[QUOTE="Sigpi007, post: 1012257, member: 133193"] Just (partly) finished setting up the [I][B][U]Ceton ETH 6 tuner with the MP 1.4 patch[/U][/B][/I]. Followed instructions in first post to the letter. Overall assessment... everything is working GREAT! Feedback below... [B]- Initial channel scan completed faster than when I used to scan for QAM channels.[/B] Saw the "out of band" message with nothing happening for quite a while, and then all of a sudden all the channels appear in the scan and the process was done. So for those of you worried when you see nothing happening during the scan, it just takes a few minutes before you see results. (With QAM, I saw each frequency tune and saw results.) [B]- Results of channel names was more than 90% populated.[/B] Still had a few channel names listed as "unknown". Not sure if this is a patch issue or if it is WOW cable misconfiguration. [B]- Changing channels is FAST![/B] I have my Ceton ETH 6 tuner located downstairs, and I connect to it over wireless-N from my upstairs test computer. Changing channels takes about 1 second for HD channels. I'd equate the experience to "a smidge slower than changing channels with a (comcast) cable box, but a bit faster than changing channels with a (DirecTV) satellite box." Overall... very acceptable performance... in a less than ideal setup (over wireless instead of hard-wire). - [I]Only issue... I don't think my cablecard is decoding any of the channels that are not "in-the-clear."[/I] Essentially I can see the same channels I saw before. I expect this is a cable company issue and not related to the patch. Will write back later once resolved. [U][B]OVERALL... if you are thinking about the Ceton ETH 6 network tuner, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it.[/B] [/U] The performance and ease of use are far beyond what I expected. Installing the drivers is pretty straightforward, and the diagnostic tools Ceton provides makes it easy to see if the cablecard has received the activation signal from the cable company. It was easier than setting up a cablecard in Tivo HD. [/QUOTE]
