A few questions have popped up about this so here is my short guide:
Tuner Pooling is a feature of the infiniTV 6 ETH and is supported on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs. This is a type of dynamic allocation of tuners which means that you can setup your infiniTV 6 ETH on multiple computers and...

I know it has been years since Ceton made product, but I thought downloads of install files and tech support were still possible, but I went to the website and nothing seemed to work at all. Anyone know?

Good to know. Many thanks. I must have hit it at a down time. Turns out I did not need to download anything as my OD image restore brought back what I needed. Good to know Ceton site is there for support, however. My Pcie6 and Echo are both rock solid after many years.

do you know what your uptx is at the cable card location? SDV operates using the return signal. It's possible for your return signal to be close to failing, (anything over 50dB), if its over 50dB then you will need to change you splitter configuration to improve the signal. This is something...

Yes, you need to use the standard/WMC codecs for playback of copy protected recordings and live TV. I assume that the newer Shark codec pack replaced the standard codecs used by WMC and the older pack did not.

Many people did exactly that--create a separate, private network with the ETH6. No router needed. Search the forum--and go WAY back.
