Use of old BTVision box in 2nd room now on YouView

Hi,
I have had a YouView box pretty much from launch, and when tidying up cupboards this week found my old BT Vision box (black variety).
I was wondering if I could reuse this box in another room just as a Freeview receiver/recorder so not as a full multiroom subscription.  Would I need to do any software updates to the box first as it hasn't been used for well over 1 year, and if did connect this box temporarily to the network would it throw my YouView box out at all.
Any helpful pointers would be very much appreciated,
Many thanks
Colin

OK....that worked.  I used GIMP to export the picture as a .GIF and it now displays in a test file.  I will export the files in question.  Thanks for your help.  Side note....
Rant on: 
All of the 100 or so .jpgs displayed just fine last Christmas.  Apple screwed somthing up in one of their software "upgrades".  Our house is total Apple BECAUSE it "just works".  No more.  Apple needs to be a **** of a lot more careful or they WILL lose this reputation.  Maps comes to mind... 
Rant off.  Sorry.......

  • 2nd hand sk box for 2nd room help?

    I have been given a 2nd box for a 2nd room i already havr full subscription. My bedroom is already wired i have plugged the box in and am getting all free chanels but not my full package or on demand features.
    How do i pair up my sky viewing card? Do you need to over ride it with my viewig card number or do i need another viewing card?

    For multiroom you need Sky multiroom, and Sky would provide a second viewing card. For activating a card on the other Sky box there is a facility for doing so on the web, just search google for 'activate sky channels'.  Sky cannot be viewed on both boxes without pairing with that box at only onetime, so you'd need to continually pair the card when switching to the other box, with only the 1 viewing card.

  • I was using an old version of photoshop but have now got a new iMac. Which product do I need for web

    bought a new powerful iMac. For my purposes, which product will best suit me?  I have already got a website designed by myself but this needs updating and changing as my business evolves.

    Forgive me, but that's a "Do I need a Porsche to drive to the mall?" question. Without knowing what specifically you do on your web page, we can't advise. Sure, we could tell you to get PS CS6 Extended and have all the options (which you may never use), but jsut as well PSE or Fireworks could suffice....

  • Coming back to sky. Can I still use my old box?

    I cancelled my sky tv around a year ago but I have got it back over the weekend. The man on the phone said because it's been over a year I am treated as a new customer and will have to have an engineer out to fit a new dish and box. But I still use my old box as a free view box, can I just put my new sky card in my old box? Will it work? Seems abit of a waste of time if I get an engineer out just for him to insert the card in.

    The football season starts in less than a week and I was worried that if the engineer hadn't been by then I'd miss out, but I've just had a text message that someone will be coming out on Friday. So everything will be fine.
    I originally phoned up to cancel my broadband as it had ran out and doubled in price. 45 minutes later I had my broadband and telly for half price all in hd. Pretty successful phone call.
    Thanks for the link. Mush appreciated.

  • One btvision box one TV?

    Hi everyone can you help me with this, it`s not really a technical problem directly but would like to know if anyone can advise, I have my TV and vision box in my front room, I don`t have any other TV`s, so I asked bt if I could send my btvision TV channels to my laptop via a slingbox or something, I have seen here on the forum the general terms of how to do it with a slingbox but I am not very savvy with PC`s or laptops and the description alone sent shivers down my spine, the reply from bt was one vision box one TV, and can not use a sling box to laptop, so does this mean that I have to buy another TV and vision box for every room in the house? And if yes why show how to forward btvision on here, I have already paid out £100 for an aerial which I was not told about but to be fair that was my fault for not asking, I have the gold package on bt. Anyone know anything about this.
    Thanks

    The Slingbox method does work quite well, and allows you to view and control your BT Vision box output anywhere where there is a broadband Internet connection. Its really the only solution if you want to use a laptop or other computer to view content.
    I have the original Slingbox classic, which works very well, and I have even watched output from my BT Vision box while on holiday. Its quite useful if you have forgotten to set up a recording.
    The Slingplayer software even replicates the BT Vision remote controller.
    The picture quality depends on the connection speed, I think the latest Slingboxes allow better performance.
    If you simply want to add another TV, then a TV Video sender is another option.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • I installed the latest version of Firefox and it opens to google. I would like to use my old Sbcyahoo home page as the default page. How do I change

    I installed the latest version of Firefox. The home page is now a google search box. I would like to use my old sbcyahoo desktop with its icons. I am unable to make the change.

    Oops. I could have been more clear, sorry.
    TOOLS > OPTIONS > GENERAL tab
    Under Start-up at the top of GENERAL, you have an option to type in the url or use the tabs to set your homepage to the current page.
    Go to your chosen site, open OPTIONS and click 'Use current page.'
    Sorry for the shorthand version previously. I blame the cat.

  • Can I use an old AEBS as a range extender?

    All I want to do is get it working so that my TV and BR Player can have internet access for firmware updates (and in the case of the TV, program and other software updates) so it doesnt matter if its going to be a bit slower than the rest of the network.  I'm currently using the current model AEBS in another room in the house, and really dont particularly want to have ethernet cables draped down the corridors.  I did plug in the old one (2003 vintage IIRC, its the one with the built in dialup modem: A1034) but my MBP could not see it to set up... ?need older airport utility?
    Anyway, it may be its not worth bothering, maybe better to just get an aiport express... or something over powerline... its just that I already have the older AEBS, and hoped to put it to good use.
    All advice and recommendations gratefully received

    Unfortunately, that older AEBS will not do what you want....even if you manage to find it in AirPort Utility.
    A "new" Express could be configured to "extend" a wireless network to provide more wireless coverage and both Ethernet ports would be available for Ethernet devices.....since the Express is configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup. If you need more ports, you can add an Ethernet switch.
    But then, you might be up to the price of a new AEBS....which could also be configured to "extend" and you would have 4 Ethernet ports available.
    Powerline could work as well. Hard to say...since the performance of EOP devices varies tremendously. This is one of those times when you won't know if something will work until you try....so it would be wise to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
    iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

  • How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

    I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud.  Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
    How can I get this email address set up in icloud? 

    Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
    So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
    When MobileMe was live
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]
    AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
    When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
    iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
    iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
    iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
    MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
    Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
    Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
    When MM died
    I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
    iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
    Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
    System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
    Then ticked the untick Mail box
    Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
    System Preference - Mail...  Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
    Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
    So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside).  Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

  • Can't use my old HDD after upgrading with new one,old is GPT protected

    Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you in advance!
    Recently I upgraded my old HDD on my MacBookPro. I made a clone of the old disk, installed the new one in the MBP and putted the old one in external enclosure. Now I'm trying to use the old disk with the enclosure, but it doesn't appear in Finder, it appears in Disk Tools, but I can not perform any actions on it. I tried to erase it, but with no success! The old disk is GPT protected and I don't know what to do. Tried to erase it with Windows and Linux with no success neither. I know the enclosure works because it recognize every other disk, but my old one is untouchable to my Mac OS! I'm looking for possible ideas on how to make my old HDD usable with the enclosure?

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • Can I use my old accessories for a 40GB (4G) iPod with new 160GB iPod Classic?

    I just purchased a 160GB (7G) iPod Classic. I had been using a 40GB (4G) iPod.
    The male connectors on  the accessories I used with my 40GB iPod seem to fit into the female connector on my new 160 GB. So, I am wondering if I can use these old accessories with my new 160GB iPod Classic. The old accessories I used with my 40GB (4G) iPod are as follows.
    1) Wall charger made by Apple. It has a firewire connection at one end of the charger cord which connects to  the small white plastic box of the charger that plugs into the wall. The other end of the charger cord seems to fit my iPod 160GB Classic.
    2) Dock made by Apple. It uses a firewire connection cord to my computer, in contrast to the USB connection cord that came with my 160GB iPod Classic.
    3) Car chargers that worked with my old 40GB, 4G  iPod. The car charger connectors seems to fit my new 160GB iPod Classic. One car charger is made by Apple. The other is not made by Apple.
    So, could you please tell me if I can use any or all of these old accessories with my new 160GB Classic without damaging it.
    Thanks.

    No.

  • Upgrading from OSX 10.4.9 to OSX 10.6.8 on old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer)

    Greetings
    I was wondering what the steps and cautions are to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 on an old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer for shared use in household for emails, etc.) 2.33 Inel Core 2 Duo to OSX 10.6.8 or highest that I can?

    You will need to get a 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disk which I don't think are still available from Apple.
    Google "buy mac 10.6 snow leopard" to get an idea of current pricing. You'll need updates to10.6.8  in order to upgrade to 10.7 (the early core duo MBPros can not do this) or possibly 10.8 but check the exclusion list to be sure.
    MacTracker can give you all the details.  http://mactracker.ca/

  • Problem using the File Dialog Box in a Client/Server application

    I am developping a client-server application using Labview 5.1 . The application on the server acquires data from some instruments and saves it on file, while the application on the clients displayes such acquired data. For doing this I call some routines on the server via the "Open Application vi" (remote connection). All goes well except when I open on the server the "File Dialog Box vi" : in this case the application on the clients is blocked (is blocked the execution of the called vi on the server). Only when
    the File Dialog Box on the server is closed, the execution of the called vi on the server starts again.
    I need to use the File Dialog Box on the server, but I don' t want to stop at the same time
    the clients !!
    I need help for resolving such problem.
    Many thanks in advance !!!

    A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
    Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
    2 linus:
    I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
    cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...
