I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue:
I have been using the Infinitv4 with Comcast for 1 year. I all of the sudden got a "Cable card not valid" signal from the WMC and Ceton Diagnostic Tool
I replaced my cable card. Tried 2 different ones and am getting the same thing.
I tried to reinstall Ceton SW, including drivers. Same thing.
Replaced the Infinitv4 with a new one. Same thing
Made sure that Bridge Connection was set to Yes.
Can anyone help me out here?

I forgot to mention that I can also see on the Ceton Online tool when they actually activate the card.

Not Valid or not Validated? I don't believe we have a "not valid" message

Sorry, "A valid cable card was not detected." On my computer Ceton Diagnostic Tool
It says on the online status that it was "validated" and I watched it move from "not-validated"

If you go to the web page of the InfiniTV, does it see the CableCARD there? If so, this is likely a firewall issue. If not, please make sure that the CableCARD is properly inserted, and failing that, replace the CableCARD.

That was it!!! You are money!!erkotz wrote: If so, this is likely a firewall issue.
Quick follow up question.... Since I have purchased the additional Infinitv4 and have the additional Cable card, can I run 2 on Windows Media Center or is it limited to one (i.e. 4 streams).
Just trying to determine whether I should return.
Can't say enough how much I appreciate it!!

You can have more than one InfiniTV4 installed and access 8 tuners at once (at least in Windows 7).pchill wrote:Quick follow up question....

you mentioned this solved your problem, but I didn't catch what was done to fix it.
I have the same exact issue. turned off firewall and aV and still not working.
my problem stared when I opened my case to reset the bios (had a bios issue) and to get to the system, I had to remove the ceton card.
when I reinserted the card and booted, started getting the "no valid cablecard found" error just like you.
car has been working for years and now it seems it's no longer recognized.

No joy.
I dumped cable TV and went to OTA.
