Holy cow! I hadn't realized that it still being offered as a product on the website.

It even mentions:
PDF downloads

PRIME6 Flyer coming 2019
Quick Start Guide coming 2019

That go nowhere, not to mention it's 2020!

Yeah, I had forgotten that I'm using a DisplayPort connection, the funny thing is it's actually worked in the past and even just the other day.

It's doing it again, it starts to play then stalls and this time I'm even getting an HDCP content protection error.

Device ID is: 13170B59

Thanks

It appears to be working now.

Getting the same thing trying to watch HBO(Comcast SF bay area ch 801).

I'm running Win10 Pro, ver.1909, OS Build 18363.476 and I'm not seeing any issues anywhere. Edge, Firefox and Chrome all work as well as the native Win10 desktop app.

And this is a cable tuner we're talking about isn't it? So the ATSC specs don't mean much here. Yes, the Prime is not ATSC. However, I imagine many locals are the same feeds being broadcast ATSC, so I used that value for reference. (Also, I couldn't find any info about maximum bitrates for NA cable...

It won't be a problem for Comcast users as all of their channels save for the locals are 4Mb/s or less. The locals, in most areas, are still up to about 16-18Mb/s though it's a rare channel that's that high anymore as the bandwidth is split off to sub-channels. And this is a cable tuner we're talkin...

There's not much you can do as at the present time, SiliconDust doesn't even offer a CableCARD tuner for sale.

My **** flatlined in July and I have been waiting around for this to be available, because I really do not want to buy another ****. But being almost Nov and no official word or potentional release date other than "mid 2018", which is long past, it's looking more and more like **** will, unfortunat...

I don't think CableCARDs will ever be supported on these networks and **** would have to come out with a new box that handles IPTV delivery. What caught my eye was that you need to rent from Comcast every piece of equipment you'd need to utilize the service. It states Roku would work I am sure othe...

Not soon enough … time is ticking … for us Prime users .. like I said before DRM Recording or Cable companies stop providing cable cards what will come first … sooner or later we will find out. Comcast has non-CableCARD areas already. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/all-ip-xfinity-fiber-on...

Given that CableCARD is a dying technology I wouldn't expect to see SD expend the resources and money to support two different CableCARD models. But you never know, maybe they'll surprise us. While I'm mildly interested in the 6 tuner device the longer it takes to materialize the less interested I b...

Yes, a modern AVR is a must or at least a soundbar that can handle modern audio formats.
