I've got a new Win 8.1 box that I'm planning on migrating my install over to. I'm having trouble getting my HDHomeRun to scan for channels.

This is something I've done many times before on many different machines so I'm aware of the most common issue being the Windows Firewall - but with this disabled it still won't work.

I'm seeing this in the log

Anybody have any ideas what could be causing this?

I've made a change for the next build which should stop the exception shown in the logs, but it shouldn't be happening anyway unless there is something wrong with the BDA drivers.
