A few questions have popped up about this so here is my short guide:
Tuner Pooling is a feature of the infiniTV 6 ETH and is supported on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs. This is a type of dynamic allocation of tuners which means that you can setup your infiniTV 6 ETH on multiple computers and...

Hello,
Wondering if anyone is running fw_15_1_13_152 with the infiniTV 4? I am currently running fw_14_10_3_163, and wondering if it is worth the risk!
Last post
I haven't used my InfiniTV4 (originally received back in 2010 I believe) since 2017, when I built a new HTPC and installed an InfiniTV6.
But I've been running FW 15_1_13_152 problem-free on my two active InfiniTV6 PCIe cards in two HTPCs, as well as on my spare InifiniTV6, for at least the past 5...

Is there a way to measure the signal strength of an eth 6?
Last post
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.

Your only option is to use Windows 7 or 8.1 for this.

I ran the AllCetonSignals.hta script that rolls through all of the channels and reports their signal strength. This seems to have fixed the problem oddly enough.

If you have all three of your recording requests (two Series and one one-off) set to Stop: 10 minutes after (hard post-padding) then I would expect that all three would add the additional 10 minutes to the end, and would record any conflicting recordings on a separate tuner.
