Ceton Releases Beta Support for Windows 8

Nov 27, 2012 by Josh Pollard

We reported a few weeks ago on the Entertainment 2.0 podcast that Ceton was advising users of their InfiniTV tuners not to upgrade their home theater PCs to Windows 8. This was due to changes that were made to Windows Media Center in Windows 8. Some users were able to make it work, but it wasn?t officially supported. Today however, Ceton released beta support for the new operating system. If you?re planning to stick with Windows 7 for a while then you won?t have any use for these drivers. If you?d like to move up to Windows 8 then the new download will include an updated Media Center plugin along with the new drivers.

There is one big piece of information to be aware of though: network tuner sharing from a Windows 8 host is still not supported. That means that if you rely on network tuner sharing, that you need to keep the InfiniTV tuner installed in a Windows 7 box. You will be able to use Windows 8 PCs as clients to a network tuner bridging setup though.

They also released a beta of the Ceton Companion Service for Windows 8 today. You?ll need to install this beta release on any Windows 8 HTPC that you would like to connect to with any of the Ceton Companion mobile apps for Windows Phone, iPhone, or Android.

Download the Windows 8 InfiniTV 4 beta drivers here.
