Have you changed bulbs recently? If so, are they compatible with your dimmer?

Developers / Re: Touch Orbiter for WinCE 5.0 - Why not port it to your favourite Device/OS?
« on: September 07, 2010, 05:56:16 pm »...
ps; The problem with the image streams I was having seemed to be related to different Readers and InputStreams using the Socket Input Stream. I was reading the first line using a Reader object and the byte buffer using a DataInputStream. Changed the first line read to use the same DataInputStream and seem to be OK at the moment.

haha...I had a similar experience when creating the UnOrbiter.NET (touch orbiter for .NET framework).
The problem manifested itself in a different way, but it was essentially the same problem. I used one object(StreamReader) to read the first line (it has support for ReadLine method) to get the image size and another(Stream) to grab the rest of the stream. I didn't pay close attention to what the StreamReader was doing to the buffer. Lesson learned
This shortcut cost me some headaches, for sure, so I feel your pain.

I just chose the path of least resistance for me. Downloading and dd'ing the image to a usb drive is very easy, then I had a familiar environment to work with. My main concern was dependencies. I knew they would be easy to meet in ubuntu. It is, more than likely, possible to make it work in o2 OS (after working around some o2'isms), so feel free to experiment.

Sure, I'll make a write-up in the wiki for this.
One other important point that I forgot to mention is that I am running Ubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 via USB flash drive, not the original.

The easiest way to get a basic orbiter on Joggler is to simply build an SDL orbiter by using the MAEMO_NOKIA770 define. If you have a working builder, this should take minimal effort. All the needed x86 libs from the core are compatible.
This is what I did, with guidance from Thom. It's a basic orbiter, like I said, which means no automated setup, etc.

I have an UnOrbiter.NET port mostly complete. I'll attach the code to a trac ticket later tonight or tomorrow when I get finished(I use this term loosely).

Marco: The Cuwin-3500 is out of my price range, but the Eken m003 is more affordable, thanks.
DX has a handful of winCE devices that are affordable (like this one http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39551).
Not sure about the quality, though.

Seeing the video live was pretty neat, I must admit. Need to do more of that, for sure.
Of course I'm interested in seeing a nice, shiny orbiter port for my V7. Not sure how many others have one around here, though. Maybe this will generate some more interest in the device.
Nice work.

Users / Re: which card(s) for multiple satellite receivers
« on: March 19, 2010, 08:34:17 pm »
I have an HD-PVR that I plan to use with my vip722 (not using it yet, lmce support is still in-work, afaik).
If you don't intend to capture HD, it is probably overkill. Other than that, I have no experience with cards used for that purpose, so I can't help you out there.

The problem is that external STB's may have two tuners but they can still only output the signal from one of those tuners at any time - you would need 4 dual tuner STB's to deliver the capability you describe I'm afraid.
Some Dish Network dual tuner DVRs (such as vip722, vip722k, etc) support "two rooms" and therefore, have two video outputs. Not sure if you will be able two control two separate "rooms" with IR, though. Typically TV2 responds to the RF remote. I have successfully used two RF remotes before, but not two IR remotes. Maybe setting different addresses for each is sufficient, but I've never tried it.
