Two WMCs will not display the same channel - HDHomeRun app and TV will
I recently moved and am deploying my WMC setups to collect OTA HDTV in College Station, TX. One is using a HDHomeRun the other has 2 HVR-2250 Cards.
I cleared out the old channels/guide on one WMCs, and the other is a new setup. Did Live-TV setup on both WMC, and they both configure and are able to successfully display the OTA stations in the area, EXCEPT one. Station 23 KAGS-LD has 23.1, 23.2, 23.3 and 23.4. WMC shows green on both the HDHomeRun WMC and the HVR-2250 WMC. If I use a TV or the HDHomeRun Config GUI I can get the channel.
If I use the HDHomeRun GUI I can see the WMC change channels on the HDHomeRun. When 23.1 is selected, the signal/quality/symbol strength/quality are all green. but WMC show service is unavailable. If I click view on the HDHomeRun GUI that is showing the channel selected by WMC it will show the channel on the HDHomeRun app (after overriding the busy tuner).
I found posts of similar issues where hitting record would activate the channel. This does not work for me.
I found posts of similar issues that could be traced to WMC having multiple possible sources for the given channel in the guide. Task->Settings->TV->Guide->Edit Channels->23.1->Edit Source Shows 2 entries; one for each HDHomeRun Tuner: Both show channel 23.1 with 100% quality. So this does not work for me.
Can anyone out there help get me pointed in the right direction on getting WMC to display 23.1?
Thanks in advance.
