DiIfferent channels pulling from the same source?

Live.

For live, go to the guide and then scroll down to the channel you want to watch. If there is more than one instance of the channel from multiple sources, you will need to identify the source you want to watch by the channel number.

When you define sources, you can define the starting channel number for each source. For each source use a channel number that will be larger than the previous and to keep it easy you can increment by thousands or ten thousands. This will make it easy to identify each channels' source. For example broadcast 1-500 and TVE 1000 and up.

You must be a bot, b/c your responses show that you are not comprehending the description of the issue.

LOL, is this what is happening?

You want to watch a specific show. You receive the show from multiple sources. For example two NBC stations in different cities both via your HDHomeRun using an antenna. Do you have more than one HDHomeRun? You also mentioned TVE. Is this show also showing on a TVE source?

What client app/device is this on?

I see it on my GoogleTV streamer, but I have also seen it on other AndroidTVs.

I have the same issue. If I switch to the next identical channel with the Channel +- keys on my remote, Channels will stay on the same feed. If I exit to the guide, then select the feed I want, it works as expected.

How are you switching the channels?

By going back to the guide, then finding a different, e.g., CBS.

Last night, we wanted to watch the NCAA Selection show. Due to the storm, the OTA CBS was not coming in. So, I switched to a TVE version - from a different city - and it continued to show the same OTA feed.

Are you sure the TVE feed is working? If it's not, Channels will automatically switch to another that is.

A test related to this: Unplug the network cable from your HDHomeRun. Now try playing the station as you have been. Also with the HDHomeRun off line, try going directly to the TVE station in the guide. What results do you get?

Network cable pulled from HD Homerun. Tuned to local channel...... the basketball game is on, but I have no idea where it is pulling the feed from.

EDIT: From watching the local commercial, I figured out its pulling from the very next CBS in my guide.

What is the source of that next CBS?

A custom channels source.

This shows that failover works.
Is this source the TVE Custom Channels Source or something else?

Did you do the second test when you try and play the TVE source? If yes, did that work?

How do I DISABLE the failover? I want each discrete channel to be of a different video feed. This setup is kind of stupid.

Failover is desired by most. You need to rename the sources. You would do well to tone down your public behaviour.

Rename the sources to what? They already have different names.

TBH, I don't need or appreciate the lecture from some random person on the internet. If you don't like a person's "public behavior", maybe you should keep that to yourself?

Nobody else has offered to help you and now I'm done. Enjoy the silence

Are you serious? Others are offering help. Maybe you should get off your high horse.

TBH, while you may have "offered" to help, nothing you provided actually did help. So.... thanks for nothing. Your silence will not be missed.
