[quote]5xxx units only allow a maximum of 6 characters in the Dialing Prefix.
You have to dial from an extension and then initiate the net-connect when the call to the LaHo service starts ringing. After your Replay picks up the phone (you will hear a click on the line) you should hang up. [/quote]

I'm in the 5000 dialing boat. Can't get it to work, even when I call the number on my land-line and hang up. Can't get the timing right. Replay either says "no dial tone" or calls DNNA.
Are you saying if we connect once with DSL (very difficult for me), the 19722911335 number will be pushed into available numbers list? Then the 5000 Replaytv can connect to LaHo via phoneline?
Will the setup interface look different after this?
Also, will our recorded shows still be there? |

At the "predial digits" screen, press "ZONES" and you can disable dialtone detection.

Yes. Once the unit connects (via network or phone) the number will be stored on the Replay
The user interface should be the same.
All your recorded shows should be untouched.

I am so sorry that I left out the "Disable dial tone" step in my last post, I have updated that post to include that information.
I made a post in another thread that included all the steps but just put a summary post here, but I should have at least made a reference to disabling the dial tone detection.
Here is the original post:
http://planetreplay.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=78351#78351
Note that my advice was to initiate net-connect when you heard the phone start ringing because it seems to take several rings for LaHo to answer and it also takes some time for the countdown and dialing of the net-connect. Starting net-connect just when it starts ringing worked for me each time I tested it. |

Yeah, that would work as well, although once is enough in that case, you don't have to do it twice. But, the idea of the instructions is to make it simple, which changing the ZIP code is. And, waiting for the unit to reboot again is pretty time consuming compared to just changing the ZIP code... |
Currently, with WiRNS 2.x, I've just been alternating between 2 ZIP codes. If, with WiRNS 3.x, I need a 'new never-before-used' ZIP code each time, I'll have to change my strategy to 'sequential' ZIP codes for the state. Thus, I just wanted to make sure that, in case I 'screw up' and get my myself stuck with an 84420005 or something, at least clearing the Channel Guide twice will still 'bail me out'.
I also have to research some new code (that begins with a 9, IIRC, but, for the life of me, I can't find an example right now) that seems to be popping up quite often lately. It, according to you, 'might' be related to "WiRNS didn't upgrade completely", but, until I find the posts again, I can't be sure. There are SO MANY new posts lately!

Robert and Space
Thanks for helping.
I connected by ethernet (took 4 hours to set that up), then switched back to dial-up. I'm a Laho member. Great!
But now I can't add a channel lineup on Perc's website, even with javascript on. When I press "Add a new lineup", nothing happens.
My Firefox NOSCRIPT only allows Flash apps. If Perc uses something besides Flash, I need to know what. Also, I want to know if others are having trouble setting line-ups. It might be their website.
By the way, when I first connected, Laho asked for "registration". Turns out they add numbers to your serial and you have to re-enter it at Perc. |

Again, I was trying to generalize for the purposes of a public post. If you know what you are doing, then you can alternate between ZIP codes. Heck, if you know what you are doing, you don't even have to change ZIP codes, but that's a lot more trouble. Anyway, rather than posting that you have to remember what you used all the different ZIP codes for and then you can go back to a previous one if you're using it for the same thing that you used it previously, I just figured it was easier to post that you should use a new different ZIP code each time. I figured that how many times could you be trying to change your ZIP code?

Nothing happens? That's pretty strange. We don't do anything more advanced than forms and css at that step. (Javascript is used for the edit lineup page).
First report of this... have you tried another web browser?
What's your account status? Does it report a TMS Error? If so you need to wait a bit.

FYI.. with the annoucement of the ReplayTV shutdown cancelation Perc/LAHO is not available to new beta users.
The Perc servers now provide RepalyTV's dialup # in the global config. So after one poll, you can do a initial setup to Replay (change your zip code/phone) and go back to Replay.

I didn't know WHAT you were talking about until I found this.

Don't trust them at all.
I hope you'll keep LaHo on standby, and everyone should take a back-up image of their Replay with Replaytv-Patch in case DNNA screws with us. That way we can go back if we need to.  |

Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 11:33 am Post subject: LaHo Supports Digital OTA Lineups |
|
|
I just wanted to post that LaHo supports Digital OTA lineups automatically! That is, if you configure an OTA lineup in your account, LaHo will add two lineups available for your RTV to use. One will be an Antenna lineup, pretty much like the DNNA lineup, which only has the analog channels available (which are the only ones that can be tuned through the Antenna input on the RTV). But, in addition, you will have a second Digital Cable lineup, which has both the analog and digital OTA channels, with the digital channels including the subchannel number!
You may still have to configure custom IR Blaster codes for your digital OTA converter, but you should be able to use LaHo for the EPG for a digital OTA lineup...

How do the subchannels show up on the actual replay with LaHo?
For instance 14-1, 14-2, 14-3 and 14-4 are are available digital OTA for the second "OTA Digital Cable lineup" you describe, how does the Replay unit map these subchannels when using LaHo?
(in WiRNS when you have multiple choices active for channel 14 in a given lineup, the replay only uses the first one in the list on 14) |

In your example, they would come out as channel 141, 142, 143, and 144, which you should be able to use to control certain digital OTA converters to tune subchannels...

Excellent job. That should work with the CM converter box and it might work with the insignia/zenith box.
Won't work with dtvpal CECB or DISH OTA which need 1401, 1402, 1403... But people who find that extra lineup should know what they are doing. And in the case of the CM box they will need to fine-tune to send 3 digits, otherwise 32 becomes 32-1. Need to blast 032 to get 3-2. |
