[mythtv-users] Can't watch live TV with HDHomeRun Prime

[Darren Richards]

I just received my HDHomeRun Prime.  I think I have everything set up
correctly.  I'm able to record scheduled programs, but I cannot watch live
TV.  The screen just flashes for a moment and then returns to the menu. I'd
greatly appreciate any help.  I have fixes/0.25 (v0.25-111-geb1d4a7)
installed.  Also, it might be relevant to mention I have the latest beta
firmware installed on the HDHomeRun Prime (20120524beta1).  Apparently it's
impossible to roll that back... :/  I've deleted and reconfigured the cards
and channel lineups half a dozen times.  I have a regular dual tuner HDHR
that works just fine (and has for years).

Here is the relevant portion of the frontend log:

livetvchain.cpp:277 (GetEntryAt) It appears that your backend may be
misconfigured.  Check your backend logs to determine whether your capture
cards, lineups, channels, or storage configuration are reporting errors.
 This issue is commonly caused by failing to complete all setup steps
properly.  You may wish to review the documentation for mythtv-setup.

Jun  2 01:06:44 mythbox mythbackend[22009]: I TVRecEvent tv_rec.cpp:1014
(HandleStateChange) TVRec(1): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None

I think the key lies in the "Unknown tuner type" in the backend log, but
I'm not sure what to do about that.

thanks!
