</div>In theory, it *should* work, but I have dealt with at least one person<br>
who tried to do this and had it not work on them-- a fresh lineup<br>
worked properly for them. Since I didn't look at that user's channel<br>
table, I can't be sure he did it properly, so YMMV.<br>
<br>
That said, you probably won't want to use your firewire lineup, as<br>
remember 5C protection and CCI flags do *not* have a direct<br>
relationship with one another, and that the Prime has to behave<br>
according to some CableLabs rules that firewire doesn't.<br>
Specifically, if CGMS for the channel is rcd-protected (Broadcast flag<br>
present in the stream), and there is no CCI set on the channel, the<br>
prime is not permitted to stream the data to anything but WMC. In my<br>
market this is about a half dozen channels including some ClearQAM<br>
ones. I'm forced to capture CBS and FOX on the QAM tuner for this<br>
reason.<br>
<br>
There's really no penalty in having a different lineup for both<br>
devices. Since there will almost definitely be at least some<br>
variance, I would advise doing so.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Thank you -- understood. I will create a separate lineup as you suggest, starting with the SD source for my Firewire list of digital channels, and go from there.<br>
