[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 805208, member: 56239"] Hey guys... I would ask you to look at their [URL="http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/downloads/firmware-changelog/"]firmware changelog Release 20111025[/URL] as the folks at SiliconDust seem to be working on the HDHomerun Prime and how it sees flags. Also, you'd mention the "copy-freely" content... While I too am not all so familiar with this M-card, or CableCard technology, I hear the MythTV guys are finding these flags aren't being so important as they're not being set! So it may be that only in select cases would there be any issue tuning the Prime seeing as the M-Card it's using is performing all of the decoding of the content from the cable provider. I'd ask [B]ssrjazz [/B]to see how this new update from SD does... also, I'll ask him: can you get the M-card registered with your cable provider and do you have to use WMC to get this accomplished or how does this registration/sync work? I'd like to dump my DirecTV for cable and a Prime but don't want to use two s/w packages: MCE for the Prime; and, MP for OTA-ATSC/QAM/Cable-NTSC [/QUOTE]
