    Hi all, so the 290e arrived and I've hooked it up inc channel scan just for HD channels (I have another K World tuner for SD).

    I can't get MP to show any of the channels though, I just get a stream error "unknown error".

    If i open up tv server config I can preview a HD channel, but sound only, no picture although that has always been the case even with SD channels via the K World.

    I also use for the record if that matters.

    Sorry, forgot logs - have solved the issue, it was the CAM being enabled for the new HD stick and then after disabling I needed to restart the tv service. All working fine now on my 3610 live HD and recorded no problem, even at the same time!!

    A slightly fuller update - I got this working nicely in the end with a few hours on tinkering (mainly around EPG and 4TR). I had to disable the CAM on the 290e, update codecs to SAF6 and disable EPG on the 290e, enabling HD EPG capturing from WEBEpg instead which works nicely.

    A little bit of tinkering to refresh and organise the channel lists across MP and 4TR and I was away! Will see how it goes, but both live and recorded playback look lovely.
