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...

Greetings.
I've got two HTPCs each with an InfiniTV 4. PC 1 is wired to the LAN, PC 2 has an Archer T6E (AC 1300). PC 3 also has an Archer T6E (AC 1300). The wireless PCs (2 & 3) currently share tuners (2 each). That setup has been in effect for years. Previously I ran older 'N' 450 TP-Links...

Hello,
I have been using my dual Ceton infiniTV 6 set up for a long time with no changes on Windows 7 x64 with EPG123. Everything has been working fine for years without issues until recently.
It looks like for ESPN and Science Channel (622), no programs show up when I try to tune the channel...

I noticed if I clicked set program a few times, eventually the program IDs would show up.
I ran the AllCetonSignals.hta script that rolls through all of the channels and reports their signal strength. This seems to have fixed the problem oddly enough.

If you have all three of your recording requests (two Series and one one-off) set to Stop: 10 minutes after (hard post-padding) then I would expect that all three would add the additional 10 minutes to the end, and would record any conflicting recordings on a separate tuner.

You can't fix it. The Ceton cards have a crappy NVRAM chip. Once the chip fails, you cannot update the firmware any more. That is why they went out of business. Throw out the Ceton tuner and get a Silicondust HRHomeRun Prime.
