Ceton support tried helping me to a point. (it seems issue is WMDRM pairing is red) however no joy. I am ready to give up but do love the concept of WHC & WMC running my home media and this tuner is the key) I have installed the card in my media center PC and it works fine, however I am running out of slots so really need it in the server.

i have searched the forums and cannot find any direct answers for this, and i have searched many tuner cards and just dont understand tv enough to grasp what i need to do.Service: Fios TV HD STBSTB: Motorolla Verizon Fios QIP71002Plan: i want to hook up my fios tv stb to my pc and watch live hd tv from the windows media center. now i know i need a tuner card, (or at least im pretty sure thats how this works) if i get a tv tuner card for my pc and hook up the box via something like this _hvr2250.html is that all i need? i really dont understand how this all works, some forum posts on verizon say even if this is done you will not get all the fios channels. is that true? i dont understand whats the difference from doing this, instead of just buying a tv and hooking the stb to it that way. can someome please clearify if this will work and if so how do i do it. i want to make sure i will get all my channels and not just local ones.
This has a "cable" input, network (twisted pair) connection and a cable card slot. After the cable card is configured for you account media center will see it and allow you to watch live tv and record like any dvr. The nice thing about this is it has 3 tuners and you can store as much as your computer can hold. In addition, if you have an XBOX 360 in another room you can us it to watch tv after it and media center are configured to see each other.
I have a Hauppauge HD PVR and record to a pc using win 7 ultimate media center via that box connected to the output from the STB and controlling the Fios STB via the box IR blaster that is being programmed via the Fios Tv guide loaded into ultimate. If your disk drives are fast enough and wifi signal is good enough you can then stream via Chromecast. 2ff7e9595c
