[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1148125, member: 141969"] :eek: :eek: :eek: With the default settings, MP was trying all eight of my tuners. But after identifying the source of this timeout issue, I decided that there is no point trying more than one tuner [i]if the tuners are identical and fed from the same aerial[/i]. If you have different makes of tuner, it is possible that they vary in sensitivity, so with a marginal signal, one tuner might always be able to receive a channel, while the other tuner might only sometimes receive it. So in that case it might make sense to try more than one tuner. I have just been looking at my setup notes, and it seems that I did not make this change -- possibly for the same reason as you (I couldn't find it! :(). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
