Fantastic! Thank you, I think I've got enough about how this is all put together to go from here.
I truly appreciate the help and all the work you've done
Got it all working!
Now to add multiple tuners and figure out sling tv

Great. No deep links as far as I know for Sling, so you'll need to use KEYEVENTs (remote control simulation). Check my firetv/directv scripts for some guidance on how this is done. Works fine once you get the hang of it.

Quick follow up, deeplinks to sling DO work!
You can get them from sling's web based tv viewer.
The format is: https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/8b649e4a2ca5d2859a96720bb1b0f575/watch

IIRC, those Sling "asset" IDs are for programs rather than channels, and cease to function once the show is over.
Gotcha, I'll check it out later... Thanks
Just experienced a Hulu video lockup again while watching live tv! The HDMI encoder with failure detection/keep_alive.sh is now more reliable than watching directly.
Apple TV latest generation as client.
EDIT: should not have mentioned TVE.

For those lamenting the lack of a Spectrum app for Android/Fire TV, I just ran across this.
It's a web wrapper for watch.spectrum.net. In limited testing, it works on both a Shield and a FireTV Stick 4k Max. The EPG navigation is a little wonky on the former, though. The app lacks an intent to go straight to a specific channel, but since it's open source, that could be added by someone with Android skills. The app is under active development so maybe the developer could be persuaded to add it.
3 onnTV Tuners.. Let's GOOOO
I'm currently working on a blog post detailing all the steps required to get from zero to THAT ^^^
Thanks again to @tmm1 @bnhf and @KompilerDJ !

Nice! When you get a moment, please PM me your pre, start and stop scripts along with your M3U. I'll give them a quick once-over to see if there's anything I can add, and then I'll post them to the repo for the "next guy". 
@johnofcamas, I look forward to reading your blog post. I'm ini the process of deciding whether to deploy this HDMI capture solution or the Chrome capture one. Which encoder did you decide on? Also, why did you choose the Onn over say a FireTV? My guess would be newer/more complete Android support. I haven't finished this entire thread yet so my aplogies to everyone if that's already been covered.

Documentation is definitely our next step before 1.0 so would appreciate any pointers of where we can beef this up. Looking forward to the blog post @johnofcamas !

I wonder why nobody has incorporated recording with HDMI and the HDhomeRun tuners with HDHOMERUN App ,,, I know I do this using NEXTPVR am able to channel change on my Primes and Capture DRM Channels via HDMI... That will surely help when the HDHOMERUN App can play but not record DRM ATSC 3.0 .... I know Crap about this HDMI for Channels so really can't get it going but I do have the Script to Change Channels on the HDHOMERUN App.
It’s on my radar but the encryption issue has me paused and

Are you using 3.0?
Yes this script will tune any Channel on the HDHomerun APP OTA or Cable.
I am over thinking this. Does the hd homerun app have deep links?
I thought if you could tune the Channel ... Channels DVR should be able to Capture The HDMI Stream. I do this with NEXTPVR and use the M3U from NEXPVR into Channels to capture my DRM Cabble Channels in Channels DVR.
Just thinking that now is the time to prepare to use the HDHomeRun app as input to HDMI for channels.
I am getting too Chatty time for dinner.
