Well, the problem with the second Prime/HSC device has been resolved, yay! Now I am back to how I was before the HSC conversion began, and only had to spend a combined 7 hours talking with Spectrum CableCARD support and working with Spectrum technicians in my basement. Ironically, there was not a ...

Comparing some of the Prime webgui screens between the functional and non-functional units, I notice the UPM Address looks to have a legitimate value (0x0309F4) for the functioning unit. The non-functioning unit has a UPM Address of 0x000000. Could that be some or all of my problem?

Device ID is 13256C0B. I just initiated a channel scan on that device.

Spent 40 minutes on a phone call with Spectrum level 0.5 cable card support this morning. He claims that there is no difference between how my working device and my non-working device is set up on their end. They're rolling a truck for Thursday morning. Yay...

Fortunately, my other Prime is working ...

That was a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I went ahead and installed a different cable, with the same end result. One thing that I did notice, however. When I looked closer at the HSC channel map, it is including channels that my Spectrum plan does not get (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc.) The ...

OK, so the plot thickens. I had seen the View Channel Map link, but had never clicked on it because I assumed it would be identical to the channel map in the Prime. But when I clicked on it just now, there is 57 pages of channels, which matches the HSC channel map for the working Prime. So now I am ...

Now that one of my two Prime's is working well (after the HSC migration), I have turned my attention to my other Prime. After connecting the second HSC device to my Prime, and waiting close to 12 hours (with a power cycle or two mixed in), the webgui for the Prime looks good:

Status (on main menu ...

That seems plausible, thanks. I was able to get everything working in my SageTV environment, looks like they have not transitioned yet to MPEG4, the files are still MPEG2. Anyways, thanks for all of the assistance!

leerandall, I just timed a few channel changes within the Windows HDHomeRun app, mine are taking 4-5 seconds. I didn't measure my channel change time when I was using a tuning adapter, but it feels like it's about the same.

Thanks for the response, signcarver. Turns out I posted a little too soon, I had a channel scan going and that is why I was getting the System Busy message. Once the channel scan finished, I am able to view the channels within the Windows HDHomeRun app. So the Prime itself seems to be working ...

I am caught right in the middle of a high split conversion that my local Spectrum is doing. At the moment, I have one of my HDHR Prime's still connected to the old TA, and my other Prime connected to the new HSC device. I am unable to view channels on either device currently. I spent 3 1/2 hours in ...

Thank you, that helps clarify things a bit, although I did have to do a bit of googling as well. So the SDV portion of the HSC device works pretty much identical to SDV in a TA; the additional functionality included in the HSC is to handle the signalling (at a higher frequency than the past) between ...

I recently received my HSC devices, which will replace my TAs next month when Spectrum completes their work. My understanding is that the HSC box converts channels transmitted at frequencies currently outside of the frequencies that traditional cable cards/tuners can receive: the HSC then converts ...

FYI, this seems to work in PowerShell:

(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile( 'http://192.168.1.41:5004/tuner3/v20.1?duration=6000', 'NUL:')

No error and no file that I can find.
Winner winner chicken dinner!!! I wasn't sure if this would be able to multithread or not, but it works perfect ...

I'm filing this under the "I'm sorry I even asked" category. I already reverted the code back to capture the stream(s) to a local drive.

I have a data collection PHP script that runs 24/7, that queries all 14 tuners once per minute. If any of the tuners are actively streaming (i.e. TargetIP ...
