Your cable card would have to move from the old tuner to the new tuner and then have to be re-validated/paired with the new tuner and possibly lineup re-provisioned by Xfinity. You would also have to re-do your WMC tuner set up to use the new tuner. Assuming you do all that properly you would then...

So if I run this and say NBC which for me is channel 188 comes back with -8.9dBmV and a Signal of 36.8 do I need to do something? Know the picture is jerky on this channel that we watch. Also watch CNN on 216 and that has a -7.5dBmV but don't think I notice it so much there.

You can't fix it. The Ceton cards have a crappy NVRAM chip. Once the chip fails, you cannot update the firmware any more. That is why they went out of business. Throw out the Ceton tuner and get a Silicondust HRHomeRun Prime.

Very old post I know, but I wanted to show what fixed this issue for me and my Cisco TA.

I followed this link and by simply restarting the Cisco Tuning Adapter Service in Win 7, everything works again.

Good to know. Many thanks. I must have hit it at a down time. Turns out I did not need to download anything as my OD image restore brought back what I needed. Good to know Ceton site is there for support, however. My Pcie6 and Echo are both rock solid after many years.

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

I think the consensus was, this is overkill. Just plug it into your network. You should have plenty of bandwidth to support all 6 tuners at once, plus playing over...

Could this be the old problem with the CGMS-A copy protection? If there was no CCI on the channel and there is CGMS-A (analog copy protection) older version of the firmware for both Ceton and SiliconDust would see it as either copy-once or copy-never (what you are probably seeing).
Considering that...

It appears to be the correct piece.

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.

Ah, been there.

I have a 4-tuner Ceton PCIe card. I also run Emby on the same machine.

So here's what I learned. MCE's (or perhaps it's on the Ceton side) won't properly detect the Ceton tuners once the machine is updated to .NET 4.6+ ... which is required to run some programs, like the latest...

Yeah, my limited experience with TAs and SDV was not a good one.

Other then general bugs with the system, the main problem with SDV is that it's purpose is to fit a large number of networks in to a small number of channels.

For instance, lets say your cable company has 20 SDV networks, but they...

Worth a mention, I also use EPG 123, admittedly an older version. All it does is make an XML guide file that is imported into WMC. It should not make any difference with any tuner. The main thing is that you get your lineup for your tuners for EPG.

I thought of that temp issue. They hover between 59 and 65. It was much hotter at first and I did add a fan which helped. I remember talking to Ceton about it years ago. They indicated that anything below 65 would be ok.

Thank you all for the replies. Crash I took your advice and bought a mini B usb.. however, it's actually a mini A. They look exactly alike. I could not get the mini B to go in for anything. So did some more digging. Found some converters that might do the trick. And yes.. it's the infinitv 6 ETH....

I just swapped out power supplies. I'll see if that cures the problem. If not, I'll call Comcast.

My 2 ETH's have 14.10.3.163 firmware.

I haven't seen this version mentioned.

I'm continually getting 'Subscription required' 4 -6 times daily and have to power cycle the ETH's then reboot WMC.

Frustrating.

Is it my firmware versions or something else?

Do you know if EAS disable worked by backing it down and bringing it back up? I've got Infinitv4's on 15.1.13.152 that just give me a blank screen when an EAS comes across... I don't think they were ever flashed in that order. Also, what bugs does the v15 release have?

You'll definitely need the drivers for the tuner to be detected, but they install with the Diagnostics GUI.

You might try setting the various services to Manual first. They should then be started as required.

Also, as you are looking through the services list, check their dependencies to look for anything unusual, maybe in DCOM and RPC services.

Perhaps not related, but I do not use DHCP served IP...

The Ceton eth uses a weird cable to connect to the tuning adapter, something like a mini usb B to a full size usb B cable. I would be extremely surprised if a cable company had any of these laying around actually.

The InfiniTV USB has never been a stable product. I recommend switching back to the PCIe tuner.

Yeah the internet goes to any coax in the building. The PC's ethernet cable plugs into the MoCa adapter. I heard some of the newer MoCa routers will connect at GiG and do nearly 300 mbps throughput. Nice streaming from the HTPC server to wherever. Or even just use it for Wireless Access Points...

Mine...

Don't think so. It's been a while since I dealt with ClearQAM, but if the scan/setup completed, the manual adjustment should do the trick.

Obviously the data ID should not be changing as long as the CableCard remains in the Ceton Tuner. In fact once the two are paired you can move them (as a pair) from one computer to another without impacting the Data ID. I would therefore suspect either the CableCard or the Ceton Tuner as faulty....

Update: it's been 2 months and I've had no issues - I ended up moving the Ceton Infinitv 6 PCIe to another PCIe slot (and then I had to re-configure WMC tuner setup) and since then the problem appears to be solved. This is the first time, ever, that I have had WMC running rock solid.

Honestly, it sounds more like the cable company banging on your CableCards than a problem all of the sudden with 3 different Ceton devices. Or a bad firmware load they may have pushed to your Tuning Adapters.

Some mobos dont cut power to the pci bus when you shutdown, only an unplug will do so.

Your suggestion sounds like a more likely fix for this problem. But what exactly are we fixing...

The latest Ceton firmware does remove the CGMS restrictions, pretty sure this is it

Thanks for posting the link. I tried updating to a beta version using the Ceton UI, but did not get this version. This version fixed my issue (copy never flag on NBC high definition channel). I have been having...

The channels I think change to be numbered in the 1000s on Comcast. Channel 1995 just turned up in my area, but no other channels made switch afaik. If you don't have Comcast channel 1995 nothing will be in mpeg4.

Verified Win8 software/drivers will install on a Win10 machine (ran setup in Win8 compatibility and admin). Win7 drivers fail.

Agreed, I have been using the shared tuner feature on the PCI-E 6 card, I have installed the current software for the InviniTV and they work fine.

Using the Windows 10...

Ditch the Ceton tuners and get two HDHR Primes. You will save a lot of time and aggravation and as a bonus, your channel change delay will be almost instant.

lol, an expensive option when he already has 2 Ceton cards.

@ leerph
I would say if you need to only bridged one card leave the other...

I just got a used card from a person via forums on another site, I don't have a reason to believe the card came to me bad. Since hes been super helpful, good feedback, etc

I just got my cable card from TWC, so I finally installed it after having it for about a week already. I installed it in the...

Heh heh, I guess I had the bases covered.

Glad you got it straight.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this did not fix it.

It seems to be firmly wedged in the X1 slot. I will try the other slots though. And cleaning the contacts

This seems to happen about 5 minutes with the card and slot very cool so I don't think it is temp related.

The Ceton Diagnostics...

You would be the 1st (that I have read about) to make an InfiniTV and GFX work in the same box. correction, with the X97

Yep. comes in pretty strong.
First I had merged ch.2 and ch.1209 together in WMC as TWC said they are the same stream for LA. Now I removed ch.2 and am just sticking to ch.1209 for my recordings, just to get rid of duplicate stations.

Here is the Oct2013 firmware to try if you like.

I think Comcast will be switching my area (NW Chicago 'burbs) to MPEG4 soon.

I have 1 Xbox extender and 3 Linksys DMA extenders. It sounds like the Xbox may work OK but with some issues, and the DMAs are completely not gonna work after the switch. Is that correct? I don't know if I should start...

I had an issue with pixilation and poor signal strength. The issue was with the pigtail. After moving the HTPC for cleaning and dusting a few times, the connection between the pigtail and card became weak. I verified this by touching the pigtail while a program was on and saw the image get either...

So is it safe to assume that 1995 channel with the three dots is basically worthless as a test unless you have Comcast owned equipment?

I have been using only WMC. I have an XBox, but never even really connected that, since I have 2 WMC computers (which are H.264 perfectly well, including...

The Entitlement Messages going to zero is not a bug at all, the register is just cleared with a power cycle. The headend will send out EMMs at random and you'll receive them over a period of a few days to a week.

John, I've tested this off and on ever since your post. The EMM's NEVER increment on...

I've scene this with windows drivers for the video card be incompatible, I scene this when I tried using HDMI audio at first, you need to run the audio/video setup. I once remembered a Windows update caused this, I needed to back up to a earlier backup, I disabled updates for a month and was able...

Thanks for all the help.

Have no idea what happened, I changed nothing, everything is working now?

Guess it could have been operator error, but I have no idea what I did wrong. Anyway thanks again.

I know, and they did too, but they can get away with anything out here. My tv coax lines involve a whopping 1 tap and 1 splitter. a line to the modem, and a line to the splitter, which then splits to the TA and ceton eth6. Everything was changed multiple times but it was still always hands up, i...

Here is the configuration Guide for the ECB2500.

as well as the Configuration Utility.

I apologize if this post is in the wrong place, but I have been unable to find any of my previous posts in any of the forums. The salient question I am asking, quite simply, is: How can I install the Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers for the Ceton infinitv USB 4 when the installer insists that WMC MUST be...

Also the servers are back up.
