vu duo 2 tuner issues !

Vu+ Newbie
hi guys
i have a duo 2 since feb this year, alls been great untill bout 2/3 weeks ago.
i have 4 tuners installed all the same (see pic for confiuration)
i turned tv on to see " no free tuner" very strange i thought, checked what was recording and only to programmes recording! couldnt understan it. so i tried a clean install of both original and open blackhole images, both gave the same result of showing no free tuner whilst recording 2 programes!
occasionaly i can record 3 programes before i get no free tuner. currently running latest open blackhole image.
i have added couple of screen shots of the tuner status in the info bar whilst in normal use and after reboot. in normal use u can see tuner b&c show red, but after reboot they show white for a short period then revert to red!
do u think the tuners maybe faulty? looking for any advice here guy;-)s

Blue generally indicates the Tuner is available, Red means that it's recording.
You should be able to at least record 3 channels, more if on the same transponders, and view any other channel.
I would start by changing your Tuners, Tuner A Simple, Single, Astra 2, 28.2E, Tuner B Equal to A, Tuner C Equal to A, and Tuner D, Equal to A, if possible, I currently only have 2 Tuners, in my VU+ Duo 2.
I would also check your channels, as they can change, quite often, on 28.2E, epsecially as some are moving to a new satellite, and re-scan them in:

Just Tried that mate but still the same, anyone else shed any light on this issue?
 
ok after a bit of a search on the subject and similar issues, i found the problem. after trying to set up transcoding and setting ports on the rourter, this seemed to be the problem.
i deleted the ports i had set up on the router and alls well again:-D
thanks for the help;-)
