I have a wireguard VPN setup between 2 locations. 1 in Utah and 1 in Colorado. Both have fiber and have 2 separate HDHR4-2US units, 1 in each site. I would like to have a single instance of channels that can connect to both HDHRs. Having a 2nd instance of Channels can work but that requires me to have to swap back and forth in the android TV app to watch channels from the secondary vpn location. There are a couple of things I would like to be able to see if they can be resolved.

Have a single guide to display both sets of channels between the 2 sites and this partially works. Right now the guide seems to have conflicts between the channels, where some may have the same channel number but have different shows because they are being broadcast in 2 different locations. For example 2.1 is CW in colorado but is CBS in Utah. The guide only shows the CW.

Channels keeps saying the signal isn't strong enough for the device over the VPN. It might be a longer latency than the software is expecting? If I run a separate instance of ChannelsDVR over the VPN my connection to the server from the support page of the android app says it's about 250mbps with a ~60 ms latency, and a 1ms jitter if that helps. Running iperf3 between the 2 sites I get about 250mbps and ping reports about 55-60ms so it lines up with what Channels is reporting. Using VLC to tune to my HDHR over the VPN doesn't have any issues that I can visually discern. It connects instantly without any buffering whatsoever.
