WMC shows All Tuners are currently in use message when I cleared scheduling, Ceton card all green ,firmware up to date. Rebooted computer and lost Ceton card again.

I just built a new HTPC.. got a EVGA Z68 SLI Micro motherboard, Intel 2700k core i7 CPU, 8GB Corsair RAM. The system works great. I have two infiniTV units one internal PCIe one USB. The PCIe unit works flawless but everytime I plug in my infiniTV USB and either restart or shutdown the PC and try...

Hi all,

Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I had a HTPC running Win7 ultimate x 64 media center with a Ceton Infinitv tuner using a cablecard from Comcast. I noticed that about maybe half of the movies I recorded from Comcast's HD premium channels like Encore, HBO, and...

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.

I purchased my Ceton 4 several months ago, had issues with my install, knew I was moving so I put it off until I moved. We'll I've moved and now I'm back to trying to set my card up and I'm really struggling; issue being, I'm not really sure what my issue is. The issue I'm currently dealing with is...

Hi,

My Ceton Infinitv4 works great almost all the time. The only problem I hit is the tuners go into a messed up state anytime I use my PC to connect into work via VPN. After I connect, I'll often get a Service Unavailable . I think sometimes this will also say something like Tuner Error . After I...

I've enjoyed my InfiniTV for a long time but had to turn off Windows firewall and use Microsoft Security Essentials to get it to work. Bad choice as I got a nasty virus.
Rebuilt the PC with a fresh Win7 and Norton 360. But no matter how many tweaks I make to the Norton 360 firewall rules/settings,...

I just took a firmware update on my USB InfiniTV. Then I moved it to a different PC to be a Clear QAM tuner. When running tuner setup, the tuner reboots and doesn't get recognized automatically. I can then do manual Clear QAM setup and it will find all the channels. After that, tuning some channels...

FiosTV (Frontier) - Based in Kirkland, Washington.
The FiosTV coax cable is going through the frontier Wireless router then connecting to the Ceton card.

Issue
So on Sat Frontier came out and installed FiosTV for me which I'm putting through a Ceton 4 tuner PCI...

So,

I just got this installed. I am having a problem where non-local channels are getting Subscription Required and all the local channels work fine. I have Fios Ultimate so pretty much all the channels. Is there anything I can do? Or do I need a new cablecard?

Hi there, I have a ceton PCIe device that has been working properly for the past few weeks but now I have been running into issues this week. Some quick info, I am running a brand new built computer, A83.0 GHZ processor, 12gigs RAM, 2 terabyte HD with 2 1 terabyte backups,new gigabite motherboard...

Diagnostic Utility states that there is a firmware update for the InfiniTV version 1.1.7.2 non beta out now.
I was able to flash my PCIe card no problem, However the Diag. Utility still states that the USB version is up to date with the old firmware. 1.1.2.4
Where can I DL the official 1.1.7.2 and...

I have 2 Ceton Infinitvs installed in my media center. Originally i had 1 installed and working well. I installed the second tuner, paired it with the cable company and now i cannot get live tv at all while using tuner sharing. If i do not do tuner sharing, all 8 tuners work perfectly. I put in a...

I Have found a used ceton card is there better built unit? early vs late? Should i Just save the hassle and but new?

I am wondering if there is a diagnostic tool or something inside WMC that will allow me to type in 1 channel number and see if every tuner that I have can successfully tune to it. I have 2 ceton cards and I would like to provide a channel number and see if all eight tuners can tune to it. I am...

A couple weeks ago I installed a Ceton, had it paired, etc. I'm building a new machine this weekend. When I move the card over, will it have to be paired again? I didn't know if the smartcard was paired with the PC, or the Ceton.

(On a side note, I've got 2 channel 933's listed in my guide. One is...

I've installed a Ceton pcie infinitv. After completing installation including cable card activation, Media center will not display live tv, the picture will display, sound will loop and then I receive a video error message. However I had inadvertently scheduled recording a series and yesterday I...

I've got an issue I'm hoping someone here has a solution to..... of course :D

Awhile ago I moved my ceton into my win 2011 home server. This has been working very well for me except for one annoying issue. Now that my tuner is bridged to my gigabit nic, I have lost a substantial amount of network...

I'm hoping someone here can help me! I am unable to tune one channel with SDV Error 1. I opened ticket # #EIV-267-21845 with Ceton support and their reply after a lengthy wait was Is channel 768 the only channel you receive SDV 1 errors on? An SDV 1 error means tuning resolution cannot be...

Can anyone recommend one over the other as far as reliability (or any other reason)? I'm new to WMC, and switching over from Sage. Would appreciate any advice on which would be better to buy. Thanks!

i will start this topic by stating that i already have a ticket open with ceton about my problem. the problem started about a week after getting my card a couple months ago, the card would lose focus in the system and couldn't be found again requiring a complete reinstall of the drivers. this...

Just checked my Ceton Diagnostic Utility and there is an Updated Firmware to version 1.1.2.4 available.

Whenever my HTPC is not active, it goes into the normal sleep mode. When I wake it from sleep, it seems to take a very long time (2 min +/-) for the tuners to recognize the cable card signal. During this time it usually says no service available on this channel or something to that effect. But then...

Well Been fighting my tuner for the last couple of weeks. Use to run just perfect, But i think I finally got something figured out.

Used to be member of the old green button, glad to see it has returned.

It all started when the signal/picture on the tv would start skipping/studder or pausing,...

I have gone through these steps umpteen times with no success..Hoping someone can guide me.
My setup -
I have Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner USB version that is attached to one PC running Windows 7.
I completed the hardware/cabling setup as suggested by Ceton guide and downloaded/installed thier...

Ok here is the situation,

I have a Ceton Infinitv 4 with full firmware and driver updates, the tuner works great until I go to share it and then it totally disappears from my computer, I have to uninstall and reinstall and reboot to get it back. Not sure what the problem is as I follow the Ceton...

Finally got a replacement tuner from Ceton over some ongoing issues I have had, and as I predicted, took over 30 minutes to get my CC paired with the new tuner! When the CC support desk answered, I specifically stated that I was moving my CC into a new piece of hardware, and that they needed to...

I've had a ticket open with support on this for some time now, but I'm not seeing much happening. I thought I'd see if I'm the only one having this.

When I first installed, I would constantly get partial recordings. I could easily reproduce by launching 4 recordings at once. Further, the box would...

While not a major issue I'd like to increase the speed that the tuner takes to change channels. I have a Ceton USB InfiniTV 4. I was wondering what determines the speed that channels take to tune and what are the ways to increase it. Would a hardware upgrade help. Processor, Memory Graphics Card...

Does anyone have this setup? I can't get the Google Music Manager to work with the Ceton card enabled. I haven't found anything specific on the net and was wondering if anyone had this experience.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out what recordings are scheduled (start/stop times) via a script? I know that you can find the information in WMC, and would have thought it was stored somewhere else too. I am trying to help out a family member that put an Infinitv 4 card in a cheap...

I have one Ceton card installed and it works great with a tuning adapter, multistream cable card through tw. Of course, now that I have 4 tuners I want 8. I don't want to add another internal adapter because of possible heat problems.

1. Has anyone tried one internal and one usb Ceton adapter in...

Looked for a forum, request area at cetoncorp.com but didn't see anything so I thought I'd try posting here.

I'd like to clean up my MC home page (menu),and don't want to use MC Studio. The only thing I use from Extras is the Ceton Program(s).

It would be great if Ceton could move the Ceton Tile...

Hi Everyone,

I purchased a 2nd Ceton Infinitv4 card (which i should get on Thursday), which I am planning on installing in the same PC as the 1st card & planning on using Tunersalad so I get 8 tuners (if all goes right). I was wondering if anybody had any tips or anything that would help with the...

I've been having a host of small and intermittent problems with my Ceton InfiniTV tuner/MCE/ Comcast Cable HTPC which, in aggregate, pointed to Comcast's inability to reliably deliver adequate signal strength to the input of the Ceton tuner. Symptoms included, but were not limited to: occasional...

I'm getting around to adding a second InfiniTV 4 to my setup whenever TWC decides to send out the Cable Card i requested. My current card gets signal strengths that are typically -7.5 to -5.0 dBmV. I have a Electroline 4-way amp outside the house and runs entering the house in four different...

I've provided some data to support, but I thought I'd see if this was a known issue here. Maybe someone can show me how to reproduce at will so I can get fresh diagnostic info.

I see recordings as partial. In some cases they stop altogether. Other times they stop and restart. Either way the...

I am just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem.
Long story short: I received my InfiniTV-4 12/07/10. I installed it and it worked great, I never updated anything. In June of 2011 I thought I would try the network bridging option. In order to do that I had to upgrade my drivers, HW & FW....

Just got an e-mail this morning from Ceton that InfiniTV4 USB is available at Newegg, Amazom, Fluid digital, Cannon, and couple other places...

Hi guys,

Thinking about going down the Ceton route, it will be installed in a HTPC in my living room and I wanted to check if I can access live and recorded content on that HTPC from another computer in my bedroom on 7MC? Is that possible?

Thanks

Get yours here:

I just saw this on Ceton's Twitter feed... don't know if this is news or not.

Recently, I've been having a problem with updating the Ceton card with the latest 1.0.9.5 firmware. I would update it via the Ceton diagnostic tool where it would correctly update it to 1.0.9.5. Reboot my PC and everything is fine. Both the Ceton diagnostic tool and web console page identifies the...

All,

I'm about to help a friend set up his 7MC with internal Ceton. I'm going to take the lessons learned from my experience over the last 6 months and, with luck, do a quick and smooth install on a brand new machine.

One difference: he has two Ceton cards that we'll be installing. I've not done...

Have successfully paired my Ceton Cable Card tuner and am able to view all of the channels in my lineup. The problem is, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum, the guide data continually says no data available after a guide listing have been downloaded successfully message. I don't receive...

I'm moving to another city and will be trying out FIOS. I currently use TWC with the Ceton PCI-E card. What do I need to do to prep WMC for the move? Will setting a new cable card erase all my scheduled series? Is there an way to print out a listing of my recorded series so I can re-input them in...

Comcast here in Portland Oregon has made a handful of lineup changes, and added a few new channel numbers. in the past with my OTA/QAM tuners i would just rescan for the signal and add or change the channels. Now with my Ceton I don't see a way to make the changes. I have downloaded the current...

Last week Comcast detected a signal leak so they reduced my signal until the signal leak could be repaired. Once they did this I lost my OOB lock and my pairing. The next day I had them come out to repair the leak and they bumped my signal back up, but we could not get the OOB lock to occur. Hed...

Has anyone seen this before? I've used this card successfully with both TWC and Suddenlink (I'm on Suddenlink now). At some point in time, not sure if it correlates to the latest firmware, I started getting the following behavior:

A cold power-on yields a perfectly functioning CableCard and tuner....

i've networked the infinitv card before but now i'm wanting to install the card in my office PC and hve it act as a tuner sever for my 2 HTPC systems. does it require that media center be running on all 3 PC's at all times for the networking wizard to work or can i simply set it up on the office PC...

I currently have 2 Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuners in my Windows 7 HTPC. I have the latest firmware and drivers from Ceton (official, not beta) and have their network tuner sharing software installed.

I go into their diagnostic tool and can see each of my cards in the drop down menu and the first one is...

I may have to go in for one of these...

I have version 1.0.3.2, which my Ceton diagnostic tool says is up to date. However, the page lists 4 more recent versions. Are ALL of these beta versions?

I'm having a few small issues and would like to try a newer firmware than 1.0.3.2, do I need to join the beta program?

Thanks,
Tony

Finally.. Been waiting for this.. Glad to see that it has passed and is on its way to us soon. Now hopefully the 6 Tuner version isn't far behind. More info here:

So I have a spare 250 gig drive that I am going to be using as my main OS drive replacing my current 75 gig drive.

Currently I have my Ceton installed and paired with my HTPC (with Cablevision). My question is, if I install a new hard drive with a fresh copy of Windows 7, am I going to be able to...

Hard to give an accurate subject line so bare with me! :)

Have two Cetons with Mot TAs, each in a separate PC. One Ceton PC (the master HTPC with the extenders & main TV) has a ceton that isn't network shared. The other Ceton PC (the WHS server that's serving tuners to the kids PCs & my laptop)...

Greetings all--
Got Dad's ceton installed & paired (Broadstripe Cable in Michigan- Not on SDV). I'm running into a problem & I don't know if it's MediaCenter, PlayReady, Ceton, or CableCO problem.

The problem is that all four tuners work great-- no problems with any of the digital channels; but,...

So the Birthday Gods have smiled on me (received my present early and ordered my Ceton card). So now I have a query:

My HTPC sits beneath my HDTV in an enclosed wooden entertainment system. It's housed in an NMediaPC 200BA case (system specs to the left). While the case does fine at keeping my...

I own a InfiniTV 4 and mine is working great. I have a friend however that is having some troubles. He has good signal at the back of the Ceton, +2 Dbmv and gets a QAM lock before the cable card is paired. When the cable tech pair's the cable card the Ceton loses QAM lock and never regaines it. The...

Hi,
With the price drop of the Ceton cards, I just built myself a new media center PC. Now that I have the one card working, I'm thinking its time to add a second quad tuner. I'm unsure if I have a good enough computer to handle 8 streams..

I just ordered a Ceton tuner to add to my system, which currently has a pair of HVR-2250s. I have them connected to my cable connection to get ClearQAM.

I have a nice external antenna that is currently dropped (I'm remodeling my house). I was considering not putting it back up, but was unsure if I...

This is my first post to the new forum. This is definitely more friendly than the M$ site.

I am setting up a 7MC system for a friend that has TW. I have COX and my experience is only with them using the InfiniTV card. Has anyone setup the InfiniTV card with TW in the San Diego area? If so what I...
