do you know what your uptx is at the cable card location? SDV operates using the return signal. It's possible for your return signal to be close to failing, (anything over 50dB), if its over 50dB then you will need to change you splitter configuration to improve the signal. This is something...

Many people did exactly that--create a separate, private network with the ETH6. No router needed. Search the forum--and go WAY back.

If Locast keeps building out and expanding, an all-streaming setup outside of 7MC might be feasible.

You can't use 1 computer as a server for other computers for DRM content, having a tuner shared is no problem however only recordings made on that respective computers hard drive will work. If you were using a non cable card tuner you could do what your suggesting without any issue.

Ceton's diagnostic software shows no tuners present, and I performed all the resets with no luck.
I checked the Device Manager and saw no issues or warning signs, but I wasn't sure how...

Figured I'd give an update:
It was the card that died, sad face. I really enjoyed 6 tuners, but it looks like now I'll be switching to the HDHR Prime.

Is Ceton officially dead? The website is up but not current, nothing is available at Amazon or Newegg and their FB page has nothing since 2015. It did say they were working on new things but I can't even find anything in the news.
Guess I'm glad I went to SD and got some Primes.

WMC does not ask for provider info on installation of a PCIe4 card, hence there is no guide. I have installed this card on two other similar PCs with no problem. I have also installed a ETH6 on 3 computers without a problem. Ideas?

As it turns out, simply deleting the .db file in c:\programdata\Microsoft\ehome solves the problem. It forces a tuner reconfig and WMC prompts for the provider. Oddly, unlike previous installs it restricts access to 4 of the 6 tuners (this is for the ETH6). It says the OS does this. News to me.

check your chipset drivers. Can't way why, just a hunch.
I updated them I think. It's an HP SFF business machine and based on the existing drivers it has a 6 series chipset. I went straight to Intel's website to update them. So far so good.

Do you have your InfiniTV 6 PCIe bridged ? Given your router is affecting things, it sounds like you do. If so, this is an untested (and unsupported) configuration.

No it cannot. You can allocate one or more tuner to another computer, but it would be exclusively to that other computer.
You would either need to get a Homerun prime or the Infinitv6 ETH

It is most likely an incorrectly provisioned cablecard. You should go through the support process with Ceton. If Comcast won't provision the cablecard correctly, Ceton knows people in Comcast to get it working for you.

If the TA is simply to provide upstream communication to the DAC, why would I need more than one connected to my WMC PC with multiple PCIe InfiniTV's installed? Couldn't one TA handle 12 or more tuners?

Short answer: you need one per CableCARD.
Long answer: TAs have a run-time (not persistent) pairing with the CableCARD. Also Motorola and Cisco TAs are limited to resolving 6 channels (though I think build 2001 of STA-1520 firmware may support 8). Because of how the standards work, you will need...

Ceton support is usually pretty good. They must have seen something in the diagnostics point to a RAM issue. Normally, 4GB is plenty for what you're doing.

Did you set this up as DHCP or assign an IP address to the tuner? (with SD you don't have a choice, with Ceton you do). This sounds like a lease on an IP address expiring and not being auto-renewed.

The number of channels differ because the maps are different (this is expected with a TA). When a TA is attached, the CableCARD's map is ignored and the TA resolves all tuning requests - even for non-switched channels.
That's interesting. Do we even need the CableCARD if we have a TA attached?...

Check settings in BIOS to make sure there is no power saving option set which would turn off your USB ports.
Also, try pressing Stop before you turn off the TV. I'm not convinced that the USB ports are related to your no-video problem.

Marvison,
Just to clarify what has been written earlier... You can use multiple PC's which all share the InfiniTV-ETH. Each PC can record from the shared tuners, and each PC can watch live TV from the shared tuners. If you don't use extenders, you will be missing the following things:

When my router gets rebooted my Infi TV ETH6 becomes unavailable to anything on the network. A quick reboot of the infinTV fixes this. However this shouldn't happen, when the reboot happens the iniftv should sense the loss of the physical link (it is plugged into the router) and when the router...
Last post
DHCP issue perhaps? Or is it static? If you connect to a switch that sits between the two, do you still have the issue? The point I'm trying to make is that the link loss and subsequent reconnect may be the issue, in that if the router isn't ready it could cause problems with the device.

I had to use this to fix WMC on my 8.1 machine. BUT it can also be used to run WMC (windows 7) under Hyper-V or VMWARE. That way you get to keep windows 8 AND not lose all the functionality. May or may not need the network tuner for this.

Hi all,
I stumbled across a great suggestion on the Xbox UserVoice forums for the Xbox One to support the InfiniTV ETH as a video source for it's TV functionality. We would love to enable the InfiniTV to work on the Xbox One, but we need Microsoft to enable it on their side.
If you think this...

Apparently simply enabling support for the InfiniTV line of tuners was not sufficient. Now the request is for a hardware add-on to the Xbox One that integrates an InfiniTV-6 and DVR functionality. So let me get this straight: You want Microsoft to develop the Q?

I'm surprised it did that. It's hooked to your cable, which if installed properly, is grounded. That would explain the shock but not the reboot. Make sure your CATV has a good ground. The reboot could mean it found an easier route to earth through your network.

Help! Something wrong with my InfiniTV ETH6

First post
Woke up this morning to 'no tuners found'. Tried to power cycle the ETH and it just blinks blue without ever going solid. I think this has something to do with IP address, but everything else is find on my network. The PC after a reboot can't locate the tuner. What should I do?
Last post
It has an IP but listed as an offline device. In all cases it's unreachable. Last night it was fine. I can try switching the network cable, but beyond that, I think there may be a problem with the device.
Turns out my Ethernet port went bad (or the cable run inside the wall). Need to troubleshoot...

As I understand it, the CableCARD decrypts the data coming from the cable company. The tuner then re-encrypts it using an encryption method that can be decrypted by PlayReady. PlayReady decrypts it, and then encrypts it again before writing it to disk.
That's why the tuner is a system-on-chip and...

I would have to believe no. A Windows Media Center compatible IR receiver and blaster(s) works off the 5V USB power of any PC. I bet this would work without the adapter if your TV has a USB plug with power.

Good enough depends on whether or not you are experiencing any problems when tuning channels. If the SNR is a little low, AND the signal strength is low on the same channel, then you might have a problem. Otherwise, it should work OK.

I'm using an InfiniTV 4 USB with Windows 7 SP1.

A SNR of 33 is on the low end of normal. Ideally you want it at 36 or so especially with a low signal strength. But if your picture looks good, I would not worry about it. Remember that signal strength can vary depending on channel frequency so some stations may be fine while others have issues.

Ceton says 14W max HERE . This seems pretty accurate because my PC runs around 40W most of the time, 20 of which are my video card. That leaves less than 20 for everything else, including my InfiniTV.

I went one level up in the main HTPC and got a GTX 650 to game with at 1080p. So far, so good. *Nvidia high-five*
P.S. As you mentioned, Nvidia has a habit of just rebranding cards; my only real gripe with them.

InfiniTV4 Driver Update Process

First post
I have driver version 12.08.28.0019 installed, and when I check for updates in WMC using the Diagnostic Tool it identifies 1.3.0.2-20110901 as the latest version. I'd like to update, but there's no update instructions that I can find. Can anyone provide the update process? Thanks
Last post
One set is probably beta versions. Hence the no updates if you are using release drivers
I won't be trying beta versions, so I'll wait for a new final release version.

As others have mentioned, using the cable TV wire for television if you are not paying for cable TV service is considered Theft of Service by cable operators.

As much as I appreciate the EXCELLENT support from Ceton, I also have to add that almost ALL of my Tuning Adapter problems went away when I replaced it with an HD HomeRun Prime. I should also add that...

Remove channels from program guide

First post
Can somebody tell me how to remove the channels I don't receive from the program guide? I'm on Fios and obviously I don't receive all the channels they offer, nor do I want to see program guides for channels I have no interest in. Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find an answer.
Last post
Does the auto select tool actually remove unsubscribed channels? I was under the impression that it does not.
I don't know. Never used it. If someone could confirm, that would be nice. If this works as I hope, it would be a real time saver the next time I change my tuner configuration.

The card not being paired only prevents you from receiving high-value (CCI >0x00) content. On Comcast, I don't believe anything in the standard tier is marked with a CCI > 0x00, so this is likely a non-issue

I read in another thread where installing the Ceton drivers lifted the 4 tuner limit in WMC. Is this confirmed functionality and does it work in Windows 8? I want to add another Ceton card to my rig.

Our current production release only supports this on Windows 7. In our internal development releases, we have enabled this functionality in Windows 8, and expect to release it with the next public version.

Hello,
I am beginning to suspect that my PCIe InfiniTV4 which dates from late summer 2010 is beginning to fail. The symptoms are new and don't fit the pattern of a bad cable which I've experienced before. Some channels are giving me blocking/drop-outs. Signal levels reported by each of the tuners...
Last post
Changing (or removing) just an InfiniTV should not break DRM. However, the DRM calculation does give a high weight to network cards (which includes the InfiniTV), so if you change other things at the same time, you may run into difficulty.

If the LED is flashing blue, the tuner has been configured to be a DHCP client, but does not have an IP address. You need to get the PC up and press the reset network settings button in the InfiniTV Diag utility.

It usually takes a couple of days for the change to show up in WMC.

First post
Last week Comcast detected a signal leak so they reduced my signal until the signal leak could be repaired. Once they did this I lost my OOB lock and my pairing. The next day I had them come out to repair the leak and they bumped my signal back up, but we could not get the OOB lock to occur. Hed...

It is my understanding that the InfiniTV comes with an amplifier onboard to compensate for the signal loss associated with splitting the signal 4 ways.
That is correct

Has anyone seen this before? I've used this card successfully with both TWC and Suddenlink (I'm on Suddenlink now). At some point in time, not sure if it correlates to the latest firmware, I started getting the following behavior:
A cold power-on yields a perfectly functioning CableCard and tuner....
Last post
I don't remember offhand if Suddenlink uses Motorola or Cisco CableCARDs - if it's Motorola, double-check the DATA # with what the rep has. Certain commands will cause the card to generate a new DATA #.
Beyond that, I'd recommend opening a support ticket with Ceton.

Now if only they could start to manufacture the InfiniTV6 PCIe. I could do with 2 more tuners, and have no room for another InfiniTV4.

I have version 1.0.3.2, which my Ceton diagnostic tool says is up to date. However, the page lists 4 more recent versions. Are ALL of these beta versions?
I'm having a few small issues and would like to try a newer firmware than 1.0.3.2, do I need to join the beta program?
Thanks,
Tony

Hard to give an accurate subject line so bare with me! :)
Have two Cetons with Mot TAs, each in a separate PC. One Ceton PC (the master HTPC with the extenders & main TV) has a ceton that isn't network shared. The other Ceton PC (the WHS server that's serving tuners to the kids PCs & my laptop)...

Just wanted to give an update:
Asked (and got) my 2nd Ceton added to the beta. The latest beta fw & drivers added extra fixes specifically for this problem.
After having it installed for almost two weeks now, I haven't lost a TA lock on the correct Tuner one time. Very happy.

Greetings all--
Got Dad's ceton installed & paired (Broadstripe Cable in Michigan- Not on SDV). I'm running into a problem & I don't know if it's MediaCenter, PlayReady, Ceton, or CableCO problem.
The problem is that all four tuners work great-- no problems with any of the digital channels; but,...

As a long time user of Media Center, we've gone through the transition from analog, clearQAM to CableCard with Comcast.
Comcast's plan is to stop broadcasting the analog channels, which is probably going to be true for all (or most) cable companies. In our area, Comcast is slowly turning off the...

is a two way amp required if you want to amplify your signl with a cablecard or will a standard one way amp work?
He didn't hook it up to an amp per se, supposedly just a splittler designed for Cablecards. I would think an amp might not be best to use unless you have a lot of line splits.
