My Post in another Thread, in case it helps someone else:
I had the exact same issues (see my previous post), it took my awhile to figure out how to get my tuners back. Basically what has happened is when Plex removed the inbuilt EPG it stuffed our DVR settings giving the “Unable to load DVRs” msg. The reason you can’t add your tuners back is because they are actually already added, you just can’t load them. If you plugged in a brand new tuner right now, I am sure you would be able to add it.
So the key is to remove your previous tuners… but how can you do that when the DVR settings don’t load you ask… The key is to close Plex Media Server (PMS) wait 60sec then start PMS again. Once you start PMS quickly go to your DVR settings, you have a short time while the tuners will actually load (I assume this is before our missing EPG craps it out).
Here is where I was able to hit the X button on one of my tuners and successfully remove it. I was then able to search and add the tuner I successfully removed, but not my other tuner… My DVR settings were still completely stuffed even trying to add this tuner and XMLTV guide. I still needed to remove my other tuner, but there was no X for this tuner as it was the last one. So the last trick was to click ‘Delete DVR’ (top right) quickly after PMS loads fresh otherwise this setting doesn’t show. This completely removed all my tuners/DVR settings and I was fine from here. I assume removing the tuner first wasn’t necessary, deleting the whole DVR setup was the key.
Yes Plex should still fix this issue, but try this work around. Took me a few goes as sometimes it still craps out before you get a chance to remove them. Be quick!
