Hi all,
I've used MAZ 3.2 to transfer files out to my AZ-P-HD internal HDD and external HDD (on USB-1). Quite a nice feature, although the files sometimes don't show in the AZ until after a reboot.
Fairly quick too, I'd say, a 1/2hr .avi file takes about 4 min.
My question is; instead of FTPing the files over to the AZ, can I not just read them (play the movie) from my AZ via the connection? (cat-5 wired, ~6Mb/s).
When opening "FTP" in the AZ's home menu, a box pops up asking for info in order to connect to my (I assume) PC, but I am unsure of what to enter or where to find it.
Can someone point out what I must enter here?
Host:___. Port:___.
ID:__________.
PW:_________.
I hope I'm on the right track, thanks.

Possibly you simply have a slow network connection. HD would generally require Gigabit Ethernet to show uninterrupted 1080p pic oven LAN, and faster SATA hard drives are preferred choice. Even older CPUs and GPUs are generally fast enough for HTPC tasks. I doubt VLC would re-encode the streamed content unless you ask for that. 
Why would you need to transfer files back to AZBox? Can't you play them in AZBox via LAN from your PC hard drive?

No, it's the computer (Windows98), when I recorded on a newer system the HD played/recorded fine. The AZBox also can't access the hard drives on the Windows98 computer (it sees the hard drives, but won't display folders or files, even though all are shared), but since I don't really need it to, then it is no big deal. So that is why I FTP'ed the files to the AZBox. The newer computer system the AZBox can access.
Anyhow, here is something new I discovered. When recording a stream that has closed captioning, when playing it back through the AZBox onto the TV, the closed captioning appears! And, there is no way to shut it off! Of course, it doesn't appear when played through VLC. Considering that you can't get the AZBox to display CC on your TV, it is rather ironic. However, it could be useful to someone who wants/needs CC to record via a stream, and then play back via LAN.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.
