I have just got comcast after using ota for several years. I am using a silicondust prime with cable card and a windows media center. Same computer I was using with ota signal which worked fine.
I tune to a channel and its a minute before the channel shows up.
After about 2 to 3 minutes the channel freezes and about a minute later it might start up for a few seconds before freezing again.
Then nothing, I can bring up the guide and choose another channel and maybe after a minute or 2 I might get it to come up. Plays a couple of minutes then freezes for 2-3 minutes plays a minute, freezes over and over.
I used homerunTV on my android and it works on all channels, slow tuning but it works.
Does this eliminate the prime and say its something with wmc?
Funny it works fine with ota but cable it craps out.
Anyone have any ideas
this is the signal screen from the hd prime tuner.
CableCARD Status

Channel List cablecard-oob
a couple of questions I know nothing about this
why does it say Card Validation none and is -27.1 dBmV something bad?
comcast says they can send a signal to the silicondust but not receive any reply and say there is nothing they can do.
