I think you need to either alter the pass, or manually select the ATSC 3.0 show (on correct channel) to record directly from the guide.
Channels DVR supposedly does not care about channel numbers unless specified.. I have a test shot running in a few to see what happens with my scenario above.
I have 3 hdhomerun's. My atsc 3 homerun is at the bottom of the priority list. 4 atsc 1 channels would have to be utilized before Channels would even try the 4k hdhomerun. If an atsc 3 channel is tuned then it used the 3rd priority tuner to tune the channel.
If you manually select something live from the guide to record, it will record on that channel number. If you create a pass, channels DVR does not care about the channel numbers (unless you specify them in the pass settings).
Right ... my scenario with the priorities and favoring Unfavoring worked great for passes.
The only ones I have favored are my ASTC 3.0 Channels.
Qutrao- no favored Channels
ASTC 3.0 only ASTC 3,0 Channels favored.
So if your show is available in ATSC 3.0, does it jump to the bottom ATSC 3.0 tuner? If it does, this is different than I have seen it work for all other things.
YES because that Station is favored Channels DVR ironically does not care about Channels.
ok, i think you might be surprised in the future.
will see what happens tonight. fingers crossed.
Glad someone is testing it (I don't have multiple tuners).
Would also be nice if they could update their Support Article if it's not accurate.
How it worked a couple years ago...
oh, thanks for posting that. I am in that thread a lot. It looks like the method I mentioned was used from 2017 until end of 2019 when the bug was fixed. So it is supposed to work with just the favorites on a lower priority tuner now. If that bug is indeed fixed, what @Edwin_Perez is trying should work. In my case, I never could get it to work perfectly in all circumstances unless i was very specific in the way I ordered tuners and disabled channels.
Would be nice to see something simple like this.
I don't know if HEVC or UHD is even considered.
Recording priority (where tuner# is in tuner priority order)
1 Favorited HEVC/UHD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
2 Favorited HD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
3 Favorited SD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
4 non-Favorited HEVC/UHD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
5 non-Favorited HD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
6 non-Favorited SD channel on tuner#1 then tuner#2, tuner#3...
and I also wonder what order it checks the channels on a tuner, by channel#?
If you had say HD channels 708 and 808 both favorited and they were both airing the same thing you wanted.
I think the higher number wins. And I don't think manually selecting a show to record follows the same rule as a pass. There is currently some special case. i don't remember what it is, but has caused me to set up everything in a very specific way with channels that should always pass through HDHR1 being disabled on HDHR1.
We will see what happens ... I record all new shows Prime Time but the news on major broadcast channels. I only have 1 ASTC 3.0 tuner.
Curious to see.
If you have nothing else using the tuners I would predict...
08:00pm The Bachelorrete 102.1 until 10:01pm
08:00pm The Voice 108.1 until 08:56pm
08:00pm The Resident 12.1 until 09:00pm
08:56pm The Prologue 108.1 until 09:02pm
If any channels are favorited they should have been taken into account and are reflected in the channel order that shows in the scheduled jobs you posted.
It worked as it should ... everything started recording no problem.
Recording ch102.1 for The Bachelorette until 10:02PM.
Recording ch108.1 for The Voice until 8:57PM.

Those are tms id's (Tribune Media Services) that Gracenote uses.
EP is Episode
SH is Show
MV is Movie
Showing up as SH... just means they didn't have an episode number or episode title for the airing.
It was one that previously aired. But since no correct info it picked it up as new.
I wonder no more. Highest channel number wins ties.
