Living in multiple OTA viewing areas for guide info?

Hello,

I live between two different cities so I pick up 2 CBS,ABC, NBC and FOX. When I enter my zip code for the grid information it only displays half the channels guide info. Is there a way to show both cities guide information? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Which model HDHomeRun are you using?

Hello,

Hope all is well. I seem to have run into this issue again after I have upgraded to the DVR service. When I was completing the DVR setting one of your steps is to insert my zip code and I have a feeling this is where things went sideways.

Once again I live in a fringe area between 2 major markets so we pick up 2 different local affiliates for the major broadcasters. The guide will only display info for 1 market. the problem is that we only get reception for the ABC affiliate in the market that is not displaying on the guide. I know this seems petty but would there be any fix so my guide displays for both markets? I have attached a photo of what I get.

Once again any help would be appreciated!

We have a way to fix this in the DVR now…

How many channels are missing data? What are the two zip codes?

The CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX are missing for the Omaha market. A zip code that would be for the Omaha market would be 51503. The affiliates that the guide is showing for is 50115.

Cool so just 4 channels? Can you post the channel numbers and names? Get them from the “xxx channels” link on the DVR settings web ui.

looks like 3.1 KMTV-TV, 6.1 WOWT, 7.1 KETV-DT, 42.1 FOX

curl -XPUT --data ‘{“3.1”:“24022”,“6.1”:“31853”,“7.1”:“32466”,“42.1”:“34907”}’ http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/guide/stations/USA-OTA50115

Run that command, replacing the ip with your DVR.

Worked like a charm. Thanks very much for your time!

I have the same issue, In your resolution to the problem I see where all of the numbers come from except the 5 digit numbers where do they come from? So I can take care of the issue myself.

Thanks
Larry.

I plan to build this into the UI, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

You can send me a list of channel number/names to look up, or do it yourself by looking for stationId in the JSON output on http://x.x.x.x:8089/dvr/guide/stations/USA-OTA12345 (where 12345 would be the other zipcode you’re trying to pull stations from).

You can also enter the other location into http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlistings, and you’ll be able to see the stationNum= as part of the url when you click on any of the channel logos.

Thanks for the Education.

Additional channels are available to me now. So I’ve had to got through this again.

It seems that zap2it has changed things and I can no longer locate a stationNum= for specific stations now. Any suggestions or ideas?

You can install the Chrome JSONView plugin (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc?hl=en) and then use http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/guide/stations/USA-OTA12345 (replace 12345 with zipcode).

As of v2018.08.27.1927, the lineup editor in the DVR (pencil icon under HDHR) now lets you add stations from multiple zip codes by clicking the plus icon at the top of the editor dialog.
