Comedy Nights With Kapil

Posted: 06 Oct 2013 02:37 AM PDT

I wonder why there is no thread for this yet!

 

The show is doing wonderfully well. I personally love it. It's different, no cheap comedy and pure entertainment.

 

TRP wise it's doing extremely well. Currently at the top in it's category (even above the likes of KBC, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, etc.) and overall 3rd.


BTW you can watch the full episodes, trailers, etc. here - http://www.youtube.com/user/colorstv/search?query=comedy+nights

Believe me, this show is amazing. You gotta watch this if you don't.

Champions League T20 discussion thread - 2013

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 11:49 PM PDT

http://www.espncricinfo.com/champions-league-twenty20-2013/content/current/story/665813.html

 

 

 

Players who qualify for two teams

Quinton de Kock (SA) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Highveld Lions
Chris Lynn (Aus) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Brisbane Heat
Michael Hussey (Aus) - Chennai Super Kings/ Perth Scorchers
Nathan McCullum (NZ) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Otago Volts
Dwayne Bravo (WI) - Chennai Super Kings/ Trinidad & Tobago
Chris Morris (SA) - Chennai Super Kings/ Highveld Lions
Albie Morkel (SA) - Chennai Super Kings/ Titans
Nathan Coulter-Nile (Aus) - Mumbai Indians/ Perth Scorchers
Kieron Pollard (WI) - Mumbai Indians/ Trinidad & Tobago
Samuel Badree (WI) - Rajasthan Royals/ Trinidad & Tobago
Kevon Cooper (WI) - Rajasthan Royals/ Trinidad & Tobago
Brad Hogg (Aus) - Rajasthan Royals/ Perth Scorchers
Kumar Sangakkara (SL) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Kandurata Maroons
Nuwan Kulasekara (SL) - Chennai Super Kings/ Kandurata Maroons

 

 

Kumar Sangakkara will have to choose between playing for Kandurata Maroons and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming Champions League T20 in India, after Sri Lanka Cricket have expressed a strong desire for him to represent Kandurata in the tournament. SLC has gone as far as seeking legal counsel on whether they can ask Sangakkara to play for Kandurata, even if it will effectively cost both Sangakkara and the board significant sums of money if he plays for his local team.

 

Also Malinga has ruled himself out of CL-T20

Unable to use Tata Sky Wifi Remote

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 10:56 PM PDT

Hi

 

I've a TataSky HD+ box, and I downloaded the new TataSky App from the AppStore.

 

The STB is connected to my WiFi router with the TataSky Wifi Dongle.

I am unable to use the feature of WiFi remote provided by the TataSky App.

 

On trying to connect I get an error '0xfd2002 : Wi-Fi signal not available, Please ensure your TataSky + HD set top box and this device are currently connected to the same Wi-Fi router.'

 

Has anyone in the forum faced the issue? Any solution?

 

The TataSky helpline is clueless about this...

Auto Hathway Authentication

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 10:32 PM PDT

Making this as a new thread just for the sake of the new Hathway users who are sick of regular browser logins. There are few developers who have been working on these programs and apps. Thanks to them. There are some programs that can be used for automatic authentication.

 

1. For Desktop/Laptop - Auto Hathway Authentication

 

2. For android devices - Auto Hathway Authentication and Hathway Login

 

Auto Hathway Authentication program is free software where as Hathway login app is a trail version for first 5 logins through your android device and then you have to purchase it for Rs. 100 or so to upgrade it to full version.

 

All credits goes to these developers, I m just spreading the word as it helped me. Ciao!!

Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 08:43 PM PDT

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipurpose_National_Identity_Card_(India)
once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

those who give up liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security-Benjamin Franklin.

If anyone knows where I can get one like this, would be obliged. I visited the local electronics market today and asked a couple of shops, they said no idea, didnt explore much though. I saw one on ebay.in but that does not swivel like the one in the youtube link above.

Airtel HD+ - Query on using existing hard drive partition

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 03:18 PM PDT

Hello Techie folks,

 

Yesterday, I upgraded to Airtel HD+, which allows us to connect to an external usb storage and record programs.

 

I have a query that I am hoping to get a resolution on this forum.

 

I have a 1 TB USB external hard drive which is partioned into 4 drives of roughly 250gb each. I plan to use one partition for HD+ STB. However, as soon as I plug in my hard drive to STB and switch it ON, it asks me to 1) Format drive 2) Go back.

 

I cannot format the drive, because it carries useful data and run beyond 600 gigs, which I cannot back-up somewhere else, even temporararily. I can't just lose the data (believe me, they are not movies).

 

I just wish that the STB should prompt me with the drive name, once I select it to format. But, I cannot try this, because, if it doesn't prompts me and formats the entire 1 TB drive, I'll be in soup.

 

So, if any of you have tried to connect a partitioned hard drive to HD+ STB, could you please share your experience?

 

Is there any way out?

 

Thanks in advance.

Degrading BSNL Broadband and its Infrastructure. No hope in sight :(

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 02:47 PM PDT

I have been a BSNL customer for some years now , more because its the only ISP in many parts of the south india. Starting from the later half of this year , the BSNL broadband has been slowly degrading.

 

Every weekend , BSNL networks starts to crumble under the load (weekend influx of users) and not until Tuesday , the network starts to come back to normal.

 

It been happening for past 2-3 weeks. My SNR are within normal.

 

Here is current ping to google dns , so inconsistent , and also so high . Usually my pings are 20-40ms , but since its monday and as i said before , pings are horrible.

 

BxDaaoJ.png

 

 

Routing is bad , and i dont know if bsnl is going to improve its infrastructure.

 

Today placed a complaint and got calls from local BSNL officer , regional officer . Regional officer had no clue what i was telling , as he kept saying my speed is 512kbps and it will soon be 4mbps coming 1st.. *facepalm* and i kept repeating the issue is with Routing and not with my speeds. I just said to tracert to one ip (valve server ) and look at the route  and see for the lagging / latency node (TATA server)

 

http://whois.net/ip-address-lookup/180.87.12.81

 

 

 

nAaOIi3.png

 

 

A simple routing from india to singapore now goes via US *morefacepalm*

 

Did try to contact TATA , but they said to instead contact my upstream provider , ie BSNL :(

 

This has already been detailed in this blog post : http://anuragbhatia.com/networking/bsnl-softlayer-connectivity-problem-possible-fix/

 

And as the blogger said , its upto BSNL to correct the issue , which i think wont happen anytime soon.

 

Also from one of his tweet :
 

 

BSNL in #3 out of top 50 world most active AS'es. Keep on screwing up routing AS9829!

 

http://bgpupdates.potaroo.net/instability/bgpupd.html

 

 

With no other ISP in my place , and no other prvt players coming along the road in any time soon .. Dont know what else to do.

 

With more dwindling profits , BSNL is in precarious condition and letting it fail will eventually lead to more people being cut off from internet , letting it live will only deteriorate the already present horrible network. Right now in Catch 22 situation .

 

 

All i think we can do currently is keep lodging complaint after complaint . But the current mentality of BSNL personnel's is to run an OK network , irrespective of it performs.

 

Does it lag ? Do you have latency while gaming ? Not able to run a decent 240p youtube video ?

 

WE ARE LEAST BOTHERED !!

Petrol Pumps would sell cooking gas cylinders in India

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 01:07 PM PDT

http://www.readability.com/articles/29ndbwqj

 

 

 

Now, pick up your cooking gas cylinder with minimum fuss at a petrol pump. Five kg cylinders will now be available at selected company owned petrol pumps as part of a pilot scheme - and all you need is a valid identity card. For now the facility will initially be available in just 11 outlets in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore on a pilot basis.
This is a new initiative from the government - cutting out some of the paper work and making it easier to get hold of an LPG gas cylinder. The cylinders are not subsidised - and the first cylinder would cost Rs 1000 plus taxes and regulator costs - and almost Rs 500 for a refill.

MTNL Mumbai Unltd 450 Plan Speed Boost withdrawn

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 12:03 PM PDT

A quick update for those who havent noticed:

 

MTNL has withdrawn the speed boost from the Unltd 450 plan - no more 1-2 mbps speeds at night, its all 512kbps now.

 

They didnt even announce any changes. I only noticed it because I stopped getting the extra speed this month and decided to check their plans page.

Toyota Innova Updates

Posted: 05 Oct 2013 11:41 AM PDT

Toyota has been one of the big surprises of the Indian Automobile Industry. They happen to be one of THE most recognized auto brands in India. And when they entered the Indian market, they came with the unlikeliest of models in Toyota Qualis. The Multi Utility Vehicle was at least 2 generations old but became one of the biggest success stories of its category in India.

Later came the luxury models from the Japanese Marquee in the form of Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla, which made a name for itself in their respective classes. Just recently, the company came up with another shock for the Indian customer. Looking at the updated model from the competition in the form of Chevrolet Travera from GM, they decided to replace Qualis with a highly advanced model in the form of Innova!
