Tata Sky DTH now replacing MPEG2 STBs with MPEG4 STBs for free!

Posted: 31 Aug 2013 01:06 AM PDT

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

 

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

 

 

 

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

BSNL ADSL Broadband Becomes Pathetic Between 12 PM ans 6 PM

Posted: 31 Aug 2013 12:02 AM PDT

Is it only me or anyone else is also having this same problem. BSNL broadband performs great at night and morning (and sometimes at also in evening). But it becomes almost pathetically slow (though speedtest.net result show fast speeds always) after noon.

Mallya delighted with Fisichella's performance
Force India looks set to step up its relationship with Ferrari for 2009. Not only will the Silverstone based team continue to use a customer engine built by the famous Italian marque next year, Force India is reportedly planning to run a KERS energy-recovery system that is also developed by Maranello-based Ferrari.

"We will run a Ferrari engine and the electronics of Magneti Marelli," team co-owner Vijay Mallya, apparently referring to the introduction next year of a system that will store and re-use energy captured under braking, is quoted as saying by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport.

Ferrari confirmed recently that its engine and electronics departments have been merged ahead of the major regulation change for 2009.

Force India, however, will continue to build its own gearbox, and the outfit's first 'quick shift' transmission will be introduced at the Hungarian Grand Prix in August.

Mallya said he was delighted in Bahrain, where Force India driver Giancarlo Fisichella finished ahead of the highly rated McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton.

"I could not hide my laughter,:hysterical:" the Indian billionaire said. "In Bahrain, our team made one more step forwards.:thumbsup:"

Anyone here using YOU Broadband in Pune ?

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 07:35 PM PDT

I am now in need of a broadband provider at my home in Pune. I was checking if 3G would be VFM but supposedly it is not for me. Checked with airtel and my place is not "feasible" as per them. I don't have an option of BSNL so that is out too. The only option supposedly is available is YOU telecom.
Is there anyone here using YOU Broadband in Pune or somewhere else ?
I was planning to get their

Either the YOU hurricane or the YOU Trident plan, lowest in them respectively.

How consistent is the connection and speed ? Downtimes ?
I read few threads here and people seem to be having issues with speed mainly/ I am ok if i don't get full 12 Mbps or 10 Mbps but consistent connection and low / no downtime is more important.

Please suggest if it is worth going for YOU broadband ?

Router for Thunder 1099

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:39 PM PDT

So, I am going for it probably in couple of weeks ( still haven't called them though as I just shifted to my new place.

 

I have got ZTE ZXDSL 531B series one which I got from BSNL some like 5 years back. Will it work with the new thunder plans and will give me best speeds ? 

 

I used to use this with my BSNL 650 Combo plan ( used it till 2011 ) which used to give me 280kb/s ( 2mbps unlimited night plan ) and this worked fine with it.

 

I don't want to listen to reliance people saying to me "hey, this won't work with new connection, u need to buy new one" scam. So let me know peeps.

 

Also, I have lost the adapter for it, so anyone mind linking me to ebay.in or flipkart to buy a new one?

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

SC makes it clear: Govt will have to ban Porn

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 10:17 AM PDT

 

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to various ministries of the central government on a PIL seeking modification of internet laws to make watching pornography a non-bailable offence.

A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices A R Dave and Vikramjit Sen issued notice on Kamlesh Vaswani's petition saying existing laws had failed to prohibit proliferation of internet pornography and alleged that it was affecting the younger generation and resulting in increasing sexual assaults on women.

 

Appearing for the petitioner, senior advocate M N Krishnamani said the government urgently needed to take pro-active steps to block all pornographic websites as they were affecting the "peace of mind, health and wellness, happiness and human potential".

Hi,

Budget is not a constraint.

 

Please help!

International pings are horrible on MTNL Broadband for 2 weeks now

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:44 AM PDT


 

Solution:

Quit MTNL. MTNL doesnt know how to fix DNS issue. (Its been 2 months now.. still problem persists.) 

Either go with Airtel or Joister Broadband. 

 

 

 

OLD LOG BELOW: 

 

I hope you understand my query.

 

If you call 1504, MTNL aunties will pick up the call, and if you tell them my ping has increased. They will ask you back what is PING.

 

So if anyone has MTNL prabhadevi office Internet Admin's phone number or any email, please let me know.

 

As im facing PING issues on MTNL, and because of which my MTNL speed has also reduced to 1.4mbps (Im paying for 2MBPS connection).

 

And im a gamer, ofcourse we need better pings to Singapore and .. other Asian servers.

 

please email me any help or, reply me here. THANK YOU.

DLink DSL-2520u Firmware update in Crash Recovery Mode.

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 05:53 AM PDT

Hi All,

I am going to explain how to update firmware for crashed, corrupted mode for Dlink Modem below:-

I have purchased DSL-2520u having DDNS Feature in mind, but i was sad (human tendency) when i couldn't see such features.

Post Purchase fig:
Board ID: DSL-2520U
Software Version: IM_1.00
Software Date: Jun 11 2010
Bootloader (CFE) Version: before 1.0.37-5.12
H/W Version : T1.
Manufactured in May 2012.


Day1
I tried all forums and DLink for updated Firmware. After Several calls to Dlink (Thanks for their waiting time on IVRS) said they have latest firmware which include DDNS and additional Security features. I was so happy to hear that. They even sent me Firmware via email.

I have tried upgraded with given firmware via web gui/TFTP [Update Software] and it was failing with err: Fatal error during image uploading. .It was bit frustrating.

Day2.
I called DLink again in morning . They resent same firmware hinking that last image is not good. I retried and again same err :(
Again i called Dlink[20 mins wait every time on fone] , One of Exec said, if it's not upgrading this way then i will have to corrupt Firmware intentionally. He told me process as well on phone.

HOW TO ?

1. Connect your modem to PC/Laptop using ethernet cable.
2. Assign Static Ip to PC/Laptop to avoid issue later. (It took 2 hrs for me to fig out , Dlink din't tell me about this)
IP 192.168.1.2, SM, 255.255.255.0, DG ,192.168.1.1
3. Download Firmware in C:/Firmware [Sent by Dlink]
4. Check if you can browse 192.168.1.1 [Going fwd :- WEB GUI]
5. Take configuration Back up of modem into your PC/Laptop to reduce reconfiguration. Managament >> Settings >> Backup
6. Now, take a paper clip - Press Reset button for 1 Min at rear side, every 10-15 secs , Please unplug and replug power cords into. Modem will restart itself and u will see only Strong Constant Red Light & Etherenet port light if connected. This mode is called Crash Recovery Mode. if power light turns into green and you are able to see normal reset , then repeat this step again.
7. Now try browsing 192.168.1.1 with default user/passwd.
8. If u see Quick setup page , then repeat Step 6 else step 9.
9. If you see message saying that welcome to upgrade page and you see one browse path and Update button.
a) Pl select path for firmware
B) Please submit update button.
10. It will take 2 mins to flash new firmware.
11. You will see DDNS & extra sec features.

Post Firmware Upgrade
Board ID: DSL-2500U
Software Version: ME_1.00
Software Date: May 24 2011
Bootloader (CFE) Version: before 1.0.37-5.12

Cheers.

This process should be followed only when normal updates are not working or firmware are corrupted or crashed. and you see constant Red light on box and not turning into green.

I am newbie so can't upload link.
Cheers.
