My setup consists of two backends: My master backend uses an HDHomeRun for its two tuners, and my slave backend (which has just been rebuilt and not put back into service yet) uses an HD-PVR attached to a digital STB. My cable service is Charter digital. My HDHR only tunes a handful of unencrypted channels, while my STB can tune a few hundred SD and HD channels. I've set up my HDHR and removed or moved each incorrect / blank channel so that my channel numbers match up to those on my STB (786 = Fox HD, etc). I'd now like to set up my other BE and mash the tuners together into one happy Myth sandwich. However I've had some issues doing this in the past and was hoping for some guidance.<br>
<br>The last time I tried this, I figured I could set up two sources, both relying on the same SchedulesDirect lineup. However, this resulted in duplicate channel numbers in the program guide and a general mess. My feeling is that as it stands now, the channel source I've set up only has the HDHR channels in it, so if I point my HD-PVR to this source it will be missing hundreds of channels. Is this correct? <br>
<br>I tend to use mythweb to edit channels, but I noticed in MythTV-setup that there's a field to tie a channel to a particular Video source. If I went the dual source route, I could append a .1 to each HDHR channel and tie those .1 channels to only the HDHR's source. It's a messy workaround that I'd like to avoid if possible but is it plausible? Or is there an easy fix that I'm not aware of? <br>
