Hi guys...

This is a persistent issue with my install, and has been since a few weeks ago. (reported in a previous thread with rc1)

I can enter Live TV fullscreen without issue. When I try to change channels normally I get a long pause then the "cannot find audio/video signal" error and I need to exit to the GUI. Then I must go to Guide and select channels. but I always get the same message on the first attempt, but usually can get the channel on the second attempt. I can get all the channels in my lineup, but need to go through the two-step Guide process each time.

I have re-installed rc2, rescanned my tuners and got my lineup from Schedules Direct without issue. My HDHomerun tunes quickly with its native GUI. It takes considerably longer with the scan in MP, but with the same lineup result. Recording scheduled programs doesn't seem to be affected and appears to function normally (I didn't test this with this build but did with the last SVN)

Can you help me nail this down, it is really disrupting the WAF rating.

Thanks

Chuck

PS: The logs collected to a nice size this time (not 15 GB)

Well...

It looks like the issue may be with the new software for the HDHomerun. Channel changing works just fine for my analog tuner (I just don't use it much at all)

Maybe this will alert others with the HDHomerun..... until they get an agreeable version.

Thanks

The 20080723beta1 update for the HD Homerun resolved this issue.
