I have an Apple TV setup with Quad HD4k HDHomerun. In trying to setup a movie to record, I select the normal HD channel (4.1) to record from but it keeps changing to the ATSC 3.0 channel (104.1) which doesn’t really have very good reception. How do I tell Channels to record the movie on 4.1 instead of 104.1? I know for Passes you can tell Channels the specific station, but I can’t seem to do it for the movie I want to record.
To avoid problems like this favor the Channels you want to record to. Or disable the ones you never want to use. If no Channels are favored ChannelsDVR will always try and use the higher HD numbered Channel.

How does the DVR pick which tuner to use to make a recording?
On the Channels DVR Server web admin, you can adjust the priority of your tuners to set the order in which they will be used for recording.
The DVR will always prefer favorited and HD channels first when multiple channels are available to record the same program. If the first tuner in the DVR’s list has a favorited channel, it will always be used for recording. If a matching HD channel is available on the first tuner, it will always be preferred for recording.
If no matching channel is on the first tuner, the same process is repeated for each subsequent tuner in the list.
Thank you! I just logged in to my Synology server and waded through the settings to find what you referred to. I made the changes you suggested then went back to my Apple TV and tried to setup the movie to record. Looks like it worked!
