Check the remote control for its infrared emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check it by pressing all the keys. You can detect the presence of infra-red emission from the remote control, using a cell-phone camera. If you wish to get more details about how to check a remote control, please visit this site. One among the posts has details about it. Surf the site with patience. In some cases, the remote control might need to clean.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

This isn't a solution. We have had the same problem on our unit on the same day as you posted this! I updated the firmware to S/W 1.01.1B made absolutely no difference.

Here you go: Homecast HT8000 PVR User Guide

why unable to connect it? you mean its not working?

if not then download the ethernet driver from here:

just select the model and download the drivers and install them on your laptop.

2 things you can try.

1) Right click on system tray icon that has x and select enable device.

OR

2) Make sure the network driver is loaded.

XP or Vista:
Control Panel ->System -> Device Manager

If you see a question mark or exclamation point next to network adapter there is the problem.

Drivers are located on www.hp.com

Download from www.konvar com the program PCInspector. Conect the camera and direct the program to the image folder in the appropriate drive ltter #run the program set up a folder for the revoered imaged to be sent to and then when done format the card in the camera
