No TV Signal error - Ceton InfiniTV USB

#1

I noticed that the WMC notification showed "No TV Signal".
I opened WMC and saw that the show was recording so I checked the Ceton web page.
2 tuners were on the same channel with good ~2 dBmV signals.
The stopped tuner showed "Copy Control Information: "Copy Never" (0x03)"
The playing tuner showed "Copy Control Information: "Copy Free" (00)"

What does this mean? Was the copy protection really changing and did the stopped tuner get tuned at an unfortunate? Was this a glitch in the signal?

Sounds like thats what may have happened. Do you have it to tune a few minutes before the show? Maybe the previous show had a different flag and it started with that flag.

These are the Copy Control Information Flags.

0x00 - Copy freely - Content is not copy protected.
0x01 - Copy No More - A copy of the content has already occurred and no more copies are permitted.[2]
0x02 - Copy Once - A recording can be made, but that is it.
0x03 - Copy Never - the content can be recorded and viewed for 90 minutes after transmission, and is not transferable.
0x04 - Content is Copy Once for digital output, but would have Macrovision 7 Day Unlimited restriction applied on the analog outputs. This affects content viewed either on an HDTV with component cabling or on a standard definition TV. It also affects content saved to VCR or DVD when the recorder is connected to an analog output on the DVR.
0x07 - Content is Copy Never for digital content (deleted after 90 minutes) and Macrovision 7 day/24 hour for content recorded from analog channels. Content cannot be transferred via TiVoToGo transfers or MRV, and cannot be saved to VCR or DVD.
