Was surfing through a few channels tonight on the STB. Was surprised to find some of them broadcasting in Spanish. Found out that if you bump the diamond shaped D button on the remote, you can change the language. It appeared that a few of my channels had the same problem, which suggests that the...

If anyone else is using a Ceton Infinitv (4 pcie) on Comcast in Snohomish County WA I would like to know if you can record channel 105 (KING HD)? Starting about Feb. 25th all my recordings fail on that channel with an error that recording has been blocked by the provider. In the tuner's web page...

From Verizon's FAQ:

Why has the TV or other device connected to my CableCARD suddenly lost access to certain FiOS channels?

To continue to enhance and maintain the FiOS TV network, Verizon occasionally launches a maintenance release or network upgrade which could impact your access to certain...

Given they just released their livetv app for roku I think they are close to finally doing this.

Hi all. Just received a letter from Comcast stating they are switching cable TV format to mpeg4 Oct 26th for Portland OR metro area. I've read on other forums that my Ceton PCIe4 Infinitv tuners will work fine after the change, but my integrated graphics on my intel Core i3 530 will not be able to...

Since the great ZAP2IT/ROVI debacle of July 2015, I am noticing some channels that were once copy freely are now copy once. Can anyone in the New York area confirm that stations like MSNBC (723 in Brooklyn) are now copy protected? Who can you complain to about this? This makes it impossible to...

I know the Dish Hopper/Joey has a method to transfer shows to iPAD for viewing elsewhere. I am wondering what the quality is and also wondering if there is a way to atomate that transfer and then convert to a format that media center can use. I am thinking about alternatives to cablevision.

I also...

On my Comcast bill I see a charge for two Additional Outlet Service - HS Converted Promotion @ $9.95 each.

I'm also getting charged $1.00 for two Cablecards.

And a discount of $5.00 for customer owned equipment.

These are for my 2 ETH's.

Is everyone being charged like this?

It seems a bit...

> So far, the switch to Rovi has gone smoothly for me with no real issues other than the Fox News channel coming up as copy protected now.

Are you on Fios? If yes, then take a look at

(Fox is telling Verizon to set the Copy Once flag, and it doesn't have anything to do with Rovi; it's...

Is anyone using SiliconDust or Ceton CableCard tuners when they also have an Xfinity X1 DVR?

The new Comcast claims that their recorded programs can be viewed remotely and even downloaded to devices for later viewing - is an interesting option, to use in addition to having WMC.

I'm on FIOS right now; but the mutiliated their mid-tier package in our area bout 6 months ago. Is there a way to get new service from Comcast with just a cable card? I'm assuming i'd miss out on any and all promos but the mid-tier Comcast package includes a lot more channels than FIOS does; ie NFL...

Charter just paid $55Billion to purchase TimeWarnerCable and Brighthouse for $10Billion

I sure hope that TWCs draconian practices re copy protections and cablecard prices do not get adopted by Charter...

It has been about a month, so it must be time for another TWC issue to creep up. Randomly, both of my TA's crapped out tonight, sort of. They are still connected and showing a status of ready on the HDHR Config GUI, and solid green lights. However I still cannot view any SDV channels. Every/any SDV...

I have been recording shows for over a year now and previously did on comcast in Pennsylvania back before Digital was enabled.

I have been trying to compile a number of shows for when I cut the cord because I just cant stand it anymore... or the price.

When I first started I had AMC SyFy and...

I guess some customer service from some cable companies needs a reboot.

More so than the name calling; what I find offensive is that since they control not just the cable service, but the local stations as well they get to squash what should have been a reportable story.

Reminds me of certain...

Time Warner Cable completed the Los Angeles Digital rebuild on Nov 18. At that time they said there would be no clear QAM available. There have now been two serious problems since that conversion.

On December 2, 2014 at least in the West Valley region (Chatsworth Headend) the PBS stations starting...

Hi,

I have been using the Win7 MediaCenter-Ceton tuner combo for a long time.
Just wondering if anything changed on the OnDemand support? Or else, is there a Xfinity plugin?

So since Monday morning my infinitv 4 has been trying to update the latest firmware update from the cable company and it never updates, long story short called a tech from Time Warner over and he tried 2 other cable cards that did the same never update the firmware, and he couldn't fix it. So now I...

I don't think this is possible, but I figured I would confirm here. I would like to know if it is possible to remotely reboot a Cisco STA1520 tuning adapter. Every once in awhile I have issues where both of them start wigging out at the same time. I get repeated error messages in my HDHR Prime...

Can the Firmware on a Motorola CableCARD be updated? If so, is this something that I request from my cable provider or can I do it through an app or WMC?

The line up for Time Warner Cable in the Raleigh, NC area just changed last week. In order to get the new line up, I followed pretty much the same path as described in this St. Louis thread:

However, now I'm getting the display driver error - the video playback device does not support playback of...

With the miniaturization of many current electronic products, does anyone else get the feeling that the size of the Cisco 1520 TAs is purposely made to be large and clunky? It has been SEVERAL years now that the TAs have been made available, and yet no attempt to reduce the size of these units.

So I had to call TWC (again) for the 2nd time in 6 days regarding problems with my bill. It's a good thing they make it so easy to check my balance and view my bill online (one of the few things they get right these days). I am looking at a holiday card sitting on the desk in front of me, which...
