TVs not sharing tuners

[JackTV]

I have an HDHomeRun Flex Quattro model HDFX-4US with a 500 gb usb hd attached. Firmware 20261107. My TVs use Google TV Streamer or Chromecast with Google TV. FWIW, all streaming devices are Ethernet.

The tuner sharing is intermittent. If I power cycle the tuner, it works for a while, but then TVs will start grabbing their own tuners.

I haven’t tested this enough to know if it matters, but I’ve tried force stopping the HDHomeRun app on all streamers and also clearing cache.

Tuner sharing seems to work for a while, then it doesn’t. I haven’t found a pattern yet.

Thanks

Tuner sharing works for exactly 2 uses of the same channel, either 2 live TV, 2 recording (overlapping recordings), or 1 live TV and 1 recording. If you try to use a third it will automatically move to another tuner.
