Hello guys it maight be a stupid question but I must ask
I have wireless router in my office with a network printer directly connected to it so all the pcs can use it, so is there som application that can permit me to add a printer to my qtek 9100 or to let me send files to the printer. In general is there a way to print directly from my PDA via the wireless network that i connect to.
10x very much in advance.
Hi,
I saw a video recently about how an unrooted N1 can be used as a remote (for Logitech Rouve). I am curious to know how exactly that works, and whether we can develop our own remotes like that?
My guess is, its somehow using RF ... am I wrong in assuming this? I want to know whether there is a way (or, if someone can direct me in the right direction) to make a nexus one act as a RF transmitter by attaching some piece of small hardware (either DIY or bought from somewhere else).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!!
Remote controls of home equipment work by IR.
Nexus doesn't have IR. It can remotely control stuff by connecting through WiFi or BT, and assuming there's SW running on both sides that will make the control possible.
You can't transmit RF in any way, unless it's WiFi or BT. And you can't connect anything to Nexus, unless it's a USB host, or unless you run USB host drivers on Nexus and have a specific supported USB device that you connect.
N1 -> wifi > Rouve > tv
So there is a program called sixaxis ( http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/index.html ) made by dancing pixel studios. It allows the pairing of android devices with ps3 controllers. Apparently, it is incompatible with all HaichTC devices and some newer samsung devices, ours in particular.
The supposed reason for this is due to incompatible bluetooth protocol. Oddly enough, the website states that the Cyanogenmod ROM carries the appropriate bluetooth protocols.
Is anyone familiar with bluetooth enough that they could help me down the rabbit hole to solving this problem?

As for OP's question, you need two parts:
1. Specific BT protocol support required by the PS3 controller. Samsung are notorious for shipping only the bare mininum BT protocols. You need to find a custom ROM that specifically supports the protocol.
2. Kernel driver for PS3 controller. It's not part of the standard feature delivered by official ROMs.
All in all, if you want to use console controllers, there are custom ROMs out there for that purpose.
I want to set up my PC as a TV and DVR, what's the best way to do this? I have a cable outlet right beside the PC, I know I could get a TV Tuner card but I know nothing about them at all and there are so many it's confusing. Hauppage(sp?) seems to be the most popular but are they any good? Are there any questions I should be asking myself before I chose? Any help would be much appreciated. Is there a better option altogether? I've searched the internet but it's basically an information overload, no good guides can be found for all the 5 year old junk
tuner you get depends on what software (dvr software) you want to run, what you want to do, and how fast your computer is.
things to know:
some with one tuner and some with 2
some with only OTA and some with QAM (unencrypted cable), some do both
hauppauge has pci/pci-e cards as well as usb
HDhomerun has several models, 2 tuner OTA/QAM, 4* tuner cable card, etc
Ceton has a 4, and a 6?, tuner card
some of these have hardware encoders, some dont (slower computers will need encoding otherwise it will be choppy, audio dropouts)
You should first figure out exactly what type of signal is coming in on that cable. Does your area still have analog cable service (my area does, but I think that's getting more scarce), or is it digital only? Are there any clear-QAM channels (which are usually just the local networks) or is it all encrypted? If it's only digital and encrypted channels that you're interested in, then you need something that can take a CableCARD.
After that, it's all about what software you want to run and how many tuners you require.
You may be better off just using a combo of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video and Bittorrent.
Otherwise you haven't given us any of your specs to be able you help you out. What type of PC do you have? Windows/Linux/Mac... Processor/RAM/HD, also like others have noted are you going for Over the Air signal, analog or Digital Cable, standard def or HD. Are you going to be using a set top box or going for a cable card(very expensive option). Give us as much detail as possible if you want competent answers.
As for using your PC as a TV and PVR, I'd recommend using XBMC to turn it into a Home Theater PC (HTPC). The site, LifeHacker, does an XBMC/HTPC guide every few months. You would still need to buy hardware like a TV tuner but XBMC does a lot on the software end.
Also, if you use XBMC, you can use your Nook Color (assuming you at least have rooted it and have access to the Andoid Market) to control the XBMC software via the XBMC remote app.
Here is a guide that lifehacker did. It's a little old but the basics are still relevant and correct. http*://lifehacker.*com/5536963/the-ultimate-start-to-finish-guide-to-your-xbmc-media-center (remove the asterisks)
What everyone else has said -- need more info on what you have, also what budget, and what cable setup.
I have an HTPC set up but it's for media streaming, not dvr recording.
One forum I found very helpful is the AVS forum (search in google), they have a sub-forum dedicated entirely to HTPCs.
Sorry for the lack on info didn't know that my PC specs mattered all that much. I am running:
Vista Home Premium, 64bit
Intel Core2 Quad CPU (Q9300 @2.5ghz)
4GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GT240
Appx. 600gb ofhard-drive space plus a 500gb permanent external USB. I can add more HD space if it becomes a problem.
Not sure if there is any other system info you guys need.
As for my cable I dunno for sure what signal I have, I have COMCAST if that helps anyone. Mainly I want this for recording sports. I can't always watch them live and it'd be nice to DVR them for later. I'd also use it for shows, but those I can always watch online later. Can't really watch sports later though. And I'd also like to be able to just normally watch TV on my computer. I'd like to be able to do something on monitor one while the other plays live TV. Sports or whatever.
Also, to this:
Are you going to be using a set top box or going for a cable card(very expensive option).

I am not sure what you mean. I was thinking you get the TV Tuner, install it in your PCIE slot, and watch TV on the PC. Do you need another device?

A basic TV tuner will only be able to pick up Over The Air signals and basic cable(very limited channel selection). If you want to be able to watch digital cable you'll need either a set top box or a cable card and cable card reader(like this one).
some nice basic tv tuners

I believe you have Windows Media Center included with your Windows version, it's probably going to be your best option for software.
Hi,
Thanks to SamyGo, Samsung SmartTV's can now be rooted and the box is now wide open for hacker community to better the platform. One such functionality still missing is the ability to use wireless audio streaming via built-in Bluetooth hardware which intentionally only allow streaming to Samsung Soundshare speakers, as posted at the SamyGo forum by me Samsung uses open-source BusyBox and "BCRM Bluetooth Linux Driver" (see GPL licenses from contact screen by pressing the red key) and I am sure someone from the hacking community guide us to what we need to get this sorted out.
Since, it's the same Broadcom chipset used by many other Samsung phones and we are talking about drivers for BusyBox I hope ROM makers should be able to guide us in the right direction.
Thanks
