BTW how come Ceton says I should be able to record HBO and Sho -

cant be recorded via the dvr eg ppv etc) -but other customers say this
isn't possible?

	My comment was about the new 6 tuner variant(s).  It is possible
	Ceton changed something such that the existing MythTV codes
	also need changing.  I do not know.  I did notice that Ceton has
	some new Windows drivers that claim support of the 6 tuner
variant.
	Whether that is just changing some number from 4 to 6, or
something
	else is an open question until someone purchases the new device
	and reports on their experiences.

According to a correspondence I just received from Ceton, the existing
linux drivers will work with the new PCIe version, and no drivers are
needed for the networked version.  My guess is that the PCIe version
will work out of the box.

 

No drivers are needed for the Ethernet version, but code changes
definitely are needed for MythTV to receive streams from it (unless
there is a previous ethernet-based Ceton which is already supported).

 

But, this is a very interesting device.  There have been a couple times
where I ran out of capacity on my 3 tuner HDHomeRun3-CC.   Six would be
overkill, but why not.

 

HDHR has always done a great job of supporting MythTV/Linux usage.  So,
I think I'll wait for the availability of the HDHR4 which has 4 tuners
and H.264 transcoding.  Then I'll compare these two devices to see which
to move to.
