[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1178098, member: 82144"] To be very clear: the firmware update [B]may[/B] help... or it may not. I cannot give you any guarantees about that. It's actually hard to know. The screenshot from the Ceton webpage you provided showed that particular channel appeared to be protected with CGMS-A. That's where the relevance of the links I posted comes in. They say things like: [collapse]...until recently when the specification changed to allow the card to not provide a CCI flag (the digital indicator which notes Copy-Feely/Once/Never) on for content which should be marked Copy-Freely causing the DCT to fall back to CGMS-A, APS and RC (noted in Annex A above) which in most cases have random or incorrect values assigned. Requiring DRM on a show where it shouldn’t. While Ceton wasn’t at CES, I did run into Eric Kotz while at the show and he mentioned that they were trying to get the OCUR specification changed to remove the need to monitor CGMS-A, APS, and RC so only CCI flags will be honored. That change was approved today (OCUR-N-14.1880-1)»[URL='http://www.cablelabs.com/specification/opencable-unidirectional-receiver/']www.cablelabs.com/specif ··· eceiver/[/URL] ; which means that everyone who was enjoying CableCARD content outside of WMC and started having trouble when the CCI flags went away are just a firmware update away from getting back to rocking out with their ultimate HTPC DVR.[/collapse] So the question is: [B]is the DCT (tuner/CableCARD) falling back to CGMS-A in the absence of other DRM/protection markings, or is the channel actually intentionally marked that way?[/B] If the DCT is falling back, the firmware update should help; if not, neither the firmware update nor replacement tuner would help. I don't think it's possible for us to answer the above question without trying the firmware update. However, either Ceton and/or Verizon may be able to. Maybe the best thing to do would be to explain the full situation to Ceton. They may be able to advise whether the firmware update would make a difference.
