HDHomeRun Prime and cable card resets

[phelme]

FYI. If you haven't upgraded to the latest Prime firmware I'd recommend not doing it at the moment. A number of us on 0802b1 are having issues with continual cable card reset problems.

0802beta 1 - Subscription Required while watching channel.

Card communication error followed with 'no card'

This effectively ruins any encrypted channel recording that is underway, as when the card reboots, it is not instructed to decrypt the stream and so now becomes encrypted. Not cool. Channels that are clear QAM (i.e. broadcast) aren't affected by this since they wouldn't be encrypted in the first place.

My card has started to reset itself every hour or so now and so most recordings end up being useless.

If you're suffering from this, please file a ticket with SD and turn on your diagnostics so they can have more data on the issue.
