Tuner card not detected after restart

I'm having issues with my tuner card not being detected after a system restart for the last couple weeks or so. It had been working flawlessly up until then (for the last several months before that - I'm relatively new to argus TV).

If I go into the recorder console > cards - it will show "Detected - No". If I simply click Save, it will reinitialize the card and will generally work from there on out... until the next restart. I haven't been testing yet to see if there's the same issue when resuming from sleep.

Specs:
Win 8 Pro
Argus 2.3
Hauppauge HVR-950Q (USB)

There are times when I'm getting significant issues with signal (constant buffering in Kodi during live broadcasts), but a system restart generally addresses anything there. Due to the age of the tuner (5+ years), I'm wondering if the stick is just wearing out.

The difference I see is that when I restarted the services, it "Started card service for card #1 ....," as opposed to skipping that step during system startup this AM.

Hi,
Seen this on one of my cards to.
I think Argus is just faster to start than the tuner.

Try to set delayed start on Argus and see if it helps.

Thank you! That appears to have taken care of the issue, at least after one test restart. I'll post back if anything changes. Thanks again for the help.
