SageTV 6.5.16 and HDHR 20090527beta1

It sounds like something was corrupt like Jason said from Silicondust. You can copy the SageTV directory somewhere else, uninstall and delete it and do a new install with only the HDHR configured to see if that works. Prior to upgrading to the latest beta I was running the HDHR production version with the .16 Sage beta and did not have your issues. I DID have the issue initially until I removed the sources and added them back in as new. And actually you could run a SageTV install on any of your PCs as a trial and test it. Just make sure to shut down your production Sage. You're running this on WHS, correct? And there was also an issue with the EPG server for a couple of days which could have affected you.

Yes, I am running this on WHS. I did try an uninstall, deleting the SageTV directory, rebooting, clean installing the .16 Sage beta, and then adding only the HDHR as a Video source. Still "No Signal," which got me to thinking that the only settings persistent between the two installs would be in the registry. I'm not sure if there is anything there that would effect the HDHR tuning or not.. I did send Sage support my .log, .scn, and .frq files from that test so hopefully I'll hear something back.

I'm not above another uninstall, delete, reinstall to try a clean install of the release version 6.5.9. Just not going to do it during game three of the Cup Finals tonight. HD-PVR to the rescue.

Thanks for the tip on trying another PC as a test. That thought had occurred to me but I wasn't sure how the licensing would work out. Shutting down the WHS service and then installing the trial version on a test PC sounds like the way to go.
