Can the InfiniTV PCI 4 and InfiniTV 6 ETH co-exist?
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.chuck wrote:Greetings all, I have been running the PCI 4 in a tv server for more that a year, serving the rest of the house.

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!
