I'm looking to put together a HTPC box soon, and I'd like to see if there are any infiniTV4 owners out there that can share their opinions (pros, cons, etc) about this product.
Thanks.
I've had mine about six months now .
It really is a fine piece of tech and for the most part works very well . It can be a bit touchy to set up especially the part where you have to get involved with your cable provider . I got lucky and did a LOT of reading and got a 1) English speaking phone tech who , 2) knew exactly what I needed from them to complete the "pairing" process . A COMPLETE RARITY , I ASSURE YOU !
Be prepared , depending on your cable provider you may need a tuning adapter ( TA). I use Time Warner and a TA is required . Not a big deal but just letting you know you may want to investigate this before you get all "happy" and find out the hard way you need something you don't have.
During the initial install it is imperative that you follow the instructions exactly or you will be removing clumps of hair from your head. The menu structure is very well laid out and plays nicely with windows media center
One other point of info is that you need a very "hot" cable signal coming into the ceton . The higher the cable signal the better ( up to a point of course). -12db to -0db signal is about the sweet spot . I had to have a tech out several day's after the Ceton was installed to bump my signal up a bit and all was well .
I highly recommend the product over all .
The Green Button has a dedicated forum for the Ceton products and they have an excellent tech rep that helps answer questions quite frequently . AVS also has a very dedicated Ceton forum section and is also frequented by the same Ceton rep as the green button.
