  • Hey guys, comment on the issue with no tuner available message with both a HDHR prime and ceton. I have both of those tuners as well, and Josh’s comment was right on. When the HDHR is being used on a different computer, the HTPC doesn’t know, but it will still try to access the tuner and fail, thus showing the pop-up. Depending on the random order of the 7 tuners that media center assigned during tv setup, you could have any order of the tuners (and you can’t change them in bulk via guidetool, you would have to go into each channel and re-order the tuners). I just kept running tv setup until the HDHR tuners were not in the first 3 in the order to stop this error from happening in most cases as the Ceton tuners are dedicated to that local HTPC, and the HDHR tuners are more of a “backup” in case I need more than 4 at one time. That was the way I got around this, curious to hear if anyone else has ideas.
