Timer scanning would be very nice. It would also me nice to be able to select which satellites are scanned for a multi-satellite scan instead of "all". Jim

SES-1 at 101W. When they're testing the History Channel ITC, it's great tv on 12060 H. Jim

The commute from flatSac would be a bit more than I could handle. Otherwise, I'd love it. :) Jim

I also had issues with History this afternoon. My guess is the answer is in the name it scans in as: "TEST_...". This isn't a production signal that the hotel guest watch. They get the encrypted History Channel which isn't played with by the techies. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one with...

update on yesterday's post: It's a "permissions" issue. A user is limited in what he can do to devices when running 'cron' or 'at' jobs. I was able to get things working when I became root. Jim

Is it me or doesn't 'tune-s2' like to run via an 'at' or 'cron' job? All I get is exit status 255 when I use 'cron' and nothing shows up with "ps aux | egrep 'tune-s2'". The same command to run 'tune-s2' from the command line works like a champ. I'm confused (as usual). :) Jim

They only compiled the modules for those cards/chipsets. It's supposed to be open source but they made things difficult with some of the tricks they added to their compiled java menu system. I'm waiting for xbmc to get live streaming working well enough to migrate. Jim

If you haven't already recompiled after all the system updates; try that. Jim

Sounds like it's write only memory unless one has special tools. :) Jim

MeTV2 has a show on high tech right now. 10:35pm pacific time Jim

Me TV 2 Just noticed a still of the Honeymooners instead of the normal test pattern. Could this be a sign of good things to come? :) Stay tuned. Jim ps. Yea, like I really know anything.:no

Go for the 10 foot dish and hold out for free with the wiring. I picked up one of those about 15 years ago with a friend of mine. It comes apart in quarters and is a two man job to take down and take apart. You'll want to take it apart because it'll become airborne if you don't AND it'll get...

Which brings up the questions you're likely to hear. Are there or aren't there Artesians? Do you think one will ever be found? Jim

I have a Genpix-Skywalker-CW3K that I'm trying to use for a second dvb adapter on my linux box. It's recognized by the kernel, the modules (dvb-usb and dvb_usb_gp8psk) are loaded, udev will act on it; however, I can't get dvr0, demux0, frontend0, or net0 to be created under adapter1. Does...

What is everyone using to edit.the dump file? Is there something in 4play that I'm missing or is it just a text file that needs some TLC? Jim
