Remote PVR on Slimline S5380t works not properly

I have had this PC (Slimline S3580t with TV tuner) for a few weeks now and I'm having problems with the PVR remote control. It is difficult to operate reliably. Point the remote control at the Slimline PC and press on and nothing happens, I get closer and try different directions before taking command. But there are times where I try again later on, and everything works fine... I can open Windows Media Center, access Live TV, record TV, see my photos, music everything. But most the time it does not work... very frustrating

I tried already and I replaced new batteries from that the supplied remote control in and I don't see the remote red light when I press one of the buttons. Also I removed all the plastic protective covering the face of the Slimline just to make sure that nothing interferes with the IR signal.

Some info on my installation. I have the Slimline S5380t integreated in my Home Theatre with HDMI and a Mediaboard bluetooth wireless keyboard. I see no reason the keyboard bluetooth interfere with the IR signal.

Any help is appreciated. I want to get this working so I can reprogam this with my harmony remote is remote.

I finally solved this problem with the help of the TGB. The problem was the IR receiver on the Slimline overloaded with interference by my 52 "LCD TV. To resolve this problem, I cut a small strip of floppy and taped this in front of the Slimlne. This reduces interference and does the job remotely and the IR receiver can receive signals.

To make the much better fix, I took off the face of the slimline, applied the disk inside and on the IR receiver and replaced the rear. In this way the media saved on diskette are hidden. Worked like a charm!

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

  • Manual lens correction works not properly.

    I am trying to correct the perspective of an image in lightroom or in the vertical and horizontal manual lens corrections are not working properly, they are extending to the image in a weird way. I used these cursors repeatedly but I don't know why sometimes, they stretch the image. Here's a video that shows the effect of cursors: Lightroom: manual lens correction works not properly - YouTube. I would like your opinion on this is that you know how I can solve this problem. Thank you

    Controls LR Vertical and Horizontal Correction lens are designed to 'fix' the perspective distortion. What is the perspective of "normal"?

    Normal lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Lenses wide angle move the vanishing points more far and telephoto lenses get the close.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_%28photography%29

    LR Vertical and Horizontal controls use the focal length and camera metadata from the image file and adjust the image based on its effective focal length. A goal of 200mm if on a 1.5 crop body factor has an effective focal length of 300mm, resulting in an extreme telephoto perspective. That's why you see more "stretch" the image when you adjust the Vertical control, with a focal length lenses below)<>

    The image file video YouTube has vertical converging vertical very light, slight clockwise rotation and distortion in light pad. You should be able to correct the image for parallel verticals with small values of Vertical and Rotation adjustment. I suggest using "Activate profile Corrections" (profile tab) to fix the small amount of lens distortion.

    So always questions please post the image file on Dropbox or other filesharing site and I'll take a look. Thank you.

  • HP envy 15-j104sl: display not working not properly

    Hello

    I have a Hp Envy 15-j104sl, unfortunately after a fall, the screen does not work properly: sometimes, the left part or the entire display turns white and it is impossible to use it unless I move the screen / hinges in another post.
    The glass is not broken, I think the problem may be in the base/hinges lower/some other type of contact works not very well.

    I am really disappointed with the online Hp support: I can't find location to send my laptop for repair, and I can't even call help if I have my warranty has expired.

    It's a bad display cable or possibly the display panel. It's going to not need a repair by a technician. Where do you live (country)? I'm not clear if you say your warranty is or has not expired?

  • Since the update with OS 10.11.6, flash not working not properly

    Just got a new Mac Book Pro, new on mac in general. Had a video to play on a Web site but didn't work not, downloaded Chrome, worked well. Then made the update to OS 10.11.6 (not), and the video does not work (it says: cannot load the Flash plug-in). Made sure plugin has been enabled in my Chrome. Tried to download Flash himself, tried to remove Chrome and Flash and download Chrome still once, nothing works. Now for some reason, it works... What is (and was) happening... Someone has an idea? THX!

    -Chrome has built in Flash.

    -Safari does not come with Flash and use Flash with Safari, you need to download and install Flash

    So this is why worked chrome and Safari worked after downloading and installing Flash. Make sure you just threw always get Flash from the Adobe website.  Once you install Flash from Adobe it has also installed a Flash preferences panel in system preferences and yo can update Flash from here

    People with MS by pushing the Win10 updated weekly, it is not uncommon for a working PC suddenly that things stop working.

  • Lenovo x120e keyboard works not properly

    I have a Lenovo x120e, I bought a couple of years. Last Friday, I started to have problems with the keyboard. The first question was that the computer was save my CTRL key was pressed continuously. A single reboot did not fix this. However, by using the onscreen keyboard, I could get the computer to recognize possibly CTRL key was indeed not and my keyboard seems to work correctly again.

    However, from Sunday, I started having new problems and have not been able to solve. Specifically, the keys g and h do not work (although sometimes, if the onscreen keyboard is up as well, they will register as 5 and 6, respectively). Other keys around the Board work not (apostrophe, 5 and 6, some function keys). The on-screen keyboard works perfectly fine, as does a USB keyboard (I currently use).
    I tried the following, and none of them have helped:
    (1) virus and malware scan - nothing came (analysis complete, not just "fast")
    (2) check the performance of the equipment (an OEM utility) - no problem
    3) updated keyboard driver
    (4) uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard driver
    5) restore to a restore point Windows before initial issue last Friday
    (6) restart in Mode safe without the attached external keyboard - same keys always had the same problems.
    So now I wonder if it's a hardware problem or a software (driver or OS) one. As I see it, my two possible options are:
    (1) If a problem with the hardware, at least try to clean and if necessary replace the keyboard
    (2) the software, wipe the computer and reinstall Windows. All my data is stored externally, while it would be annoying, is not a major issue to do this.
    I want to just make sure you choose the right course. Someone saw in which of them is most likely necessary remedy. Or if I missed a possible way to fix this without one of these last ditch effort, I would be grateful for more information.
    Thanks to you all.

    Hello Andrew,.

    I would agree that it's a hardware problem. At the same time, if you want "good" do an OS reinstall, you have nothing to lose but some time and effort.

    Kind regards
