I've spent most of the night playing with it, and can't seem to get any "premium" channels. I can get everything 2-99 and even several 100's and some 400's and a couple 500's but when i try to get HBO, starz, encore etc. it just drops me back out to the main menu. backend log says :
<br>Firerec: No input in 15 seconds [P:0 N:1] (select)<br><br>I did verify again that 5c says off on the cable box.<br>I've tried it on my master backend and on a slave backend. Both have different types of Firewire cards, so I don't think it is a card issue. Possible though I guess.
