My issue is the same issue that others have posted about. Plex Live TV does not release tuners when changing the channel.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Tune to a channel
- Tune to a second channel
- Tune to a third channel, receive error:
Playback Error
Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna.

Here is what the tuner log looks like when changing channels using emby:

Clearly, Plex is not releasing the tuner when changing channels. In one of the related threads below, a Plex representative said this behavior is by design. However, this design makes it impossible to freely change channels. Is there a way to disable this behavior?
