    Sage TV Help

    Thanks for the overview. I placed my order for the HD200 and Sage Server as well as the HDPVR. I hope the HDPVR makes sense for me. I do not have any antennas to support the other tuners but I will most likely explore this next. I guess I don't see my HD cable box being replaced anytime soon...

    Sage TV Help

    Thanks. I am on board with the Sage offering but I still have some basic questions. If I understand this correctly, I would load the software on the mediasmart. Then hook the hd200 ethernet to either my actiontech router or a switch (I do not have one currently). Can I run two video outputs...

    Thanks for the advice. The tuner info is really helpful. I assume I can get started with the HD200 and add a tuner later. Will I need the USB-UIRT or does this depend on my setup location? Thanks Mike

    Sage TV Help

    Hey there, I am thinking about Sage TV. I currently have a HP MediaSmart Server as well as my A/V equipment in the basement. My primary TV is above the basement in the family room and the Eee PC is in the kitchen next to the family room. I have one HDMI cable running from the basement to the...

    New Computer

    Thanks. That was one way I thought might work. I do have a pretty simple set up with just one account. I assume that I should have the same version of Elk Rp on both computers or perhaps this is not an issue.

    New Computer

    I am looking for the easiest and safest way to move my Elk RP software and database over to a new pc. I started by loading my original version of rp (1.6.12 'I think') but then realized that I must of upgraded somewhere along the way. So when I try to do a sync of accts, I got an error...

    Recessed Contact Sensor Issues

    Unfortunately, right between the two sheets of glass. I guess I did not know better and ruined the seal or something. Although made it through the winter and did not notice any moisture in between the glass.

    Recessed Contact Sensor Issues

    Any suggestions on how to fix this or make it work? After installing many recessed door and window contact sensors, two of them do not work. The sliding glass door in my kitchen apparently when I recessed the sensor, it was actually too far from the wired contact side. I was thinking about...

    Electrical Wiring

    OK. While running some low voltage cables, I took out a couple of line voltage wires. In haste, I pulled through new wires and took apart a 3 gang switch box. Unfortunately, I did not make note of all the wire connections. I am almost certain it is a 2 circuit box with one switch and two 3...

    Getting started in HTPC's

    I have been following this post and in the not to distant future will be considering my options also. If I understand this correctly, this is for sharing anything that I have loaded to that server (ie. dvd rips, recorded shows, downloaded movies, etc...). And what it is not for is sharing your...

    Vizia RF windows application ready for testing

    George, You can use the rzcop with the elk. However, you still need to get the rzcop into the zwave network with the use of a primary controller. I had to bite the bullet and buy one of the vizia rf remotes. Regards, Mike

    Vizia RF windows application ready for testing

    I tried adding a 4 button scene controller to no avail. I did not try any one button controllers. I had no problems with the Vizia RF switches/dimmers. I did however have problem getting 2 intermatic appliance plugin modules working with the avl300. I did not spend alot of time on the...

    Vizia RF windows application ready for testing

    I had the same problem trying to use the monster avl300 remote. From what I understand the avl300 did not support adding controllers such as the vizia rf scene controllers and the rzcop. I gave in and picked up a vizia rf handheld controller.

    Insteon Wireless Lighting Starter Kit at Home Depot

    I have never seen any in the Home Depots in Philadelphia area. However, I did pick up a couple of appliance modules at Lowes that were on clearance. I think I paid $30 a piece not nearly as good as the Home Depot clearance. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even tell you if that was any bit of...

    Cat5e jacket tearing off

    If I were to pull another wire up using the old one as the lead, how should I do it? Obviouslsy, I wanna keep the line as thin as possible (knots would make it very tought to get thru). I guess I might want to use a string to connect the two wires together. Also, while on the topic of...
