Click the trash can next to the source on the web ui?
That removes the Provider but the tuner is still there .. I thought there was a curl command but I searched and cannot find it.
What tuner are you talking about, an HDHR?
If so that will always appear as a source because the DVR sees its broadcasts.
It won't be used if you remove the provider from it.
If a physical HDHR tuner is detected while the DVR is running, it will appear in the list. As long as you don't assign guide data to that tuner, Channels will ignore it. The only way to ensure the tuner does not appear in the DVR is to physically disconnect it from your network, then restart the DVR server.
This is on Docker that does not do auto discover I accidently added the tuner I want to retire by IP.

I too have replaced a TiVo Edge with a Channels DVR Server running on Windows 10 (gained all recordings auto-skip).
I also replaced my Roku, Fire TV, TiVo Stream, Google TV with a single Apple TV 4K (we really like the Top Shelf on ATV & the integration the Apple TV APP brings across multiple streaming services. One UI to see all our linear TV recorded shows and to see all our current streaming TV shows).
My question: I assume the instructions above about using Docker on a Synology box also applies to using Docker on Windows 10. Correct? And are there any nuance differences one needs to know?
I am trying to decide where to install a second DVR server: either on a NVidia Shield Pro? or on my existing Windows 10 NUC?
I wanted to test this on my Windows 10 Docker but I could not figure out how to download the image For Channels DVR ... Windows 10 with forced updates and other pain in the ass features was a pain to maintain.
I turned off Win 10 updates since I only use that NUC to only do 2 things:
1) Channels DVR Server w/!TB SSD,
2) Replication/backup of all our family digital files via OneDrive w/4 TB HDD for replication and via Crashplan for redundant cloud backups

If you get it working post how you got the Channels DVR image in Windows Docker.
Doesn't this work on Docker for Windows?
Of course you need to remove --net=host like it says in the notes.
And like any other container, you need to adjust your --volume mounts directories.
Docker for windows uses PowerShell to issue commands and those did not work. Maybe Channels Support can provide the commands.
Thanks chDVRuser for your help in setting up my system using Docker. Finally all done ...
Try entering 'cmd' (without the quotes) in powershell to enter the windows cmd shell.
Or open the cmd prompt as administrator and try that.
Are you running Docker Desktop for Windows?
And the Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend?
Yes I have Docker Desktop on my Windows 10 machine ... That is where I had my server setup before I fully moved it to Synology and Docker. It is only running Pluto container at the moment.
I'm not using my Win 10 PC's for Docker or Channels.
I prefer using my Synology NAS's for that since they run 7x24 and that's where I store my media anyway.
I also think on Docker Desktop for Windows you need to replace --net=host with -p 8089:8089
But like I said, I don't run Docker on Windows.

My Synology DS1019+ 16 GB memory Setup ... This allows for Sharing Streams/tuners across all. Shows how flexible and great Channels DVR is... Worth every penny.

Docker for windows can use powershell but doesn't have to. Just drop to a normal command prompt, start run, cmd
and enter your docker commands there.
The Documentation for windows is not clear to me ... and I am not that familar with docker on windows ... so I do not even know what commands to issue to get the TVE image.
docker run --detach --name=channels-dvr --restart=on-failure:10 --volume c:\dvr\config:/channels-dvr --volume c:\dvr\recordings:/shares/DVR fancybits/channels-dvr:tve
This is all one command from the cmd prompt. First create folders on c: drive then run command then localhost:8089/welcome that what worked for me. Note no hardware transcoding
