I also asked in the Hdhomerun forum. Why am I getting ABC . 9.11 in Orlando? It doesn't play.
Does Channels DVR have guide data for it?
Is it WFTV Channel 9?
You can check your HDHR tuner to see what frequency it was found at and convert that to the RF channel#.
If RF 35 (599 MHz) it's the Christmas, FL (Orlando) WFTV transmitter
If RF 19 (503 MHz) it's the Osteen, FL (Deltona) WFTV transmitter
Here's a Frequency in MHz to RF channel# list reference so you don't have to search the web for it

I think its part of an ATSC 3 station. At least I started getting 54.11 when CW (54) moved to ATSC 3 tower. Channel is the same content as 54.1. You can disable the channel in your tuner settings.
Don't see ABC 9 on the ATSC 3.0 list here for Orlando

Could that be something SiliconDust added to their firmware, like adding 100 to the channel number for ATSC 3.0 channels?
I don't know what it is exactly. But I know when CW moved to new tower for ATSC 3.0, I started getting 54.11 in addition to 54.1. 54.11 is not actually ATSC 3.0, but it is some slightly different encoding and doesn't play on all of my devices. It's the same content as the .1 channel, so I just disabled it. But I thought it had something to do with the 3.0 repack.
Is it the same frequency as the ATSC 3.0 lighthouse?
Don't see anything on the SD Forum about that, so wonder if the broadcasters are changing the virtual channels numbers. I'm sure Trip Ericson at https://www.rabbitears.info knows since he's also an FCC employee.
I just can't justify a new antenna and a SD HDHR4k for the possibility of paywalled 4k OTA sometime in the future for the same content OTA provides now.
Apparently it's out of Deltona, no guide data. Why would it show up in Channels if I didn't manually scan? My Hdhomerun shows Jacksonville guide data( doesn't come in) which Channels doesn't.
The HDHomeRun does automatic scans on a regular basis. There is no way to disable this as far as I know. All you can really do is disable weak channels that might get picked up from time to time.
@Macnbaish is spot on.
According to Silicon Dust, their tuners perform background scans using all tuners every three days +/- 12 hours.
If you disable that channel 9.11, background scans that see it again wont enable it.
The only way it would get enabled is if it's seen during a manual scan you initiate.
Silicon Dust is not yet convinced anyone needs to disable the background scanning.

Forgot to mention.
To see the frequency for channels in your lineup browse to
http://127.0.0.1/lineup.json?show=all&tuning (for a json listing)
http://127.0.0.1/lineup.xml?show=all&tuning (for a xml listing)
Of course replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of your HDHR tuner.
