Users were able to access the Internet and network resources. Once I virtualized PFsense and untangled (removing the Mikrotik) here is what I experienced:
#Sagetv hdhomerun prime tv#
With the Mikrotik in place Sagetv access' the HDhomerun Prime and streams TV Fine. Please review the attached diagram for better understanding og my Lan layout. Pfsense and untagle is replacing a Mikrotik RB750GL. I attached a network drawing to give a person a visual. I am going to try and make this as easy to understand as possible. It seems to be boolean, and there's nothing in the CCI spec that it would obviously map to.I setup Pfsense and untagle on my esxi box. I saw that on my DCT6200, and I've seen other people mention it, but I have no idea what it is. (In other words, if a channel is marked copy-freely, but the RC flag is set, the HDHR-Prime might have to apply DRM). At least, that's how I'd read the OpenCable spec. It might be that devices are suppose to obey the flag by applying DRM, but don't need to enforce copy limits. I'm not sure what that means for cablecard, but based on what happened with WMC and NBC several years back with the broadcast flag, the ATI OCUR device seems to obey the flag. But there are some reports that some systems essentially ignore the Redistribution Control Trigger. The OpenCable specifications seems to say digital outputs must be encrypted (e.g., 5c encryption on firewire), but copies don't need to be limited. It's not clear what happens when that is set. Apparently sometimes the Redistribution Control Trigger is set, also known as the broadcast flag. The CCI bytes also contain some other fields, like the APS bits (Analog Protection System), but I've never heard of those being used. From what I've seen on my DCT6200, the CCI field seems to just show that. Really when I say CCI bytes there I only mean the EMI bits, which indicate the copy freely/once/never status. If the CCI bytes indicate copy protection, an HD box will firewire has to employ 5c protection on the content. It's not clear the CCI bytes, as typically reported by the diagnostics page, won't necessarily give you exactly the right answer either. They're not quite the same thing, but they're closely related. It also isn't clear if Sage will even support the HDHR-Prime, give they're likely to be limited to only watching channels marked copy-freely.ĥC isn't exactly the same (or at least, doesn't have to be). I think that suggests there's no exclusivity period.īasically, this is potentially good news for FiOS and Comcast customers, since they don't seem to copy protect the expanded basic lineup (only premiums like HBO, etc.), but not so good news for Time Warner and Brighthouse customers, since those cable networks seem to copy protect everything. A SiliconDust employee over on their forums previously indicated that any application that can access QAM channels off the HDHR Prime should be able to access non-copy-protected channels off the HDHR Prime through a cablecard.
SiliconDust apparently got permission to uncertified applications access to channels marked copy-freely. Well, the news is slightly better than that.
Here's a link to someone who got the hack working with the CetonCard, SageTV, and WMC7. That's probably the near-term future for these devices and SageTV, assuming the hack works reasonable well. There was a thread from some time ago about a hack that would allow SageTV to essentially use WMC as a recording device for just this type of configuration.
#Sagetv hdhomerun prime windows 7#
Totally uninformed speculation on my part: Even if SageTV were to get the certification, since the whole CableLabs certification process currently favors Windows 7 MediaCenter, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an exclusivity period before the process was opened up to other software. I'd love to see this seamlessly integrate with SageTV, but CableLabs certification is a prerequisite and it's unclear where SageTV is on the matter. This is all tied to CableLabs certification.
My understanding is that - like the Ceton CableCard tuner - it's only going to work with Windows 7 MediaCenter. cable channel line ups).Ĭould this be the ultimate cable card interface for SageTV? What I'm curious is if SageTV will support this product natively, without needing a PhD degree to interface to it (i.e.
