Installed MP-2 today on windows 7 HTPC with a HD Homerun dual ATSC tuner. Noticed that one tuner is always in use (the green light is on) even when MP is shut down. Any one know why this is happening?

    Hello and welcome to MP2.:)

    Any one know why this is happening?
    Impossible to tell without logs.

    even when MP is shut down.
    Did you also terminate the MP2 Server Service? If yes, then the problem is not with MP2. Otherwise there is the TV plugin that has an in-built EPG feature, which may use the tuner (logs would tell ;)). In the US there is no DVB-EPG and you may want to use other sources for program information, e.g. the EPG-Buddy, which you can find in the forum.

    Hi,

    just an idea: Do you have a parallel MP1 with TV Server installation by chance? Then you have two MP TV Servers with the MP3.0 TV Engine running in parallel. That would explain one TV card being blocked by the 'other' MP installation. In that case you need to terminate the MP1 TV Server for MP1.

    Although they use the same MP3.0 TV Engine code base MP1 and MP2 both have both their own TV server which behaves a little bit differently.

    Cheers

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

    Hi CyberSimian (and others) just a bit along the coast from me (near Exeter) - I know you are very long-standing!

It is an awesome...

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
