[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1178095, member: 82144"] Well, if the FOX channels really are DRM-protected, replacing the tuner won't make a difference. If the channels are DRM'd with one tuner, they'll be DRM'd with all tuners. DRM'd channels cannot be viewed or recorded by MediaPortal. Period. WMC is currently the only software that would enable you to view or record DRM'd channels. If the FOX channels are so important to you, I suggest you confirm why you're not able to view them in MP. All the signs I've seen so far from the information you've provided suggest the reason is that they're DRM-protected. Verizon should be able to confirm this if you don't trust the Ceton website/diagnostic info. Another way to confirm would be to try viewing them with other software. If you think it's plausible that tuner hardware damage is the real cause then sure, replace the tuner... but I don't recommend this unless you have good evidence of damage. Like I said, I currently have no reason to believe that there is damage. My opinion is that the channels are DRM-protected, and therefore getting a new tuner wouldn't help you. [/QUOTE]
