Since WHS Vail and Server 2008 are so similar, can the Centon card be installed in a Vail box with out running a virtual anything, and create the bridge between the NIC and the Centon card so it can be shared on the LAN, with out disrupting any of Vail’s WHS functionality?

Glad to hear. Just wondering…will you take the Intel NIC out and go back to the onboard or continue using the Intel?
[/quote]Not sure. I don’t like messing w/ a system when it’s working correctly, but I might give it a try just to verify it wasn’t the Realtek NIC. If it wasn’t then I have a spare 1G NIC in case something else blows up.

Fixed! ;D
Well the new Intel NIC came. Installed it and disabled the on board Realtek NIC. Still no joy. I tried every network reconfiguration I could think of, tried hibernate instead of sleep, still no joy. As a last ditch effort I uninstalled Zone Alarm firewall and let the Windows firewall take over. Problem fixed. I had been running the Zone Alarm firewall for months, I don’t know why it suddenly broke access to my WHS when coming out of sleep mode, but it seems to be working fine now.

November 5, 2010 at 6:45 pm in reply to: Re: Guide: Sharing Ceton InfiniTV Tuners with Client HTPC System #2197Does Centon have any schedule/date for when the firmware for tuner sharing will go public?? I ordered mine last week so I guess I’ll have it sometime next year.

I agree, if anything hide them with a flip down door.

Bummer… ??? So then, another question… Since you can’t run a virtual W7MC machine inside Vail, would it be better to build a small, always on W7MC machine to just do the recoding & streaming of TV and have it save the recorded program directly to the Vail box right after recording??
[/quote]How many client PCs do you plan to have connected to it? What are your concerns with installing it on your primary HTPC and letting that “share” the InfiniTV out?
[/quote]I would like an always on machine that can do the recordings and share the tuners w/ my 2 HTPCs for live TV. I don’t want to have one of the HTPCs on all the time, I like them to work like a piece of CE hardware which is how they work now. However, If Vail will share the tuners, currently my HTPCs record OTA programing then transfer it to my WHS for viewing on any machine. So if Vail can host the tuners, I can assign a static IP to the network bridge port in the Vail machine and let the HTPCs do the recording and transfer it to the Vail machine’s storage for sharing. I am about to build a new box to test Vail so this is a plus.

Yes I am in Pittsburgh, I have FIOS and want to have something larger that a 160MB drive for a DVR (and not pay to lease the STB). Just about to order a Shuttle barebones and put a 3.1GHz Phenom II X2 and have it always on to do the recording/streaming to the HTPCs. But no big rush so I try one of 2 Mikinho prefers.

I loved BSG and was digging Caprica. I think Syfy killed it w/ the extra commercial breaks and by splitting up the season. Also the fact that those guys would fund a movie like Sharktapuss tells me that they don’t have a clue as to what good Sci-fi is.
