| [AR] HTPC awsomeness I got my cable card tuner installed today. This by far is the best option for a cable card setup and the price is sweet. $2 for a cable card plus programming. |

Arkansas should be using a Motorola Tuning Adapter, I don't know if the deployment of SDV has reached all markets and nodes.
The Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 did not support SDV at first launch, but does now, though I am curious how reliable it is.
Here is the support link with the latest Motorola Tuning adapter firmware.

it's the box to the right on my cable card tuner. Install of the equipment was super easy. The hardest part was dealing with cox to pair the cable card to the tuner. |

| Do you know what channels in your market are using SDV? Except for Arizona Cox does not post them.
Common HD SDV channels are MSNBCHD, EncoreHD, EpixHD, BBCAHD, Weather Channel HD. But every market is different.
Common SD SDV channels are in the Variety, Movie, Sports & Info, Faith and Values and Latino Packages.

kudos:2 | Interesting, That notation "^" is new since I last looked. Good to see Kansas and Arkansas are disclosing SDV in the channel listing PDF. Perhaps more markets will as well.
Also interesting, no HD channels are listed as SDV. |

This will affect you if channels are copy protected, a policy Cox applies inconsistently across various systems. |
|
| I heard it only applies to PPV and premium channels like HBO Starz ect. |

Cox installed a 8 DB attenuator on my line a year ago. I just checked out my HD channels. some of them are tiling up. If I install a amp on the TV line will it fix the tiling up. Cox wants me to pay them $40 to have them remove it.  I can get a amp cheaper than that. |

I noticed Louisiana now also notes SDV channels in thier PDF line-up.
I posted a thread of SDV markets and whether or not they currently post SDV listings.

1 edit | I would not place an amp in front of an attenuator. I would split the coax feed before the attenuator and run separate lines to the modem and HTPC.
Why is the attenuator there in the first place?
What are your HTPC tuner signals currently? |

on the channels that are tiling I have a -14 dbm
- 8 on the rest of the HD channels
They installed one because the upstream signal was too low. The attenuator is in this lock box. Cox sure is charging a lot of money now days for tech visits. |

Is the coax line going to your Cox Motorola Box also on the same line as the attenuator?
»[CATV] New motorola digital box
If not what are the signal levels at that box?
The Motorola Tuning Adapter may also be dropping the signal as much as -3dB
