TV does show same number of Pluto, Stirr & Plex channels as Server Sources

#1

When I watch TV, the number of channels available on Pluto, Stirr & Plex are not the same as shown available in my Channels Server on my computer.

For example: In my server, it shows I have 338 channels available from Pluto. On my TV, it only shows 105 when I check the source in my TV DVR settings. I have less channels available for Stirr and Plex also.

I am including a screenshot of my Pluto settings. Any idea why I am not getting all of these channels on my TV? Any suggestions on how to correct or fix would be appreciated.

If you click on the # channels link under the source on the DVR web UI
Pluto
338 channels

Does it show any hidden channels?
Pluto (M3U-Pluto)
338 channels (19 favs, 57 hidden)

Since I have 57 hidden, only 281 display in the guide.

One other thing I can think of is that you have channel number collisions between sources.
Set the Options in the M3U settings for your sources to Ignore channel number from M3U, instead of.Prefer channel number from M3U. That way Channels DVR assigns the channel numbers.

Major DUH! When I went to the manage option, at some point, I marked a lot of channels as blocked - thus the reduced number of channels!

Ignorance is bliss!!!

Thanks so much for the information and taking the time to help!
