    Only recording 2 chnnels again

    Hi.

    I upgraded my OpenVix to 6.2.011 last week and since then I've once again got the problem where it will only allow me to record two channels at the same time. Trying to add more results in a message pop up saying there is no available tuner.
    This was all working fine before I upgraded. I could happily record 4 or more channels whilst watching another. My tuner list is below:
    Tuner A
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner B
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner C
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner D
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner E
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner F
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner G
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner H
    Vuplus DVB-S NIM(45308X FBC) (DVB-S2X)
    Tuner I
    Vuplus DVB-T NIM(BCM3466) (MultiType DVB-C/T2)
    Tuner J
    Vuplus DVB-T NIM(BCM3466) (MultiType DVB-C/T2)

    Tuner A and B are set to simple mode each with its own LNB. I note Tuner C now says its set to FBC Automatic connected to Tuner A, which I think has changed since the upgrade. I've attached a screenshot of the tuner screen.
    I tried a full re-tune, but that didn't help. Any ideas what could be wrong please?

    Thanks

    Yes, that other thread was the last time it happened to me. It was fixed by changing the tuner settings. However, I haven't changed them since and it seems to be not working again after the last OpenVix update. Hence this post.
    I'll grab the config file as requested above.

    You need to get it right and then make a backup. That way if something does go wrong you can restore the backup.

    And if you are losing these settings we need to know how so we can fix it.

    Personally I reflash my boxes several times a day during testing and don't lose these settings.

    Here is my settings file. Any help would be most appreciated. This 2 channel limitation is rendering the box unusable. Both Tuners appear to be configured.

    Thanks for the reply.
    No, nothing has changed in my setup. All I did was upgrade OpenVix and started getting the issue. It was running fine for months before recording many simultaneous channels fine.
    I have no idea what make the dish and LNBs are I'm afraid. It was here when we moved into the the house. I suspect it is a standard Sky setup. It has 2 LNBs wired into Tuner A and B. No switches or splitters.

    Okay, thanks. So do I need to change my Tuner config? As I say, I have not touched anything in the settings from when it was working properly.

    Your previous screenshot showed the tuner config overview. Select tuner A, then take a screenshot. Do the same for B. I think it is correct, but let's double check.

    Note:Tuner configuration not in use stay in the settings file to allow people to switch back.

    Okay, will do.

    I've also found the place in the log file where we there was a recording in progress and we were watching another channel. Then a 2nd recording started and we were kicked off the channel we were watching due to lack of a free tuner
