    Sound Breaks Up When Recording One Channel


    I recently installed two HD HomeRun Dual TV tuners that connect to my Wi-Fi router and use WMC to record programs and watch them later. It works well on all channels except one. I can receive that channel just fine directly on my TV (the same antenna feeds the tuners and the TV) and I can watch that channel on my computer when using HD HomeRun's viewing software but, when I try to record anything on that one channel with WMC, the video comes through just fine but the sound is completely broken up. Any guesses why?

    Even the cricket has gone now. Died of old age, I guess.

    Try swamping the two antenna connections around. Double check you have not got something strange selected in the audio mode on that station for example SAP or the wrong Digital audio channel. Check you have the sound set to Stereo. What is the channel? Check the signal strength and if digital the errors. Sometimes having a strong signal full of errors is worse than a weak signal which is error free.Have you emailed them to determine if there is a problem with their equipment?

    I read your post a long time ago and didn't post for one reason.
    I have never used a T.V. tuner and have no idea how to help you.

    Thanks, Tony. I'm reasonably certain it is a problem with WMC, not the tuners. I had the problem when just using one dual tuner so the antenna connection isn't the problem. Both when using just one dual tuner and when using two, I could use the tuner manufacturer's TV viewing software to watch that channel (45.2 in the Phoenix, AZ area) without any problems (still can). It's only WMC that has the audio breakup problem, both when watching live TV through it and when watching a recording.

    Sound is set to Stereo.

    I don't have a way to check signal strength.

    Thanks for responding, Jack. I have no doubt you would have helped if you could have, Jack. You didn't get all that rep by not being helpful. I realize there are going to problems that no one can solve. My comments were just using humor to bump the thread in a less boring way than simply typing "bump" and to defuse my frustration. The last post was more just my wacky way of saying I had given up.

    You can check the signal strenght in WMC by going to Settings, TV, Set up your TV Signal.........For best signal you should have all green bars. Also is it mountainous where you live? Could you accidentally be on a repeater relay or booster station rather then the main station. I helped someone in Virginia who was picking up a relay station on an island off the coast rather then the main station. I am familier with that issue myself as one of our local stations CW is on real Ch9 but shows CH8. They also have a UHF booster on Ch17 which also shows CH8. I get both on my outdoor aerial. UHF is weaker and goes up and down and breaks up in bad weather and the Ch9 main signal does not. Apparently the booster relay is for parts of Indianapolis where the Ch9 signal is very poor, a hilly part near the station masts and not meant for me at all.
