TheGreenButton - Windows Media Center Forums

I am currently using Media Center on my W10 Desktop as per the popular hack. I am a long time WMC user but never used a cable card. Want to get plan with Mediacom Burlington IA for Fox Sports Midwest. Just doing local HD QAM and OTA with HD Homerun tuner now. Almost pushed button on TIVO Bolt but I'm cheap. What do you think my chances are getting this to work. Also, what tuner would you recommend if you think possible. I fear it will be hard enough to get support for cable card for TIVO let alone WMC.

Thanks
Bill

Ceton or HDR tuners seem to work fine on Windows 10.... I personally use a Ceton Infintv 6 PCI-e card with no problems on Windows 10 using the 8.1 driver.

Just make sure you are using the v12 version and do some reading, this has been answered tons of times now. Cablecard does work, Extenders do work with a add-on hack (do not work out of the box). Extenders mean 360's only, 3rd party extenders do not work under 8.1 or 10 at this point.

What is the complete file name of the popular hack you used? There are around 10-20 versions and depending on which one you used, the un-install instructions may be different.

Might be best to post in the forum where all these versions originated.

Thanks everyone, I should be good for now. I will have to try first with a HomeRun Prime. I will let you know if I have any luck Friday.

As a final followup, the card supplied by Mediacom worked good in Burlington Iowa. Home Run Prime WMC setup went smooth.

I have the same problem. I am running Windows 10 Pro with a Silicon Dust tuner and a Cox cable card. WMC worked well under Windows 8.1.
I upgraded to Windows 10 and followed instructions to install WMC. WMC installed and I went through WMC setup and had
Cox pair the cable card. I ran Play Ready. I have a guide and each channel lists the Silicon tuners as a source. Every channel
I try says no TV signal available. I can view Live TV with HDHomeRun View and Kodi with good video and sound. WMC setup
found all the channels and lists the tuner as a source but cannot view them. Suggestions?

Thank you. The fix was allowing ehrecvr firewall access.
