Hello, I Have internet only now, and plug the coax into 2 analog cards. Spectrum is going all digital in a few weeks, what is the best card to get for a cablecard tuner so I can continue using mediaportal, I seen the centon 4 and 6 tuner cards do those work, does anyone have a working setup?

    Hello

    Best in what way?
    My advice is: choose the one which suits you best. We support all of them (Ceton, Silicondust, Hauppauge) apart from the ancient ATI one, and even that one can be made to work at a pinch. :)

    I seen the centon 4 and 6 tuner cards do those work
    Yes, they work.

    ok, so if I understand correctly, I order a plan, and then a cablecard, and the centon device, and treat it like my current 3 tv cards? If so that is great news!

    I presume it would be something like that, yes.
    However...!
    Although I know a fair amount about CableCARD tuners (I'm the person who added CableCARD tuner support to MediaPortal), please keep in mind I'm not a Spectrum customer... and in fact I reside in New Zealand, so I've never owned a CableCARD tuner myself.

    There are some significant differences in the way that you configure MediaPortal's TV Server to use CableCARD tuners (compared to analog tuners), but nothing you won't be able to deal with.
