just an update the phone is still working grate no freezes just don’t have more then two copy’s run of skype running with the same account on the same ip it messes up the phone remember the phone counts as one. I have no try it yet but you may be able to get around this problem by adding a static ip in your router to each device (phone or computer)

mainesoundman – I had to do the same thing with my phone. The phone wanted to update every time I would log out or restart. Disabling the updates took care of the problem.

Hi, Thanks for this. I was trying to use the screen saver to lock the screen, running the system vnc server and manually switching the user at login. Your setup of running a port per user will work a treat!

However I can’t agree with the use of Chicken of the VNC. While JollyFastVNC maybe in development it’s functions and performance is in another league compared to Chicken.

Update I think i found the problem it may be that the automatic software update is freezing the program because when i turn it off the problem went away. the only other thing that i changed was i add a password to the phones long on page this is done by putting the phones ip in to a browser your ip is under Menu/Setting/Network. Ok user name is admin password is blank. here you can change the password. now to change the automatic software update setings go to Menu/Advanced/Software updates and click no. You can still check for updates by going to General settings/Software updates.

bob - You wouldn't choose anything other than antenna on the digital converter box. You use the digital converter box to receive your local PBS stations. Your basic cable signal is already digital and does not need to be converted. JOSE PAYANO - YOU CAN VISIT THE DIGITAL STREAM WEBSITE AND USE THEIR CONTACT FORM AND ASK THEM IF YOU CAN PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE FROM THEM.

how do I select a channel input other than “antennae” on my dtx9950?

The guys at the cable company say I should pick up a couple of digital pbs stations on my basic cable (no cable box) with a digital converter.

The unit doesn’t detect any signal at all with the “antennae” input slected.
