![]() My friend has spent a LOT of time with the Silicon Dust folks (who haven't got a clue about why this is behaving this way) with his local cable provider (in case it's somehow related to the cable cards) and with Microsoft (who basically simply said WMC is obsolete). ![]() In any event, I 'll post a link to this thread in the HDHomeRun forum along with a brief description. It's not at all clear there's anything wrong with the HDHomeRuns, but it's equally not clear this is a WMC issue. ![]() Not a bad idea to see if those focused on the HDHomeRun might have some insight. something I might not have thought of would be appreciated. Just for grins, I'm going to completely reinstall Win7 on a new SSD today and see if this somehow changes things - but I'm not optimistic, since restoring the original image is effectly the same thing and didn't work.Īny other thoughts r.e. I'm only here until tomorrow, but I sure thought that with a couple days of actually being here I'd figure out a resolution. And the other strange part of this is that some channels work perfectly, and others all have this problem. he hasn't moved hasn't changed providers hasn't changed cable cards etc. This almost certainly indicates something external had to have changed - but nothing has. What really blows my mind is that restoring the original image from when we set it all up (and everything was working perfectly) has the same problem. => I've looked at the logon pages for the HDHomeruns and the status info all indicate they're working just fine. => The tuner limit was increased and is working fine, since I can record 6 channels at once with no issue as long as they're channels that work. => Can't be IPTV, since the HDHomerun app plays all of the channels perfectly. I hope someone is able to be more helpful and give you a specific and accurate solution.Īppreciate the thoughts, but none of these help. ![]() You might try looking at those details when trying to tune to one of the problem channels from WMC. I seem to recall that it gives some data on the stream and/or any errors encountered. Lastly, as I recall, I think there is a way of monitoring what the HDHR Prime Units are doing at any given moment using the HDHR software.If all 6 tuners are added, go to one of the problem channels using edit channel and hover over each tuner in turn to see if any of them end up tuning.Make sure that you have increased the WMC tuner limit to allow for 6 or more tuners.I have a similar setup and thought I'd just mention a few things that I would try if I were in that situation: I'm kind of grasping at straws here since the channels are tuning properly in the HDHomerun Application on the same PC. Note: I also restored an image from 2 years ago when we set this up and it was working perfectly - I thought for sure this would resolve it, but it has the same problem !! several ways) disabling the extenders (done) etc.įound an earlier thread here that talked about editing the channel numbers, but the numbers are all correct and match what's shown in the HDHomerun app for the same channels - am I missing something here? Also found references that indicate this can be a firewall issue - but nothing changes if the firewall is completely disabled. I found a few posts about this issue that recommend reinstalling WMC (done) re-scanning the channels (done) confirming that the Media Center Receiver Service is allowed through the firewall (done - tried toggling this off/on, etc. And the channel scan in Media Center setup finds all of the channels, and displays them in the guide (using EPG123 for guide info). Note that ALL of them play perfectly in the HDHomeRun program (on the same PC, and of course using the same tuners). Many channels simply won't play and show the message I just noted. The HDHomeRun Primes are working fine - I can record 6 channels at once (from those that are working) with no issue (he has 2 HD HomeRun Primes). If you schedule a recording for a later time, you'll get a "There was no TV signal on Channel xx" message and it won't record. The channel may be temporarily off the air. There is currently no TV signal detected for this channel. The issue: On SOME, but not all, channels, the following message is displayed if he attempts to access the channel: No joy so far, so thought I'd see if anyone's encounted this and found a solution. I'm now visiting him for a couple days, and thought I'd see if I could get any better results in person. WMC was working fine until a year or so ago, but suddenly developed a very strange issue that I could not help him resolve remotely. Trying to help a friend with a VERY weird problem.
