<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Since installing an HDHomeRun Prime with cable card, I've been struggling with some issues that I can best describe as stability problems that I'm trying to work through. I'm sure there are multiple things going wrong, and I'm not quite sure where to start. I'm pretty new to the community, so if I've missed some resources in attempting to track down my problems, nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.<br>
<br></div><div>A bit of history:<br><br></div><div>First, this a Ubuntu 12.04 system with MythTV 0.27 built and installed from sources. My cable provider is Cox in Las Vegas. The HDHomeRun firmware is 20140121. The cable card is a Cisco.<br>
</div><div><br></div>After going through the setup process, I end up with a MythTV system that works fine with some channels, but has various problems with others: channels that fail to tune and crash with an error message about 'unrecoverable tuner error'. Once this happens, I have to exit mythfrontend (usually by killing the process, because the gui is locked up) and restart it to recover. There are also some issues with recording programs, but I decided to get basic tv operation working first.</div>
</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm having the same problem. I had a mostly working setup but called because I was not getting one channel I was supposed to be. The tech totally borked my setup and then none of my channels worked. I've since spent about 4 hours on the phone with comcast and it's back to working just how you describe. Having to kill mythfrontend every time is getting to be a REAL PITA.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From what I understand from this:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.silicondust.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16869&sid=268d6a223176b8182d82d6aafc29f233">http://www.silicondust.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16869&sid=268d6a223176b8182d82d6aafc29f233</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Your case is authenticated but not activated and it's going into some sort of fallback mode where some channels work. I tried to explain to Comcast's ADVANCED tech support that my card isn't activated/validated but got nowhere. They're sending out a tech (at no charge if the problem is on their end, haha) but I don't know what they are PHYSICALLY going to do.</div>
