I think my PCIe 6 just took a dump

Over the past week it has had increased difficulty tuning channels. So I contacted Ceton and they gave me the standard response with the patches and power settings. Then had me enable logging from a command prompt and told me to stop and start the tuner service (which got stuck in the stopping process).

Now it will work for about 30 seconds and stops. WMC a couple of minutes later says "No available tuners".

Any suggestions?

The only thing that's strange is it appears to record programs fine. I just can't watch live TV. Now I'm confused....

Have you tried re-running TV setup? It sounds to me like either ehrecvr is crashing or WMC is confused about a tuner.

I actually completely powered down (flipping the toggle switch on the power supply) and rebooted. All has been stable since.

This seems to be a daily occurrence now. Yesterday even a complete power down didn't bring it back. Ceton says it's Windows doing it. IDK.... It finally came back after 3 reboots.
