When configuring multiple HD Homerun tuners, any tuner configured after the first inherits the channel maps of the first tuner. This is a problem if configuring cable and then an off-air tuner, or vise versa.

The Plex DVR supports either Cable or OTA. tuners and will configure the channels based on the first tuner added as you have discovered. See the DVR & Live TV Frequently Asked Questions article:
