Two HDHomeRun PRIME Units: 6 Tuners but Plex will only use 3 of them

Live TV & DVR

Server Version#: 1.40.4.8679
Tuner Make/Model: SiliconDust HD HomeRun Prime

Hi Guys. I have had this problem for years and I just have not been able to solve it. I have a Plex server running on my Synology NAS. I have 2 HD HomeRun PRIME units each with its own activated cable card. These HomeRun PRIMEs are both in Plex with the same channels activated. In the Live TV & DVR section in Plex, they both show up normally with 3 tuners available from each HDHomeRun PRIME totaling 6 available tuners. I know that the tuners from each of them work fine through Plex because I have unplugged one unit at a time to prove that I can stream from each of them through Plex.

My issue is that when I am recording 3 channels at the same time and I try to watch a 4th channel, Plex tells me that I have no available tuners left and asks me to stop recording one of the other 3 things I have recording. It seems like although Plex can see all 6 of my tuners, it thinks I only have 3 tuners available. How do I get Plex to use all 6 of my tuners which are spread across 2 HDHomeRun PRIME devices?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Maybe the problem is specific to the Synology? Using Plex, on my windows machine, it has no problem accessing my twelve tuners concurrently, from my four Primes.
