Latest Ceton InfiniTV 4 Info Thread - Page 151

Holy S@#! batman, you can order it now. at least the network turner version is on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Ceton-InfiniTV-ETH-6-channel-CableCARD/dp/B00CBXEKZ0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1368558357&sr=8-3&keywords=InfiniTV6.

If you scroll up a few posts you'll see the Newegg link as well. I assume you aren't on the Ceton mailing list or you would have received their email a couple days ago.

Two things...updated to latest beta firmware this morning. So far so good. As another poster said, it does seem faster on channel changes. Of course could be the placebo effect.

Would like to get the six channel tuner. Not looking forward to re-pairing the cablecard with Comcast. Anyone done that lately with Comcast? It's been 1 1/2 years and it was pure hell to get things paired.

At least in the Comcast Houston area it is MUCH easier to just go to one of their storefronts and get another CableCard and start fresh with the new device. Then when you have it working return the old (now unneeded) CableCard. Repairing a card with a new device is a PITA.

yep, not on the mailing list, but this is awesome, I've been waiting a while for it to come out. I'll wait a little longer to ensure all the bugs are worked out, before I retire my infinitv4, and the release of the network turner was even a bigger surprise, totally stoked, that's the route I'm to go, I really need my PCIe slot back.

See the Moxi Hard Drive Replacement document linked in my signature below for some collective wisdom from Moxi owners about re-pairing with Comcast.

It might help you wade through that quagmire.

I installed my new Ceton Ifinitv6 ETH device today. It was replacing an infinitv4 card. Here are the steps I took:

I shutdown the sytstem.
I pulled the cablecard out of the I4 and then removed the I4 from my case and then powered back up my HTPC.
I plugged in the I6ETH and slid the cablecard in. The blue light blinked for a bit and then went solid. The I6ETH is plugged into a gigabit switch that my HTPC is also plugged into.
I then downloaded the latest version of the Ceton software for Windows 8 x64 and installed it without uninstalling the old version (this would cause problems for me later).
I then called Time Warner and gave them my old pairing info and then gave them the new pairing info. They had me pull up the device homepage and click on a few links to verify that everything paired up correctly. The call took about 10 minutes at most.
I then went into Windows Mediacenter and ran through the tv setup wizard and it found the new 6 tuner device and I was off and running.

I checked a few channels and then tried to upgrade the firmware on the I6ETH. I'd select the stable options and click the update button and the software would throw a .net error. I rebooted the computer a few times and then finally sent in a support ticket. I decided to uninstall the Ceton software, reboot and then I reinstalled the software and rebooted. I was then able to update the device without issue.

I'm currently watching TV on my XBox 360 with no issues. My HTPC is cooler now.

Cool. So you're not giving the beta tuner pooling a whirl yet? Is there any real world feedback on it?

There is a separate InfiniTV 6 thread BTW. I'm having difficulty following these now..

I'm not planning on using tuner pooling. I might try it out and see what happens though. Might be cool to record some protected content onto my work laptop for travel purposes.
