Using BTvision box abroad

I am currently living in France so while away the long lonely evening I pre recorded good old Brit telly on my Vision box, filled to its max of over 100 hours.
But now as it is not connected to a phone line it does not work
What am I to do as now getting serious soap, x factor and get me out of here, withdrawal symptoms.
Have tried a few things to only get NR01 and BE01 error codes
Can the box still be used to watch all the pre recorded stuff?
Is it something to do with the V1or V2 firmware?
Is there a secret key code combination involving pushing various buttons whilst having one trouser leg rolled up?
Will affect the warranty if I throw it out of the 3rd floor window onto 3 feet of snow?
Note that I am still a fully paid up member of BT vision

You could try the TV media players, though they may restrict the service to the UK so you might need to use a proxy server. Never tried it myself but could be worth a go.
Throwing the box out of the window might affect the warranty. But if recent reports on this forum are anything to go by it's unlikely to affect performance!

    How to use check box in flash 8?

    If you want it to happen when someone clicks the checkbox, then you need to add a listener for that event.
    var cbListener:Object = new Object();
    cbListener.click = function (evt:Object) {
        if (cb.selected) {
              gotoAndStop(2);
    cb.addEventListener("click", cbListener);
    (Note: "cb" and "cbListener" are names that were made up for this example.  They could be anything you want to name them)

  • Using check boxes appear as a "tick" and I want a "X"

    Hi guys - new user to Adobe Forms (MAC Adobe Acrobat XI) - I have used check boxes in my first form however when I check them they appear as a "tick" and I want a "X" - I went to the properties section and tried all the options (circle, etc) but it always came back as a tick - any suggestions?

    Thanks George - whilst I've used Dropbox for a couple of years now this is the first time I have shared a file (which you should have received directly to your email - I'm sorry to say I wasn't sure how to post the link in this forum! (once again a bit clueless on my part)
    Interesting however since I tested the process by sending to my work PC (WIN7) and the boxs have crosses in them! so the problem appears to be with my set up on my home mac (OSX 10.9.4). Really I should have thought to do this first before asking!
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers

  • How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

    How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel? 
    All suggestions welcome. 

    If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

  • How to use input box LOV in query panel (search region)

    Hi,
    We are having JDeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0
    In one of the JSF page, we are showing some data (absences).
    Requirement is to add search region at the top so that user can filter the data, based on search parameters like Business Group, Job etc.
    The search parameters are inter-dependent e.g. Job is dependent on Business Group. So when user selects some particular Business Group, Job search field should show jobs for that Business Group only.
    This works fine we use Choice List for both Business Group and Job.
    However since there are huge number of jobs, Job choice list makes page rendering very slow.
    So we tried to use Input box with LOV for Job.
    But now when job is selected in the LOV popup and returned to main page, job search field shows job id instead of job name.
    Please note that our base VO (AbsencesVO) contains JobId attribute. We have added List of Values on JobId, which fetches Job Name through JobVO1 view accessor.
    How to make Job LOV field show selected Job Name instead of ID? Kindly advise.
    Thanks,
    Vivek

    Thanks Timo/Bangaram, for prompt replies
    Timo, the link mentioned by you talks about showing IDs (DepartmentId, ManagerId etc.) in the search region. I need to show names in the form of Input box LOV.
    Bangaram, as per your suggestion I tried using transient JobName attribute. However now when I select any value in the Job LOV popup and return to main page, it shows first Job Name in the Job Name search field.
    Also when I click 'Search' button in Search panel, it shows error - Attempt to set a parameter name that does not occur in the SQL: BindJobName
    Please note that I have added both JobName and JobId in the List configuration as you suggested.
    In View criteria, I have removed previous item (condition) on JobId and added condition on JobName.(This is required because JobId condition shows JobId search field)
    I also tried making JobName dependent on JobId..still same behaviour.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks,
    Vivek

  • Using Combo box at the backend

    Hi,
    I am using combo box at the backend to filter rows to a particular destination.
    The problem is the labels are going to populate at the runtime and the selection of item in combo box is also going to populate at the run time. I have an icon which inserts eg: country in a cell, then this cells is used by combo box as a item selection(label) to filter rows from source. But unfortunately the comb box is not selecting any value i.e no item is selected dynamically. But if i manually drill down it is working but the label is not changing dynamically based on the changes in label by icon.
    For eg my data:
    Country and profit populate at run time
    Country          Profit
    India               5000
    Germany        4000
    Now i have icon which selects country (hard coded in excel) upon clicking the mouse on it and inserts in A1 suppose the value hardcoded is "India". Now this A1 is used as a "selected item" for combo box. the source to combo box is the above country and profit which populates at run time.
    Now when i execute the dashboard. The value is inserted in A1 after clicking the icon but it is not picked up by combo box as "item selected" and hence combo box does not filter any data.
    Can any pls help.
    Thank you. I will award full points for correct solution.

    Hi Monammed,
    The said functionality should work. Please check your logic one more time. Also, try using some spreadsheet components mapped to the cells in question and understand how the data is flowing during run-time. This will help you test things. Delete spreadsheets when you are done with identifying the issue.
    Lets check the combo box mapping one more time : Map the source of the combo to the entire range; labels in the combo box ONLY to the country column in the source range(typically this may be the left most column in the range); selected item should be mapped to the cell that has the destination for the icon and the type for default selection may be dynamic. Well, if there is any hard-coding of values involved anywhere, do check the spellings and other trivial things.
    Do let me know if this was helpful and if you need any more help.
    Thanks,

  • Linking my BTVision box to new Samsung Smart TV

    I bought a Samsung Smart TV 6000 series yesterday and have put the areial into the tv for tuning to take advantage of the Freeview HD. I have connected the BTVision box to the tv via HDMI - how do I record programs from the TV ??

    Just to expand a bit. You will have to connect an aerial directly to the BT Vision box to get any reception and view channels. You cannot record the HD channels from your TV to the BT Vision box. You will have to be an Infinity internet subscriber and sign up to the extra channels to be able to receive and record the HD channels to the BT Vision box. It does not have a HD Tuner built into it, so you cannot get the channels over your aerial, only over the internet. Hope that helps.

  • Use check box for report and form

    Hi Expert,
    I try to use check box to select multiple rows in a report and then click on a button to go to a form on another page to choose some values from the form and then do a mass update for records selected in reports.
    I read the "How to Work with Check Boxes" in 2 Day Developer guide, it works fine to select mutiple rows in report and do update with process in that report page.
    However, if I click on a button to go to another page which contains a form, seems the values stored in the package array are cleared and not passed to that page.
    Do you know how I could make this work?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jessie

    Hello Sakti,
    I am also in ECC6.0 & if i see the definition of the BAdI BADI_TAX1_XTXIT_SET, "Multiple Use" checkbox is checked! What are you trying to do - trying to create an implementation?
    @Prabhu: Although the BAdI is "multiple-use", but there is not filter applied to it. Next time do your checks properly before replying

  • How to use Vision Box as PVR

    How do I use my Vision Box on another tv to view recordings without being connected to BT?
    When I power up it tries to search for a connection and goes no further.

    Hi,
    Your Vision box needs to be connected to your BT BB to boot-up. If it's not connected, it wont.
    If you boot your box up whilst it is connected, then disconnect it from your BB, you WILL be able to view your recordings and use the box to watch Freeview. But you won't have an EPG. And you won't be able to record any further programmes on the box. It would basically be a makeshift doorstop.
    Hope that helps.
