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.
