It WAS a stable feature up through server version 1.19.5.3112, then some change was made in an update that broke the tuner function. Many of us are sticking with version 1.19.5.3112
until they find the bug and fix it

Hi - A couple of changes are being made to address these Plex Tuner Service issues. One has already been released in Plex Media Server 1.21.1.3876 - did you try this release ?

• (DVR) Plex Tuner Service would sometimes fail to start up on Windows, when machine was under load (#12035)

I have been having the same issue for at least a month. Usually it happened a few days after installing an update. The DVR would stop recording, and if I tried live TV I would get the error “Could not tune channel.”

I have a HDHomeRun DUAL. I tried reinstalling the software for that, reboot and Plex seemed to work for a couple more days. Then the same issue with the DVR not recording and not able to tune channel. The HD Home run software can tune and view the channels with no problem.

With the latest update (1.21.0.3616) LIve TV and DVR does not work at all. I have taken the suggestions above and downgraded to 1.19.5.3112 and it is working so far

Please let me know what happens when using 1.21.1.3876 - and fresh logs please if issue persists
