[bug] unable to select the correct channel when there are duplicate virtual channels

Some low-power repeater uses the same virtual channel as a major station. I don’t receive the low-power station. The UI doesn’t show duplicate channel numbers, I have the correct 3.2 but the incorrect 3.1 in the drop down menu.

These are the relevant web requests:

<DeviceChannel key="triplet://0:343:1" identifier="3.1" name="KCRA-TV" drm="0" hd="0" favorite="0" />

Well, that was unexpected; the channel identification options flipped.

On my TV’s I have two 19.1 channels and two 19.2 channels. Each of them has one good and one bad channel. In the list you have above, I only have one choice. Is there a way to choose which channel we want to use if there are duplicates?

When I DVR shows, it chooses to record using the crappy channel, not the good one for whatever reason :frowning:
