Right so, I still think there's something wrong with the sharing or folder permissions.
Every time I've had this issue it was because the external HDD I used had disconnected and the OS dropped the shares.

ARGUS TV Recorder's manual record option doesn't care about shares and permissions, everything else does.

Can you please use the check shares option in Scheduler Console>Recorder/Tuners.
You can fix it, or you can fix it until it's broken. I usually choose the latter.

It says "Shares defined on recorder Argus are OK" and then it lists the shares

hmmm...

Have you seen this wiki page http://www.argus-tv.com/wiki/index.php?title=HDHomeRun? It notes that you may need to change the card settings to prevent tuning errors. It might be worth a shot.

Eureka!! you have solved it. I guess I set mine up before that Wiki page was around. The 10second wait used to work fine until recently - changing to 20 per the wiki got it all working again.

Thanks again for your help!
