CableCARD tuner support for MediaPortal 1 | Page 66

I am wondering if all this things should work with Windows 8.1 with Media Center?
I have tired almost al of these things if not all of them and the tuners keep showing as "unknown" on the TV Server
I have tested with a different PC and they work fine on Windows 7 pro x64.
I currently have the following setup:



MediaPortal 1.6/1.7 Tired both with above patches
Windows 8.1 with Media Center
Ceton 6 ETH: Both Regular Drivers & Beta
HDHOMERun Prime: Both Regular Drivers & Beta
Blackhawk 802.11ac wireless Router
No Firewall enable on router or windows
UPNP is enabled on wireless but have tired with disabled too.

Thanks!

I agree with mm, make sure the codecs and playback are good first. I would like to add that with my 4 Ceton tuners, sometimes I get bad recordings when the hard drive is almost full or really fragmented.

 

Hi, I hope someone can help me here. I have bought a HDHomerun Prime and successfully installed it and had it's setup software find 300 some odd channels on Time Warner Cable. I have followed the directions listed on the 1st page of this post, but all the channels show up in red, which I believe means they are not viewable. Any suggestions?

 

I use OTA ATSC, google of "time warner cable card" shows lots of stuff, they have something called a "tuning adapter" that takes raw TWC cable input and output goes to CableCard equipment. Looks like you might need this for Tivo etc on TWC.

the following applies to TWC "Switched Digital Video" SDV, words for
"Why you might need a Tuning Adapter"

Time Warner Cable launched Switched Digital Video (SDV) in many neighborhoods around the country. Channels delivered using SDV are sent to your television only when you want to watch them. This frees up bandwidth and allows Time Warner Cable to offer you additional digital and HD channels. Some existing services may be delivered using SDV in order to make additional bandwidth available.

Once channels are delivered using SDV, they will no longer be available to CableCARD™ devices unless you have a Tuning Adapter. You will need a Tuning Adapter to view these new channels if you use a CableCARD with one of these devices:

• OCUR devices: ATI TV Wonder™, Ceton InfiniTV 4™, SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime™
• Retail Moxi HD
• TiVo: Series 3, HD and HD XL, Premiere and Premiere XL

 

ok, thanks for the reply's. Can MP work with WMC in order to watch the encrypted channels? In other words, use WMC as a backend to do the live and recorded TV and using MP as the pretty frontend to a actually watch the TV and schedule through the EPG?
