I was told my iPad has been jail broken.

Ive gone onto that link but I can not see where I pay for it?

No more waiting for gateway connections and in general it has increased my battery life by a noticeable amount. Also installed an app called dimmer that allows you to turn the brightness down substantially more than stock.

I've been searching for an answer to this, but I can't find one. Is there a way to send a WOL magic packet from a button? Seems like a useful feature to turn on my HTPC. I don't like the way WoL is currently implemented where it sends the WoL packet automatically when trying to connect to a gateway. What about when I just want to start the PC to use WMC or to listen to music? WoL is more reliable than an IR wakeup command since it works even if the PC is turned off completely or hibernating.

Second question is, is there a way to launch another app from a button in iRule? I have an iTunes button in my iRule that wakes up my computer and turns on my sound system and sets it to the correct input. But once that's done, I would like my iPad to automatically go directly to the iTunes remote app so I can control iTunes from there. Right now, I have to close iRule and then open the Apple Remote app manually. By the way, the iViewer/Commandfusion has this feature so you can launch any app from the iViewer remote.

No big deal I thought, I will just change it back to the working codes and it will be fine. No matter what I do, any Tivo ip command locks up iRule. I reset my network and Tivo thinking maybe it was a network issue. The Tivo has a static ip which I used to create a http gateway with 31339 port. I must be missing something. Please help!

I used activator (installed by default with sbsettings) to set a short hold of the home button while the device is locked to launch iRule, whether it was running already or not. Activator allows all sorts of custom actions you can use to meet your needs

The first instance works great - nothing from the second. Doing some testing now I had to create a second Device (called Direct HTTP #2) duplicating the "DirecTV HTTP HR20-700..." device. But then I'll need to change the commands on each button (for the second instance of the pages) to map to the second instance of the DirecTV device in the device list. I changed one button and that worked - so at least I know what's going on... Is there any way to bulk-assign this? Or am I missing something very basic? Going through all the pages to replace each command would be a real PITA...

I would have thought that there would be a simpler way to copy pages to work on another device - especially since it's the same device type.

Thanks,

Jeff

Wanted to try over serial as well but am not sure if my cable works. Does it have to be a specific type of cable? I have a null-modem cable with DB9 F connectors and plugged that into another serial cable with Db9 M connectors so I get male on one side. Wondering if the cables are different (cross over maybe?) as for the moment this doesn't work either.

I can see by the blinking led on the gateway that my commands or something seems to arrive at the gateway, but the IR emitter doesn't blink, whereas the one for my lights blinks and works as intended (switched out emitters with the same result).
