[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305189, member: 141969"] In "TV Server Config", each tuner must be set up separately for the channels that you can receive. There are two ways of doing this: (1) Select each tuner in turn, and perform "scan for channels" for each tuner. Remember to select [b]Enable channel movement detection[/b] (you will need to enable this for each tuner, each time that you scan or rescan). This method tests each tuner to verify that it is still working, and that all of the aerial connections are in good condition (e.g. no oxidation on the plugs or sockets). (2) Use the "Channel Mapping" panel and map onto tuners 2, 3, and 4, the channels found when scanning tuner 1. This is OK if all of your tuners have the same capability. If you have a quad tuner card, all of the tuners are likely to have the same capability, but my HTPC has one DVB-T2 card, and one DVB-T card (so different capabilities).
