I see the same thing occur on

I see the same thing occur on occasion, but the program always seems to record with no problem.  I don’t have tuning adapters and it happens on my Hauppauge 2250’s as well as my Cetons.  I’m thinking that if WMC can’t get a lock on a channel using one tuner it rotates between available tuners until the channel comes in.  It’s not unusual to get several failure messages in a row for a given program. 

I think that WMC just has too tight of a window between the time it looks for a channel and the time it declares a fault.  Perhaps there’s a registry hack to extend the time window before the fault is declared.  Either that or maybe the selected tuner can be checked X number of times for a signal lock before the fault is declared.
