Managing multiple tuners

[rthurlow61]

Big changes to my 2xHDHR Dual setup today - I put a pretty good small antenna outside to shoot south at mostly-Denver, and a dodgier one in a north-facing window to pick up Cheyenne. There's a little overlap. The south antenna is better most of the time, while the north picks up one Cheyenne channel the other can't see at all, and I might prefer it for two other channels.

My question is: how can I convey this knowledge to Channels DVR? If I try to tune RF 30 that only the north antenna can see, Channels can't launch the stream, but it streams fine with the HDHR software, so unfortunate decisions are being made about which tuner pair to use.

Thanks,
Rob T

you could set just the couple channels on the north one (in channels list block the other overlaps) then put that tuner as a higher priority, so for the 1 or 3 channels that are better on it, cdvr will use that tuner first. the other channels will only be available on the 2nd tuner facing south

Typically you would hide the channels which don't work on the hdhomerun

Cool, folks - I have the Wyoming antenna set to heart 5.x and 27.x and to block others, and the Denver antenna set to block 5.x and 27.x. I first used the iOS app's ordering, but that seemed not to have an effect, but then I found "Adjust Priority" in the Sources page on the server, and that's done it. Nice to have the control - that means I don't need a Smartkom (yet). I'm going to get a Televes and get it installed with some height, and then I can redeploy the Denver antenna towards Wyoming. Kind of shocked how well that Clearstream 2Max is pulling in Denver now.
