EyeTV Hybrid can no longer tune TV

2012 Mini, High Sierra, EyeTV 3.6.9 (7528)  North American 2009 Hybrid with FM.

Sometime in the last week or so I've lost the ability to tune in TV.  When I try to auto-tune it runs through all the channels and finds none. All I get is "no signal."

All my FM channels are still there and work fine.

Connected to an antenna cable that runs to an antenna in my attic normally, also tried connecting to a stand-alone antenna, still "no signal."  About  miles from downtown Chicago as the crow flies, should be able to get 10s of channels even without an antenna so I know it's not the signal.  Also bedroom mac with same OS/EyeTV version and 2009 Hybrid is working just like always.

I've tried everything I can think of, and swapped in another unit (I bought up several backups off eBay a few years ago) and it's the same.

Would appreciate ideas for what else to try, thanks.

Ah never mind I solved it. Could not print and got the idea maybe there was some sort of USB voodoo going on; unmounted some drives, turned off some enclosures and just kind of knew the EyeTV would work even before I tried to print again (which then went fine.) I have two large USB hubs that are bursting... I replaced one not long ago, thinking maybe the other is no longer supplying enough power. Maybe it's time to break out into 3....
