Can you use TiVo with your home computer or network?

Yes, there are many benefits of hooking your TiVo DVR with your home computer or with your home network. However, to use your TiVo DVR with your home network, you�ll need to purchase a network adapter and have the TiVo Series2 DVR.

The benefits of using TiVo with your home computer are:

  • You don't have to keep your TiVo DVR connected to a phone line. The TiVo DVR connects to the TiVo service every 24 to 48 hours to download your program information. To avoid the TiVO DVR tying up your phone line, you can add your DVR to your wireless or wired network through a broadband connection. Your TiVo DVR will be able to download your program listings through your broadband connection (which is "always on") and won't have to periodically tie up your phone line.
  • You can transfer files and music from your PC to your TiVo DVR. You can organize and view your digital photos from your TiVo menu or listen to your favorite MP3 files. TiVo Desktop is required to publish photo and music files from your computer to your TiVo DVR.
  • Schedule your TiVo DVR to record your favorite shows from the Internet. Use TiVo Central Online to schedule the recordings of your favorite shows. You�ll create an account online and sign in to any browser and send a schedule request to your TiVo DVR. The next time your TiVo DVR connects to your TiVo service, it will schedule the request. Note: If your TiVo DVR connects to TiVo service using a phone line, it can take up to 36 hours; a broadband connection, however, sends requests every hour.

What are the benefits from a shaker hood?

Its purpose is to increase performance at high speed by a 'ram air' effect, delivering high pressure air to the engine. Unfortunately engines draw air in hundreds of cubic feet per minute so scoops are not practical to raise intake pressures significantly. Other benefits of a shaker hood include, elevation to prevent water from being drawn on flooded terrain, a cooler source of air, and a more direct path to the engines throttle plate. Because of the high volume of air that engines draw, rain, even a downpour, cannot cause significant damage/wear to the engine.

Why you have no sound when recording with the rca input sound on the toshiba DVD recorder dr6?

What are some things to look out for when filming video from a helicopter?

Some things to watch out for:

Filming through glass often causes a loss of contrast and clarity, so if possible, use an open window.

Helicopters go up a long way. Make sure that the camera is strapped to avoid dropping it. Dropping a camera from a helicopter does it no good at all and might give someone a really bad headache if it lands on them.

Distances are likely to be greater than usual so expect to be using the telephoto end of the zoom. This adds another problem of vibration. Helicopters suffer from vibration and ideally, a mechanical stabilizer should be used. Steadycam make a range of high end mounts but there are many others that will help to overcome the vibrations and assist with a stable image.

Finally, be nice to the pilot. A co-operative pilot can make the cameraman's job much easier by getting to the right positions. Upset the pilot and say goodbye to any worthwhile shots.

Can you insist a witness or a tape recorder be present between your boss and you?

The days of smuggling in an awkward unreliable tape recorders are over and the equipment you might consider has now been replaced by sleek cell phones and other digital recording device these days, making the prospect of surreptitiously recording your wacky boss's ranting a lot more appealing.

Bureaupat has known several staff who have recorded conversations at work without the other party having knowledge of it, which does not violate Federal law. However, many states have laws which prohibit it such as California and Maryland.

But your question seems to imply that you aren't interested in going all secret agent and don't want to do this covertly. This is good--your overt approach and insistence on a witness is more subject to state laws and agency policy than anything else--and it will be more administrative law for the most part.

A witness may be present at most meetings---and that is often a policy of both public and private organizations to avoid any misinterpretations of misuse of things. If a tape recorder is used, it should be done with permission of both parties--but also creates a chilling effect on the process. This might not be a bad thing, it can just turn things into a rather formal inquiry, rather a discussion.

Worst case, if your departmental/agency employee handbook provides that tape recordings may not be made of meetings, that the employee many not bring somebody in during a discussion, etc. and if those types of issues have been upheld--then they are hard to beat. But many of these provisions may undergo transformation if and when they are challenged for violating due process.

The current Supreme Court will be divided on this---to be sure!

While you can not refuse a meeting with your boss, you can ask that third party be present. Again check with your Human Resource office to find out the specifics of your agency's policy, especially the refusal of supervisor to have a third-party present.

It is Bureuapat's position that employees and managers should never tape record telephone or personal conversations without knowledge and approval of the other person. Even then, I strongly discourage its use because by tape recording the other party to a conversation, even with his or her consent, you are implicitly accusing the other party of being a liar. This hinders healthy labor-management relations. But inviting a third party (e.g., your employee relations specialist) , especially in difficult situations will hopefully ensure a civil meeting.

What do you need to record TV shows from the TV?

A video recorder, a recordable DVD machine or computer.

Most commercially available recorders have a tuner built in, so you can select the channel and record it.

Most modern TV's have an output socket in the form of RCA sockets, SCART or HDMI.

Match the correct sockets with those on the recorder with suitable patch leads.

Set the recorder to input from the correct socket and hit record.

Computers need a video capture card or device or a TV tuner dongle. Software is normally supplied.

What kind of night vision is available on a camera?

"Most night vision cameras have what is called infrared night vision. When you are taping something at night, it shows heat as a different color. There is also thermal."

A2

Most modern hand held video cameras have a night mode. This uses an LED Infrared floodlight, mounted on the front of the camera. (Ususally behind a red lens cover).

This lights up the subject at close range, with infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye. All video cameras are sensitive to infrared (they can see the light put out by a remote control). Night mode is usually in monochrome, black and white or green and white.

Balanced means that the audio signal is going evenly to each channel. (Left and Right)
Unbalanced means that the audio signal is going unevenly to channel. Balanced audio means that neither signal carrying wire is used for the ground. The ground is a separate conductor. Most of these audio cables have 3 wires inside. Unbalanced means that one of the signal carrying wires is also is used for ground thus a 2 wire cable.
