Running MC 23 on a Win 10 machine using an HDHomerun tuner.
MC operates fine when first installed, but after turning PC off and on again MC 23 can't find the tuner.
Other programs can see and use the tuner(s).
Reinstalling MC 23 restores the connection. it is then lost when the machine is turned off.
Am I missing some setting which will eliminate having to reinstall the program every time the PC is turned on?
Using MC 22 has begun the same behavior.

Is that a HDHomerun Prime tuner?
If so, MC can take a little while to "find" a network tuner such as that. Have you tried waiting a couple of minutes to see if it reappears?
Also, if this has started happening in MC22 as well as MC23 now, then that would point to something changing in your environment or setup. Change router? Installed other software that uses a tuner?
Have you tried letting the PC sleep instead of turning it off?

I've got HDHR DVB-T tuners and can't recall ever having this kind of problem with all things connected:
- Power
- Antenna
- Network Cable
They haven't updated the soft/firmware in about 9 months but it wouldn't hurt to confirm that you've got the latest. A reinstall might not hurt anyway to ensure that firewall settings aren't an issue.
If you're still struggling, set MC up for logging and reboot. Collect the log and get Yaobing to take a look.

And now disappearing HDHRP has already happened to me in MC23 once. This is with MC running for more than a few hours - noticed recordings that were supposed to start using HDHRP ended up using Ceton. Checked MC Status and HDHRP were completely gone. Rebooting HDHRP did not help. Had to wait for a later time when no recordings were in progress and restart MC and MC Server service so all tuners would show up.

I use an HDHomerun Connect (DVB-T with twin tuners) with MC22 and 23. Never had any issue with MC finding the hardware and it works really well.
Have you set your router to allocate a fixed ip to the device? If not it may be that its being allocated different ips and making life difficult for MC.
You cant set a static ip on the device, but you can reserve one on your router.

It is a HDHomeRun Prime tuner
Waiting a few moments to retry results in a proper connection.
There had been no additions to the machine nor changes to software.
SO MC23 is working properly. Thanks.
Tried reloading MS22 and it cannot find tuners.

CableCARD tuners require some waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately sometimes wait can be long. If the wait is longer than a couple of minutes, restarting MC might help. These devices use UDP broadcast to advertise their existence. If we miss the signal somehow, we have to wait for the next round of broadcast.
There is another issue that sometimes happen with HDHRP tuners. MC would detect the tuners, but say they are "not available". That is caused by the device not being properly released by clients (including MC), for example due to MC crash. In that case you should power-cycle HDHRP.

There are a couple of similar reports in this thread at AVSforum:
