I have two HDHR dual tuners and channel 2 (31) can record from any of the 8 virtual tuners that gives me. I don't think the HDHRs know how many antennas but if they are pointed in different directions perhaps they are actually not picking up the stations. I am probably not being that helpful and it has been a long time since I had multiple antennas pointed in different directions so the memory is weak. At one time I had three antennas, one north, one south, and one south east. It is no longer necessary as PBS broadcasts the same programs on their two locations and NBC is now has a transmitter both north and south of me.</div><div><br></div><div>So my advice is if you have antennas in different directions you reconsider that in light of where people are transmitting from and if you have both antennas pointed in the same direction then the HDHRs should not be able to tell the difference.</div><div><br></div><div>One thing you might do is just delete everything and do a full scan. That will probably leave you with one station you don't want but perhaps you will get a prompt to discard the weaker one. Otherwise, just scan delete the station and scan for the one you want. I didn't do it that way because I don't want to get all the stations that I can, like the ones in languages I do not speak.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen</div></div></div>

I fixed it. I'll tell you about my set up in a moment, but first, here's what I did. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The second input wouldn't do a single channel scan like I did for the first input. So I tried a full vhf/uhf range scan and the channels locked in and got added. Go figure. And I have to do this again Monday because a third channel got a weekend extension from the FCC. So strange that I could do a single channel scan on one input but not the other. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Optional explanation of my goofy setup that might inspire some:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I live in an east facing apartment in Toronto. The CN Tower, which broadcasts my local Canadian channels, is a few miles away slightly southwest of me, through the building. So I have a small antenna pointed at a curved building across the street and half a block north. Like a dish it reflects the bounced signals. Buffalo is southeast of me. The first antenna also catches some of those signals quite well, from the side no less. Quite a feat considering Buffalo is across Lake Ontario. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have a second antenna pointed directly at Buffalo. It also catches some of the Toronto signals as I'm so close to our broadcast antenna that a paperclip 📎 would probably be fine. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have two HDHomeruns. There's some duplication of channels just so that I have choices and can generally avoid scheduling conflicts. If I had an HDHomerun Quattro on the US facing antenna, I would probably drop the duplication. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
