i have updated and scanned channels through hdhome run setup page through windows. i started with 1 and added another seem to be fine on previous versions of plex for many months and years. i recently added two more and with the .12 version and latest they dont load or configure correctly. it see’s the channels coming from the already scanned side of hd home run but not linking or activating them on additional tuners. can occasionally get two to sync correctly but the last two never do unless by manually adding of all 572+ channels and doesnt matter which ones they are, tried different combos they just dont load or sync. also even though guide data has already loaded for one tuner with all channels anytime the other tuners are changed it has to resync the guide all over again with the same info.by the time i try to get all four tuners, the guides reloaded 50+ times. had tuners available and not fully recording but saying they did as well as not recording at all as well. is there a way we can setup and configure all at once instead of individually and or all identical as well? to me if there all the same type of device they should all be cloned the same with same setup and channel listings across them all.
also does the recording schedule see that the possibility of 1 tuner having all channels and the other 3 have limited so it shifts the majority over to the 3 for the most common recordings for the channels setup and leaves the other tuner for the all the other channels if necessary?
case in point most the shows i dvr are on channels 1-13 with the rest being outside that channel for a few. so does it know to record the 1-13 channels with the 3 that have only those channels setup and use the other tuner for the rest?
KING OF THE HILL FAILED TO RECORD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHANNEL 718 SETUP ON ALL FOUR hd home run prime TUNERS. two recordings were recording on tuners 1,4 which left 10 available to record. nothing live streaming or anything else. only thing i can think of is it was right when i couldve possibly been adding more shows to record and some how mixed up the scheduler and caused to error. these areas should be separate compartments of the overall dvr process. the guide data should pull based on antenna,cable type and area code only. tuner devices setup and configured separately and if have different types then setup one by one. if you setup up one and have another it should mirror or clone the first and so on. yes the tuners have to know the guide and channels together to function but each one shouldnt effect the others functioning or cause one or the other to fail either way. once the guide is pulled and 1 tuner is setup and configured it should be able to add more tuners, change channel setups and add or remove recorded shows without havening to go through all the areas and reload everything all over again.
mines doing the same thing. have nine recordings stuck in limbo. if we reboot they erase.

the entire epg had to reloaded as well after proces restart
turned on transcode per other thread and testing we’ll see what happens
CRASHED AGAIN today have beofer and after logs as well as loaded new 1.13 version for trials. so far everything listed before still same scenario on tuner setup and loading etc waiting on tuner epg guide refreshing and recordings to reingage to see what happens.
only 1 tuner this morning locked up and few shows but still had issues on new version
Per discussion on
i had it off originally on version 12. installed version 13 and turned the transcode on it pegged my cpu to the max with the amount of tuners i have on the systems and there priorities etc. so turned it back off. also have more detailed info on my discussion at
the files are in code in the grab folder. removing the tuner lets the butler move them and finish them far as i can tell only tried it once though.
deleting tuner removes the entries from the scheduling window log but the jobs still remain in the grab folder. but there is no folder contents under them.
after refreshing awhile later the empty grab folders remain but now the shows reappeared in the scheduled window as completed.
if its not the tuners locking up its the guide refreshing. if its not any of those then its shows completing two hours early or not recording at all. what is up with this dvr system?
still missing shows. lock ups hasnt happened but also seem to be not using all available tuners.
still having guide butler and tuner issues. as well as other previous and recently reported issues still have yet been responded to by plex people.
plex having issues with recordings all over the place even though has 12 tuners available mainly married with children and the office and others.
any news on the issues
LATEST VERSION OF PLEX TUNERS locked up and not dvring correctly
