Hello and welcome! 
When you say MediaPortal is freezing...
What is happening behind the scenes is that MediaPortal is trying (and failing!) to use each of your 6 tuners to tune the channel you requested. With your current configuration, each tuner takes approximately 25 seconds to try. 25 seconds multiplied by 6 tuners gives 2 minutes 30 seconds, which is a long time... so no wonder you think MediaPortal is freezing.
From the log files, it looks like MediaPortal's TV Server is not receiving a stream from the tuner for the channel you tried (NFL Network HD). Immediately prior to NFL HD I can see you tried WTTG, which appears to have worked fine. A couple of days earlier I can see you were able to tune NFL Network HD with no problems.
...so this is a bit strange.
Do you only have problems with certain channels?
Regards,
mm

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm glad the problem is gone, but do please let us know if it comes back. Intermittent problems are the worst, and I'd love to be able to figure out what was going on.

Apologies Pablik. My bad. I neglected to run WMI Manager and check Properties as you advised. Sure enough, it produced this error:
I tried to run winmgmt /resetrepository, but there were conflicts with running services. So I stopped those services (Malwarebytes & IP Helper), then stopped the winmgmt service. I was then able to run...
