"The tuner being used for LiveTV is no longer available"

donschjr · 2010-08-17, 07:51 PM

I can get about 5 seconds of live tv and then I get the tuner unavailable message. I had it working when I first installed npvr then I started getting the message while mapping channels and I get it now all the time no matter what I do.

did you apply the patch? It fixes the primary problem for me

I've tried it this evening and it has fixed the problem for me too. Thanks Sub!

by the way, I see the "GetQuality()" ad nauseam messages have gone, I think it was this patch that did it. a nice bonus, thanks sub!

Just tried it and it seems to work but I won't be able to test much until tomorrow night I have recordings scheduled in GBPVR tonight.

sub, sorry to bug you, but I'm wondering if you have any ETA on a patch for the remaining portion of this bug? that is, the bit where the livetv lease fails when a recording starts, and then in turn the recording runs on forever. for me this is the last big bug in NPVR, everything else is resolved.

Unfortunately I havent had a chance to look into it yet. My day job has been keeping me busy the last couple of days. Maybe this afternoon though.

ok, thanks sub. I know you have more than just my bug reports to deal with Wink

There is a few problems mentioned in this thread, and I've not looked at them all, so I'm not sure if they're related or not. I've attached a patch that was specifically attempted to fix the problem Martin was having with analog, but it did involve a fix outside of the analog specific code, so it may have an impact on other problems mentioned in this thread. So, give it a go and let me know if it helps...

thanks sub, I've installed the patch, live tv is on and there's a recording starting in 10 minutes... fingers crossed!
