Re: Ceton InfiniTV 4 Tuner Sharing via Network Bridging
I’ve been watching this thread since I too would like to move the Ceton tuner from the HTPC, mainly because I’d be able to keep the Ceton (I’m seeing temps in the high 60s) cooler if it was hosted in my WHS server, since the server(s) live in my garage where noise is not an issue. Crank the fans up! Also, I was hopeful that this would allow my HTPC to sleep and still allow instant access to the tuners since they would not have the minute-long authorization period as they would have never been powered down… (waking the HTPC from sleep, then waiting a minute for the Ceton to become available is not acceptable, so now I just keep the HTPC on all the time).
My question is why would it be necessary to run a W7 VM on the host PC to make the Ceton share over the network. Doesn’t it just need a “warm body” — a networked PC capable of loading the drivers or some subset that allows the network bridging to happen? That is… I hope it does not require a Media Center capable machine as host… as that would open up the possibility of hosting it inside of WHS Vail.
