I have noticed that I have a reoccurring recording fail with "device failed to start". It occurs on one of the analog tuners in my 2250. This error only seems to occur if I have show scheduled to record on one of the QAM tuners just prior to it starting.
For example, I have the scheduled recording of "The Daily Show" at 11 PM every week night. This recordings appears to work most nights, but it always fails on Thursdays when I have the "The Mentalist" scheduled to record at 10-11 PM on a QAM channel.
I wonder NPVR is correctly handling the dual tuners of the 2250. It shows up as 4 devices, but only 2 tuners can be in use at any single point in time. It seems like is may chose the wrong tuner device for the second show not realizing is was already busy with a QAM recording.
