Josh Pollard Reviews Ceton’s InfiniTV 4

When Ceton announced a new CableCARD tuner there were many Media Center enthusiasts salivating at the thought of quad CableCARD recordings and after a long wait the review units are starting to go out. Fellow Media Center MVP Josh Pollard has got his hands on one of the Ceton units and has a great review of the tuner. After ATI discontinued their tuner it good to see another manufacturer supporting CableCARD in Windows Media Center.

Prior to doing the driver installation I ran the Digital Cable Advisor Tool located in the Extras Gallery within Windows Media Center. This is a requirement to prepare your computer for a CableCARD. The driver installation went smooth for both of us, and of course the hardware installation is a breeze. Physical installation of the card is simple. Just slide it into any available pci-express slot regardless of the size. Then slide the CableCARD into the slot of the back of the card. Don’t be alarmed when the card is still hanging out of the back about an inch. It’s supposed to do that so that you’ll have a way of removing the card. Once the CableCARD is in, simply attach the coax cable to the dongle. While dongles don’t have a great reputation, the one supplied by Ceton is top-notch. It feels very solid and well-built, while still providing flexibility to accommodate any cabling situation
