<blockquote type="cite">Hi,
<br>
<br>
I have two HDHomeRun tuner boxes (a dual and another quattro)
and I suspect one of them is broken. I strongly feel it is the
quatrro, but for now, I am going to assume that anyone of them
could be broken because the only evidence I have is that some
shows turn out to be 0B recordings. I have already power cycled
and tested with hdhomerun control/config app on win10. They seem
to work fine when watching live TV in myth also. However one of
the boxes very often produces 0 bytes recording. I would like
to record the same show on of both my tuner boxes at the same
time to check if this is a transmission issue or tuner issue. My
antenna is brand new and I doubt it is at fault.
<br>
<br>
Both units are several years old, so it could be that their
adapter is broken. If so, my app on windows should create
problem or attempting to watch live TV should produce errors,
but I do not get any of those. So, I have not tried fixing
adapters
<br>
<br>
Also, when I added my second HDhomerun unit (quattro) when I
bought it, strangely enough, I got 8 tuners instead of 4. So, I
am not sure if something is wrong with backend setup of this
tuner.
<br>
<br>
I run standard debian 11.6 with default kernel adding mythtv
0.32-fixes using debian-multimedia repository. I have a gt1030
nvdia card, but that is unlikely to be relevant as this is a
recording issue.
<br>
<br>
Recording that produces 0B is coming on digital channel 18
(Dallas/KTXA-DT 21.1)
<br>
<br>

Having double the number of physical tuners is normal. MythTV
allows simultaneous recording of multiple sub-channels of a single
channel using a single tuner. It implements this feature with
virtual tuners.

Thanks. That makes sense.<br>

Check to make sure that the channel MythTV is recording on is the
one you think it is recording on, and not some other channel that
has the same show in its schedule.
<br>
</blockquote>
What do you mean? The recorded time matches. As per my quick check,
I do not see the same show at the same time in any other channel.
However, I like to check from the database. How do I check this to
be absolutely sure?<br>

Is one of your tuners one of the original HDHomeRun tuners with
the two inputs? If so, you need a splitter to feed both inputs the
same signal. At one time, you could have a different signal on
each input and set them up independently, but MythTV discontinued
this feature, and it assumes all tuners in a box have the same
signal.
<br>
</blockquote>
Yes, it is the original and it is connected to two different outputs
of the same signal amplifier that is connected to antenna. <br>
<br>
Most of the recordings are from this 2-tuner box and they are fine.
So, I doubt it is this box. I could potentially switch all shows to
my second hdhomerun, but reluctant to do this as I might loose
entire day's recording to 0B issue.<br>
