How to remove channel from Guide and DVR

How do I remove a channel so that the guide nor the DVR will try to use it? I am in the San Francisco Bay Area and there are a few channels that I receive from two different OTA transmitters. NBC is an example. OTA channel 11-1 is broadcast from Mt. San Bruno (south of SF) and 11-3 is broadcast from Mt. Allison in San Jose - they broadcast identical content. I receive both channels, but 11-3 is not as strong of signal, so I want to get rid of it. Using my DVR computer's web browser (Safari on MBP) I tried Settings / Tuner section / Edit (pencil icon) but couldn't figure out what to do next.

Click the other link in your hdhomerun that says “123 Channels”

Found it, then just click on the red slash, then the X in the far upper right (close window)? No "save" button required?

Yep that’s it

Was curious about this also, since I live in the area where 11.3 is better as well. I first tried to edit 11.1 -> 11.3, but it was ineffective in causing the tuner to tune into 11.3. I eventually just hid 11.1 and favorited 11.3 which works fine, I was just trying to avoid having to edit my DVR series pass channels. Should the edit changing what 11.1 pointed to have worked though?

No, you should only edit channels if the guide data is wrong.

To prevent recording from a channel you need to hide it or favorite preferred channels. The channel is not picked until the recording starts so the channels shown on the Schedule don’t necessarily matter.

Just so I am clear here. If I am trying to hide channels from showing up in my guide, all I have to do is click the Circle with the line through it, in the sources?

Then it shouldnt show in the guide?

To stop it from showing in the client app's guide, you need to disable it on the client, not the server. Disabling it on the server will make it so that it won't be used for recordings. On the client app, go to Settings > Manage Sources, then select the source/tuner that you wish to modify. From there, change the status of the channel to disabled.

I have clicked the circle with the line thru it on the client app (Firestick 4K) on all the adult swim channels and many of the network news channels,
But when I select ALL for the Guide they still show up.
I also tried on the Server side but they still show up.
