Server Version#: latest  
Player Version#: latest  
Tuner Make/Model: Hauppauge WinTV hd duel  
Guide/Lineup name:  
Using XMLTV?:  
Channel number/Name:

When I’m watching a channel and I then change to another it loses server connection . I tend to have to reboot the nvidia shield I’m running the server on. Annoying as I use it to stream to Apple TV in kitchen where I have no tv reception. When it works it’s great but it’s so unreliable I’m back to using iPlayer , and the likes .
