Re: Review: Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad CableCARD Tuner – Part I
I’ve got to disagree. I tested on a Linksys DMA2200, Slim Xbox 360 and an original day-1 Xbox 360, all connected to the same gigabit network switch.
The Slim Xbox 360 offers the best experience and not only for the lower noise and power consumption. Startup, Movie Library and Recorded TV respond noticeably faster. The software between them is obviously identical so I attribute the improved experience to the network card. I’m not willing to open up the Slim Xbox 360 to confirm so it is just an assumption that Microsoft have upgrade the network card.
I’ll see if I can get a confirmation on what hardware is being used, I’ve self-repaired my original Xbox 360 so I’ll open that up sometime to see what network card is used.
In terms of the Ceton InfiniTV 4, the experience is very similar on all three. All of them handle Live TV and Recorded TV playback without. In terms of channel changing speed and response time I’d order them Slim Xbox, Xbox and then the Linksys but the difference is very small. You’ll noticed a bigger difference in the guide, mini guide and in the various libraries.
