HDHomerun PRIME tuners forgotten/ can't be found when scanning for sources

Channels Apple TV
#1

Hi I've tried googling this for awhile and can't find a fix.

I have two hdhomerun primes, both are static IPs on same subnet as each other and all Apple TV's. Launching the channels app says it's scanning and will find nothing, so I'll add the tuners by IP and it'll work fine for maybe 10 minutes before failing and showing there are no sources and having to reenter the IPs.

Is there a specific port that my router might be blocking that prevents the tuners from being scanned for?

Though if it would just remember the IPs I'd be happy even if they can't be scanned for.

HDHR tuners broadcast over UDP on port 65001.

I believe that did it, though not sure why it would have been blocked in the first place.

Thanks! Was honestly hell trying to get these all to work in addition to the rest of the house having to get used to the new interfaces.

My setup for future people finding this on Google:

Router is UDMP-SE
Two hdhomerun primes, Ethernet connected
All Apple TV’s (mixture of 4K and hd) on same WiFi and subnet

Changed firewall rule to allow local to local traffic of UDP 65001 with the ips for the two Hdhrs as the source and allowed to all local ips.

That sounds like a bug to me, but I don't use an Apple TV, so maybe it's normal for Channels tvOS?
