Changed from comcast to Fios and Can't get NextPVR to tune now

[Pctravel]

I had comcast working with my infinit tv 6 tuner and the cable card. Fios tech was out today, with the Ceton diagnostic tool I can get the card detected, OOB locked, Pairing shows OK, he can see it on his side, card validated, tuning channel succeeded and entitlement says OK for the channel. I think the card is ok.

I tried just firing up and rescanning the tuners and seemed to scan but because I couldn't tune I uninstalled, changed the name of the NPVR folder and deleted the registry key and did a full reinstall, scanned channels, setup my schedules direct but when I click on a channel or directory I get black screen with no sound. I tried recording but doesn't record (zero file size) but creates file. If I click on a channel and go to settings status it shows "live tv:c:\temp\channel name" but nothing shows and no sound. For Mpeg2 decoders I tried Lav, Cyberlink MPEG muxer, FFdshow, cyberlink PDVD9 all no help. Any help? Logs attached. Appreciate any assistance.

I'm not familiar with the specific workings of the Ceton, but it sounds like the FIOS channels are copy protected. Try recording a channel and see if the recording file grows. Does the Ceton have a web server or other diagnostic which shows information about the turners and their current status similar to what the HDHR Prime has? If so, look for the CCI Flag setting. It must be "Copy Freely" for NextPVR to be able to successfully record the channel. If it is "Copy-Once" or "Copy-Never", then you're out of luck.

If you do get a file recorded, you can try playing it with another player like Windows Media Player or VLC to see if the problem is with codecs, etc. within NextPVR.

Most of FiOS channels are not DRM (some that are include Fox cable, NatGeo and BigTen network). Several years ago, I switched from Comcast to FiOS without much issue, although I use a HDHR Prime.
