Issues continue - new PC, fresh configs...

[Ricknextpvr]

Brand new Windows 11 Geekom PC.  Fresh install of NextPVR, copying setup from old machine per discussion on other thread.  Last night went to watch NBC Nightly News, which was recording about 5 minutes in.  Would not open.  Tried watching live, would not open.  CBS recorded at the same time and was watchable.  No message about unable to get signal.  Live watching worked fine via TV directly.

It appears that HD HomeRun ending in 306 has an issue, potentially with the 2nd tuner, which is where NBC was recording to my inspection.  Log files are a bit confusing to me, so I've attached.

306 was the same tuner having issues before, but we thought it was just a refresh issue...  I have one other HD HomeRun I could swap in if that's the issue, but don't want to if that's not the issue.

I don't understand why if NextPVR can't use it, it doesn't grab another tuner.  306 0 and 1 are the first on the priority list.  

When I use HD HomeRun software, I can watch all 4 tuners live no problem.  

Thank you.

I can't say for certain that it will help but you have the HDHR device primed which is not a good thing. Basically you were streaming from the HDHR for 24 hours after a successful recording.

I suggest turning that off.

I will do that now, thanks!

Also I forgot to tell you you need to map more channels to Schedules Direct.

None of those blanks are channels I watch, but I will have to figure out how to do that.  I don't want to lose the 5 channels I watch being reordered which I did years ago and probably can't remember how to do it again.

I was getting ready to send "it worked", when I went to scan ABC News tonight after watching NBC successfully.

Unfortunately, same issue.

Different scenario this time for ABC it couldn't lock and there was a BDA (driver) error.

Code:

Thanks for the quick answer. I looked up what a BDA error means, but have no idea what to do about it.

[mvallevand]

I am not sure if it is an issue with the HDHR either, but the no signal issue is important.
