[mythtv-users] Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH testing

[Doug Lytle]

I've recently purchased, off of ebaY, the above tuner because my mother 
thinks that 3 concurrent recording from her HDHomeRun Prime is too limiting.

I put it into place last weekend and it seemed fairly straight forward 
to setup.  I've got the network tuner Ceton selected in mythtv-setup and 
they look like:

[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.0]
[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.1]
[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.2]
[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.3]
[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.4]
[CETON : 192.168.4.26-RTP.5]

LiveTV is set to descend from tuner 5 to 0 and recordings from 0 to 5

The cable card is a Motorola without a Tuning Adapter and the service 
provider is Charter, out of Michigan.

As of last Wednesday, she had 5 scheduled programs to record.  Of the 5, 
three were zero byte files.  She had a LiveTV stream open on tuner 5.

In the limited testing that I've done, it appears she can only access 3 
tuners concurrently of any combination.

I've tested:

3 LiveTV sessions on tuners 3,4,5 will result in zero byte files on 
tuners 0,1,2 if I force a record.

3 recordings starting on 0,1,2 will result in the failure of starting 
LiveTV.

I was hoping there would be a way to use VLC to test and start up as 
many streams as tuners, to verify I don't have a bad Ceton, but VLC will 
not run more then one copy of itself, at least on a Linux desktop.

Any suggestions for testing the card would be appreciated,
