TataSky 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus, how to get

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 02:23 AM PDT

For those who want to enjoy 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Digital 5.1 sound with tata sky +hd, plz do the following
Buy an AVR/DAC with Dolby Digital + decoder and a set of 7.1 speakers connect them to Tatasky +hd Box with HDMI cable only (use Coaxial and optical for upto 5.1ch) go to organizer-> User Settings->audio settings set Hdmi to Dolby Digital(if Avr is connected through HDMI) or Spdif to Dolby Digital(If AVR is connected with coaxial or optical). by this your 7.1 system(HDMI connection) has been setup but u will still get 5.1 sound because, not all contents are in 7.1 sound, so choose a movie which as per internet information says that has DD+ 7.1 sound like RAOne. 2nd and most imp thing the box supports 7.1 but the firmware in +hd box is still old and supports only Dolby Digital. to get Dolby Digital plus(7.1) the STB firmware has to be upgraded. I have already mailed tata to do that and I request all of u to plz ask tata sky to upgrade the firmware of STB to support Dolby Digital Plus along with Dolby Digital. Once they upgrade it, you will see the option of DD+ in Audio Settings along with DD and PCM. set it to DD+ to get 7.1 sound when a 7.1 content is shown.

Any idea if any good? I have still not purchased an electric shaver. A trimmer would be good enough as I do not have a formal job.

Tata DOCOMO INTERNET APN does not work most of the times

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 02:08 AM PDT

Hi, since last month I've been using internet booster card on my android mobile with TATA DOCOMO number. When I put the sim first time in the mobile I received three APN settings, one for browsing their portal which is Tata Docomo Dive In, one for MMS and one for all other activities which is Tata Docomo Internet. But most of the time my mobile is not able to connect to the Tata Docomo Internet APN which is for general propose, but some times when it does connects i get good speed and able to access internet normally. But I can connect to the other APN Tata Docomo Dive In without a problem which is for accessing their portal but with Tata Docomo Dive In setting I'm not able to access internet through any apps like facebook, opera mini, maps and etc. I tried calling customer care but it turned out to be no use :( I think Docomo is trying to cheat people by offering cheap net plans which is of no use... Any solutions??? Or anyone else facing such problem?

An appeal to Indian voters for 2014 election

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 02:07 AM PDT

Indian public has been badly letdown by corrupt political leaders. Hopelessness and sense of being knocked down is natural outcome of widely prevailing corruption. It is time to accept the reality of corruption and do our best. In the scenario when no political party is free of corruption, I appeal to voters to judge the party which is less corrupt and bring it to power. If  we are successful in bringing to power a party which is even 10% less corrupt than other, we will be making our country richer by billions of rupees. This act would be as charitable as donating blood and more charitable than donating millions of rupees to the country.

So although badly knocked down , it is for you to stand up and fight. Nobody else will.

With regards,

(B.J. Gupta)

The general cricket discussion thread

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

Strike back

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 01:15 AM PDT

Synopsis:
Strike Back: Project Dawn, as it is known in the United Kingdom (or just Strike Back in the United States) is a ten-part British-American action serial television series, and the follow up series of Strike Back. However the only cast member to return from the original series was Richard Armitage in his cameo appearance. It was a co-production between British broadcaster, BSkyB (for Sky1) and American premium cable broadcaster, HBO (for Cinemax). The series follows the actions of Section 20, a secret branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

My opinion:
This show is better than it needs to be. A season has 10 episodes, with a mission per 2 episodes taking place in different locations around the world. There will be a overarching story connecting the 10 episodes. It's like watching 5 decent action movies shot within a TV budget. They still use the locations very well. The action is well choreographed. Being a cinemax (skinimax) show, you can sense the nudity around the corner but it's not really gratuitous like in Starz shows. The first UK season only has 6 episodes but I didn't watch that season. It was revamped in the second season called Strike Back: Project Dawn. I only started watching the show from the second season. The first 2 episodes in Strike Back: Project Dawn takes place in India.

The 2-hour premiere of the third season called Strike Back: Vengeance premiered last Friday.

Need help with Beetel 450TC2 modem

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:07 AM PDT

I recently got Beetel 450TC2 wifi-modem with my Airtel internet connection. I can connect to internet via lan wire but they have implemented enterprise wifi security for wireless connectivity. Basically, one has to register his/her devices via their website and only then he/she shall be able to connect to internet. Also it has a limit of only 4 devices via wifi as websites registers MAC of each device. If one has to add a new device he has to de-register previous device. In short it is "crap worthy".

I tried to change the wifi authentication mode by login into the modem via 192.168.1.1 but it is locked (uneditable). Is there a custom firmware/ open source firmware/ other tricks that can be used to remove this bullshit authentication mode? Only in India can a company (Read Airtel) sell you broadband at a high cost as well as restrict it usage.

Broadband not working

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 11:09 PM PDT

Dear ACT,

 

I've had ACT broadband connection in Indiranagar for the past 8 months now.Since the past 24 hours, my broadband hasn't been working and issue is unresolved till now. The complain id is 0001141783. This is the first major outage I've had which has stayed beyond 1 hour and is affecting my work badly as I need to rely on slow speed connections. I don't mind restarting my modem every 24 hours which I have been doing since the beginning to resolve the issue whenever I experienced lack of connectivity. But this time it has extended far too long. Request you to look into this urgently and resolve the issue.

Software Piracy

Hello!
 
We all know that engaging in software piracy is a criminal offence. But it gets worse when a group of people come unannounced to your office and seize all your supposedly unlicensed software, without letting you take a backup of any data. They also ask for an exorbitant settlement figure. http://bit.ly/19fte1Y

RBR signs Vettel for 2009

Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:21

Red Bull Racing has confirmed that it has signed Sebastian Vettel to partner Mark Webber in its 2009 driver line-up.
A vacancy opened up at the Milton Keynes-based squad following David Coulthard's decision to retire at the end of this season, and Vettel has been widely tipped for promotion from Red Bull's 'B' team Toro Rosso.
However there has also been speculation that RBR was trying to entice double world champion Fernando Alonso away from Renault, but the Spaniard remains non-committal about his plans for next year and has been linked to a move to Ferrari in 2010.
Team principal Christian Horner said he was confident that, despite Vettel's youth and relative inexperience, the 21-year-old German was the right choice.
"We are delighted that Sebastian will be joining us next year," said Horner.
"With David Coulthard announcing his retirement as a Formula 1 driver a fortnight ago at the British Grand Prix, after careful consideration, it seemed natural to announce his replacement here at Sebastian's home race in Hockenheim.
"As he was already part of the Red Bull family, choosing Sebastian as Mark Webber's team-mate was not a difficult decision.

Yenthiran – First look!September 05, 2008Shankar's dream project Robot is already a hot cake among the media, with news updates coming out thick and fast. The latest scoop is that the movie might be titled Yenthiran and not Yenthiram. There is also news about the photo shoot which took place. The first look of Yenthiran, which will be released to the media soon, will have a completely shaved, suave looking Rajinikanth in designer

Shahrukh up in arms against Robot September 04, 2008Shahrukh Khan had initially planned to produce and act in Shankar’s Robot. But this plan did not take off and the offer finally landed on superstar Rajinikanth. With the film being made in Tamil, the director decided to opt for a name change to get the tax sops announced by the Tamil Nadu government for films with Tamil names. It is now believed that Robot will be rechristened Yenthram.

Meanwhile, Shahrukh’s production house Red Chilies has created a stir in the film industry by registering about nine names that have the word Robot in it. Director Shankar had plans to simultaneously make it in Hindi because Ashwarya Rai-Bachchan plays the female lead. With Shah Rukh’s title registering act Robot in Hindi could suffer a major blow. Wonder what the star is up to!

worst customer service by tata docomo

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 08:51 PM PDT

Recently I had worst service experience with tata docomo. I am using SIM of tata docomo with internet connectivity. In last week, to my surprise, two times  I felt that my balance was reducing at a much higher rate. Once it was reduced to zero and another time just after my recharge some rupees were deducted. When I inquired about this with service center they were not able to give any satisfactory answer. Moreover they blame me that I might have downloaded something....so pathetic...I have decided that I will switch to some other service provider.

Sony Honami Mini

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 08:37 PM PDT

lol.
 

 

 

The device is said to have a 4.3 inch 720p TRILUMINOS display. It's going to use 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 and will have 2GB of RAM. There's 16GB of internal storage which can be expanded using a microSD. The rear camera is 20.7 MP and will come with a 1/2.3″ sensor, f2.0 aperture size and a Sony G Lens. The device will use a 2400 mAh battery.

As far as differences go the i1 Honami uses a 5 inch 1080p display (versus 4.3 inch 720p) and a battery of 3050 mAh (versus 2400 mAh). The best part of this is that the camera used by the i1 Honami and the Ray3 are the same.

Yepme Horrible Shopping

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 07:01 PM PDT

Hello guys I had shopped some shirts as I found them interesting and made online payment as they were giving additional discount of 20%

 

My 1st order was on 2nd Aug and it was shipped through Indiaontime courier on 3rd Aug

 

2nd order was on 8th Aug and it was shipped through indiaontime courier on 9th Aug

 

But till now they have not delivered the product. The product is struck @ local franchise of indiaontime courier company.

 

As in shopclues thread I had mentioned about it. So I strongly feel that the order will not be delivered and that franchise is some what 18KM from my place so I cannot go and take it.

 

So the call to the customer care of courier company is going waste as they say we will deliver as soon as possible.

 

Yepme tells to wait for another 48hrs max so that delivery will be arranged.

 

So, how can I get my money back as yepme is telling they cannot do it as they have sent the pproduct

 

Contact payment gateway?

Consumer court?

cyber crime branch?
