Title: wmc tuner conflict with hdhomerun prime [Solved]
Post by: russelms on November 15, 2015, 07:38:02 pm

Hello,

I cannot figure out how to disable WMC from blocking tuners use in MC 21?

I have a HDHomerun Prime w/o cable card installed which receives the ClearQAM OTA stations through the Coax - think OTA stations just rebroadcast by Time Warner Through the coax.

When ever I try to watch a station MC tries a few times and returns tuners not available. My guess this is WMC blocking it from accessing the tuners.

I cannot uninstall or fully disable WMC permanently since it is what is used by my wife and via 2 XBox 360 extenders in our home. Trying out MC 21 as possible forhcoming copy-once kickstarter has me interested.

In MC options, try:

Theater View > General > Disable WMC

You can search the options with the window at the bottom.

just confirming your recommendation worked after a restart.

Thanks!
