[QUOTE="T^2, post: 1075009, member: 145022"] I believe I got it working. In case anybody comes across this thread in the future, here is what I did. First, I simply set the delay for TV card detection in TV Server Configuration to 5 seconds. That in itself didn't appear to fix the problem. I thought it did, but when I got up this morning the Boss had already been up and tried to watch TV and found that MP was telling her that no cards were available. More negative impact to the WAF. Next, I tried setting the TV Server service to automatic delayed. That appears to work, however, the delay is about 2 minutes. I don't think telling the Boss that she has to wait 2 minutes after boot-up to be able to start MP and watch TV. Her response to that would most likely be: "I'm calling Comcast and having them install a box." Finally, I tried setting the TV Server service to manual, created the batch file as instructed, and setup Task Scheduler to run it. I set the trigger for the task to "At system startup". I also set the "Run whether user is logged on or not" and "Run with highest privileges" options for the task's security options (gave logon password when asked after clicking OK). I created the batch file in C:\ and named it TVServiceDelayStart.bat. In the Task Action setup (for Start a program) I browsed to the bat file and selected it. It was also necessary to set the Start in (optional) field to C:\ for the task to run the batch file. The batch file contains the follwing: I used the IP address 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS server) instead of 1.2.3.4. IP address 1.2.3.4 doesn't appear to work. I initially went back and set the delay for TV card detection setting back to 0 when first trying out the bat file via task scheduler. My thinking was that if the scheduler successfully ran the batch file, then the computer had an IP address assigned which would allow the TV Server service to find the tuner when it started. Apparently my thinking was wrong because it didn't work. TV Server service started but didn't detect the HDHomerun tuners. I had to reset the delay back to 5 seconds to get it all to work properly. I've shutdown the computer a few times and powered it back up to test it. So far it appears to be working. Thanks for the help mm. As always great tech support.:) [/QUOTE]
