    Best way to duplicate DTV HD DVR to 2 TVs

    Thats true. But I also forgot to mention that I had a Pioneer receiver in the mix as well. Turns out that it will allow me to take the component output to the 2nd TV while still having the HDMI to my primary TV. So although my original idea didn't work, the Pioneer appears to work for me, at...

    Elk, e-mail, and Bluebottle - Help?

    I can't seem to get this working correctly so I was hoping someone here could help. I have a bluebottle email account all setup. In the Elk's M1XEP I have the server URL set to "mail.bluebottle.com", the From address as my account full address, the username as my full e-mail address, and the pw...

    Best way to duplicate DTV HD DVR to 2 TVs

    I had found a bunch of those but was looking for something less expensive. The only thing that spurred me to get the two new TVs was being able to get them for $200 ea from Fry's on Black Friday. I'd prefer to find a solution that costs less than the TVs :rolleyes: I guess I shoulda titled the...

    Best way to duplicate DTV HD DVR to 2 TVs

    I currently have two areas where I have a main TV but also am putting in a Samsung 19" HD LCD in a secondary area. In one area I have the DirecTV HD DVR and in the other I still have my Tivo HD (HR10-250). For area 1, I need to feed a duplicate video signal approx 55' (+/- 5' for getting to...

    Recommended low-profile HDMI cards?

    No one local had any low profile cards, all full-height. I just ordered a MSI 8500GT card from ClubIt with onboard HDMI. Now just need to find a low profile bracket for it.

    Recommended low-profile HDMI cards?

    Just got a new Dell low-profile box that i'm setting up for Media Center as well as to be a CQC server for easy control of some components. Only problem is that I now need either a low-profile video card with either HDMI or a DVI->HDMI adapter. Any recommendations for a decently priced one? The...

    Aprilaire THE thermostat choice?

    I would strongly recommend Aprilaire. The RCS t-stats are good, but I found Aprilaire service and support to dramatically superior. They are very responsive and helpful. Even when I was trying to get the RCS to work in my situation they were helping with ideas. I bought Aprilaire after that...

    "ETHERNET TROUBLE" multiple times/day in ELK Logs

    When I look at the logs for my M1G I see multiple entries of ETHERNET TROUBLE followed immediately by ETHERNET RESTORE. Is this related to CQC or is it something with the ELK? I'm on HW ver 0.11, Boot ver 3.2.2, firmware 4.4.12. The M1EXP is firmware 1.2.8 and bootware 1.1.4.

    Ebay and Nuvo items

    Yup, thats what they told me. They said warranty is only from authorized retailers. Looks like I'll be giving you a call on Monday to see what you can do for me.

    Ebay and Nuvo items

    I guess I'm still not clear on whether there is a warranty on the purchases through e-bay. What does Nuvo require for proof of purchase and do they require it to be an authorized dealer? I'll give Martin an e-mail and see what he says, but these prices on e-bay seem hard to beat if there is a...

    Ebay and Nuvo items

    Hope this is an appropriate forum for this post. Anyone bought a Nuvo Grand Concerto from an e-bay seller? I see a bunch of them including keypads for a really low price. Does Nuvo provide a warranty on these? or only for purchases from a licensed retailier? Seems like purchasing with a credit...

    Voice Gone

    Have to admit I didn't check the keypads. Figured since my 'chime' thats missing it the voice announcement from the ELK, that it must be an RP setting. Oops. enabled on a keypad and now its all back.

    Voice Gone

    Was there any resolution to this? I only recently upgraded and now I've lost all my voice announcments and apparently all chimes. The only voice announcement I get now is the one for arming/disarming. None of my chimes are working. Any suggestions?

    ELK Reporting extra zones when triggering alarm

    OK, this is really odd. After having FIOS installed I wanted to test to make sure ELK could still talk to NextAlarm. So, I put my NextAlarm acct in test mode. Then i arm the ELK and go to trigger the motion sensor in a hallway. Alarm goes off as expected and I immediately disarm system. Then, I...

    Nokia 770 Mobile Internet Tablet

    You should be able to get the 770s for under $200. Just got a brand new one from woot.com. Turns out I won't be using it since I went with a 15" touchscreen in the kitchen, so PM me if interested.

    Anyone doing dual-fuel heating systems?

    I'm ok with it being dependent on my ELK. I'm just not sure how to wire it up. I'm guesing there are two control wires coming out of the thermostat and I'd basically use two relays controlled by the ELk. I'd want them to default to the gas furnace in case I lose power or the Elk stops working...
