Windows: Rapid LiveTV Stutter When a New Program Begins

[millerbrad]

Tuning ATSC OTA LiveTV on my Windows 10 PC with HDHR tuners. So far I'm loving Sage, but I have run into a rather odd bug.

When a program ends, and the next program starts, LiveTV playback will suddenly start stuttering very rapidly. It almost sounds like a poorly implemented slow motion effect, giving all of the characters creepy robot voices. It goes back to normal if I stop playback and restart LiveTV on that channel.

(On a related note, should questions like this go here regarding issues with Sage9 Open Source, or should they be in the SageTV Software forum)

So, I made a couple setting changes that appear to have fixed this issue.

1) Fixed my HDHomeRun driver setup so it's configured for SageTV and not MediaPortal. (doh!)
2) Disabled the advanced option to tune the channel for each new program (it's enabled by default).

As long as you are only using OTA you should be good but not tuning could cause problems where you have to change the channel on a satellite box - if only to wake up boxes that shut down after a period of inactivity. That wouldn't affect live TV but could affect recording two shows on the same channel but many hours apart.
