HD Homerun - Play back error -Tuner Not Found

[BandG 0]

I recently started having issues with Live TV.  That's our main use for Emby.  We connect it to HD Homerun so we can watch antenna channels on multiple devices. Also recently noticed some of our recordings fail mid-stream.  We travel sometimes and like to watch our local channels/shows wherever we are.  Since we may go for a few weeks at a time, I created a start up task to re-start Emby daily.  We may have an issue accessing/watching on one day, but it usually clears on the next.

I read some past topics on Tuner not found error and tried to resolve this myself, but have been unsuccessful so far.

Things that I have tried:

 1) made sure Emby was up-to-date,  2) Tried re-starting EMBY & the server, 3) Verified Firewall still allows Emby services, 4) Un-installed my Anti Virus software, 5) Removed our picture library from displaying (not needed for us), 6) Re-downloaded HD Home Run app to make sure it is current.

I did enable detailed logging and tried again, unsuccessfully.  I can forward the logs, if needed.

I've seen errors in the log like: 

    Error LiveTV: Error deserializing C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\livetv\timers.json

    Error HdHomerunHost: Error reading file: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\livetv\tuner_........._channels

I am not sure what to try next.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Update to the weirdness......

I was able to view the antenna channels thru the HD Homerun app while we were on our home network.  Our wifi was up the whole time.  The channels worked fine.  3 hours after logging this issue, my wife tried Emby on our TV & everything was up & running again.

So, I'm going to scour thru Event Viewer to see if anything jumps out.  

Is it possible that a background task is taking a long time to complete?  I can't make sense of how this comes & goes.
