Had issues with my Infinitv ETH6 last week. When I thought I would be without my tuners for a while until I could obtain and configure a new unit, I got a DVR from Spectrum for the interim. What a painful experience using that DVR. Amazing how superior WMC from Windows 7 days is compared to the DVR...

Just got hit with the latest round of price increases from our local monopolist. It forced me to look closely at my bill and I see that where I used to (years ago I recall) get a credit for not using their cable box (I have WMC with Ceton Tuner), I have a check mark next to Customer Owned Equipment...

I just learned that the Xfinity Stream App now has capability to live stream cable to Google Chromecast device using your phone. Quality looks excellent from testing. This has me rethinking my network setup. This essentially would let me:

1. Rent 1 less cable card from Comcast (I rent two)
2....

Hello!

I am having signal strength issues with my Ceton infiniTV4, so I am looking at getting an amplifier to boost the signal.

My question is in regards to if I can place the amplifier inline directly before the tuner card (and tuning adapter)? It would replace the current 2-way...

I brought this up a couple of years back with the Motorola modem-router-wireless version of the unit. I recently got talked into the triple play bundle which was lower than my cable-internet. I specifically told the rep that I had a problem with the combo units in the past and didn't want to change...

I was just watching NBC live from the plex app on my tablet and noticed that the original feed said 1080p. I thought that's impossible since I have Comcast and they changed all their channels to 720p this year.
I immediately went onto WMC, hit the trusty 411 Information, and BAM... 1080p! 1920 X...

I just wanted to check to see if this is just me or have others been experiencing this problem.

since the change to H.264 when viewing recordings WMC frequently locks up and it seems to happen when I skip forward or backwards. I am not sure if it is because I use the skip function too many times...

Why does your cable provider only allow 2 streams? If you have an M-card it should allow up to 6 streams per device (if the device supports it).

I've read that the FCC requires cable providers to allow at least 4 streams per CableCard, although I just saw this in forum posts and don't know about...

So, since Comcast has converted my market to Enhanced HD several months ago, obviously the video quality has been degraded visibly. I do have a TiVo Bolt+ as well, and (at least subjectively) the video quality on the 720p channels is a bit more palatable on the Bolt (looks sharper and better...

Looks like Comcast is in the process of a sneak attack. The channels are all miss-matched when I compare their STB to HTPC.

For example Starz on the HTPC is 1980

On the STB Starz is 1779

I was watching Alaskan Bush People and it just disappeared with a note that the STB was getting updated....

I am preparing to replace my Ceton tuner card and was curious if any of the published CableCard activation phone numbers still work. It does not appear that their online activation form can accomplish this as it did when I initially set this up with TWC.

I appreciate any input on this. Thanks.

We received notification overnight that TWC was changing to Spectrum. This morning we woke up with a gift of a fouled up channel lineup. Nearly all of our upper channels (anything higher than 150) was tuning the wrong channel. Locals are tuning public access. If I try to tune channel 1301-ESPN, it...

Not sure if this is the correct section. I saw this over at the Comcast forums

Cable card self activation link:

without getting into a political discussion, I was just wondering what others think will happen with with the pending change in the FCC and regulatory climate.

will things move back to more cable company control?

or are the corporate forces outside the cable industry strong enough to keep the...

Looks like AT&T just released their online TV service (regardless of your current TV and/or Internet Service Provider) to the US and it seems to have all the usual channels (including regional sports). They appear to be limited to AppleTV, AmazonFire Stick, and Google Chrome browsers for now; but,...

So is this right? All the channels I've found that have moved to MPEG4/H.264, according to 411info, show a native size of 1280x720. Is anyone else seeing or aware of Comcast reducing the resolution of channels along with this conversion? I swear before conversion the channels I've looked at were...

This sounds either a) interesting or b) concerning

I know its not the same as TWC but interesting to see how they handle content

I was stoked to see as of yesterday that legacy TWC customers could change to the Charter plans.

So I called to make it happen! Bad idea. I should have left it a week or two. One of my CableCARD's hot removed from the DAC's database and none of my tuning resolvers are locking up. So I'm completely...

the letter I got from Comcast said that the switch would be happening on or about February 23, 2016.

so far I haven't seen any problems on the two WMC systems that I have. does anyone know if it has happened yet?

I'm using:
WMC on Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1
HD HomeRun Prime...

Hey folks, so I was just invited to be part of the Nielsen ratings. I seem to recall that they give you a 'box' that monitors your tv habits. Does anyone have any more information on what that entails? How would this work in the context of a single HTPC with cable card? Do they have a way to track...

I've been using Windows 7 Media Center for several years, and I like it. I have been a customer of the same cable company, Brighthouse Networks, since I started using Windows Media Center.

Next month, I will move from Florida to New Hampshire. My new cable company will be Comcast.

I don't know...

I'm moving in a week to Greenville, SC... Anyone have any experience with Charter Communications/Cable in that area using win7 MCE?

I'm told that they don't support unencrypted QAM at all (no NTSC rebroadcast. Most stopped a while ago anyway),
so it's either a cable box (12mos free DVR),
my...
