[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1154604, member: 82144"] Okay. In these latest log files TV Server has access to all 3 of your tuners again, so let's put this aside at least for the moment. The only other thing I'll add is to remind you that the patch needs to be reapplied after every MediaPortal upgrade or reinstallation. In order to free up your tuners you would also need to power cycle the HDHR. Did you do that? I can't comment about HDHR Setup as it is completely separate to MediaPortal. From a TV Server perspective, here's what happened since you restarted TV Server at 9:40 PM. All 3 tuners were detected. Immediately, TV Server tried to start recording "Modern Family" on channel "6 ABC WLNE". At the time, the first tuner (3) seems to have been in use. I can't tell if that's an after effect from the earlier issues, or you were using it in HDHR Setup, or something else. Anyhow, the second tuner (4) was usable so TV Server used that to complete the recording. That recording completed 1 minute later (9:41 PM). Now TV Server is not using any tuners. Next action was at 9:46 when TV Server started recording "E.0. Wilson -- Of Ants and Men" on channel "2 PBS WGBH". Again, tuner 3 appears to be in use externally and tuner 4 works fine. Immediately after starting that recording, TV Server also tried to start recording "Empire" on channel "11 FOX WNAC". Tuner 3 still appears to be in use externally; tuner 4 is in use for recording as mentioned above; tuner 5 is tried for the first time, and it also appears to be in use externally. So, the "Empire" recording fails to start. It's at this point that I see you try to start viewing "24 Discovery". Tuner statuses are the same as before. Both tuner 3 and 5[B] [/B]are not being used by TV Server, but they appear to be in use externally so TV Server can't touch them... and tuner 4 is recording. TV Server continues to try and start recording "Empire", but the tuner statuses don't change so the recording continues to fail. This is expected if you don't power cycle the tuner to reset all the tuner statuses. In the meantime I also see you try to view "11 FOX WNAC", "10 NBC WJAR", "9 CW WLWC", "8 RIPBS WSBE" etc. etc. etc. and get the same error every time for the reasons explained above. Where do you go from here? Well, like I said above: it is not enough to simply disable the firewall. You must also power cycle the HDHR to clear the tuner connections. If you don't do that, TV Server will continue to be locked out of the tuners that were previously not unlocked. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
