This can happen if a scheduled recording hi-jacks your tuner. </blockquote><div><br><br>I'm not sure "hi-jack" is the right word since the scheduled recording was there first. I came along once the recording was already taking place and tried to watch livetv.<br>

in and switch directly to that channel, they just don't show up in<br> browse mode. </blockquote><div><br>I just tested this. I have 2 tuners (I have a Hauppage Nova-T 500) but if there's already a recording taking place I can only view channels on the same multiplex. This is true whether I browse or type the channel number. Typing an "unavailable" channel number has no effect.<br>
<br>The only way I've found to view a channel on another multiplex is to start recording it and view the recording.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
All the channels show up in the EPG however and the ones<br> you can't currently tuner are marked. (I believe the marking depends on<br> the theme you are using.)</blockquote><div><br><br>I just tried all the default themes - Blue, G.A.N.T., Iulius, Minimalist, Mythcenter, Retro and Titivillus - in none of them could I see any difference between the available and unavailable channels in the program guide. What specifically am I looking for?<br>
