Of all the things that could go wrong, this is one that I had not anticipated.

First post
I recently re-did all of my WMC PCs with Windows 7 64-bit and I remember when I re-did my HTPCs (with 32-bit) years ago, Ceton recommended a few different Windows hotfixes (outside of the standard ones) to help with pixelating on my EHT6 tuner. I submitted a ticket about 2 weeks ago with them, but...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Although I'm using the ETH6 tuner (network), that article does mention network tuners as well.

I have had my Infinitv 4 pci-e since I was on the waiting list at the rollout. It has been great and I love Media Center. The problem is that I stupidly let a HDMI cable fall onto the live card and I let the magic smoke out so it is dead now. The only visual problem is one SMD transistor is burned....

Hi all
I've been having performance issues on my system these past few months and I think i tracked it down to a bad tuner on my 4 tuner PCIe card. Its fine after a reboot, but slowly degrades and makes the system perform poorly on top of it. Here are a few questions:

I thought of that temp issue. They hover between 59 and 65. It was much hotter at first and I did add a fan which helped. I remember talking to Ceton about it years ago. They indicated that anything below 65 would be ok.

The Ceton eth uses a weird cable to connect to the tuning adapter, something like a mini usb B to a full size usb B cable. I would be extremely surprised if a cable company had any of these laying around actually.

Occasionally some of the recordings have only audio.
