Color Code Channel Source in "On Now"

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

I would like to see some sort of color code for Channel Source when viewing "On Now" and "On Later." Maybe a color dot or corner triangle in the upper left corner of the channel thumbnail.

Example: Red dot for Spectrum channels. Blue dot for Pluto channels. Green dot for Stirr channels.

The reason for request: When I arrange my "favorites," Many times, I have several sources for the same channel. It would be helpful when arranging my "favorites" to know which source the channel is from.

This would be helpful also when deciding programs to record. Mainly, because some programs record without interruptions on one source, but will not record without interruptions on other sources.

Wouldn't it be more useful to just overlay the source as text on the program tile if you have multiple different sources? Rather than some random color dot interface that requires a ring decoder?

I wouldn't be mad if it overlaid the text "HDHomeRun" over the program tile or even underneath it. Again, only if you have multiple different sources. Seems cleaner and no decoder ring or other such interface changes required.

Just my 2¢
