Configuring Westinghouse LCD TV with FIOS Remote

I've recently been doing a lot of home media setups for myself and family lately. Taking a systematic approach to everything has forced me to learn a lot about home theaters systems. Although I feel I know a good deal now, I still get stumped every once in a while.

The other day I had to setup a FIOS remote control with a Westinghouse LCD TV. I'm not sure if this is model dependent or not, but nevertheless, the two codes provided in the remote's manual did not work. There is a Westinghouse and a White Westinghouse category (both would not control the TV). After searching on the Internet with little success I called FIOS support. They walked me through a process which takes the remote through each TV code sequence until you find a code that works with the TV. I know this worked with my remote with the big "FIOS TV" button in the middle. I do believe there are two types of FIOS remotes, so your results may vary. Here was the process:

1. Make sure your TV is on
2. Hold 'TV' and 'OK' button for 3 seconds
3. Press '922' to tell it to go into find sequence
4. Press 'Play' button to begin find sequence
5. Press 'Fwd' button to begin going through each TV code
6. When the remote finds your TV, it will turn it off
7. If you accidently go one code too far, press 'Rwd' button to go back
8. Once you find your code, hit the 'OK' button to set the remote.

Hope this helps someone out there.

STSADM Export

I was recently moving a WSS2.0 site (not site collection) to MOSS and thought it was going to be fairly quick and straight forward.

1. Upgrade the WSS2.0 server to WSS3.0
   
2. Use either Designer or STSADM Export to move the site
   

The upgrade went fine, but when I tried to use Designer to move the site, but during the restore I received:

Error occured while importing the web http://portal/newsite
Could not find file 'C:\windows\temp\a93239....\exportsettings.xml'

I then decided to use "STSADM –o export" to move the site. This worked fine, but for some reason it was not backing up all of my files. Documents were missing and not being transferred. After some investigation, I realized that this is one of those times where the switches are very important. You have to include the "–versions" switch and set it to the level you want:

Any one of the following versions:

1. Last major version for files and list items(default)
   
2. The current version, either the last major or the last minor
   
3. Last major and last minor version for files and list items
   
4. All versions for files and list items
   

By design, the export will not export documents without a published major version or draft copies unless you set the switch correctly. Once I added "–versions 4", everything backed up perfectly
