The above error can be cause by a poor ethernet connection. You should make sure the ethernet cable is pushed all the way into the HDHR. I found that there seems to be a lot of play in that connection and I now use rubber bands to hold the cable all the way in.
Do you get any good recordings from the HDHR?

It is indeed the HDHR. It is showing every channel fine in the HDHR Channel Lineup but nothing in Sage.
I even uninstalled the HDHR software and Sage, removed the Sage folder and installed again into a fresh directory.
Sage still shows "NO SIGNAL" for all 7 enabled QAM channels.
Not sure where to go from here...

Has the HDHR ever worked properly? If so, when did it break? Have you used the Sage channel scan on the HDHR tuners? What software version are you using for both Sage and the HDHR software?

Yes the HDHR was working perfectly. I am using SageTV 6.4.8 and uninstalled the HDHR software and downloaded the latest HDHR. Ver 20081002...
The HDHR channel lineup software will let me view all my channels fine. It is just Sage that will not tune them. I have the channels mapped correctly in the HDHR software. I know this because I did not change them from when it was working in Sage.

I think this may be the cause of your problem. Go into the Channel setup and run the channel scan for both HDHR tuners. The scan should update/create a "siliconDust...QAM.frq" file for each tuner in the SageTV directory. Then try watching something live using the HDHR tuners to see if the channels are working correctly.

I have tried that. I meant that from when the HDHR's were working to when they stopped working in Sage I did not change anythiing but in troubleshooting I deleted Sage, physically deleted the folder, uninstalled HDHR software, reinstalled Sage,reinstalled HDHR software, did a channel scan in HDHR(The lineup was still there from my last scan even though I uninstalled it), scanned in Sage and found no channels.

Did you have a previous version of the HDHR software working prior to this and you updated or you had this latest version working at one time. It sounds like you updated to the latest version but have some previous files left over messing you up. I also posted in your new thread.
