The device orrather devices come as a kit and are placed at either end of a coaxial cable..
the devices allow up to a theoretical 270 mb of data trafic ..but in practical situations a good 100mbs is claimed without problems ..
the receiver device can then be hooked up to a network switch and that 100mbs the sub divided if neccessary ..
The units are made by netgear (MCAB1001) and I would love to get my hands on one of these kits ...but can only find them available in the USA..
perhaps ..UK legislation is once again to blame .
Basically ..I already have a coaxial cable running between 2 points ...and would like to use my existing internet service at both locations ..(why pay twice ) .
The same thing could in theory be done with a wireless bridge ...but I prefer closed systems.

Just completed my second build using this fabulous 'free' linux based server software ..
Keep in mind I know little about linux ...but its a doddle to set up ..even for a novice ..
You can use any old pc you have lying around ...
I currently am using a mobo I had lying in a drawer ...and is now fitted with 2 x 4 port sata control cards ..
so in combination with the 2 onboard mobo sata ports ..and the 2 onboard ide ports ..
..I now have access to a 'theoretical' 12 hard drives ..
I use ide zero.. for the o/s ..
..leaving the other ports free for media tank storage ..
Currently using 6 x 1TB sata hard drives and a 550watt psu ..the system runs beautifully ..and has expansion possibilities for the future ..
I cannot recommend this software enough ..
..and hope someone else can benefit from this info..

I did this again for a couple of days but it still goes off, so tonight I clicked on Microsoft update from the start menu but I cant get the Microsoft webpage up "internet explorer cannot display the webpage".
I can visit other websites no problem,my internet explorer seems to be working okay but recently on three or four occasions my computer suddenly gets stuck and I have to reboot it. I also can't get to the AVG website.

Apologies if this is the wrong place or I have missed an explanatory thread.
See My system specs.
I have RS 232 output on my digibox with usual L & R audio outputs.

My question is-if I get a RS232 to USB adapter will my PC be able to recognize the signal as video and therefore be able to record same?
Or indeed is there an easier way tp acco,plish the same goal?

I already have TV attached to PC via HDMI and can watch recorded stuff from PC HDD

Thanks in advance

Hello!
only for month ago,i bought a medion harddrive in aldi store,with a seagate 1,5 tv harddisc,yesterday,only after 4 month of purchase,i got a bad sector problem,every time,when the hd try to read the sector i got a bluescreen and the system reboot,now this is the first time i have problems with seagate hd,now i have to replace in warrenty,but i dont find the bill,you think i get from medion a new bill?
if i remeber right,i can send any seagate hd to seagate direct,the mast only see the serial number,to check online is there warrenty ot it or not?

can someone confirm this?

what hd should i buy now,when i look in the 2 tb section, the modell from hitachi seems to have the lowest price for 2 tb only 129€ in germany western and seagate charge 180€,does hitachi have good quality?

i oftten read in computer magazine larger hd are more sensitive,maybe i buy only 2 seprate 1 tb?

old scsi server harddrive are made for 24H use,on some hd drive,i got a lot of problems,samsung and maxtor in the past i have to replace a lot within warrenty!
does seagate maybe change the production factory,from oem harddrives from thailand to china?

The update will include 13 bulletins that between them tackle 34 vulnerabilities.

Microsoft said that eight of the bulletins were rated as critical - the most serious sort of vulnerability.

To prevent any of these updates causing problems with your system and software programs, may I suggest that you turn off Automatic Updates and wait until Wednesday and, using Internet Explorer, go to MS Updates and click Custom.
Then install just two of the updates (make a note of the KB numbers) and reboot and see how your computer runs.
If OK then repeat and get another two.

Any problem, go straight to Add/Remove section and remove the last two that you downloaded.
Then proceed with two more until they have all downloaded and installed.

It is a labourious job but better to know that if any of them causes problems, which ones it was.

Safe Updating.

13 bulletins on the 13th may be an omen,
Remember to reset your update settings when you are happy with this lot. ]]> Computer Discussion hoggy http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/computer-discussion/161084-microsoft-update-13th-oct.html Hotmail,Gmail,and Yahoo Mail Acounts hacked? http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/computer-discussion/160856-hotmail-gmail-yahoo-mail-acounts-hacked.html Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:34:57 GMT Hello! the last 3 days,i read a lot of reports in german newsletters,that first 100 of acounts of hotmail was hacked,now also gmail and yahoo mail are affected! hotmail,contacts 100 of users in the meantime! does anyone know how the hack works? was hotmail hacked again,in the past? i dont use...
