Since I don’t have a plex pass to view that, can you post the details here?
I’ll throw in my request to support Ceton as well. I’ve got a Mediaportal setup for TV/Movies; and plex setup for movies/music outside of my home. If I could move everything to a single plex server that would greatly increase the device compatibility, while reducing my server count.

Sorry, didn’t realize that was in a protected area. The relevant paragraph from that post:
Ceton – This manufacturer has never supported the BDA standard in Windows, consequently anyone who wished to support them must integrate their proprietary framework. In addition, the company has discontinued development and support of the drivers and as such, Plex cannot support these.
It also mentioned this:
But if you are the tinkerer type, there is another option:
TVHProxy – This is proxy software, written to interface TVHeadend, which is a linux-based DVR package, with Plex. Many users have been able to utilize this to get their unsupported device working for now. We do not support this method, but have heard good things about it.
There is alternate firmware for the Ceton PCIe 6 to support the UCrypt QAM to IP product. As far as I know, this is still a current product that ATX Networks is offering which would most likely still have some hardware support from whatever is left of Ceton.
I have sent an email to Ceton to see if they might be able to share whatever firmware they have.
Just curious… BDA is a Windows specific platform.
Has anyone tried the InfinTV with Linux? Ceton has “unsupported” Linux drivers available for download.
I’m not familiar with how Linux works so I would be a bad one to test it. I do have a PC with a PCIe 6 just sitting here if someone could point me to a very simple way to install Linux.
I would like to add to the request to support ceton cards. I am currently using myhtv and Plex for the sole reason that the tuner card is not supported by Plex

Thanks for that. I have since upgraded to Plex Pass, so I’ll be able to check out the details from here on out.
As much as I’d like to see plex support this card, It’s not going to be as critical because of services like Sling TV and Playstation Vue becoming more viable.
I tried the OTA recording yesterday and it worked really well. For now I’m planning on running Plex as a front-end for “away from home” content, and just having it monitor recorded TV folders that are populated by Mediaportal, but I think I’ll eventually move over to plex completely once I can talk my wife out of cable tv, since most of our shows are on OTA and netflix.
