InfiniTV 4 Installation Instructions

Ceton InfiniTV 4 Installation Instructions

1. Obtain a CableCARD from your cable TV service provider

1. Call your cable TV service provider and tell them you need a multi-stream CableCARD (M-Card)

for a Ceton InfiniTV 4 OCUR digital cable tuner installation in a Windows 7 PC.

You can go to your local cable company to pick up a CableCARD and install it yourself; if you

choose, your cable TV service provider may also send a technician to your home to install it.

If you live in an area where Switched Digital Video (SDV) has been deployed, you will also need a

Tuning Adapter from your cable TV provider in order to receive all digital cable TV channels.

Before you receive a CableCARD, you can complete steps 2, 3, and 4 below in preparation for setting up Windows Media Center. This

will help expedite installation if a cable TV technician comes to your home. Completion of Step 5, “Set up Windows Media Center for

Cable TV”, requires a cable TV connection and a CableCARD installed in the InfiniTV in order for Media Center to be set up correctly.

Note: Due to an incompatibility between Analog NTSC channels and Media Center setup for Digital Cable TV, the Ceton InfiniTV 4 cannot

be set up for use as a Clear QAM tuner in Media Center without a CableCARD.

2. Install the Ceton InfiniTV 4 Card in your PC

1. Turn your computer system off and disconnect the power cable.

2. Install the Ceton InfiniTV 4 in any open PCIe slot. It can be PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16.

Note: Some PC motherboards disable onboard graphics when any PCIe card is inserted in

an x16 slot.

Your InfiniTV 4 comes with both high and low profile backplates to accommodate many

PC configurations. You may need to swap backplates depending on the type of PC you

are using. You can do this by unscrewing the two screws that connect the backplate to

the InfiniTV 4 board, as seen next to the yellow arrows in the image to the right, and

replacing the screws with the other supplied backplate.

3. Attach the F-connector end of the supplied coax adapter cable to the cable TV outlet in your home by using a standard RG-6 coax cable.

Push the other end of the coax adapter cable onto the connector on the back of the InfiniTV 4 card (see image above). Do not try to

screw it on. Make sure the cable is seated all the way onto the port.

Coax Adapter Cable

4. Insert the CableCARD into the CableCARD slot in the back of the InfiniTV 4 card. The top of the CableCARD is designated by a number of

small bumps on the end that connects into the InfiniTV. When you plug the CableCARD into your InfiniTV, ensure that the top of your

CableCARD is facing away from the coax adapter plug. You should be able to see the top of the CableCARD from the window at the top

of the InfiniTV. Ensure that it is inserted firmly.

6. If you require a Tuning Adapter, your cable TV provider will assist you with its installation. You’ll want to follow one of the two

diagrams below in order to successfully set up your Tuning Adapter with your InfiniTV:

Option One

Wire the tuning adapter as shown in the diagram above. Attach a standard RG-6 coax cable to your Tuning Adapter RF-In, then string

the other RG-6 coax cable from the RF-Out to the InfiniTV. Connect the Tuning Adapter to any USB port on your PC with a standard USB

cable, and plug the Tuning Adapter into a power outlet.

Option Two

Wire the tuning adapter as shown in the diagram above. Attach a standard RG-6 coax cable from the output of the splitter to the Tuning

Adapter RF-In, then string the other RG-6 coax cable to the InfiniTV 4. Connect the Tuning Adapter to any USB port on your PC with a

standard USB cable, and plug the Tuning Adapter into a power outlet.

3. Download and run the Ceton InfiniTV 4 Windows Installer Software

1. From Windows 7, run the Ceton InfiniTV Windows Installer from the following Internet link:

http://cetoncorp.com/infinitv_support/

Ceton InfiniTV 4 Installation Instructions

The Ceton Windows Installer will install the Ceton InfiniTV drivers, the SDV Tuning Adapter driver, the SDV host software, and the Ceton

Diagnostic Tool on your PC. If prompted, install the Visual C++ Runtime Libraries as well.

Notes: The Network Tuners Wizard is not set to install by default. You do not need to install the Network Tuners Wizard unless you plan

to share tuners with other computers on your network. For more information, check out the Network Tuners guide on our website:

http://cetoncorp.com/infinitv_support/

2. When complete, close all Installer windows and restart your PC.

Notes: i. In order to receive cable TV video streams, certain network ports must be setup correctly for UDP and TCP Internet Protocols.

Microsoft’s Windows Firewall sets these up automatically. If you use a third party firewall or antivirus program like Norton or McAfee,

these programs may prevent the InfiniTV 4 from receiving digital cable TV video data correctly on your PC. You may need to disable these

programs in order to receive digital cable TV. You can also manually set up the network ports from the following information:

Non-Windows firewall users need to open the following ports;

Name UDP/TCP Port Range In/Out

RTP UDP 5001-5016 IN

SSDP UDP 1900 IN/OUT

RTSP TCP 554 OUT

UPnP TCP 2869 IN/OUT

WMDRM UDP 5757-5772 OUT

ii. If your PC is on a local area network which uses a Proxy Server, this server may prevent the InfiniTV 4 from receiving digital

cable TV data. Please contact your Proxy Server support person to setup the Proxy Server to allow the InfiniTV 4 to receive digital cable

TV video data.

iii. MoCA adapter users may require a low pass filter to prevent interference with TV reception on some channels. FIOS

customers should request a low pass filter at the time of installation.

4. Run Digital Cable Advisor

You must run Microsoft’s Digital Cable Advisor (DCA) from the Extras Gallery in Windows Media Center. This application checks your

computer to ensure it has adequate resources to support digital cable TV services and sets up Windows to allow viewing copy-protected

cable TV content using Windows Media Center and a CableCARD-based digital cable tuner like the Ceton InfiniTV 4.

The Ceton Installer you ran in step 3 above initiates the download of the Extras Gallery automatically. The Extras Gallery icon should appear

in Extras as shown below. It can take up to five minutes after running the Ceton Installer for the Extras Gallery icon to appear on screen.

Ceton InfiniTV 4 Installation Instructions

Note: The Extras Gallery can also be downloaded manually from the following Internet links:

x86 - 32 bit Windows 7: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195559

x64 - 64 bit Windows 7: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195560

To run Digital Cable Advisor, follow these steps:

1. Start Windows Media Center from the Windows Start Menu or the green button on your Media Center PC remote.

Note:It is recommended to run the Digital Cable Advisor in a reduced size window (not maximized) in order to view all system

prompts more easily. If this is your first time running Windows Media Center you will be requested to complete a quick Media Center

setup process at this point. If asked, do not set up the TV tuners until after the Digital Cable Advisor has been completed.

Navigate to Extras / Extras Gallery. If you don’t see the Extras Gallery icon it is probably still downloading from step 3 above. Wait a

few minutes and check back, or manually download from the links above.

flashing on your tool bar at the bottom of your screen).

Click Done when you see the Congratulations! Screen.

Note: If your computer fails the Digital Cable Advisor test then it does not meet the minimum system requirements needed for

supporting digital cable TV on the PC and it will not be able to use any digital cable tuner including the Ceton InfiniTV 4.

5. Setup Windows Media Center for Cable TV

Go to Tasks / Settings / TV / TV Signal / Set Up TV Signal.

oSelect your Region: e.g. United States.

oEnter your zip code.

oClick “I agree” if you agree with the Program Guide Terms & Conditions.

oRead the PlayReady PC Runtime End User License Agreement and choose to Accept or Decline.

oIf you accepted the End User License Agreement, PlayReady will be installed.

Note: Be sure your system’s date and time are set correctly. An error will occur when installing PlayReady, which will prevent

cable TV from being viewed, if the date and approximate time in the PC are not correct.

oMedia Center will now Download TV Setup Data and detect the TV signal. If successful, your TV Signal Detection Result page

should read, Digital Cable (CableCARD™) (4 tuners):

Ceton InfiniTV 4 Installation Instructions

oSelect Yes, configure TV with these results.

oDuring the configuration process, Media Center will ask for a product key, which will be pre-filled on the screen. This is a

different product key than your Windows 7 product key and is automatically generated by running the Digital Cable Advisor in

step above. Just click Next when the product key configuration is complete.

2. Activate your CableCARD. If your cable operator sent a technician to your home to install the CableCARD then the technician will assist

you in performing this step. If you are installing the CableCARD yourself, click Next on the Activate Your CableCARD screens.

Call your cable operator when prompted (a phone number may appear on the screen) and tell them you need to pair and activate a

CableCARD with the Ceton InfiniTV 4 OCUR digital cable tuner in your PC. Your cable operator will walk you through the process of

pairing and authenticating the CableCARD with your local cable system. During this process, you will need to provide them with

information from the TV Setup screen:
