HDHomeRun Channel Change Failure

Post by ams123 » Sat Dec 27, 2014 4:53 pm

I am new to Argus TV and am having some issues. Here is my system.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
AverMedia A188 duet
HDHomeRun dual tuner

Both tuners are for US broadcast ATSC

If I disable the HDHomeRun the AverMedia tunes live TV fine with 2 second channel changes. When I enable all 4 or just the HDHomeRun the first channel takes 9 seconds to tune and then when I try to change channels it fails. I have done all the fixes from the Wiki for the HDHomeRun. I tried to verify the tuner reset was set to true, saw there was a issue if windows was set to 125%, in the SDF file but I could not read it. So I ended up setting windows back to 100% and disabling - save - enabling the tuner reset when idle.

Would appreciate any help.

Here is a section from the log that shows the issue.

Updated to 2.3 last night and channel changing seems to be working now. Bonus channel change times for the HDHomeRun are down to about 3 seconds.
