Re: Apple TV
At this time, I don't have it set up, because I had to get a replacement for my cablebox. You see, when a frind of mine got it plugged in, my cablebox wouldn't work. I don't know if the box failed because she plugged the Apple TV into it, or not. I hope that shouldn't effect it though. - Original Message - From: Steve Jacobson steve.jacob...@visi.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2014 12:31 AM Subject: Re: Apple TV Please explain more what you mean. The Apple TV is an input to your regular TV so it does not interfere with what you watch on your regular TV. The Apple TV only received programming from the internet so it does not receive cable channels directly. However, I'm not sure I answered your question.

For example, you can search for and watch a lot on YouTube, and there is a radio option that has a good number of options as well. There is a lot that can be watched on PBS as well. While not free, the $7.99 a month Netflix streaming option let's you watch a lot of stuff on your Apple TV without paying for each program.

You will need an Apple ID, but you don't need to pay to get that. While Dane is correct that there are restrictions, the big one being that accessing your personal music must be done through iTunes, there are home sharing options that let you access music from another computer on your network that provide some flexibility. I have found the Netflix interface to be much nicer than accessing it through a computer. It would be interesting to know how Raspberry Pie handles that.

Generally, you can pay to get some programming and you can get some for free, but there aren't really apps as such. You will have to select which input you want to be watching on your TV, and that isn't always simple on some TV's but can usually be mastered.

RE: Apple TV
Ok let me see if I can figure this out. I just got Apple TV last month and I had an interesting time getting it set up because I was new to the whole hd thing. I started by not having an HDMI tv. So when I got Apple tv it was completely useless. I found an HDMI port on my cable box and thought HDMI could be input or output, turned out they only go one way. So I needed a tv with HDMI connections no matter how I sliced it. I even looked around for a box that converts HDMI in to RCA to keep using my old tv. So after buying an hd tv, it has a few HDMI inputs. So now when I want to watch cable I press HDMI1 and when I want to watch apple tv I push HDMI 2 on my remote.

I will put these steps down first and then explain more. 1. I press the letter q to make sure cuing is on. 2. 2. I then press the spacebar to start the sound byte playing. 3. 3. Next, I would hold down the left shift key and arrow to the right. 4. Sound forge would play the sound byte as I move to the right, stopping when I stop arrowing. However, now in order to hear where my selection has stopped, I have to listen through the whole section that has been selected. This takes up much more time. I am not sure what has gotten unchecked or changed and am hoping someone on this list does. So simply put, I once could just select the sound and soundforge would just play the selected data. If I stopped arrowing, sound would stop immediately. If I moved the arrow right or left, sound would respond immediately with the new stopping place. I hope I explained my question. I would be glad to share my phone off list withsomeone if they are willing to help out. It is probably something I accidently checked off or on. Thanks for reading this long email.

Re: Apple TV
I think you would be better off to use an HDMI input on the TV, maybe you have to buy an HDMI to analog converter for an older set, and things would be less confusing for you.

Re: The Bowers And Wilkins A7 airPlay System
Those reviewers who went in to detail did talk about having the unit close to the router and/or trying other units in the same position with no problems and/or mentioned the quality of the connection in terms of the speed. Not all did that. Some did all those things. It seemed to be enough different people, some of whom did go in to some detail to make me suppose that there really is a problem with BW's implementation of airplay.

Re: The Bowers And Wilkins A7 airPlay System
Thanks for that. For my part its good that people are bothering to review equipment, I do it myself smile but I generally make a point of reading manuals and looking at FAQ and there are a lot of people who just expect things to work by default as soon as they're plugged in and switched on, if only life itself were that simple smile. Supposing I had a Bowers And Wilkins A7 and supposing I had airPlay problems, well that alone wouldn't deter me, there could be many reasons for those, Wireless Congestion in your area being one and its quite possible that the user may not be able to do anything about that, thankfully I'm in an area where tere are no more than 4 networks including mine and I'm able to check this with my router which can do a scan but then again, not all routers can. So Wi-fi won't work and what do I do, put it back in the box and send it back? Certainly not! time to examine other options are here a a few off the top of my head which will make sure I get good use out of the unit. Firstly, the Bowers And Wilkins A7 has a Ethernet port on the back of so the easiest thing to do would be to connect it to the router but I do appreciate that this is not always practical but on the other hand we're not dealing with a portable piece of equipment here so its most likely that once you've put the A7 into position then that's where its likely to stay. Another option is to use a Power Line connection, you can get devices that use your power wiring in your house as your home network, you buy these units in pairs I.E. you plug one into your router and one into the Bowers And Wilkins A7, switch on and the devices start communicating. I have other options but there just a few.

Re: Apple TV
Gary, The Apple TV must be plugged into an HDMI input. If your cable box lets you switch between inputs as a few do, this should work. Still, you have to be more specific if our answers are going to mean anything. How is your cable box connected to your TV? Does your cable box have an HDMI input as well as an HDMI output? Does your TV have multiple HDMI inputs assuming that one is being used by your cable box? If you are not sure of all this, you will need to get someone who is familiar with these kinds of connections to give you a hand. There are other variables as well, just too many to guess at. Cable boxes can generally be connected to a TV by HDMI, other analog cables, or using an RF coaxial cable putting its signal on a TV chanel, but this last is not generally used on newer TV's. Some cable boxes have the ability to add extra inputs, usually for games, and an apple TV could be plugged into such an input if it is an HDMI input. TV's themselves often have more than one input, often to accommodate a DVD player, or games, etc. an Apple TV could go there as well if the input is an HDMI input. If a TV is not an HD TV and if it doesn't have HDMI inputs, one can buy converters as mentioned before that will allow an Apple TV to be plugged into older style inputs. To figure this out, though, one has to have an idea of how it needs to be approached and what is available on a particular TV and Cable box. It is really very similar to figuring out how you would connect another input device such as a VCR or video game except that the Apple TV only has an HDMI output for audio and video. There is another Optical audio input that could be used to connect to an audio system, but that's separate from the cable box issue.

Re: More airPlay Devices
Here are some specs for the unit. This Tompson system is a 2.1 channel system meaning it has your stereo channels plus a sub-woofer, - 1 sub-woofer, 2 tweeters and 2 passive radiators to be exact -. Total power output is 60 watts RMS - 15 per channel and the remaining for the sub-woffer - so the unit will easily fill an average sized room with sound. The system is all in one unit and comes with airPlay connectivity, Bluetooth Connectivity, USB connection for other devices and an Aux-In 3.5MM socket. Looking at these specs again, they're not too bad for $150 but the test will come when I actually receive the thing some time next week, can tell you more about it then.

Yes, its available in Australia though I don't think the service on the Apple TV is quite the same as that available on your Computer, iPhone etc, with those editions you can create your own stations whereas with the version available through the Apple TV you can only listen to predifined channels, have to play a little more.

To be fair, the article came out quite some time ago before that update was available. There are quite a few other things the Evaluation missed however that's not really the point, the point being that people can read the article to find out how the Apple TV works, what it does, how it connects, what's accessible and so on.

Hi! Ok. Maybe i am lucky then. But i can not answer calls or end calls on skype with my headset.

For example, the Logitech Squeezebox Boom Duet, and Radio units I have are absolutely first class. I bought a pair of Logitech USB headphones and the damn things fell to bits, the cord started curling and eventually perrished. I bought a Logitech Bluetooth Boombox and found to my annoyance that they'd cheapened it, whilst it sounded very nice on power it sounded bloody awful on its rechargeable battery, only about a quarter of the power for the amps on battery compared to what you'd get with power. Articles in computer related journals of late have highlighted how Logitech are further cheapening their range so that can only mean less quality control, more shortcuts etc. I've bought a couple more Logitech devices that I could tell you about but I think that's enough to illustrate my point smile. Its a shame because - as I've already stated - some of the stuff that company produced was absolutely top notch, even their airPlay speaker sounds God Damn Awful.

Speaking of leaving the list, I'd like to know how I can do just that. There is no link at the end of list messages for managing subscription, and I don't know how to get to a moderator except by responding on list. I'm not leaving based on this thread. I just haven't found time to read even the messages on software I use. I've also thought of discussing Mac software like Amadeus, and somehow felt funny about bringing it up on the PC audio list. I suspect Mac audio would eventually be embraced, maybe the list even broaden to accommodate for that. I'll take an audio break for the time being. I hope the moderators will not remove me from this list for posting something off topic. Rather I'd like to know how I can manage my own subscription. Each would produce the intended result of unsubscribing me, though.

accessible skype call recording software
Hello fellow pc-audio list members: Is there a software program that's friendly with a screen reader, that I can use to record Skype calls? I'm looking for something, that will start recording automatically, when either the answer button is pressed, or when the alt-page up hotkey is used, and then stop recording, when the call is ended when either myself or the person I'm talking to presses either the (end call) button or the iquivilent hotkey (alt page down.) As for recording format, I'd like to get my hands on a program that will record in mp3 format and that will allow me to disable automatic recording, for times when I don't want to record calls. Does such a program exist? Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: accessible skype call recording software
Hi! I'm sending this in a separate reply to the original eMail on this subject, in my original reply I sent a link to the tutorial which describes how Total Recorder can be set up to record Skype and other Internet/VOIP Telephony. In this eMail I'd like to refer to another way of recording Skype calls, if you have a Mac you can use Audio Hijack Pro, all you need do is run the App and select the Record From Skype template and tweak to your requirements. When the Hijack mode from Record To Skype is enabled a Skype call will be recorded whenever Audio Hijack Pro detects any audio activity from Skype. Further to this Audio Hijack Pro is fully compatible with Apple Automator Scripts and workflows therefore offering further enhancement and automation of the Skype recording process, you could for example have a Skype call recorded an automatically put into an iTunes playlist, have the call logged or archived etc, its all down to your imagination. Automator Scripts and workflows are easily put together through the Apple Automator Application which forms part of OSX Mavericks and earlier OSX Operating Systems.
