Good Afternoon. Please could anyone advise if it is possible to replace the SD channels from HDHR tuner in Channels DVR server or app with HD versions for UK Freeview, specifically BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel4 & Channel5? I have tried to find the answer in the forums but have been unable to. Thanks in advance, Scott.
Depends on how you bring those channels into Channels DVR.
What source are you using for those in Channels DVR?
Could you be a bit more specific? The HD channels are available starting at channel 101. Are you asking if it is possible for the HD channels to be mapped to channels 1,2,3,4,5 rather than 101,102,103,104,105?
If you don’t want to see the SD channels you can go to the HDHR web interface and block them and channels will respect that block during its scan and you’ll never see those SD channels again.
Hi, the source is antenna through a HDHomeRun Quatro Flex and I want to map HD channels 101-105 to channels 1-5. I’ve tried to hide them in the HomeRun interface but this doesn’t solve the mapping issue. Thanks.

Hide the SD channels, create a custom channel source using this as a template for each channel.
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="101.1" channel-number="1" tvg-name="BBC1",101.1 BBC1
http://ip.of.hdhr.not.server:5004/auto/v101.1
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="102.1" channel-number="2" tvg-name="BBC2",102.1 BBC2
http://ip.of.hdhr.not.server:5004/auto/v102.1
The top one will create a channel 1 but will tune to channel 101.1 when selected. Change both BBC1 to whatever the channel is called. And so on down the line for each channel.
It should look like this in channels. In the example screenshot my ip of the Hdhomerun is 192.168.1.131

Choose prefer channel numbers from m3u. Leave guide blank in the settings. After the source is created, to add guide data select the manage drop down and select set provider and use your zip code. Then select manage lineup, then click the “+” button on each channel and assign the corresponding channel to the channel.
Finally adjust source priority and move the new source to the top row. You should be set now assuming the hdhr in the UK are the same as the states. If it doesn’t work simply delete the custom source.
Thank you, I will give this a try tomorrow 
That worked perfectly Rice, thank you!
