I have a CableCard provided by RCN. I also have a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime triple tuner CableCard reciever and a Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 dual tuner CableCard receiver.
Neither of them work with the provided RCN CableCard so my thinking is that either there is a problem with the CableCard itself, a line / signal quality issue or a tuner adaptor is needed.
The info I was able to get from the status page is as follows:
Card Manufacturer: Motorola
Card Authentication: Error
Card Activation: Error
3DES Encryption: Not Ready
Card OOB Lock: Success
OOB Frequancy: 75.250 MHz
OOB Lock: 2.048 mbps
Signal Strenth: 100% 2.0 dBMv (I have to double check this one)
Signal Quality: 100% 31.5 dB
Authentication failure 1200
And from the logs the only thing that seemed to be of interest was:
"Authentication Status: Not Bound - Card Reasons"
Right now my plan is to return the card for a new one at a local RCN office and perhaps request another for a total of two CableCard. Right now I'm just stuck. I did call RCN but it seems if I'm not using a TiVo they are lost as well.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks in advance.
