Server Version#: 1.23.6.4881  
Player Version#: Web App  
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomerun Connect and Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2210 (DVB-T)  
Guide/Lineup name: N/A  
Using XMLTV?: No  
Channel number/Name: Any

As indicated above I have two dual tuners. I am unable to record or view more than two channels and it only utilises the first tuner (HVR-2210). Whenever I try to record or view more than two channels the pop-up window “All Tuners are Currently in Use” displays.

Under the Live TV & DVR settings tab I have deleted my DVR completely and re-installed several times and nothing has changed. I have confirmed by the coloured side bars under the My Channels list in the same tab that all the channels are allocated to both my Tuner devices.

Any suggestions on how to utilise both my tuners so I can record and watch up to 4 channels?
