Sony Max 2 - Another Movie channel from Sony Posted: 06 May 2014 02:58 AM PDT After Movies OK by STAR and &Pictures by Zee, Sony also planning to launch another movie channel probably named as MAX 2. Also planning to launch 3rd GEC after Sony TV and SAB TV. MSM gets ready to max it with MAX 2 Its good news for movie buffs as Multi Screen Media's (MSM) long awaited plan to launch one more movie channel is rolling along fine. And the unveiling of the new service is likely to be once both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and elections are wrapped up and done. Multi-system operators (MSOs) say they have been approached by the Sony Entertainment Network (led by TheOneAlliance team) to keep aside space on their networks for two channels by May-end- early-June. One of these according to MSOs is the movie channel which has been christened as MAX 2 while the other a GEC has not yet been given a name. The GEC is likely to work as a third flanking GEC to both Sony and SAB. And the management is introducing it to take advantage of the monetisation opportunities digitisation is expected to bring with it. |
Bluetooth Headset for calls while driving Posted: 06 May 2014 02:09 AM PDT Please suggest a good headset. Which is can wear for hours without pain. Price is not an issue. I had previous bought Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset from amazon but withing 3-4 days it developed snag which is mentioned in many reviews that it disconnects and reconnects automatically. So have returned that product to amazon under their 10 days return policy. |
Funny Videos, Images and Jokes Posted: 06 May 2014 01:40 AM PDT MS staff There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away." __________________________________________________________ Is Windows a virus?

Porting from Tata CDMA to Reliance CDMA Posted: 06 May 2014 01:36 AM PDT Generated a porting code yesterday. Got a call from Tata retention as to why i want to port out. I told them i receive loads of spam sms. They said sir please give us time and we will get it sorted out. I said have complained 100s of times for spam yet i receive a lot so no more time and that you will learn a lesson when you will start loosing high value customer. To which she said company ko koi farak ni pardta agar koi number port karwa le toh. I said so why are you trying to retain me :P I have made a payment of Rs 1600 which is well above my monthly bill which is fixed at about 1450. My billing date is 15th of every month. So they should not play dirty games. |

Posted: 06 May 2014 12:22 AM PDT Hi, I registered on this forums just to post my feed back. After years of hopping around and facing demons like airtel, bsnl I felt that I owed a feed back about the new kid in town. ACT. And yes, it is just that - a kid!! I have been using ACT for 2 months now (I booted airtel after they categorically decided to raise my charges by 300 + VAT after a supposed market survey, damn I hate airtel) and I thought I have experienced all their facets to post a decent and honest feedback.
First for the positives: 1. Promised speeds delivered - for all those people who want to watch a video on YT without having to undergo terrible buffering and for guys who want to see that movie asap, these guys are good for the money. 25 mbps promised, 25 mbps delivered. 2. Installation is a breeze (even though the guys faced a problem with my Linux setup!) and the guys who come to do it are well behaved and professional - I mention this specifically because I definitely cannot say the same for the other ISP blokes.
Now for the annoyances - what you thought they were perfect?!?!?, fat chance!
1. The most prompt thing about ACT is the BILL. Come hell or high water, even if you have sent them a gazillion mails complaining about things the bill will come and you HAVE to pay it. Very impressive. 2. helpdesk@acttv.in - the world's most inactive mail ID. You might get a response from the president of the USA (if you have his email ID!) but not from ACT. And if by the blessings of God you do get it it will read - "regret the inconveneince, your complaint has been forwarded to the relevant department" and it is after waiting for ages you come to realize that the relevant dept is all off vacationing from ACT profits. And how many depts does it take to answer internet related complaints for an ISP? Very mysterious. 3. My complaints about throttled speeds with 5 GB remaining and about restoration of speeds after throttling have not even got the "...regret inconvenince..." message. A very busy ISP who does not have the time for its customers. 4. I still have not been able to solve the mystery behind the horribly dumb data limits. After months of feed back they introduced the 125 GB limit but I just cannot understand why they cannot give a lot more at such speeds. They do provide via fibre and they control number of connections via junctions, so they really cannot have a reason like overuse. I just dont understand this gimmick, why not give more data. I will gladly pay the extra money for more data but hey, not possible. Marketing gurus of ACT will take arms I suppose. 5. Finally - pay and use. You pay for a month and use it for that month - a policy that is not that trust inspiring but hey its ACT policy - well made!!
All in all - the fact that these guys are high speed saves the day. From a support perspective they suck, really suck. Once in you just have to put up with it and given the amount of time and resources it takes to hop from one ISP to another you end up putting up with it. If only they had better support and better plans - they would easily be the best of the choices we have. Sad. Overall, I would recommend it but you would face a lot of frustration and anger - the kind that makes this kind of a post just to rant!
Peace Ananth
PS : Actually apart from the good samaritan values behind this post, another motive is that I do see some posts being answered by an ACT rep on these forums. My mails are all getting junked - so maybe this post would wake them up!!!

Port Forwarding for TataSky VoD Posted: 05 May 2014 11:48 PM PDT Hi everyone
I need to forward the right port numbers in my router to my Tata Sky box for using VoD but I can't find the correct port numbers anywhere, and Customer Care doesn't help either. Anybody know them?
Thanks! |

Posted: 05 May 2014 11:19 PM PDT Hello ACT reps
I reside at Foreshore Estate, in RA Puram. It is located on Santhome High Road (nestled between Mandaveli on the west and Santhome to the east, with very close proximity to Mylapore and Adyar). I've got a BSNL connection now, and I got very good feedback about you guys from a contact in Bangalore.
I'm trying to get a new connection here at my home, but when I called your CC today, they informed me that there's no feasibility in my area. I'm confused as to how this might be possible, since my area lies smack in the middle of the places where your services are presently active.
And the CC rep wasn't very keen on discussing a timeline when connectivity in my are will become 'feasible'.
If you can reply/inbox me an explanation, or better yet provide me a timeline for when connectivity will become available, that'd be great....

ACT Broadband Bangalore Reviews Posted: 05 May 2014 09:48 PM PDT Hello Readers, My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband. I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263. Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again. I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week. I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response. Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband 1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in] 2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number. 3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so] 4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them 5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians] 6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time. |

Gurgaon Sector 46 - What are my options? Posted: 05 May 2014 09:10 PM PDT Looks like I've made a terrible move by Shifting to this place. Had this Reliance Thunder 699 plan while I was at Sector 10A but now I am not even finding a single ISP except the dreaded Tikona. Can anyone suggest me some option? I am living a tough life without the Internet here. Also if possible, suggest me some 3G option for the time being. |

Posted: 05 May 2014 12:09 PM PDT man the great graphic cards from the green team (nvidia) which is based on "Maxwell architectures" finally launched means better performance , better power consumption from previous gen cards , the brilliant thing about it that it only requires 60 watts tdp and doesn't required 6 pin power connector..so u can couple with ur old computers and play latest games in high settings and i think it satisfies the price and performance ratio and can be considered as already the god of mid level gaming......for detail specifications and prices go to the link down below..

Hacked my cheap USB hub, now works as Powered HUB Posted: 05 May 2014 12:04 PM PDT of all these days I was using USB hub for only connecting a device but once I moved a couple of things to this Cheapo Hub, everything was getting connected and then disconnected again and again, reason was obvious USB power available from Laptop was not enough to drive all these devices together.
So I opened my Rs.100 Hub and inserted a few components and Now Its working fine with multiple devices running at the same time. Powered by our evergreen Nokia Slim PIN charger
Now Connecting without any error USB Mouse + android + chill pad (thermal master) + a USB Pen Drive/Laserjet , all together never worked earlier on this HUB, they worked like a charm.

16th Lok Sabha General Elections of India Posted: 05 May 2014 11:48 AM PDT General Elections for electing 16th Loksabha members would happen in 1 year from now. It may even happen within 1 year as well if situation arises like current govt decides to call early elections or looses majority if coalition partners pull off support (which is less likely). So who could it be forming new govt? BJP or Congress? NDA or UPA? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Sushma Swaraj or Manmohan Singh? Arun Jaitley or P. Chidambaram? What impact Arvind Kejriwal would have on these elections? And finally will any 3rd front succeed in forming govt at Centre?
