When setting up my Plex DVR I am unable to find a way to enter additional zip codes in the DVR setup as found in step 5 of the DVR Setup guide on https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877347-live-tv-dvr/

I realize that second zip code link is for the “Tuner setup”, which does not come up when I go through the Live TV and DVR setup as shown on that page.

But, the HDHomeRun tuner finds and assigns all the stations correctly using my home zip code. I live between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and get stations from both areas. The Plex DVR does not find channel mappings for several of the Los Angeles stations when I use my home zip code, but does for Santa Barbara. If I input a Los Angeles zip code in the Plex DVR settings, it finds those Los Angeles stations but not the ones in Santa Barbara.

Is there a way to enter an additional zip code into the DVR settings? Or should I just set up two DVRs, one for Santa Barbara and one for Los Angeles?

You only get that option when you initially setup the DVR. Delete the DVR and start over.

Thanks for your response! I wasn’t able to get there by deleting and re-setting the DVR settings.

I did actually get all the stations listed by using a different zip code in Thousand Oaks, a city that is higher in elevation between me and Los Angeles. So I’ll bet your suggestion would work if I figured out how to delete the tuner itself and started from scratch.

In case you want to try at another time.
