ok thanks

One more thing I didn't think of. If you think you have setup the tuners correctly you could also try tuning to a channel and checking the tuner status on the hdhr web page to see if wmc is talking to your prime. I think the decoders are also stored in the registry so maybe you could attempt to fix that problem via reg merges as well.

You said you ran the Digital cable advisor and passed right? If so, have you tried the digital cable advisor override?

I'll investigate a little more. https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=10080. Basically it looks like you have to find a way to enter that key or make wmc think it's been activated

Did you download and use use the exact registry keys I hosted on that file share? Can you share your hdhomerun setup files with me? Did you run those commands on the siliconddust web site to finally get things working? Thanks

I'm also having issues with No Tuners available. My PC is running Win 10 1903 with WMC 8.8.3 and HDHomerun Connect Duo tuners (2 of them). I made sure Network Discovery is turned on, I verified that the services listed in the HDHR were started. Win 10 see's both tuners in the Network window and the HDHR tuner setup completed and can scan channels. I even reinstalled an old Hauppage 2250 PCIe tuner card to see if I could run setup, but still get the error in WMC. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to run the 8.7-8.8 quick fix or Settings Registry edit commands in the 8.8.3 folder?

Update: I ended up doing a clean reinstall of 1809 and my tuners were recognized by WMC 8.8.3. Not sure what program or setting was blocking this. Glad to be up and running with WMC again!
