Between support for Locast and TVE, in many cases I now have 3 copies of the channel (more if you count HD vs SD). I prefer OTA for all the channels that come in without an issue, but that's not the case for all of them. Likewise I may prefer Locast from some of the channels I can't get locally and TVE for others. And in many cases, the OTA channel is at least usable in case we're without power and have no network.
So with all that being said here's the feature request:
- Be able to limit what channels show up in the guide based on the channel. I don't need to see three copies of the same channel. (Maybe even be able to collapse HD and SD channels to the same channel))
- Be able to prioritize which source (or tuner if you have multiple tuners) each channel comes from. (This extends to HD vs SD.)
- Be intelligent in that if my preferred source is not available (external network not available, tuner not available, etc.), use the second source. If the second source is not available, use the third. And so on down the line. Note: If you have to limit this to 3 sources, I'm perfectly happy, and if you have to limit this to the top 2, while not ideal it is acceptable (and way better then what we have).
- Give the shear number of channels I now have available, some way of grouping or ordering. Sometimes the ancillary channels of a station aren't grouped near it. Being able to control this would be great. And yes, I know about the categories, but those seem to be based on HD, SD, Favorites (1 thing I can select), and content. I'd rather group my channels regardless of current content.
Oh, and in case I haven't said it before, THANK YOU for making such a great product. It has really changed my world.
