I have been using Media Center since the XP days and am now on Windows 8. I have 2 Avermedia USB tuners connected to Comcast cable with no Cable Card. I'm considering switching my internet to Verizon Fios. I have 5 TVs so if I switch to FIOS I would like to avoid paying for 5 set top boxes. I am...

Is it likely a transcoding HDHR with cable card will ever exist?
We hope so, but no official word. I wouldn't hold out for it.

A lot of us are waiting to see how Android TV shapes up.

I'm new to this scene and am trying to decide if I should buy the HDHomeRun Prime vs. a CETON Infnitv 6 ETH. I understand the Prime only has 3 tuners vs. 6 tuners in the Infinitv 6 but figure if I really need 6 tuners then I can buy two HDHomeRun Primes (still costs less than one Infinitv 6)....

Last post

Also note that the issue is not caused by the Prime, but by the MTR700 and thus can potentially affect any OCUR device on a cable system using that TA even though SD has released a workaround patch for the Prime.

Beta Prime FW for those affected:

when the left LED is red the PC is powered off.

When both left and green LEDs are flashing or just on both tuners are being used.

Well we are trying to cut down the amount of TV we watch and removing channels is a good way to do that. I'd still like to record network shows so I want to keep WMC. Is the HDHR Plus worth the $50 upgrade from the new HDHR4 to receive OTA channels?

not sure of the status of your problem, but you could disabling that tuner for just the Fox station, then the other tuners will rearrange assignments automatically.

Yeah, that is what I ended up doing as an interim solution, until I can build a second antenna to get better FOX reception.

TWC uses a technology called Switched Digital Video (SDV). How this works is, instead of sending every channel they provide at all times, which would be mapped according to industry standard, they systematically decide what frequency to send a channel on.
