Exclamation HDHomeRun (non-Prime) and release 20110925a appears to break Sage

I'm testing it again, but it appears to have broken Sage's ability to tune the HDHR. So hold off for a bit. Of course I'm screwed for the moment.

and just so you know. I was installing the updates for this new Prime I bought, not the old HDHR. And the Prime I'm having issues with because of cablecard activation problems, so its a doorstop and now neither work.

Got it to work, but I had to strip out all previous entries to HDHR's that were in the Sage.properties file first. Been a while since I had to do that.

I have installed HDHR updates with relatively little concern for breaking anything. However, I suppose since Sage can't fix anything on their end anymore, I ought to be a little more cautious about any updates.

Can you explain how to do this? I tried to talk someone through configuring a new HDHR3-US over the phone and each time Sagetv would see both tuners yet find no channels on scanning. He had no issues with channel scan with MCE.

I assume he can see channels fine through the HDHR tools, Setup and Config? He has to run a channel scan first through Setup and then click "OK". This produces .scn files for both tuners that SageTV needs for its channel scan.

To remove the tuners from Sage, if they're there, in the Sage.properties file you'll need to look for all instances of the HDHR device ID, which will look something like "131026F2-0". For the HDHR3 there will be two. they will be under the "mmc/encoders/" section of the file. Like this:

mmc/encoders/-2015054143/video_capture_device_name=Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 10103B84-0
mmc/encoders/-2015054143/video_capture_device_num=0
mmc/encoders/-2015054143/video_encoding_params=Great
mmc/encoders/-2015054143/video_processor=
...

You'll want remove all the lines with the same encoder ID (in this instance 2015054143) for that tuner.

Make sure the SageTV server is not running when doing this!
