I had to shorten the logs because they were a mile long. And I really apricate your help this has been driving me crazy for days now. ANd the crazy part about all of this is if I use my firestick to open the guide everythiing works. It starts recording and all of my tv show will record until I let it idle for 20 minutes.
Can you use the HDHomeRun software to view those Channels ? You might have a HDHomeRun unit failing.
Yes I can view the channels with the HD homerun software. And the unit its self is only 8 days old. And as long as I am on my computer it will work all day long. But 20 minutes after the computer goes idle it stops recording and it did the same thing on my minecraft server. I stopped watching tv and went to the store and it stopped recording.

Your Channels DVR server needs to be on 24x7x365.
Set the power management so it doesn't sleep/suspend.
Okay to have it blank the monitor, but don't sleep the cpu/gpu/bus/pci/usb/drives
Here are the logs I found when the recording failed.

The Signal Quality (snq) on your channels is really bad.

ss 60% (-24dBmV) minimum
Signal Strength 100% = 0dBmV = -48.75dBm and a change of 5% is a 3dBmV difference, so every 1% change is equivilent to 0.6dBmV. A signal strength of 80% (-12dBmV) or higher is recommended for OTA operation, 60% (-24dBmV) minimum. OTA ATSC minimum -30dBmV (50%)
snq 50% (16dB SNR) minimum
Signal Quality is scaled for each modulation type such that 50% is the minimum signal-to-noise requirement. For ATSC1, 100% SNQ is 30dB+ SNR, 50% is 16dB SNR.
seq 100%
Symbol Quality is an indication of how many uncorrectable TS frames (packets coming out of the demodulator with the TEI-Transport Error Indicated bit set in the packet header) have been lost in the last second (logarithmic scale). The Symbol Quality needs to be 100%.
Tuner signal or firmware issue probably
Why does it record all day long while I am watching TV? It only stops recoording if I stop watching TV and the computer goes idle? Yesterday I recorded for 10hrs without a problem. But as soon as I quit watching TV it recording stopped about 20 minutes later.
And like I say if I start watching TV the channels come in clear and I don't have any recording problems.
Indoor antenna?
Maybe your position relative to an indoor antenna affects the reception?
It's an indoor antenna and I sit in the same seat when it stops recording after the computer goes idle. And like i say the signal will not drop on any channels as long as I am watching TV.
Thats the part that confuses me. If the position of the antenna was bad or if it was a bad antenna it wouldn't come in at all if I was watching.
If you look at the signal stats that Channels DVR logged from your HDHR tuner, it shows your Signal Quality is too low, most likely causing the issue.
You can ask the experts for help in the SiliconDust forum HDHomeRun Hardware Setup & Troubleshooting - Silicondust
I have a silicon dust lte filter on my antenna. I just took that off and I am going to wait 20 minutes to see if it drops again. And if it does ill replace the antenna with my spare antenna. And report back.
You may also be dealing with 2 seperate problems.
On the antenna unless the lte filter is bad its doubtful it will change anything. Replacing your antenna may not make a difference either. It is probably an issue with signal/antenna placement espacially if it is an indoor antenna.
Can you describe exactly what happens when you notice the problem?
If I am watching TV (DVR Recordings) all of my channels come in with no problems. If I stop wattching TV the DVR stops recording after 20 minutes or so. But if I let it stop and start watching TV on my firestick It will instantly start recorrdinng again and have no more problems until I stop watching TV again/ And thats the part I dont understand. Wouldn't it not work if I was watching TV and the placement was bad? And why does it stop working if I am not watching tv?
Ahhh ok so the computer being idle likely has nothing to do with it. Sounds like when you are recording your stream is so bad that dies after a while and then maybe when you retune the channel it kick starts the recording again. Either way your signal issue needs to be sorted so get that corrected and then do some more testing.
20 minutes just happens to be the default time hard disks spin down in most Windows power plans. Could it be something odd like that?
Here are the logs from when I was watching TV. Therw is no mention of a bad signal when I am watching TV.

I'm not sure that's true; from the beginning of your posted logs:
58% average signal–to–noise and 94% average signal error seems to tell a different story.
In short, fix your antenna before troubleshooting Channels issues.
Yeah signal issues defintiely there. also i see wake timers being set in the logs so your machine is going to sleep. You might want to disable sleep.
And 100% of this recording affected by Signal error.
You're probably watching from a Channels Client that is accessing your HDHR tuner directly, bypassing the Channels DVR Server. Either that, or you're watching the recording in progress and ignoring the macro blocking, artifacts and lost frames. Digital TV is different than the old analog TV where you could VCR tape what we used to call snow and confetti on a poor signal. With digital, it's all or mostly nothing.
