Unitymedia's Horizon HD Recorder shows error 1090 - what to do?

So that you can watch TV again quickly, we have put together the following tips for you to fix the error:

• First, take a look at the wiring from your Horizon receiver. All connections must be seated correctly here.
• In addition, the cables must be intact and have no defects or broken cables. If this is the case, the affected cable must be replaced immediately.
• Make sure that the antenna cable is connected to the "Data" socket of your antenna connection. If you don't have a "Data" socket, try the left socket.

• Simply plug it into the antenna socket and finally connect the receiver to the adapter. After restarting the receiver, the error should have disappeared.
• Error 1090 also means that the Horizon receiver is currently setting up. So wait a bit.
