Server Version#: Version 1.22.2.4282

Player Version#:  
Tuner Make/Model: HDhomerun Connect Duo  
Guide/Lineup name: Local Broadcast Listings  
Using XMLTV?: no  
Channel number/Name: all

Please help.  
Before the Guide source changed my DVR worked very well. Now nothing records properly. Also when I watch live TV using the guide it plays for about 10 minutes and then freezes.

Have you recreated your scheduled recordings after the switchover to the new EPG provider at the end of 2021 ?

See first post in this thread [Live TV EPG - The update you’ve been waiting for](https://forums.plex.tv/t/live-tv-epg-the-update-you-ve-been-waiting-for/660738/1)

If you have recreated the schedule but recordings still fail - please run with debug logging enabled and capture logs for when the issue arises

Thanks for your reply.  
Last night I updated the firmware on my HD homerun (FIY I had to download it from the website and manually install on the device even though it’s set to auto update). After this I tried a recording and it worked!

I have more recordings scheduled over the next few days so I would like to keep this open with you until I get a few more successful recordings.  
Thanks again,  
Mark

Hi - yes I recreated my scheduled recordings after the switchover to the new EPG provider at the end of 2020 (several times).
