Can the InfiniTV PCI 4 and InfiniTV 6 ETH co-exist?

[chuck]

Greetings all, I have been running the PCI 4 in a tv server for more that a year, serving the rest of the house. I just got the InfiniTV 6 ETH and am wondering if there are any issues I should be concerned about before adding the InfiniTV 6 ETH to my network. Will the installation of the (Windows 7 SP1) - BETA DRIVER: Ceton InfiniTV Installer (13.06.03.1088) hose any of my setup for the currently installed PCI 4 if installed on the same machine?

Yes. They can coexist fine.

Thanks! Getting ready to power it up and install the software now.

As you stated, there will be no problems. The 4 tuner PCIe card is still serving the other devices as it was, and the new ETH6 is providing a signal to a new computer. The CableCard for the ETH6 should be here on Jan 2, and I will get the unit fully operational. I will report back then.

It has all been running great for about 2 months, I dare say, as one would expect. The pci4 in the tv-server remains in use, and the additional eth6 has been added to the mix. The eth6 is serving the 3 main 60" tvs via a pc at each, my pc, and my laptop. The pci4 is pulling dvr duty controlled through tablets and smartphones via the Ceton app, and providing tv service to my gf's laptop.

FWIW, when I was maxing out my pci4 I was starting to have freezing/macro-blocking/pixel problem, now that I am not maxing out any single device those problems are gone.

Good job Ceton, thanks for making these devices!
