InfiniTV 4 USB - Win 8 & 10 drivers?
Any word as to driver updates for the Infinitv 4 USB to support Windows 10? Also, is there any reason that you are aware of that they didn't offer Win 8 drivers for the Infinitv 4 USB?

The fact that WMC isn't included anymore is irrelevant. It's supported by both NextPVR and SageTV. In fact, I am currently using mine in Win10 with both programs. Yes, I can't record encrypted programming, but this isn't a deal breaker for me.
Ceton only released beta drivers for the InfiniTV 4 USB in Win8, but they work quite adequately in Win10. I think they didn't bother going any further because they had just released the 6 ETH around that time, and they were trying to push users towards that tuner.
The only caveat I might add is that you might need to check Device Manager after every reboot because the drivers don't always load at boot. If you see a yellow triangle in the Device Manager next to the tuner, right click on it and disable it, then right click on.it again to enable it.
But just because you don't have WMC on your system doesn't mean your tuner's useless.
And apparently someone's actually managed to get WMC installed and working on Win10. Haven't read anything about if the PVR is functional and if it works with PlayReady 3.0, but there's no reason it shouldn't, since the code base is the same as Win8.

IIRC, USB was abandoned due to changes in the the way USB operated under win8/win10

Then that might explain why I have to disable and re-enable it in Device Manager.
