Using two BT Branded Youview Humax boxes

9 months ago I purchased a second BT branded Humax Youview box from John Lewis. The two boxes have worked on the internet channels perfectly well. I have now had access to the internet channels removed on the second box. I very rarely had need to access the internet channels on both boxes at the same time, it was just convenient to be able to use then in two different places. I am prepared to pay the £5 a month extra to reaccess the internet channels on the second box, but do I really have to pay £99 pounds for another box, when these two have been fine. BT have stated that they will only provide the service on two BT supplied boxes, and not on a 3rd party supplied box. Why would John Lewis a highly respected retailer be selling BT branded boxes for any other reason than use as a second box. If I had a fault with my BT supplied box I would go to BT for a replacement, in or out of contract. Why is it neccessary to have a G4 box

To address the bold text -
Yes - you do need two Youview boxes that BT provide to you.  BT appear currently to be inflexible on this. Note that BT do not currently sell any of its non BT lve  internet channels packages/add-ons/bolt-ons for use on retail bought boxes.So its clearly a commercial or channel licensing  decision not to do so.
The G4 is not itself a requirement for multiroom - it's simply the current standard new box that BT issue so if you order a extra box for multiroom thats the one you get.

  • 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.

  • How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

    Hi any body explain me...
    How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
    with  header data in one main window,
    & Item data in other main window.

    HI..,
    u need to go for <b>SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW</b> !!!
    Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
    Here is the procedure !!
    -->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
    Choose <b>Edit --> Main windows</b>.
    A dialog box appears.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Area width</b> and A<b>rea height</b> in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Spacing</b> and Number in the <b>Horizontal group</b> if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
    Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the <b>Horizontal and Vertical groups</b>.
    -->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:
    <b>
    Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column</b>
    In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:
    <b>
      Upper margin of current main window +  Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window</b>
    -->Enter a value in the field Start position.
    This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
    -->The main windows are added to the list.
    -->Save your form.

  • How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

    How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
    Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
    1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
    2. The reason to select a leading check box
    3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
    4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
    Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
    Thanks

    As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
    Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
    Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
    That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
    If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
    Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
    Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

  • PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

    Dear Experts
    When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
    Any input on this please.
    Regards
    Paul

    Hi,
    Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
    There are two indicators
    1. Good receipt
    2. GR non-valuated.
    If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and  GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
    If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and  GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.

  • LaCie 6TB drive ejects when Air sleeps: I use two 6TB LaCie drives - home and office with my Air, which travels with me. Only have a problem with one. Is there a fix?

    LaCie 6TB drive ejects when Air sleeps: I use two 6TB LaCie drives - home and office with my Air, which travels with me between the locations. Only have a problem with one that inappropriately ejects when the Air sleeps (and only sometimes). Is there a fix? I've read others who believe that the problem is with the operating system (I'm using 10.9.2). But my problem suggests that it's with one of the LaCie's. Any suggestions about how to fix?

    Lacie doesnt make HD, thats a Seagate inside the box.
    Is there a fix?
    Yes, get a 4TB max HD,    6TB drives are both new and have known issues,  ...in fact so do most all 4TB drives.
    my problem suggests that it's with one of the LaCie's
    You mean Seagate
    Large external hard drives are great! Large external hard drives are horrible
    It is a common premise that people are overjoyed at the dropping prices per terabyte on external hard drives, and the first thing that enters most peoples minds is "great, I can put all my stuff on one drive,... all of it!" However considerations need to be made in creating a giant single choke point for not mere data loss, but seriously large data loss. If there is at the very least yet another redundant copy, this is fine, otherwise do not consider it whatsoever. Some 3TB and 4TB drives of all mfg. have, at the time of this writing, reliability concerns currently and best recommendation is staying at 2TB drives or less.
    Advantages and disadvantages of larger 3TB and 4TB external drives must be weighed

  • Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

    Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo?  I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo.  My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once.  I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport.  Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

    You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
    I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
    Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
    Enable AirPlay (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

  • Can i use two iclouds in two phones

    Hi all
    I m using two iphones which is 4s and 5c. Can I setup two iclouds in both sets separetly insted of using one icloud in two phones.

    To migrate one of your phones along with a copy of your existing iCloud data to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.

  • Is it possible to use two diff forms in same jsp/jsf page?

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to submit the form based on selection of radio button.
    since half part needs to be jsp based which is not using any tags etc.
    But i am trying to use some jsf based component which requires to be inside <f:view><h:form> of
    <%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" %>
    <%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" %>
    i.e. some <c:comboBox>
    </h:form> </f:view>
    Now earlier i was submitting the form as
    <form action="/techstacks-v2_1/reportAction.do" method="post" name=doSearch id='doSearch'>
    But now i found, in order to use combo box component which is entirely jsf based i need to use <f:view><h:form> which is kind of taking over the previous form submission mechiansm.
    I am trying to keep them separate as two differnt forms.
    one entirely jsp based and other as jsf based.
    Now my question is can i use such way of doing so or is there any better way of implementing so.
    My friend suggested that i can pass the value of jsf based form in hidden form to a input box of form to be submitted finally instead of submitteing two diff forms.
    but in that case also i ahev to use two forms in a single jsp/jsf page.
    suggest me something which can really work out.
    thanks
    vijendra

    You can use as many forms as you want as long as you don't nest forms. The HTML spec probibits that.

  • Can I use two 4GB SO DIMM DDRIII 1333 with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010???

    Hello you guys.
    I am working with a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 2,53 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 an want to upgrade RAM to 8GB.
    Can or should I use two 4GB SO DIMM DDRIII 1333 Units, or will that kill my Book and I better use two 1066 Units?
