After increasing tuning timeout with no results. I waited until the 
failed program had ended on the network and proceeded with a new show on 
the same network.

Using a Shield TV frontend to my production backend, I used Watch TV to 
look at all channels successfully including the one that I was having 
problems with.

Next I started recording the program on that channel and it failed 
again. (again tuner is Hauppauge WinTV Quad PCIe card)

Using a v30 RP4 backend and HDHR tuner the recording worked

Using a V31 development system with HDHR the recording worked.

So what is it that could cause failure only on recording of only one 
channel but not effect Live TV on that channel??
