Tvheadend stopped working after upgrade

Hello,

first, tvheadend stopped working for me in Kodi, but the backend still worked from the web interface. I could stream TV through my network just fine.

Then I updated tvheadend to 4.0.5. I used to have like 40 channels mapped; now I have 5 and they won't play. I can't get any of my muxes, services or channels to play. The log just says:

subscription: 008B: service instance is bad, reason: No input detected
webui: Couldn't start streaming /stream/channel/85480cc1429ecc8208bdf7f2b7bdb0bc, No input detected
subscription: 008B: No input source available for subscription "HTTP" to channel "Test Channel"

The ATSC interface under TV Adapters was not enabled, so I enabled it. I still can't get anything to work, though. The Scan Result is 'FAIL' for all muxes. What do I do?

I'm also encountering what may be a similar issue, though I'm working from a git master.

The other thing that changed in my ATSC OTA setup is that I switched from my desktop Ubuntu 15.04 AMD64 Linux 4.1 AU0828 custom module (to add my usb tuner) (tvh unknown git version from last month) -> ODroid XU4 (exynos-5422) Ubuntu 15.04 Linux 4.2 through a USB 2.0 hub HTS Tvheadend 4.1-373~gcb5f6a1-dirty.

1) I had NOT encountered this issue from my desktop.
2) I find it only seems to happen after a period of idle time. For example, I had some recordings to occur, but found "time missed" and the log:

I'm pretty sure the "Service name collision" was from the tvheadend still running on my desktop with NO tuner. After seeing that, I disabled tvheadend on my desktop.

I also went ahead and disabled "Power Save" for the tuner on the ODroid and had the TV running for a few hours with no problem. I don't think I tried to change any channels outside of that frequency though.

Then I went out for ~1 hour, went to start the TV (using Kodi 16-Alpha1 Git:2015-07-31-06eee488) and it wouldn't start. The log was showing the same thing:

After a "$ sudo systemctl restart tvheadend.service", it was fine... for now... HA! Ok, just as I'm about to submit this, the tv stops streaming and Kodi starts taking up more CPU. I find that Kodi will do that every now and again, even when I was using my desktop as the host AND client, and when I am doing some time shifting.
So, I stop Kodi from playing, select the same channel and again it says "No input detected"

I also find that I don't necessarily have to restart the service.
I can just jump around to different channels and subchannels and eventually one of them will work and I might be able to go back to the failing channel.

Thing is, that channel frequency is the strongest signal channel I get currently.
