Anything else I am missing before I deploy the stack, this time I am saving these docker compose on a notepad.

Good idea 
Update these
CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089 # change it to CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109:8089 # change it to CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109
PORTAINER_HOST=192.168.7.109:8089 # change it to PORTAINER_HOST=192.168.7.109
Remove the port numbers and keep the DVR2 PORT empty?
CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089 change to CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109:8089 change to CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109

This should be the actual LAN hostname (hostnames never have spaces), or IP address of any Channels client you'd like to be able to send onscreen messages to.
Also, if you could update OliveTin to the :latest (:2025.02.22), pushed a few minutes ago, and then re-run a Post-Install Healthcheck. Please post the results shown in Standard Output (no Standard Error) here, as there are a couple of things I'd like to verify.
Under Clients in the CDVR web settings, it says my ATV 4K is named "Living Room"?
That's CDVR's informal name for the device not the actual LAN hostname. Using the LAN IP for this value is probably the easiest, and it's shown on that same page in the CDVR webUI under that informal name.
Great! I will. I will look for how to update OT.
You can either use Watchtower, or if you don't have that installed, stop the OliveTin stack. Then, go into the Stack Editor, and click Update the stack followed by selecting the Re-pull and redeploy slider.
Is that option available on the free version of Docker? I don't see it.
You probably need to correct these directories
Do I need to copy the new stack info before updating the stack?
edit...
I copy/pasted the info from post #1, and OliveTin says version 2025.02.22.
Thanks.
ChannelsDVR location is on same Windows 11 PC as Docker. The location is C:\ProgramData2\DVR
What should the values be?
You should be able use C:/ProgramData2/DVR for your LOGS_SHARE value.
That's what you want to see! Looks good.
