[QUOTE="WiseguyMN, post: 1177764, member: 157813"] This is mainly an FYI to the community. I recently acquired a Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH device only to find out there is no support anymore ... I have tried email and calling Ceton support with no response at all for 30+ days. I also found Ceton is dependent on Microsoft media Center Receiver Service which means Ceton is ending support as well since Windows 10 has no media center any more. Silicon Dust ethernet device does not seem to have this dependency on Media Center Receiver Service (basic testing only so far). Right now I am researching my replacement for an HTPC running Windows 7, Windows Media Center with Silicon Dust cable TV tuners (ethernet based). I was hoping to switch to Ceton device due to the 6 tuners with one cable card .... Silicon dust has a 3 tuner limit .... a second cable card costs $10/month for another Silicon dust device. It seems that cable TV tuners for HTPC's are dying a slow death. I guess I will probably have to pay concast $25/month fo a cable box :( [/QUOTE]
