Tuner conflict
Been trying to find a fix, but not got this sorted.
I have 2 tbs tuner cards, 4 * dvb-s2 and 4 * dvb-t2.
I am however experiencing the "tuner conflict" message, but nothing was being viewed or recorded when i selected the channel. It says to select a tuner to disable, but none are listed. The only thing that fixes it is to turn the pc off and on again, but this is not a good option.
It's not all the time, but it's starting to get more frequent.
I have no extenders, the drivers are the latest from tbs site.
Any ideas?

Check the signal. I had the same problem with my Ceton tuner because of a weak cable signal.

cheers for the advice, but it's not a network tuner, these are internal dvb-s2 and dvb-t2 (ota and satellite) cards.
I get full green bars when tuning/scanning but to be sure I reseated the cables. still same issue.
A reboot generally fixes it, but that is not acceptable when trying to watch tv with someone.

What happens if you remove one of the cards? Have you tried updating the drivers?

thanks for help. drivers were latest already, however i tried disabling the dvb-t card and oddly it was fine. pc was on for 28 hours without any conflicts.
then enabled the dvb-t card but disabled dvb-s. that was fine, on about 5 hours and had no conflicts.
enabled both devices and rebooted but got the conflict message after a while again (few hours i think).
so, what the heck is this? having the 2 cards enabled is causing the issues, but why?

My TBS 6981 started acting up recently, eventually one tuner died. Was crashing my Intel graphics, just sent it back for a replacement. May well put it on eBay and try the Tevii one when/if I get a replacement...
Drivers being unsigned was my issue I think, tech support says they are. I have two systems that say otherwise!

Can you look for an event (at roughly the same time) in your Application event log with a source of Application Error and an ID of 1000. The text of the error should mention ehrecvr.
