[mythtv-users] Trouble with HDHOMERUN drivers

Tue Apr 16 16:09:16 UTC 2019

OK here's something.  I took your good suggestion to record a second show
at the same time as Ellen.  I found a channel that is available on the
antenna but not cable.  When I set it to single-record on the program
guide, it said the recorder is offline.  Yet I checked again and I could
watch live TV on the antenna source.  Anyone have ideas about what could
cause this?  Maybe the missing drivers from HDHomerun?
