For some reason I am randomly receiving "All cards are busy" when trying to start timeshifting. This problem just now arose after switching my dish to a Dish Pro Plus. However, I don't seem to have any problems at all in DVB-Dream, which leads me to believe it's a TV-Server problem. I noticed a fix here -> 0001456: A failed channel tune could lock the card and not release it. - MediaPortal Bugtracker from a month ago that applied to the SkyStar2, but I still seem to be having the same problem. Generally if I keep trying it will eventually tune the channel no problem. It also seems to happen on some channels more than others, but that might just be in my head as I haven't actually had the problem long enough to be able to make a distinction like that. My log is below. Any ideas?

But I have signal in DVB Dream on that channel and if I were to keep hitting "Start Timeshifting" it would eventually tune. Does that mean I've got the LNBs configured incorrectly?

Seems an update to the latest skystar2 drivers has fixed this for me. I can't believe I wasted an entire week and that was all it was.
