HDHomerun Prime Issue With One Channel

I'm having a strange problem with my SageTV 7 setup with 2 HDHomerun Primes. I have Verizon FIOS and SageTV has been working pretty much flawlessly with the HDHomeruns. But I'm experiencing a problem that started recently with just one channel. The Military History Channel will not tune. If I go to that channel, the HDHomerun tries and tries to tune but the channel never comes on. I checked the cablecard status for the channel and confirmed the CCI Protection is unrestricted (flag is not set to copy once; it's the same as all the other channels). The weird part is that if I use the HDHomerun Config Utility that comes with the HDHomerun and view it with the utilities QuickTV viewer the channel appears. The utility shows the Signal Strength and Quaility are 97% and Symbol Quality is 100%. What's really odd is that after doing this, that tuner then displays the channel fine on SageTV. However when Sage tries to tune that channel on another of the Homerun tuners it fails again, unless I view it first in the QuickTV viewer. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? Thanks in advance.

Are you using SAGDCT with FFMPEG capture?. If not you need to.

I'm not sure if I am or not. But every other FIOS channel works fine except this one.

I'm also seeing this in the sagetv_0.txt file and it seems I'm only getting these messages for this one channel that won't tune:

I had a few channels that couldn't tune ... using SAGDCT FFMPEG capture mode fixed them.

Installing the latest SageDCT and using FFMPEG capture did the trick. Works perfectly now. Thanks so much nyplayer!
