mbnwa 49 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) The HDHR Prime only supports digital channels (QAM), from searching a cable card is not required but only unencrypted channels would be found. Most providers like. Comcast, ect generally require a cable card for digital service. If your provider is still using analog (NTSC / ATSC) the HDHR will not work Note IPTV / Sat services are also not supported by the HDHR prime Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 6, 2018 by mbnwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like from your later post you are not getting DIGITAL cable but Analog. If that is in fact the case then the HDHR Prime will not work for you - DIGTAL Only. I don't think any of the HDHR tuners will work in your case. Are you certain it is Analog? One thing you can check is in the HDHomeRun Setup program on the Configuration tab ensure your source tab is set to Digital Cable (without CableCard installed) or CableCard (with CableCard installed). Then do a channel scan. The HDHR tuners need to have a good signal level also. If there are 1 or more splitters installed in your cable line BEFORE it gets to the HDHR Prime the signal level might not be strong enough. In that case I would try removing a splitter(s) and try again - or move the tuner to a different spot as close to where the cable enters the home.

kanipek 224 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thank you very much, if my current CABLE TV is ANALOG, I will have to buy digital TV then I know we are dealing with a language barrier here - The TV is not what you need to change to be able to use the HDHR Prime. The signal that comes to the home need to be DIGITAL cable. So if that signal is analog as you suggest a new TV will not solve the issue. Is that clear?

I don't really understand the question you asked "If I have....." Lets find out first what type of Signal you have coming into the home. Then proceed from there.

edwinuscamm 0 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm thinking of buying MOVISTAR's digital cable, three decoders which would be connected by a HDHOMER UN spliter to connect it to the only HDHOMERUN port I COULD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) http://www.movistar.com.pe/hogar/tv/cobertura ahh. Este es en Peru.. Me no conoce pero no te creo la Cable en Peru requirmente CableCARD. Es digital aunque.. And that is pushing my ability in Spanish. Ahh, this is in Peru. I don't know but I don't believe that Cable in Peru requires CableCARD. It is digital though. Edited March 6, 2018 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So piecing together what @@Sammy posted and what I think I understand from what you are telling me - Using a splitter to hook up the 3 decoders and the HDHR Prime MAY work, it depends on your signal strength. Depending on the spitter you use you may end up with 25% of the original signal strength on each output tap or 1 port may maybe 50% and the other 3 25%. Your splitter needs to be compatible with the frequency range of your cable system. You may end up needing to use a distribution amp instead - which will give you the same signal level out of each output tap, or perhaps a slight gain compared to the input. It appears from what @@Sammy posted that you will HAVE to have a CableCard inserted to get any channels out of the HDHR Prime. I don't know if the cable system where you live operates similar to what we have in the US. Don't KNOW that it will be compatible with the HDHR Prime. I hope this is clear enough thru the translatior : Así que reconstruir lo que @@Sammy publicó y lo que creo que entiendo por lo que me está diciendo: usar un divisor para conectar los 3 decodificadores y el HDHR Prime MAY funcionará, depende de la intensidad de la señal. Dependiendo del spitter que uses, puedes terminar con el 25% de la potencia original de la señal en cada toma de salida, o 1 puerto puede ser quizás el 50% y los otros 3 el 25%. Su divisor debe ser compatible con el rango de frecuencia de su sistema de cable. Puede terminar necesitando usar un amplificador de distribución en su lugar, lo que le dará el mismo nivel de señal en cada toma de salida, o quizás una ganancia ligera en comparación con la entrada. De lo que @@Sammy publicó, parece que tendrá que tener una CableCard insertada para sacar cualquier canal del HDHR Prime. No sé si el sistema de cable donde vives funciona de manera similar a lo que tenemos en los Estados Unidos. NO SABE que será compatible con HDHR Prime. Espero que esto sea lo suficientemente claro a través de la traducción. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
