It seems that the Linksys, Dlink and HP Media Centre extenders all have the same problem of stopping with a blank black screen. You can try the troubleshooting methods in the following article. Niki Han. TechNet Community Support. I have 3 Linksys DMA extenders and have gone through every step in that article to no avail. Although it's written for Windows 7, it basically just re-hashes the firewall port concerns which is handled automatically during extender registration unless you have a very unusual firewall installed.
I'm not sure whether this was a ploy to get us all to buy XBoxes like Niki suggests or rather a lazy Windows 8 testing team who just looked for whatever type of extender they had handy to work with instead of testing each of the 4 models in existence not like there's even a dozens.
When a software company changes the entire UI for their product, they're guaranteed to have people frustrated while they try and learn it - but when you couple that with poor testing and functionality - it's a quick way to lose customers and add to the voices already calling Windows 8 a failure. Ceton has told me, that those who bought them prior to Jan 1, have a two year warranty.
It seems legally and morally wrong for Microsoft to allow XBox to work with protocols to extend media but not to allow Ceton a competitor to do it.
I have called MS for support on this over the weekend but no return call yet. I am in the first 30 days of buying Win 8 Pro. Time Warner was out here and there Level 3 did not have an answer. It has been impossible to get Ceton on the phone for help. It stated clearly on Microsoft's website, the only extender supported in Windows 8 is Xbox The link is here.
After setup, it is a blank screen shown on TV. However, if you pretend to see the guide on the screen, you can still control it by the navigate the menu items using the remote control. I have both live channels and recorded shows played on the TV. The easiest way to start is to press the "Live TV" button. The last channel you watched will show up in a few seconds. By the way, this stopped working with Windows 8.

Did you actually install the RTM version or the version available for download in the Store?
You might need to reinstall windows 8 pro mce and download 8. In reply to mlg63's post on November 2, The one from the Store. My mistake, assumed RTM meant the release version. At this point I've talked to Xbox support who had me powercycle and re-setup my network connection no change.
So now I'm waiting for a call back from Windows Support. So they gave me the phone number and recommended I try calling them on Monday. In reply to Grimtouched's post on November 2, End result is he suspects something failed during the 8.
So the potential fixes are to roll back to Win 8 and apply the update again or do a fresh install of Windows. In reply to Grimtouched's post on November 4, You and are not alone.
I am having the same issue and wish Msoft would sort out the problem. In reply to cjjc's post on January 21, I'm also at a loss All it says is 'Try to reboot'
