Unable to Tune any Channels on LiveTV or DVR

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252
Player Version#: Current iOS, Web, and Roku
Tuner Make/Model: HDHR3US
Guide/Lineup name: Broadcast TV Portland OTA Broadcast
Using XMLTV?: No
Channel number/Name: All
OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard 1809
CPU: Xeon E5-2420v2

I can’t tune any channels. Confirmed with the HDHR app on my iPad that the tuner is working and signal strength is good for most channels but when I try to start live TV on any of my players I get an error stating “Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna.” I have removed and added back the tuner a few times and this issue has been going on through at least two PMS updates. From the logs, it looks like it is trying to connect to a local (PCI/USB) tuner device but the HDHR3 is on the network.

Here’s what I see in my logs each time I try to play something:

Thank you in advance for any help,

Edit: I saw another post where they mentioned this being related to the Plex tuner service having a problem. It does look like it is starting then stopping again but there are no errors or indication why
