[QUOTE="Hotkey, post: 1177361, member: 53751"] Thank you for your reply. I've only tested some of the tuners on purpose. I'll try to explain why: Intially i tested alle Tuners on this channel, and all Tuners failed in sequence. Unfortunately i have no logs from this test. As described in the opening post the problem is gone for each Tuner after the first failure for some hours (how long is what i want to find out).... [B] Why no other channel was tested:[/B] ... So if i tune afterwards again, the previosly failed Tuner will not fail anymore. With this knowing it wouldn't help to check another channel since every channel will work now for the next hours. Of course i could tune to another channel before the failing one next time. (will do this). Besided: In the past year running this server, the problem only occures on the mentionend channels so far (See screenshot "channels" in the opening post) [B]Why not all tuners have been tested:[/B] I've got the knowing, that after the arise of the error the tuner will "be good" for an unknown time (multiple hours). So i'm guessing that also a successfull "Tune" will reset the timer until the error occurs again. So if i tune all tuners successfully i might not find the pattern after which the error arises again. So my intention was to produce the Error at time X and then test the 5 individual tuners after different idle-times: E.g. first Tuner after 4hours, second after 12hours, third after 14hours and so on. If i do this for all Tuners each time, i'll need 4 days for this test. Of course, maybe the problem lies in the Satelite-Distributor and the Tune of one tuner will "reset the timer" for all the others. Long story short: I'll test all Tuners next time. (Currently all are working). [B]About "strong indications of signal strength/quality problems.":[/B] Yes, as described and visible in the Screenshot the quality-indicator drops from 83 to zero from one second to the other and never returns until i Stop and Retune. Afterwards it stays constant for hours. [B]Factor HDD-Load:[/B] The System is only used by the HTPC-Server and no other action has taken place. So far no Anti-Vir is installed and i tried three drives for Timeshifting so far (HDD, Samsung SSD and now a new Samsung SSD). Maybe the Board (4-5 years old) has an Issue, but the following facts are arguments against a HDD Issue: [LIST] [*]Error occurs only during the first 70 seconds or never that day/evening [*]Error occurs only on this channels and never on others [/LIST] [B]Next Steps:[/B] [LIST] [*]I'll go on with the tests and will now first tune to an unproblematic channel for 1-2 Minutes and will then switch to the problematic one. I'll then repeat these steps for every tuner and will post the logs if the error arises again. [/LIST] Again, thanks so far [/QUOTE]
