Thanks. Yes it does look like the crashes are being caused by signal quality issues with the HDHomeRun. I'll look into the cabling and see if I can improve things.

After resetting (i.e. power cycling) the HDHomeRun the DVROntime retuning process initially failed to find any channels at all. I then reset the HDHomeRun again and tried again. The DVROntime service crashed a few more times, but eventually the scan completed. There were no channels in the...

Thanks - yes, those were the six channels that I tried tuning. It was just 22 and 28 that caused the problem. It looks like Sky Arts is missing as a consequence, which is a shame as I use it alot. I've attached the event log. I think I tried tuning for the first time between 21:20 and 21:45

I'm on Crystal Palace

OK so it seems that channels 22 and 28 seem to cause the crash when tuning. If I omit these then I can progress to updating the EPG. So everything appears to be back up and running. Many thanks for your help!

Doh! Sorry I hadn't spotted that the section already existed. OK I managed to correct the config and start the service. One step forward.... Now when I try to tune the channels the DVROntime service repeatedly crashes after tuning four of the six channels. The message generated in the Event Log...

Just checking - I inserted the new <setting> section inside the <configuration> section (just below the <runtime> section - is that correct?

OK so I was able to start the service manually - must've been a genuine timeout.... So I stopped it again, replaced the three v1.0.6 files with the equivalent files from v1.0.7, made the changes to the config file, then tried to restart the service. This time I get: "Windows could not start the...

Removing that reg entry allowed me to uninstall and reinstall DVROntime (v1.0.6), but it failed with a timeout when trying to start the service.

Hmmm...there was indeed a DVROntime entry in Add or Remove Programs, but when I try to uninstall it I get an error - "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel..." So I manually deleted...

Yes that key was already set to MSSQL15E.LOCALDB, so I guess I have the correct version installed. Maybe I need to update the .Net framework???

Yes I installed that first, rebooted, then tried installing DVROntime

As an experiment, I also tried running the v1.0.6 install on a fresh (newly-installed) Windows 10 VM. That install also failed. So your theory regarding the changes to the .NET framework sounds potentially quite relevant.

No - it looks like it rolled back the install after it failed

Many thanks for your reply. The setup for 1.0.6 is now failing to complete. I didn't catch the error which flashed up in the console before it closed, but at the end of the process a dialog box pops up: "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup...
