Dual Tuner Setup (1 Viewer)

[Steven Piazza]

I am using a Homerun Dual Tuner with MP1. The configuration utility sees both tuners. The same channels have been added to both tuners. I performed a channel test from within the config utility and the software appears test both tuners independently and at the same time successfully. BUT...

When I use the MP1 console, record a show on channel 2 and then try to watch a different channel. I am presented with error that there are no available tuners.

Would this issue have anything to do with the location of the timeshift folder?[DOUBLEPOST=1411825226][/DOUBLEPOST]I just noticed if I try to use the "manual control" option within the config utility...set one tuner to channel 2 and the other to channel 7, I receive "all cards are busy" (even though the second tuner is in an "idle" state). I using a Silicon Dust HD Home Run HDHR3. Is this not compatible for dual tuning from within MP1?

you said you scanned both HDHR tuners, but I'd suggest you doublecheck both tuners have all the expected channels mapped, see wiki

it would help if you included logs files so we could see where you might be getting into trouble, and a description of what you did to get both tuners active and the times to look in the log files

Your post help out. I got it to work. There was a box checked off to check for EPG when idle. I unchecked and this freed up the tuner for view\record. Thanks!

I didn't think about the auto scan for DVB-EPG. For people in the USA ATSC that option does not do anything useful since it works for not-USA TV modes. I always turn off both "grabbing while timeshifting" and "grabbing while idle" in DVB EPG when I setup MePo. see
