[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1014261, member: 82144"] Hello PABeaver :) No problem! Thanks for taking the time to try the patch. :) Excellent. :) I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "releasing"... which means that you most likely haven't done anything wrong - more likely this can be explained by me not knowing exactly what I'm doing! :D From the code I can say that we create a connection with the tuner when it is first loaded, and we don't close that connection until the tuner is unloaded (usually when the TV service is stopped). When you timeshift and record, we send "play" and "stop" commands to the tuner as necessary. So maybe this connection that we don't close is what you're referring to. Could you please clarify: [LIST] [*]What exactly do you mean by releasing? [*]How do you determine whether the tuner has been released or not?
