Can I add more channels to Plex that I receive other than the ones in my zip code?

I use a Ota antenna and I receive channels from three cities. When I put my zip code in it only lists the channels in my zip code. How do I add the other channels I receive to the guide to be able to see all my channels?

I’m having the same problem. Before 1.16.x I had my Austin stations as well as the San Antonio ones under Zip 78130. They show as found but are blanked out after scan. Shows 67 ch. but only 44 are enabled. New EPG needs to enable multiple ZipCodes. Deleted DVR a number of times, still no change.

I am afraid it is not possible, Combining different sources has been requested as a feature

But if previous lineups for some post codes included channels from nearby zip codes, i can discuss that with our new provider… Would need zip code and which channels from adjacent zip code are available and what the other zip code is

Would there be any clash with channel numbers?

I don’t believe that would be an issue. HdHomerun has no problem picking up other cities zips and stations and listing them. That’s how I see them now. If I use HdHomerun software or Windows Media Center they do not have a problem showing them. It does not list in the guide the shows on the channels from other cities but it does play the shows fine to watch without a problem. Those software players just don’t have some of the features Plex does and also WMC is no longer supported, and HdHomerun requires a higher price per month for their dvr feature to be able to record to watch later.

We do not have the option for merging EPGs from different sources - it is an existing feature request

Please get this feature added. It is so frustrating to have channels available and not be able to view them in the Plex Live TV and DVR.
