Question: Do you recommend this with an iPad or iphone and a PS3 DVR? - Not decided which Mac to buy? I do not want low quality or rent a cable box? Thanks!
Document: Product has been working great. I have it connected to a Windows 7 desktop and using Windows Media Center I was able to turn in the cable company's HD/DVR cable box and get a pretty good discount on my bill. It was a hassle getting the cable card from the cable company, but once I got my hands on it the setup was easy.
This product works like they said it does. Had to call Comcast twice to pair the cablecard, second time worked. They had left the data number off the first time. Can now watch TV and record 3 programs at once. Quality of the picture is as good or better than with Comcast's DVR. Great product.
Don't know why. But HD recordings work great.Still waiting for my wife to give me thumbs up to return the Comcast DVRs. She is a master on the Comcast DVR Remote and a slow adopter for the Xbox 360 remote. But I love Windows Media Center with the Ceton 4 Tuner setup with the Xbox 360 extenders.Note this little Ceton USB tuner box when horizontal was running a bit hot, so I rigged it to stand up vertically for better air circulation and it now stays very cool.
I highly recommend this device if you want true control over your tv. I have 2 3tb drives for my recordings and can store over 600 hours of hd programming. The combination of Windows 7 Media Center and the Ceton Infinitv 4 USB give you great customization options and works flawlessly.
As soon as the CableCard was activated, thanks to the helpful info card that was included with the InfiniTV, I was able to tune all of my HD channels. I tested the multi-channel tuning by recording 3 shows and watching a fourth, without any slowdown on the video. I would recommend this to anyone building an HTPC.
This product is great and allowed me to get rid of all the DV-R and HD boxes I have in my home and saved me money that I was paying to rent these boxes from Comcast!I did have a couple issue initially as I my machine was not installing the drivers for the device. But Ceton support was awesome and quickly replied to my service request, even calling me on a Saturday! The issue I was having was due to my machine being a Mac mini running Windows 7 through Bootcamp.
Solid Product, but does not support ClearQAM, NTSC, or any application without a m-card (CableCARD). The description and video lead me to believe it would work without a cable card but after much work I was unable to get it to work. Had to return it. If I ever get an 'advanced' cable company I will buy this again.
I don't necessarily understand the details but it seems this can only process ENCRYPTED Channels. My cable provider has many channels that are not encrypted so I would have to buy another tuner card to work on those channels. I had the ATI cable tv tuner and I could access all channels without issue. (I was hoping to get 4 tuners out of this.) Also very slow to tune compared to the ATI. Would not buy again.
Check this if you don't have Ultimate.Now, on to the review. I had a rather complicated set up using a computer, RePlayTV, VCR, live TV, IR blasters and a variety of cable boxes. Like I said, complicated. I spent quite a bit of time every night just switching inputs! Then the RePlay gave up the ghost and I figured it was time to consolidate if possible. I had heard of the Ceton and decided to give it a try.
pretty easy install - using with cox - probably will buy another. Have had no negitive issues. Anything to help offset the cable bill!
Answer: You may want to check the Ceton site for recommendations. I've been using this with windows media center for over a year and outside of technical maintenance has worked out pretty well. I have two units in one computer and two xboxes as media center extenders.
