Has anyone gotten this thing to work? I got it installed OK but can't get
Media Player 10 to actually do anything without getting an error message
(C00D1198: Cannot connect to the server) which says to change proxy server
settings in MP 10, which I did and which will still not work. I would really
like this as I take my laptop on trips and would like to see the stuff I
have recorded at home. I already told Orb that the program would be useless
to me if I can't overcome this issue.
