Does anyone use Astound for Cable? I'm moving into my friends town home and he has Astound rather than Comcast. A quick google search didn't show anything Ceton related. I know Astound has cable cards, but I want to get confirmation that Ceton tuners will work ok with Astound. Anyone use Astound or...

If they have cable cards, there is no reason why they wouldn't work... Its more a question of how competent their employees are.

I saw PRTG Network monitor for the first time in one of Venom's posts. Recently I got it working so that I can monitor the in's and out's of a managed switch. As an added bonus PRTG monitors my internal Ceton card too. I see now why the Cableco charges more for HD. On my system non HD runs at about...

The only caveat with that is tinker time will be limited to in between non stop recording and viewing of total drivel!

Hello,
Long time lurker - first -time poster. You guys usually have discussed all the problems I have....but I'm not quite sure if my problem is comparable to the reboot issues others are having with the Infinitv4.

Got the new card.
Probably made reinstalling the new one harder than I had to in some way by not going back over instructions....but I finally got it back up and running after about an hour.
Tested the problem by doing a PC restart after I had gained CP Auth from the Cable Co. Kept the CP Auth!...

^^ Not necessarily true. Problems can and do get solved on this forum without creating a ticket with a manufacturer.
It really depends on the specifics to the issue at hand. Posting here (or indeed searching for your issue here or the 'other' places) is the first step I would propose.

Your hardware upgrade had nothing to do with the copy protection flags. Yes, Verizon recently notified customers that they will start using the copy-once flag on some premium channels such as HBO.

Two days ago, I stopped being able to get any channel above 100. The DTAs I have are fine. I swapped out he cable card but still cannot get a signal past channel 99. Has anyone had this issue before. I have a ticket in with Ceton but thought it could not hurt to ask.

Do you mean Tuning Adapters? You should not be using a DTA with the InfiniTV. What error do you receive when trying to tune a problematic channel?

Also, just to circle back on this, all OCURs (including the InfiniTV) are one-way devices - there is no way they can see your CableCARD. Glad to hear that you're up and running!
