Channel Changes to Record When Tuners Are Available

Hey Everyone! Longtime lurker first time poster.

I have had this issue for years, but I recently updated to a Windows 10 Machine, WMC 8.8.5, and a WinTV Quad Tuner and hoped it would go away, but it didn't.

Whenever a scheduled recording takes place, it switches my liveTV to that channel even though there are other tuners available.

Any ideas why WMC does this?

Check that all four tuners are checked if you go into the edit sources sub menu for a channel that happens on. e.g. if watching channel 4 and it switches to 7 to record, make sure the sources for 7 have all the tuners checked.

All 4 tuners are checked off for all channels. I thought this could have something to do with tuner priority, but I have played around with that in the past with no luck.

The saga continues.
