I'm using networked tuners, HD Homerun and HD Prime, and I've noticed on both the cable and OTA side that when the system attempts to access a tuner the green light comes on momentarily then goes off. Is the likely culprit the "NetworkManager-wait-online. service" and if so would someone be so kind and to point me in the right direction to solve the problem. Thanks,

I don't know what is going on here but these messages are impossible to read. There is no threading 
and I cannot tell which order they are, since some replies are at the top and some at the bottom.

Please ensure that you set the correct options in your mail program. Don't complain about gmail, 
even for that it is possible to do what is preferred here.

In addition, it is customary to truncate the signature from previous replies. We don't need three 
sets of mailing list links!
