Server Version#: 4.47.3  
HDHomerun

Ever since I upgraded to Big Sur, I am unable to watch live TV. I get the H3 Decode Error or the stream just stops without any error. Stream is pixelated and stops a few seconds into watching. I am using an HDHomerun which was working relatively fine before the upgrade (worked fine on all my TV devices…Samsung TVs, appleTVs). Running on a 2018 Mac Mini. Live TV works just fine using the HD Homerun App.
