I'm at my wit's end on this. I've spent days off and on and wasted a few hours tonight.
So . the cause of the problem was that one channel (actually 3 on the same carrier) would always deteriorate the longer I left the tuner on them. Like when recording. If I changed to another channel and returned - the signal strength improves. If I'm recording on the channel and so can't change that tuner changing the other tuner on the same USB stick did nothing. But I could get improvement by fiddling with antenna connections. It's now a single cable to the wall. I tried this solution that follows - but the frequencies seem to match what the TV and provider says: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ion-of-1-tv-channel-continuity-errors.122818/
So in desperation I uninstalled and reinstalled with the intention of a clean take with the two USB tuners I've had problems with. A Digital Now Tiny Twin and the Winfast TV Twin Dongle. Both of which (largely) worked before.
But now I can't find any channels on either tuner after the reinstall. Nothing, with no errors in the logs I can see. I've tried them one at a time and plugged in the same cable to the TV directly which works perfectly.
Logs attached, really grateful for any advice.. So I can get back to just the original problem!
