It looks like you're using the LAV Video Decoder. This decoder doesn't work well for digital TV, so probably your problem here. Try a different video decoder.

If you click the "..." next to ffdshow, and scroll down the codec list, is MPEG2 enabled? It's off by default in ffdshow.

It was off, enabled it, still no joy.

Does a file get created in your live tv buffer directory when you try to watch tv?

Ahhh...thank you for the advice sub, checked that directory, and had permission problems due to an "buffer SSD drive" going out in my drive pool on my server. This fixed the problem, thank you for leading me to it!
