RE: HELP: Tuner not available

HEllo,

Have you found a resolution to this? I am having the same issue. I also
have Angel TV tuner. The timeframe of your issues seem to match what I am
experiencing. THanks!

We are getting the same intermittent error messages. Its happened approx
four times since Jan 26th. I would have a more accurate count, except that
event log is set by default to overwrite logs every seven days or after 512KB.

Application Event shows the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2/2/2006 Source: Media Center Receiver
Time: 7:28:02 PM Category: None
Type: Error Event ID: 3
User: N/A

Description:
TV tuner encountered an error. (0xc0040524) Angel TvTuner

for more information, see Help and Support Center at

-------------------------------------------------------------
But, there is no additional info at the Help and Support Center.

I've also noticed the "disk error" msg flash very briefly in the bottom left
hand
corner of the MCE Live TV screen, then the Tuner Not Available...msg appears
like
everyone else has noted in this thread.

System (from Dell) is less than two months old and has all
of the latest Windows and MCE 2005 patches.

We were also experiencing the problems noted in the post in this forum
entitled
"Second Tuner Unavailable while Recording??". Not sure if these two issues
are related or not, but with a second tuner we should be at least able to
record on one and watch on the other simultaneously, right?

I have been having the same problem since update 2. Even worse, sometimes I
get the message and sometimes it works. Mostly the message. I am using ati
hdtv and ati wonder elite and 9600 pro.
Someone please give some help on this. I have loaded the latest drivers and
that is not the solution.

All of a sudden when I try to watch live tv or record tv (scheduled) I get
this error:

Tuner Not Available
The tuner is currently in use by another appliation or is not working.
Please close all other appliations, restart Media Center, and then try
again.

It was working before and I haven't installed anything new. Any ideas?
I've since rebooted, but to no avail....

Thanks!
