infinitv 4 network tuner setup
I remember seeing an option in WMC a long time ago when I first did my setup for network tuner. I finally have a use for it now and I can't seem to find that option. Was it removed thru an update? i search on google and saw someone mention that the option is no longer there. How do I setup a second computer to use the ceton that is on my first computer? i already have an htpc with windows 7 and the infinitv 4 pci-e setup. I'm trying to add a second htpc in another room.

I remember seeing that too. I didn't have much luck with Network Bridging in 2011-12. Ceton's site still claims to support it. As I recall when you install the drivers, you can select or not the network tuner feature set. I wouldn't take a run at that without getting a STB for the wife and kids. The path of least resistance is to just simply get a ETH 6 and plug it into your switch. Just tell the wife your getting it for her own good.

problem is that i already can build a 2nd htpc from spare parts. the eth6 gonna cost me $250+. i might just have to buy it if i can't figure out a solution. i'm worried about the reviews also. when it's good, it's really good. when it's bad, it's really horrible.Crash2009 wrote:I remember seeing that too.

It's an option when you install the drivers so you may need to reinstall to get it. Win7 only too if I remember correctly (from the PC sharing the tuner I mean). I tried it once and it worked fine.

You could always try the free option. http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 353#p74353 Works well for me, broadcasts my non-protected channels anywhere I want.
The negative reviews turned me off too. After doing the research, the chances are good for me, that the ETH 6 will fit in nicely in to my existing network environment.

I had to reinstall ceton drivers. Don't know why it disappear since I remember I did enable it the first time. I probably will try the infinitv 6 eth since setting up the infinitv 4 pcie network is a pain in the ass for me. I fix one issue then another pops up. ETH would be easier for what I want to do anyways. Thanks for the help.

Don't forget to clean up the mess. Set your tuner's IP back to default, and get rid of the bridge. http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 093#p23093dn3g3l wrote:I had to reinstall ceton drivers.
