP before, but it seems somewhat bloated if the only purpose is to see if my php-pages are correctly displayed :-/
And then there is the security issues!
Anyone have good experiences ?
I want to use:
- php
- MySql
- phpmyadmin
The best solution would be if eclipse has this setup built-in, but I can't seem to find a proper solution :-/

Well going on what I personally know works, I recommend apache.
But I've heard nothing but great things about lighttpd, and would definitely recommend looking into it as it's a much lighter solution.
As far as security goes, you should be fine if you take the proper precautions. And if you're only using it for local tests, you can use the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files in conjunction with apache/lighttpd configs and iptables to make sure only your local intranet can access the webserver.

App for local news cast will load then black out returning me to home page of ipad. Worked fine until 2 days ago. Any ideals?

Now,when I choose the app it looks as if it is loading then it blacks out and takes me back to the ipad screen where I chose the selection. I have uninstalled and reistalled app same problem. Any ideals? This app works on my iphone and by daughters ipod.
Thanks

I also have the same problem with my downloaded apps not opening any more, simply closing immediately after I try to open them.
It seems this only happens to downloaded apps, not the built-in ones.
I have been advised to remove all my apps and reload, but I fear loosing my data.
I tried the 2 diff kinds of shutdown/reboots, but did not help.

Start by looking around the examples that ship with LabVIEW (if you are
using LabVIEW).
Also look around zone.ni.com for general data acquisition information &

Use airport for internet and ethernet for local?

Hi. Ive searched around and cant find an answer for this.
I have a 27" imac connected to my router and all works fine for accessing the internet.
I have several other devices close by that I want to connect via ethernet. If i connect the imac to another router via ethernet I can browse my local devices but loose internet connectivity. It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected. I don't want my second router to act as a bridge as it doesn't support N speeds.
Essentially, I want the imac to use airport for internet and the ethernet port for local files.... The only workaround I have is to unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the imac when i want to use the internet. I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue, but cant seem to resolve it.
I do not need internet connectivity for the other devices and don't see how i can do that without enabling the wireless side of my second router and then creating a bridge...
Any suggestions?

It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected.
The Connection Order on your iMac is set so that if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", the iMac will give priority to the Ethernet connection.
If you want to configure your iMac so that it gives priority to an AirPort connection if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", give this a try:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
Click on the small gear icon at the bottom of the connection list on the left
Click on Set Service Order and drag AirPort to the top of the connection order list
Click OK, then click Apply
Now, if both AirPort and Ethernet are active, your iMac will give priority to the AirPort connection. If you want to connect using Ethernet, you will have to turn AirPort off by clicking the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your computer screen.

Can I use the Galaxy in Germany if it's "unlocked" with a local SIM (for local rates)?

Can I use this phone in Germany with a *local* SIM card for local rates if I get Verizon to unlock it or do I have to wait for the ever-elusive upgrade for this to be possible?
I have been with Verizon since 2006, my original HTC Incredible has been eligible for an upgrade since April, and I was planning to stay with Verizon since I'm overall happy with the service. However, this uncertainty about being able to use the phone globally (and specifically in Germany) with local SIM cards has me considering other carriers for the first time, who have not crippled their phones in this way. In particular AT&T I guess. I don't understand why Verizon would choose to limit their phone like this.
I would like to stay with Verizon, but I'm not going to wait indefinitely for a required update -- unless someone authoritative can tell me that I am able to use this phone with a local SIM card with local rates in German right now. That would make me very happy .. otherwise, I guess it's time to check out the Galaxy on the other carriers.
ps: I have searched the web, and this forum for related posting w/o the answer for this specific question about unlock helping with Germany.

Hmm .. thanks for the info, I was afraid of that .. I'v really been wanting to upgrade my phone for a few months now ... and the S III seems like the best phone right now, but not without that feature. I would rather stick with Verizon though but I am looking at the other carriers because of this.
Also just found out that FM radio isn't available on the North American versions of the phone .. too bad, my DInc has it, and it helps limit data usage (and presumably uses less power than streaming, plus not all stations stream). It's not a required feature for me, but it was a nice option to have..

Is this possible and yes where I can make this setting?

Hi Paul Annotee
In T.Code: OB22 you can maintain another parallel currency say HARD Currency (40), and make this as identical to your local reporting currency... for this new currency you can maintain a different Exchange Rate Type
