How many pc(s) in the chain?
My concern is, using a pc for each tuner. I feel one pc is enough for all tuners.
I am waiting for the new PRIME to show up.
Thanks.

pearlvr4, I'm curious if you are able to use multiple zones in one JRiver instance rather than using mulitple instances of JRiver to view 4 live programs. I think you could set each zone to have a detached display to go to one of your TV's. This method might be easier if it works.

JimH · « **Reply #102 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:53:03 pm »

Thanks, pearlvr4, for reporting your success. Any pictures?

As Mojave said, zones should work. The wiki has a topic.

And welcome to the board.

pearlvr4 · « **Reply #103 on:** June 10, 2013, 07:52:36 pm »

I'm not familiar with zones. I did find it under player and tried it out. As soon as I tune live tv in zone 2 - zone 1 picture blanks and audio skips, but zone 2 seems fine. Can't get them both to work.

this picture shows live tv in 2 instances JRiver - one Windows Media Center. Top right is just desktop background.

In a different thread I posted I couldn't get the tuners to show up, but I now saw the tip on turning on DLNA and now it's working! Why would that have to be turned on as I'm only watching TV on the physical computer that the card is in?

My other question is the video is choppy. Any suggestions? I'm on a Win 8 computer. Things play fine on WMC. I'm guessing it's a problem with madVR?

Thanks.

It may well be related to madVR. Try RO Std and see if there is any improvement.

Sorry, what is RO? .. Also do you know why turning DLNA on fixes it?

RO = Red October
Tools > Options > Video > Video Mode

It is by design that CableCARD tuners such as Ceton requires turning on media network and DLNA option. Turning on the option allows MC to discover the tuners. I know, it is not quite intuitive.

That fixed it! I noticed with RO HQ some of my lower quality bluray rips are kinda choppy ...but the funny thing is..the high quality bluray rips are still good...some of the lower quality are fine too. Do you know what gives? Everything ran fine on HQ setting before though. Quite a few builds ago.

Thanks for all your help btw.

Yaobing · « **Reply #111 on:** June 18, 2013, 03:37:17 pm »

You are welcome. I am glad that solved the problem.

I am not sure why madVR would misbehave in this situation, but it generally has higher demand on hardware and is more complicated in terms of settings. You may experiment with different deinterlacing settings for example.

My computer is a Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3 ghz and 2 gb ram. Video card is nVidia GT 520.

Think my computer is too slow? I have a feeling that's not it since it worked fine before on HQ setting. Also most of my blurays work fine. Just a few are slightly jerky along with TV.

I will try messing with the deinterlacing settings. Wish I knew what any of this stuff meant hah.

What differences are there between HQ and Standard btw..anything you can actually see?

Yaobing · « **Reply #113 on:** June 19, 2013, 11:26:59 am »

Please try build 201 (using Red October HQ) available on MC18 board now. It contains this following change:

5. Changed: Aggressive de-interlacing is no longer enabled in the LAV filter for mpeg-2 content that has a frame rate of 59.94.

Hi. I tried build 201. Same thing. I tried playing with the different MadVR settings, but none fixed it.

I tried a random older build 187 and it's the same. By installing an older build, will it also revert to the older madVR also? I have a feeling it's still using the latest madVR although I'm not sure how to check the version numnber. I'd like to try using an older madVR.

Yaobing · « **Reply #115 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:53:20 pm »

I believe older versions use older madVR.

Sup Peepz!

new to JRiver building a new media center PC because i need TV tuners!!

so i have
I5 3.4ghz (unlocked)
32gb Ram
infinitV ETH 6 tuner

i have been using Plex and XBMC for the last 2 years but kinda getting to hard for the kids + wife.I was looking to get a more integrated product and this seems like this is it.

The issue i have is that even though i have installed the Ceton drivers which kinda make my ethernet tuner look like a device. the tuner is not being detected. i am on the 30day trial right now with 25 days left.

does any one have any experience with this TV tuner?

Do the tuners show up on the PC in the Ceton Diagnostic tool? If so, make sure you have DLNA enabled in J River as that's needed for the tuners to work with it.

jackOlantern · « **Reply #119 on:** September 04, 2013, 05:45:03 pm »

i have DLNA enabled and i can watch TV through media center but under devices in the TV settings in JR no devices show up the ceton tool sees all 6 tuners. i am also using the new tuner drivers and firmware to allow for all tuners to be able to be assigned to multiple tvs.

Did you wait a minute or so after starting up MC? It takes a little time for MC to discover the tuners.

Does this work on Mac, or is it strictly a Windows piece of functionality? Also wondering about Mac -> Ceton InfiniTV 6

JimH · « **Reply #122 on:** December 03, 2013, 06:25:02 am »

Only Windows at this point. The Mac version is audio only.

JohnJ9 · « **Reply #123 on:** December 04, 2013, 06:54:05 pm »

Is that something you see changing down the road?

JimH · « **Reply #124 on:** December 04, 2013, 07:50:22 pm »

Yes, but it's not possible to say when.
