In this test system, I set up ghost hunter and numbers to record off of CBS
HD. When I went to go check my recordings I noticed there weren't any on my
extender. So I walked back to the media center PC, for starters as usual the
HD was being absolutly slammed even though the computer wasn't doing
anything at all. Secondly I noticed a media center notification in the task
bar that told me it failed to record shows... Ok, so I click, read through
help and it tells me how to go about finding out what the issue was.

I go to recorded shows, up to history, then I click on the shows that were
supposed to have recorded, and it says "Tuner Failure, no other tuners
available." Huh, that's odd... So I click out of recorded TV, and over to
live to see what I get on the channel it's supposed to record on (1051
raleigh). Low and behold, tuner starts right up, and there's Craig
Ferguison. Fustration, super fustration. So I would love to figure out
what's up, so hopefully I can get my OTA HD shows recorded onto media center
where I can archive to DVD (HD source looks fab. recorded to DVD then
upscaled back actually!).

The tuner I have is an ArtecMedia T14A
(http://www.artec.com.tw/ehtm/products/t14a.htm), this is a USB 2.0 tuner
card. So I'm wondering, is there any sort of known issue with using a USB
tuner to try and power a full fledged media center? Is there anything I can
investigate that might help out?

Thanks very much for any idea's,
