@gunnersboy did you ever try downgrading to 1.41.6.9685? Cause that’s the version I’m on and it’s still happening for me. What’s weird is that I haven’t updated in a long while but I feel like this live tv issue started recently.

Yes, downgraded to 1.41.6 and I no longer have the issue. Have disabled automatic updates and after manually upgrading to the latest release and then the beta the issue appeared again. So I’ve downgraded and will remain until a fix comes and out.

Are you completely sure it’s not a client issue? Have you blocked updated of those too or are you on latest?

I don’t watch OTA on my Shield. All devices that stream OTA are on the latest version and the issue only happens when I make changes to the Shield. It’s definitely a PMS issue rather than client based as it also happens when recording TV without even watching the channel.
