I am using the DVR from GetChannels but for my last 3 recording the DVR stopped recording 44 minutes into the program and then when I go to the channel it says “Invalid Tuner” but if I quite getchannels and restarted it I can then access the channel.
Please check the Log tab on the DVR and post the log entries from around the time the recording was taking place.
The ATV can show a message like “Tuner not available”… is that what you mean? There is no message “Invalid Tuner” as far as I know.
What HDHomeRun model are you using?
Sorry, yes it says “Tuner Not Available”
HDHomeRun Extend
Can you check the hdhomerun web interface for the system log and see if it shows any errors?
Sounds like this might be the same problem as HDHomeRun EXTEND "reset reason = application watchdog"

Thanks for the logs. The error you’re seeing is “file too large” and is coming from your operating system.
Can you copy/paste the OS/CPU section from the top of the DVR settings page so I can know what kind of computer/NAS you’re running the DVR on?
You might want to look into the filesystem or filesystem configuration of where your DVR is storing your recordings. Some older filesystems don’t support files over 4GB or have support for large files turned off by default. HD MPEG2 will run 6-8GB for an hour show so 44 min mark would be when you are exceeding 4GB.
I would guess you’re running on windows and your drive is formatted FAT32
