SDV Error: 2 issues... any suggestions?

I have a new problem that just came up. I had a computer die, then move the cable equipment to a new computer. All seems to work well except on the switched Digital video channels. I go to one of them it pull up the channel picture and audio but then a few seconds after the video shows up I get a Error message screen saying unable to get channel network error and the SDV Error: 2 message. What is even more baffling is I can still hear the channel and if I go to a different channel and then back I will still see the audio and video but only for a few seconds before it gives me the same blue screen and error message even though I still hear the channel.

Anyone else have this issue and if so what did you do to fix it. I'm assuming the problem is in the computer somewhere because I'm clearly still getting the channel in question as I hear it perfectly clear.

Have a look around in WMC Tasks/Settings/....look for update PlayReady

What is the model number of your Tuner and your TA (tuning adapter)?

Tuning adapter is a Motorola MTR700, the tuner is a Ceton USB 4.

Nope both old and new are USB 2.0 The replacement computer is pretty much identical to the one that died, both Mac Minis running Windows 7 Pro

I had the same issues. I finally gave up and switched it out for two primes. I have very few issues now. I still have the centon if anyone wants it :)
