On mine, if I reboot and go to the tvheadend web front-end, and go to Configuration->DVB Adapters->Select an adapter->Multiplexes, then I can see that the listed MUXs (5 for me) have decent signal Quality, but after a period of time, Quality drops slowly to 0%. I can watch & record TV while they're not 0%, but if they hit 0%, it starts giving errors.
Using tzap from the command line prompt still tunes & records from the same tuner though.
Deleting the MUXs and re-adding them seems to work - sometimes - for a bit...
I've had this issue, and a reboot seems to fix it everytime. This was with a Kworld DVBt card.
Moved to Hauppague Nova-TD 500 and the issues gone. Think this is chipset/driver related.
BTW - I'm a n00b here, and have found the xbmc forum invaluable - so thanks very much!!
On another note... I think the Winterhill Mux info included with TVheadend is out of date since the turn off of the analogue transmitters - can't get BBC 1,2 or 3. Apparently they are on a new Mux.
Mythbackend picks up on them, so the cards ok - but I don't like myth, and was wondering if there's anywhere where the new info can be retrieved.
I've looked over for the frequencies - or info about new TVheadend Mux info but can't find it. Apologies if I'm in the wrong thread - but thought this would be a good place to start.
EDIT: Scratch that - had to open my big mouth - jsut lost signal on all Muxes. Altho this card did seem to hold them for longer
