I am having trouble with my WinTV-HVR-1600. It seems that the analog tuner sometimes doesn't work, and I have to reboot the computer to make it work again. The symptom is that in attempting to watch Live TV, it just fails and returns to the menu. When it claims to be recording no file is placed on the hard drive.
The only correlation I have made so far is that it seems to happen if GB-PVR tries to use the tuner while the server is sitting at the login screen (such as after a Windows Update triggered reboot). This use could be either from a recording, or from trying to watch Live TV from my MPV. I have not had time to spend to find out if I can always reproduce it this way, so it may not actually be related.
Has anyone else run into problem like this? Is there some workaround I can use to avoid this problem?
