WMC only allowing 4 tuners?

#1

I've have an HDHomeRun Prime installed with Cox. (I used to have an InfiniTV with Comcast that had 4 tuners). With my Cox cablecard, it allows for 3 tuners. Today I installed another HDHomeRun with another cablecard, for a total of 6 tuners. The HDHomeRun software sees all 6 tuners just fine.

I went into WMC Setup and ran through that to setup the new tuners, but when WMC gets to the tuners part, it tells me I have 4 tuners.

Is there some kind of hard coded limit to the number of tuners WMC can see? If not, any ideas on how to get WMC to see all the tuners?

Both hdhomerun's software and ceton's software are supposed to remove that limit. The limit is usually 4 tuners. Try uninstalling and re-installing your hdhomerun software then redoing your tv signal setup. if that doesnt work just instal ceton's diagnostic software regardless of having one of their tuners. their software will increase the limit to 12 I believe.

hdhomerun's software does NOT remove the four tuner limit - they refer you to tunersalad, which works fine.
