Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
So it looks like my much loved dvr/dvd player/burner (from Omnis, thanks Omnis!) will pass through but no longer pick-up the Comcast video signal for broadcast. (I gave up cable.)
Am I right in thinking that one can't find the same in HD/blu ray in the US? I can live without the burner, but I'd like to record broadcast, even in SD.
Or, is there some sort of "component out" on my Smart TV that I'm not seeing (it seems to have out connections for audio only)?
ita, I don't really understand why you're getting Read Only, but I will say that Time Machine backups work fine over SMB. I use them all the time. You have to modify some preference in the finder so that Time Machine will show you the volume, but after that it works just as well as over AFP. At least, my current DD-WRT router and external HD over SMB setup works just as well as my old Airport Extreme + external HD setup did.

It's not like I can turn off AFP--just that the main reason they were quick to ship a replacement was that the AFP was dead, leading to no Time Capsule.
If I could get Time Capsule working on the old one without AFP *and* the media service worked, I might even send back the new one, but it would worry me that AFP was just the first domino.
I want a NAS that does everything it says on the box.
I'm offloading a ton o stuff and have rounded up a bunch of obsolete software.
Are there any good things one can do with:
I've also got a Sharon Stever Step-by-Step book with cd for Illustrator 6.
No local schools are interested, sadly.
eta: I should also mention that I have all the manuals and, in the case of Freehand, Pagemaker and Toast are in original packaging.
Are these windows versions?
I geuss given the lower case i, no.
Gud, quick question about the Nexus 7. The specs say it doesn't support Adobe Flash, does that mean that I can't play games on it that require flash?

Hmm, that's curious. Just stopped doing it? Has anything changed? Did you add anything to the chain? I wonder if the signal got split, and it's not enough video signal to record? I can't recall if that unit has copy protection. I believe it does. And that might be the problem, in some way.
Sorry Typo, I should have said. I'm all Mac, all the time. So, no Windows versions of anything.
Recorded fine yesterday. But now there's a message from Comcast permanently on screen that says something to the effect "If you can see this message, your TV isn't ready for the Comcast digital upgrade. I have the cable wire going in to the dvr, then the tv. The TV channels are fine. And the audio comes through on the dvr, just not video.
I have a Smart TV with wifi, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc., but I would like to record PBS and broadcast and now I can't.
I was thinking if I could run the cable straight into the tv and out to the dvr, that might work, but there don't seem to be "out" components for the TV.
I wouldn't mind paying to upgrade the box, but it's annoying that the technology exists to do what I could do (record, edit, burn), but they just refuse to sell it in the US. (Although I love the people on the interwebs who seem to think it's because "there's no market for it".) Arrgh.
