I think that your HTPC is like mine, in that each tuner can receive the same set of channels. But in general, an HTPC might contain tuners with different capabilities (e.g. analogue, digital, cable, DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2). To cope with this, MP allows each tuner to have a different set of tuned channels. So each tuner has to be set up with the list of channels that it can receive.

One possible explanation for the idle tuner not being able to receive ITV1 is that you have not set up that tuner, so MP does not know what channels that tuner can receive. You said in your first post that you scanned with each tuner in turn. Are you sure that you did that?

If you have scanned with each tuner in turn, I don't have an explanation for your observations (but I am not a TV expert). To help diagnose this, the general request is to enter "MP Config" and set the log level to DEBUG (on the first panel), run your test, exit MP, and then use the "MP Watchdog" to collect all of the logs (Watchdog packs them into a zip file). All you have to do is upload the zip file to this thread. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the TV Server part of MP will have a look.
