After going through the typical/annoying Japanese signup protocol of;
=== Europe ===


# calling, handing over name and address

# they send you a form, so that you write name and address
[[Image:euro1.jpg|right|thumb|400px|roadmap part 1]]
# so they can give you the service


I got the tuner in the mail ok, as well as the "setup number". There was also a NTT flets COP code I needed, so I called NTT to get that.
Seeing countries [http://wikitravel.org/en/Switzerland Switzerland], (Germany), [http://wikitravel.org/en/Austria Austria], [http://wikitravel.org/en/Slovenia Slovenia], Italy Venice


Lots of channels, and the tuner is all in Japanese, but pretty easy to navigate. As always, it is a little sluggish when using the GUI, changing channels and so on. About the same as the satellite and cable STBs I have used before. One would hope they'd made it faster over the years though.
It would be my guess that we sleep in: Zurich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Graz, Ljubljanja/Bled, Venice
But Innsbruck->Salzburg is short, and Ljubljanja->Venice long.


These are things I want to find an answer for:
Jul 14 - Jul 28


* Hackable? Can I get in, if so, can I add English myself? only port 20000 open so far. (upnp?)
Distances:
* Quick channel list. I want a fast way to get to a more scrollable channel list. Right now you either get full guide (slow) or large icons (slow), or deep in the menus (slow)
{| border="1" align="center" style="color:green;background-color:#ffffcc;"
* Quick channels, can I set my preferred channels on the number keys, and quick jump? Looks like I can, but it sure don't work.
|'''From'''
* Output is 1080i, why not 1080p.
|'''To'''
* Can I get it to work with XBMC and remove tuner? (IPV6 etc)

== Mini review ==
=== To Organise ===


I have used the service for a little bit now. I did not really understand the difference in the two packages you sign up for;
* <s>Book flights Tokyo-Zurich</s>. Done
* <s>Book place to stay for lundman-4 in Zurich on night of 15th-16th.</s> Olympia Hotel.
* <s>Book car Switzerland</s> Done, 7 seater Zurich Town 16/7 09:00 to Venice Centre 21/7 18:00.
* Axel and Marissa arriving at 9.45am on Saturday 16 on flight BA0710
* Fly out of Venice 17:30 Thu, 21 Jul Marco Polo (VCE), 19:30 Thu 21 Jul Schiphol,  21:00 Thu 21 Jul Schiphol -> 23:00 Thu, 21 Jul Stockholm Arlanda Terminal 5
* Book place to stay Arlanda Thu 21st.
* Book Sweden car Arlanda 22/7 to 26th. We fly out at: 14.30 from Arlanda (TG961).


* TV:  This is the equivalent of SkyPerfect satellite, or cable. You get the channels, and can watch them when your program is on. EPG guides, and scheduled recording.
* Video: This is the OnDemand service, where you look around to find something to watch, then just watch it. Whole seasons are usually available.


You can also "connect" your tuner with the HikariTV web page, and view EPG guides on the computer to schedule recordings of shows, as well as, searching for shows. That is worth doing, as shifting through guides, on the tuner itself, is slow and tedious.


Some shows will not have English. This is very strange. For example, BBC's "Sherlock" Season 1 has both subbed and dubbed. But the Season 2 one-week special only had dubbed version. It is really a crime to do that.
Things to do in '''Switzerland''':


For some reason, Comedy shows appear completely absent from the Video service. One would expect at least something like Friends, My Name is Earl, Community, Big Bang Theory, Scrubs, The Office. And I don't mean *specifically* those shows, but any 30mins comedy shows just does not exist.

I have no issues with it being over my Internet connection. But I do tend to turn off the tuner when I am not watching tv, as I am aware it is using the network.

=== Networking ===
Things to do in '''Sweden''':


I had a fair bit of trouble getting HikariTV to work well. It would sometimes start glitching like crazy, I thought it was the wifi router, or maybe the two switches connected in chain.

But eventually it turns out the be the Win7 PC going into hibernation (sleep). The switch appears to think it still should get multicast packets (wake on lan is on) and something goes weird there. Shutdown has no side effects.

Proposed trip to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Shanghai - maglev train


I signed up for HikariTV recently, to see what that is like to use. I went for the "double" tuner rental.
20 hour train from Shanghai to Hong Kong
http://www.seat61.com/China.htm#How_to_read_a_Chinese_train_ticket


Initially I was using an old Buffalo G54 wifi router. It could technically handle it, but all wifi communication stopped when watching tv.
Hong Kong - Disneyland, Disneyland hotel?
 
http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/hotels/landing?name=HongKongDisneylandHotelLandingPage
I went and picked up a WZR-450HP. You have to enable the "Movie engine" and then IPV6 option. Then HikariTV worked.
 
However, I noticed you could only watch for 2-3 minutes, then channels would go blocky, corrupt and generally be unplayable. Some channels did not play at all.
 
It turns out that you can set the "multicast rate", for which the default is "11 mbps", on the Buffalo WIFI router.
 
However, with HD channels, it is sending at about 8-16mbps. I changed the "multicast rate" to 22mbps and it is currently working well.
 
 
 
=== Wifi router connecting to Internet ===
 
First, we need to look at how my Internet router connects to my ISP, and gets the IPv6 addresses worked out.

Great wall of China - Bedaling
Taking the train to the Great Wall of China...
For the first 20 minutes, the train negotiates the Beijing suburbs, then it accelerates to around 80mph for a brief sprint to its first station stop. After stopping briefly at this station, the train starts climbing at slow speed into the mountains to Badaling. You start to see parts of the Great Wall as soon as you leave the station stop, so have your camera ready!  The train reverses direction at the stop before Badaling, so don't be surprised when this happens. 2 hours at the wall is plenty, so taking the 09:33 from Beijing out and the 15:22 from Badaling back, or the 13:19 out and 19:40 back all work fine. If you want to return earlier, there are also regular buses back to Beijing.

=== Reverse Engineering ===
Proposed trip to Canada USA in Summer 2011. We are staying in Waupoos Island, and need to stop in Toronto, and Boston.


I contacted HikariTV to see if I am allowed to write my own client to play HikariTV, as I think it can be done better than current STB. They replied that they had no OpenSource information at the moment. We know the STB runs Linux/2.6.20.19-ce3tsb-20091202, so it must exist somewhere.
Since we are in the area, we might as well stop by Niagara Falls. According to Google it is only 4 hours from Boston to New York City. So it would seem prudent to get NYC over with.


Unless NEC is breaking GNU license.

Anyway, this is what the bootup process appears to do:

  Long Island— When you travel to NYC in the summer, a great idea is to check out Long Island. With its beautiful long white sanded beaches you can have it all: the big city and the summer holiday. Many New Yorkers do that every Friday, Saturday and Sunday if it is hot. Take the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station to Long Beach ($6.75 one way), and from there go south to the beach itself. Take a day trip on the Hampton Jitney from various stops in NYC to the East End, where Long Island wine country is on the North Fork and The Hamptons are on the South Fork.

Proposed trip to Shanghai and Hong Kong. Shanghai - maglev train

20 hour train from Shanghai to Hong Kong http://www.seat61.com/China.htm#How_to_read_a_Chinese_train_ticket

Hong Kong - Disneyland, Disneyland hotel? http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/hotels/landing?name=HongKongDisneylandHotelLandingPage

Great wall of China - Bedaling Taking the train to the Great Wall of China... For the first 20 minutes, the train negotiates the Beijing suburbs, then it accelerates to around 80mph for a brief sprint to its first station stop. After stopping briefly at this station, the train starts climbing at slow speed into the mountains to Badaling. You start to see parts of the Great Wall as soon as you leave the station stop, so have your camera ready! The train reverses direction at the stop before Badaling, so don't be surprised when this happens. 2 hours at the wall is plenty, so taking the 09:33 from Beijing out and the 15:22 from Badaling back, or the 13:19 out and 19:40 back all work fine. If you want to return earlier, there are also regular buses back to Beijing.

America

Proposed trip to Canada USA in Summer 2011. We are staying in Waupoos Island, and need to stop in Toronto, and Boston.

Since we are in the area, we might as well stop by Niagara Falls. According to Google it is only 4 hours from Boston to New York City. So it would seem prudent to get NYC over with.

Proposed route: 

Google

Areas of interest, and possible sleep overs. 

Niagara Falls
NYC: Time Square
NYC: Central Park
NYC: Nat.History Museum
NYC: Statue of Liberty, don't care to go to Liberty Island, but at least see it from afar. Can you see it from Jersey turnpike?
Letchworth national park
Dorian Lake theme park

Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, New Jersey- Just an 80-minute drive from Manhattan sits the largest theme park in the world. Six Flags Great Adventure features 12 monster roller coasters and includes a Wild Safari. There is also Six  Flags Hurricane Harbor right next door (the largest water park in the Northeast). New Jersey Transit also provides bus service from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan when the park is open (May-October). 

Jersey Shore, New Jersey- The Jersey Shore starts just a few miles south of New York City. It stretches for almost 130 miles, and along it are private and public beaches. There are numerous activities along the Jersey Shore. A convenient train ride on the NJ Transit trains from Penn Station will get you to several of the towns on the Jersey Shore, including Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach. 

Long Island— When you travel to NYC in the summer, a great idea is to check out Long Island. With its beautiful long white sanded beaches you can have it all: the big city and the summer holiday. Many New Yorkers do that every Friday, Saturday and Sunday if it is hot. Take the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station to Long Beach ($6.75 one way), and from there go south to the beach itself. Take a day trip on the Hampton Jitney from various stops in NYC to the East End, where Long Island wine country is on the North Fork and The Hamptons are on the South Fork. 



NYC: Grand Central Station?
NYC: Central Zoo
NYC: The Cloisters
