Guide Duplicates - Stacking

Channels DVR Server
#1

I'm not sure if this should be posted here, or in the iOS/TVOS section, considering it is a server side setting, I decided to post here. I'm not seeing the duplicate channel stacking on my devices, all Apple. We recently started receiving ATSC 3.0 broadcasts and the guide data shows those, as well as the ATSC 1.0 channels separately. I realize I can "hide" these channels by either disabling them in the tuner, or by using Channel Collections, but that won't solve the issue. Right now, I can obviously "choose" the channel I want to watch, but since my tuner only has two ATSC 3.0 tuners, if those are in use, stacking should send me over to ATSC 1.0, correct? I'm also stacking by Guide Data, not by channel number.

I also see this same behavior with the TVE locals, but sometimes those work. Since we have a Fox affiliate, that guide data doesn't always match, so I get why that one might not work.

I believe the stacking is for merging between sources. If different channels from the same source have the same guide data, they will not be stacked.

So, if that’s the case, then I could disable those 1.0 channels on the 4K, then use a quadro, and they should stack? I think I’m going to try this. Simple enough workaround if it works.

Yes, but if your 3.0 tuners are in use, and you attempt to tune an additional 3.0 channel, the Quattro will be used, rather than one of the 1.0 tuners on the Flex.

Probably not that big of a deal, but something to keep in mind.

This should work exactly how I want it to! Thanks for pointing me in that direction!
