[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1138835, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome! :) Well done for providing log files. You're off to a great start. (y) The log files show that the delay is due to TV Server having to fall back to the second tuner. Example...

That is [I]extreme[/I] to say the least. Not normal. Why did TV Server take so long?

Why? Good question. I'm not 100% sure. However, I do have a suggestion: change "preferred network provider" from "generic" to "ATSC". [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers#Edit_Tuner_Settings[/URL] I've seen reports in the past with similar symptoms/problems that have been fixed by changing that setting. Make sure you apply the change to both tuners. Let us know if that doesn't work. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
