Post subject: | Can I manually select a tuner? |
I usually have 3 tuners on my myth box. A HDHomerun, HD-PVR, and an internal pchdtv hd-5500. The HDHomerun, and the HD-PVR are configured for cable channels, and the pchdtv hd-5500 is setup to capture OTA channels. Ok here's my problem, I am currently without cable and a cable box. When the box comes up it shows all of the tuners as idle. Code: Tuner 2 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 3 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 4 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 5 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 6 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 7 (HDHOMERUN) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 8 (DVB) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 9 (DVB) on mythtv2 : Idle Tuner 10 (HDPVR) on mythtv2 : Idle If I select watch TV it just flashes I'm thinking its stuck going to a tuner with no signal. Is there a way to select Tuner 8 (DVB) and a channel number? |

How stuck is it? If you can open the menu you can select Source and change the tuner. Or temporarily you can set tuner 8 to be the first tuner used on live tv. Do that is in mythtv-setup Input Connections. |

After selecting Watch TV, it just flashes "Please Wait" in the box, so couldn't get to where I could bring up the select tuner menu. Tried to set the tuner to 1 but that didn't work either. Figured it was just as easy to delete all tuners and add in the one I needed. Thanks for the thought. |

[quote="tscholl" Tried to set the tuner to 1 but that didn't work either.[/quote] Did you renumber the tuner that was previously 1? If that that is probably why it didn't work. |

The original tuner number was tuner 8. Nof really sure how that setting works, but each tuner was set to the same number as the tuner. |
