My TV tuner was working great then all of a sudden it's not. Whenever I try to watch TV, I get "tuner not available. The tuner in currently in use by another application or is not working". There are no other programs running.
Not sure what is going on.

Hello, Lannie1234
Check your Device Manager for any problems. Go to Start, type “device manager” in the search box and press enter. Check if any item is unknown or has a yellow Exclamation /!\ next to it.
If so, what is the error?
We look forward to hearing back from you.

I just had this same issue. It was there were more then one NPVR services running. I have a 3rd party program installed: XBMC. I had to shut down those services first, then media center recognized it.
