"mc2xml is a small and fast standalone command line program for Windows/Linux/OSX that downloads media center, titantv, or schedules direct tv listings and outputs an XMLTV formatted (xmltv.dtd) .xml file. "

== Caveat ==

1)Some question of legality may arise,and concerns the vaguaries of the TOS for the ms listing service. IMHO it is no more questionable than the use of libdvdcs2 for dvd playback, BUT it's use, and compliance, are completely your own responsibility

follow the web-site instructions

== Summary ==

this is a very fast way of getting accurate and complete (compared to RadioTimes for sky digitalUK) listings,and initially setting up mythtv, as it does away with xmltv grabbers and automatically injects the channel line-up/freqIDs into the database with minimal setup,while being very flexible.

MAYBEONEDAY

==Intro==
Hi everybody,

52,damned handsome, (read damned,period)and declining rapidly, mentally & physiclly(not that the start point was so high anyway).
Plasterer/joiner/jobbing builder 'till 10 yrs ago when I "retired" thro a back problem.Tight fisted, impecunious, (ie skint)and an inveterate whinge (and wind)bag ; I was brought up on a diet of Arthur C. Clarke, and the BBC's "Tomorrows World", the moon landing and the decade of promise, the '60s:A Commodore C64 emasculated me (as far as computing was concerned-too many peeks,
and as a teenager I was more interested in pokes !) then came an IBM ps2-genuine,complete with MCA and 2meg of ram....£50 later and an extra 2meg it FLEW.....for 30 seconds at a time , untill BSOD

STILL, win3.11 AND A MOUSE !!!! what a godsend for a bloke with fat fingers !
10 years on, I still get disappointed :- even the present Q6600 ISN'T Hal....
hence the name....
Maybeoneday....it will be like Hal,or even better have a "Eureka" moment and be a Sarah (untill now all my pc's have been more like the one in "Dark Star"

Having built a few (50+) windows boxes,I decided it was time to actually get one or two to actually do some usefull work, and having allways had a dream of getting all media on one pc,and having abandoned my 2 ,yes 2, All-in wonders to the spares box long ago,I lumped up for some decent kit and gave Vista a whirl,then myth,followed rapidly by numerous others:

THEN I SAW THE VIDEO......IT WAS THE DAY

15 months later,I still know next to nothing , and each little advance I make seems like I've climbed everest, BUT what a rush ! (did I mention I was a sad old man !)
Life story over...for now.
=KIT=
(all in flux)

Intel q6600

=SIPGATE.CO.UK=

=='''CAVEAT'''==
:1)this guide is what worked for me, It is intentionally "dumbed down" because.
::a) I have no indepth knowledge and,
::b)it's intended for the totally virgin Windows' refugee with negligible cli experience and limited typing skills

:2)If it insults your intelligence, and you get nothing from it '''GOOD'''...it means you've been lucky enough to have gained a fair amount of knowledge....'''USE''' it & when you've found the answer to your problem, '''PLEASE''' come back & share it with us lesser mortals

:3)All credit for any accuracy goes to Zaerc and Colinjones
:4)I've cut and pasted most of the material,and hopefully credited the sources, :if not, my apologies for plaugiarising your work.
:5) ALL errors are mine, please do not repeat them without giving me credit : )
* ASSUMPTIONS uk user, ISP= British TelecoN, router/modem= BT.HomeHub, dynamic IP address (section on static should work but I can't test) ......you may have to modify for any other combination

==''''''PREPARE''''''==

::READ, READ , READ....check out the links at the end for good starting points
*get fixed in your mind that "external ip"in all(?) mon-LMCE docs means the internet isp provided ip.NOT the ip of your Hybrid's "external" nic, ie the one that connects to the router
*get a pen &paper....make a clear note of settings as you go along ...DON'T trust to memory....
*bookmark usefull sites...open atleast four tabs in firefox for: google, pluto web admin,forums, homeHub adminpage, and put their bookmarks on the toolbar,don't close tabs/firefox on shutdown/reloads ....restore last session when you restart firefox.
* beware of hidden html code when cutting/pasting
'''

=='''GET INFO'''==

=='''voip provider'''==

*google "free voip" to find a provider, preferably free, pay as you go, free phone No. .. in your preffered region, according to your anticipated usage .. #check out the forums at VOXILLA for uptodate good/bad guys ...
::I chose SIPGATE>CO>UK 'cos it ticked all the boxes and there is some barebones wiki material/and a ready made trunk allready.
:::Register ,print off your details,.. your loginP/wd/user name for the website are NEVER used in any of this setup ...you'll need the 7 digit numeric sipID (usernam trunk id ), 7 digit sip password, the only place the actual localDID is used is for caller ID ?????CHECK????

*IF YOU CAN..-.beg, borrow, or steal, a windows laptop and install Xlite from spgate/settigs/help centre--it comes pre configured, - test the connection out. ::TEST IN and OUT using landline/mobile ....bear in mind the Sipgate online status page is '''only valid at login''' time.so you may have to log out and back in to check your installation's registration.

=='''Dynamic DNS'''==

Choose a Dynamic domain name sever provider , loads on google, get a free one,
*READ help/howtos
::(I chose DynDNS ,free , well known and it makes life a bit easier later) READ the instructions -
::* register -- wait for login e-mail (2 mins)
::* choose any (host)name for your hybrid,choose an extension eg. homeip.net-- take the wild card option,
::*--set IP type either static/dynamic..set ttl according to IP type.....
::*find the providers test apps and follow instructions,
:::TEST name resolution ,
:::CHECK for any blocked ports, make a note of current dynamic IP address.

=='''BT HomeHub'''==

* Does your internet connection have a static or a dynamic ip address ?
::If it's dynamic (most domestic BT BROADBAND) and you don't begrudge them the extra £5 pcm you pay for the privelige,get them to change it to static.wait for notificatin/check in HOMEHUB that it's in effect. It will make installation simpler, and allegedly is more reliable than alternatives.
::........at the same time get them to disable their own voip service, '''and''' do it yourself as well ,-if you are using their supplied HomeHub........

::::login => advanced => telephony=> uncheck the "enable telephony " box (no idea if the textphone option has an impact.)
'''YOU MUST disable BT BROADBAND TALK'''
:::: while youre in Hub admin, go into IP Adresses and note the range of DHCP pool (mine is LAN_private 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.237 & Gateway (your HOMEHUB ) 192.168.1.254

"If the port values are any different, change them. N.B. These MUST match what you opened in your firewall, and DO NOT start with port 10000, because it conflicts with usage in FreePBX Webmin
Some people feel the need to open fewer than 10,000 ports. I don't recommend this because six months from now when you start having audio problems you may not remember that you opened fewer than the recommended number of ports, and may spend hours troubleshooting the issue. But if you are simply obsessive about open ports, remember that each open SIP connection may require as many as FOUR concurrent ports, so don't cut it down to some ridiculously small number. For the non-paranoid, I suggest sticking with the recommendations above (and remember, if a hacker is looking at ports on your system, he's going to scan ALL of them, so having fewer UDP ports open really doesn't make you any more secure)."

"If the port values are any different, change them. N.B. These MUST match what you opened in your firewall, and DO NOT start with port 10000, because it conflicts with usage in FreePBX Webmin
Some people feel the need to open fewer than 10,000 ports. I don't recommend this because six months from now when you start having audio problems you may not remember that you opened fewer than the recommended number of ports, and may spend hours troubleshooting the issue. But if you are simply obsessive about open ports, remember that each open SIP connection may require as many as FOUR concurrent ports, so don't cut it down to some ridiculously small number. For the non-paranoid, I suggest sticking with the recommendations above (and remember, if a hacker is looking at ports on your system, he's going to scan ALL of them, so having fewer UDP ports open really doesn't make you any more secure)."

=SIPGATE.CO.UK=

CAVEAT:
:1)this guide is what worked for me, It is intentionally "dumbed down" because.
::a) I have no indepth knowledge and,
::b)it's intended for the totally virgin Windows' refugee with negligible cli experience and limited typing skills

:2)If it insults your intelligence, and you get nothing from it '''GOOD'''...it means you've been lucky enough to have gained a fair amount of knowledge....'''USE''' it & when you've found the answer to your problem, '''PLEASE''' come back & share it with us lesser mortals

:3)All credit for any accuracy goes to Zaerc and Colinjones
:4)I've cut and pasted most of the material,and hopefully credited the sources, :if not, my apologies for plaugiarising your work.
:5) ALL errors are mine, please do not repeat them without giving me credit : )
* ASSUMPTIONS uk user, ISP= British TelecoN, router/modem= BT.HomeHub, dynamic IP address (section on static should work but I can't test) ......you may have to modify for any other combination

'''PREPARE''':

::READ, READ , READ....check out the links at the end for good starting points
*get fixed in your mind that "external ip"in all(?) mon-LMCE docs means the internet isp provided ip.NOT the ip of your Hybrid's "external" nic, ie the one that connects to the router
*get a pen &paper....make a clear note of settings as you go along ...DON'T trust to memory....
*bookmark usefull sites...open atleast four tabs in firefox for: google, pluto web admin,forums, homeHub adminpage, and put their bookmarks on the toolbar,don't close tabs/firefox on shutdown/reloads ....restore last session when you restart firefox.
* beware of hidden html code when cutting/pasting
'''

:::GET INFO
*google "free voip" to find a provider, preferably free, pay as you go, free phone No. .. in your preffered region, according to your anticipated usage .. #check out the forums at VOXILLA for uptodate good/bad guys ...
::I chose SIPGATE>CO>UK 'cos it ticked all the boxes and there is some barebones wiki material/and a ready made trunk allready.
:::Register ,print off your details,.. your loginP/wd/user name for the website are NEVER used in any of this setup ...you'll need the 7 digit numeric sipID (usernam trunk id ), 7 digit sip password, the only place the actual localDID is used is for caller ID ?????CHECK????

*IF YOU CAN..-.beg, borrow, or steal, a windows laptop and install Xlite from spgate/settigs/help centre--it comes pre configured, - test the connection out. ::TEST IN and OUT using landline/mobile ....bear in mind the Sipgate online status page is '''only valid at login''' time.so you may have to log out and back in to check your installation's registration.

* Does your internet connection have a static or a dynamic ip address ?
::If it's dynamic (most domestic BT BROADBAND) and you don't begrudge them the extra £5 pcm you pay for the privelige,get them to change it to static.wait for notificatin/check in HOMEHUB that it's in effect. It will make installation simpler, and allegedly is more reliable than alternatives.
::........at the same time get them to disable their own voip service, '''and''' do it yourself as well ,-if you are using their supplied HomeHub........

step1:

::::login => advanced => telephony=> uncheck the "enable telephony " box (no idea if the textphone option has an impact.)
'''YOU MUST disable BT BROADBAND TALK'''
:::: while youre in Hub admin, go into IP Adresses and note the range of DHCP pool (mine is LAN_private 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.237 & Gateway (your HOMEHUB ) 192.168.1.254

step3:

Choose a Dynamic domain name sever provider , loads on google, get a free one,
*READ help/howtos
::(I chose DynDNS ,free , well known and it makes life a bit easier later) READ the instructions -
::* register -- wait for login e-mail (2 mins)
::* choose any (host)name for your hybrid,choose an extension eg. homeip.net-- take the wild card option,
::*--set IP type either static/dynamic..set ttl according to IP type.....
::*find the providers test apps and follow instructions,
:::TEST name resolution ,
:::CHECK for any blocked ports, make a note of current dynamic IP address.

get a pen &paper....make a clear note of settings as you go along ...DON'T trust to memory....bookmark usefull sites...open atleast four tabs in firefox for: google, pluto web admin,forums, homeHub adminpage, and put their bookmarks on the toolbar,don't close tabs/firefox on shutdown/reloads ....restore last session when you restart firefox. beware of hidden html code when cutting/pasting

STEP ONE
google "free voip" to find a provider, preferably free, pay as you go, free phone No. .. in your preffered region, according to your anticipated usage .. check out the forums at VOXILLA for uptodate good/bad guys ...I chose SIPGATE>CO>UK 'cos it ticked all the boxes and there is some barebones wiki material/and a ready made trunk allready.:Register ,print off your details,.. your loginP/wd/user name for the website are NEVER used in any of this setup ...you'll need the 7 digit numeric sipID (usernam trunk id ), 7 digit sip password, the only place the actual localDID is used is for caller ID ?????CHECK????

IF YOU CAN..-.beg, borrow, or steal, a windows laptop and install Xlite from spgate/settigs/help centre--it comes pre configured, - test the connection out. TEST IN and OUT using landline/mobile ( GO ON " its good to talk" ..... TO YOURSELF) bear in mind the Sipgate online status page is only valid at login time.so you may have to log out and back in to check your installation's registration.

a) Does your internet connection have a static or a dynamic ip address ?
b)If it's dynamic (most domestic BT BROADBAND) and you don't begrudge them the extra £5 pcm you pay for the privelige,get them to change it to static.wait for notificatin/check in HOMEHUB that it's in effect It will make installation simpler, and allegedly is more reliable than alternatives.
c)........at the same time get them to disable their own voip service and do it yourself as well if you are using their supplied HomeHub.........login => advanced => telephony=> uncheck the "enable telephony " box (no idea if the textphone option has an impact.) YOU MUST disable BT BROADBAND TALK
d) while youre in Hub admin, go into IP Adresses and note the range of DHCP pool (mine is LAN_private 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.237 & Gateway (your HOMEHUB ) 192.168.1.254
e) go into Web (pluto) admin on your core/Hybrid,login (your password is whatever you entered as first user during initial AV wizard)

i)wizard/ basic/keyboard setup.. and select relevant country (if you haven't allready) ../ update button
ii)advanced/network/network settings .... change radio button to use a static IP address
iii)fill in cores/Hybrids ip address as 192.165.2.X where X is outside the private lan dhcp pool for e.g 250
subnetmask 255.255.255.0 gateway/dns1/dns2 all same as your HomeHubs address (probably) 192.168.1.254
press green UPDATE button

f) advanced/network/firewall rules... and use the boxes untill the rules look exactly like this,BE PATIENT & ACCURATE ....sometimes the progress bar seems to freeze ...leave it alone untill it's done it's thing

udp 4569 to 0 0 core_input Delete
udp 5060 to 0 0 core_input Delete
udp 2000 to 0 0 core_input Delete
tcp 2000 to 0 0 core_input Delete
tcp 3877 to 3877 3877 192.168.80.1 port_forward Delete
udp 10001 to 20000 0 0 core_input Delete
(port 4569 is iax protocol 5060 is sip 10001to 20000 carries the audio NB some docs say use 10000 rather than 10001 don't FreePBX uses that for it's web panel

Go to wizard/restart/reload router (not strictly necessary in this case but it is in others ,-get into the habit,- it doesn't cost you anything, besides, its time for tea/smoke /sex whatever takes your fancy.

CHOOSE a Dynamic domain name sever provider , loads on google, get a free one,(READ help/howtos) (I chose DynDNS ,free , well known and it makes life a bit easier later) READ the instructions - register -- wait for login e-mail (2 mins) choose any (host)name for your hybrid,choose an extension eg. homeip.net-- take the wild card option,--set IP type either static/dynamic..set ttl according to IP type.....find the providers test apps and follow instructions, TEST name resolution , CHECK for any blocked ports, make a note of current dynamic IP address.

GO BACK TO HOMEHUB
..admin/advanced/application sharing / create new game/Manual Entry of Port Maps (check)/......name(I used "sipserver")... click next, then, check the new name is correct

ENTER
protocl UDP from5060 to 5080 translate to 5060 Trigger protocol ANY Trigger Port leave blank ADD
protocl UDP from10000 to 20000 translate to 10001 Trigger protocol ANY Trigger Port leave blank ADD

CHECK SETTINGS its a PITA to do it later

Click APPLY

GOTO FIREWALL .. set at standard
GOTO DEVICES .. establish which entry is the HYBRID ,it SHOULD be the one at the IP youset for it earlier (if it shows a mac address, check in Pluto admin/network/network settings for a match)

CLICK EDIT

CHANGE name to the hostname you picked at DynDNS earlier,just the name not the (for e.g. .is-a-geek.net)
GAME or SERVICE dropdown ...... pick the application ( "sipserver") you created earlier..
CLICK ADD

NOTE if you need to edit the "application" in anyway you must first unassign it from your Hybrid, make the alterations, then remember to reassign it to the hybrid

GOTO ... pluto admin/wizard /devices/phone lines
..

1. Check When dialing a local number, automatically prepend the area code and specify the areacode you would like to have prepended when dialing a local number, for instance mine is 0114 (sheffield)
2. Uncheck Also prepend a digit (1 for US/Canada, 0 for Europe) (also optional).
3. Local Number Length 7 (the default).

# Hit the Update button.
# Choose provider sipgate (try for free, pay as you go)

1. Username <SipID from provider....>
2. Password SipPassword>
3. Phone number <SipID from provider... AGAIN......NOT the DID ie local number.>
4. Host <sipgate.co.uk>

4. Hit the Submit button.
5. Hit the Deactivate Automatic Configuration button, and the following Yes button.
6. Click the click here link (next to "Manual configuration activated. To configure AMP, click")
7. Click Trunks, and Trunk SIP/sipgate
8. Under "Outgoing Dial Rules" change Dial Rules to

112
999
0114+XXXXXXX
9|.

1.
1. This will recognize 112,999, the emergency numbers
2. Seven digit local numbers will get 0114 prepended.
3.
4
5. A nine will dial out no matter how many digits.
2. You now can (optionally) modify other settings to your liking as well, however do NOT change the Trunk Name (leave it at the default sipgate). When done hit Submit Changes.
3. Click Reload Required Apply Configuration Changes and Continue with reload.
4. Go back to Wizard > Devices > Phone Lines and hit the Activate Automatic Configuration button, followed by the Yes and keep my advanced settings button.

DYNAMIC ADDRESS

Make use that your system knows its own name.

####NEED TO CHECK/change file PERMISSIONS ????HOW

Once you get a DynDNS or other address that identifies your system on the Internet, put it in your etc/hosts file. For example, if you are assigned foo.dyndns.net, then open etc/hosts in your favorite text editor
I use joe...it's very simple....konsole/...........sudoapt-get install joe
joe /etc/hosts

(use UP, DOWN, LEFT RIGHT arrows to navigate, Ctrl k x to save Ctrl h for help)

127.0.0.1 localhost

DO NOT REMOVE OR CHANGE THAT LINE. On a NEW line directly underneath it, place this line:

127.0.0.1 foo.dyndns.net

But substitute YOUR address, of course......save & exit

Add some information to your /etc/asterisk/sip_nat.conf file

ALL

Check your /etc/asterisk/rtp.conf file

sudo joe /etc/asterisk/rtp.conf

It should contain these two lines:

rtpstart=10001

rtpend=20000

"If the port values are any different, change them. N.B. These MUST match what you opened in your firewall, and DO NOT start with port 10000, because it conflicts with usage in FreePBX Webmin
Some people feel the need to open fewer than 10,000 ports. I don't recommend this because six months from now when you start having audio problems you may not remember that you opened fewer than the recommended number of ports, and may spend hours troubleshooting the issue. But if you are simply obsessive about open ports, remember that each open SIP connection may require as many as FOUR concurrent ports, so don't cut it down to some ridiculously small number. For the non-paranoid, I suggest sticking with the recommendations above (and remember, if a hacker is looking at ports on your system, he's going to scan ALL of them, so having fewer UDP ports open really doesn't make you any more secure)."

save & exit

{{{EDIT PLEASE

PERL SCRIPT from/www.freepbx.org/support/documentation/howtos/howto-resolving-audio-problems

when i tried this it threw errors.....needs a linux man for this section}}}

YOU'RE ALMOST DONE !

exit Konsole
GOTO ... pluto admin/wizard /advanced/config./phone setup

if the orange bar is showing in FreePBX click it
GOTO pluto admin/wizard/restart/ click reboot

GET TEA...(smoke/ have sex etc)

pickup cell/landline
dial the local number sipgate gave you.....the rest , if it works should be obvious

if it does'nt work
{A run perl checkip.pl}

1 check your ISP hasn't changed your IP address
2 check everything, form square one for typos
3 goto Dyndns and run their name resolver
4 consider posting in user forum-- AFTER you've had a break, freshened up, RECHECKED EVERYTHING CAREFULLY

ONCE YOUR'E RUNNING
TEST TEST TEST
read up on dial plans and tweak to your own desires
read up on extensions/mds/voicemail/IVRs and configure to your own desires

PLEASE .....keep it simple and test each step as you go -it makes troubleshooting so much easier
--- take notes, post/wiki any new knowledge
