NCTC carries two DVR devices. Depending on which of the devices you are using, the recording times will vary.

1. The Entone Hydra HD and Amulet with 250 GB HDD.
   • On average, the Entone Hydra HD and Amulet will allow up to 260 hours of recording SD content and 65 hours of recording HD content.

   • On average, the Scientific Atlanta/CIS 430will allow up to 80 hours of recording SD content and 20 hours of recording HD content.

Try pushing the STB button on the remote control. And try again. If it is still not working, and the light around the POWER or STB button is not displaying, try changing the batteries.

The majority of channel changing problems can be resolved by following these steps before contacting NCTC Technical Support:

Step 1 – Press the STB button on the remote control. Try to change the channels using the remote.

Still not working? Go to Step 2.

Step 2 – Look at the STB button on the remote after you press it. Did the button light up? Did any of the other buttons light up? If they did not, you need to change the batteries in your remote. Try Step 1 again after doing so. Did it work? Great!

If not, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 – If the STB STANDBY button or light around the POWER button is blinking when remote buttons are being pressed, the remote is sending signals to the Set Top Box (STB). If the channels still don’t change, please try to change the channels using the dial pad on the STB itself by pressing the UP or DOWN arrows. If using the dial pad on the STB works, unplug the STB for 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. Allow the STB to reboot, and try changing the channels using the remote once more.

If this doesn’t work, move on to Step 4.

Step 4 – If the STB has a clock, try to re-register the remote control to the STB. Look at the back of the remote control to check which television will be affected. Looking on the battery cover will show which decoder/stream will be affected; write this number down to use in Step 4A (4).

Step 4A

1. Ensure the Hydra is turned on.
2. Press and hold ENTER on the front of the Hydra panel for approximately five seconds. When releasing this button, the front panel LED light should blink red and green alternatively twice and then remain red. This means it is now in remote registration mode.
3. On the remote control, press and hold STB for 4–5 seconds. The STB backlight LED will illuminate on the remote. The remote control is now in registration mode.
4. Here’s where you will need the number you wrote down from the battery cover on the remote. Key 1, 2, or 3 — based on the number you wrote earlier — are used to register the remote with the Hydra. Press 1 to send the Register the Remote Control to Decoder ‘1’ Press 2 to send the Register the Remote Control to Decoder ‘2’ event. Press 3 to send the Register the Remote Control to Decoder ‘3’ event. Pressing any button other than 1, 2, or 3 will cause the STB LED light to go dark on the remote. Also, if none of the buttons are pressed after 10 seconds, the STB LED will go dark, and the remote control registration will be terminated, which means you’ll have to start over from Step 3.
5. The STB backlight LED on the remote control will blink twice to acknowledge registration. When the Hydra receives the remote control registration successfully (whether it was 1, 2, or 3), the front panel LED on the Hydra will blink showing the successful registration of the remote. If the Hydra does not receive any remote registration for 30 seconds after you started Step 4(A), the LED will go from red to green, which means the process is terminated, and you must start over.

Step 5 – If none of these steps work, contact NCTC Technical Support at 615-666-2155.

• “Stream 2” is found using CATV Channel 23 on your television. If your television has more than one setting for analog channels, please make sure your television is set on Cable TV channel 23 (or CATV 23).
• “Stream 3” is found using CATV Channel 39 on your television.

At this time, North Central is not pursuing ESPN3. NCTC has performed extensive tests with ESPN3 engineers, and we have been unsuccessful in watching ESPN3 content with subscribers who are at 512 KB. ESPN3.com is best viewed on a service of 1.5 MB and above. However, ESPN3 requires ISPs to pay for every Internet subscriber that is above 450Kbps. More than half of NCTC’s Internet customers subscribe to our 512 KB service and therefore would be unable to watch ESPN3 content.

If/when ESPN3 modifies their content to successfully play on 512 KB speeds or allows ISPs to only pay for their Internet customers who are at 1.5 MB and above, NCTC will gladly pursue the ESPN3.com service.

Here’s why POP is bad:

• You have to delete or file the same email on every device
• Logging into each device, you will see lots of unread emails with no indication of which you deleted, read, flagged or filed
• Any folders you created and organize on one device won’t be replicated on the other devices

How do I know I’m using POP?

• Sign 1: If I create folders on one of my devices, they are not replicated on others
• Sign 2: If I read an email on one of my devices, I see it as unread on others
• Sign 3: If I delete an email on one of my devices, I still see it on others

The Practical Use of IMAP

For people using multiple computers and devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, the ability to synchronize email actions among devices is essential. When a person uses IMAP, and he or she reads, deletes or moves email into folders, the action occurs across all devices simultaneously. Since it is possible to download only the email headers with IMAP, it’s much quicker. Additionally, any offline changes that are made to email are transmitted to the remote server once an Internet connection is re-established. Essentially, IMAP allows the user to archive their email on their computer or device while having a backup stored on the remote server. Additionally, business users, especially those in professions that demand confidentiality, prefer to use IMAP since it allows for the added security email encryption affords.

POP should have been dead a long time ago, but a lot of people still use it because they don’t know how to switch to IMAP. 

The first step is to copy your existing folders on your account to a different mailbox/folder.  After that you can simply create a new account selecting IMAP as type. This will override anything in your account. This is why it is essential to back up existing email folders in your NCTC email account before doing this.  

Long distance rates are often based upon distance, whether or not the call crosses a state line or LATA (Local Access Transport Area) boundary. But, they are also based on paying the networks who carry the call for the use of their network. As a service to our customers, we provide local calling to all of our customers to anywhere within the North Central Telephone service area, even when crossing the state line of KY/TN. However, if the person you are calling, no matter how close they may seem in distance, is using another network, North Central has to pay for the use of that network in order to connect your call. That charge is passed onto you on your North Central bill as payment for the services provided.

A phone line is very valuable in any household or business, regardless of cell phone usage or other methods of communication. It is important for emergency situations, because it is the most reliable method of voice communication, and because it is the most accurate when identifying your location in the event of an emergency 911 call.

Beyond that, North Central is bound by tariffs and regulations to provide telephone service. These restrictions actually make it more cost effective to provide telephone service with High-Speed Internet and IPTV service.

Caller ID on your TV automatically shows the name and number of the person calling you on your TV screen when a call comes in. It stays on the screen for a few seconds, then automatically disappears.

You can view your last 25 calls on the screen caller ID log by pushing the PHONE button on the silver remote control or the yellow button on the black remote control.

When you’re away from the TV, and the TV is off, your calls are still captured in the caller ID log, as long as the STB is still powered on.
