My wife brought home a new WebOS tv the other day. She wants to set it up headless and use the Plex app. We have been using an ETH6 with 2 W8 WMC PCs for 3+ years now. Tuner issues happen weekly and I will not miss the ETH6. If I rebuild my 2 W8/WMC PCs as Win 10/Plex will I be disappointed? I have...

Look into EMBY, its live TV is way more developed than plex. And its app development is fast catching up.

So the different power adapter didn't seem to solve the issue. I called Comcast and re-paired the CableCARD just to make sure it wasn't an issue there.

Swapping identical cards

If I swap identical cards, does Media Center tuner configuration need to be re-run, or can the replacement card be paired by TWC-Spectrum to the CableCard given the information from the Diagnostics Tool?
Thanks.

The MAC address will change...if you run two cards they would obviously need different MAC addresses. I know when I switch cards 4 to 4, I need to recall my cable company and have them re pair.

Open WMC in windowed mode. Open up the Ceton Diagnostic Tool, go to the CableCARD tab. Recreate the tuner problem in WMC. Does CableCARD Entitlement turn red when you get the no tuner? If so remove and reseat your CableCARD. Plan to go get a new CableCARD.
You can also test Tuner #3 from here too....

I would suggest that you open the Ceton Diagnostics and observe each tab waiting for the failure. The diagnostic will show you what fails when you see No Tuner in WMC.
